    Possible to Pair XBOne wireless controller to windows 10 via bluetooth?


    I have seen people pairing their controllers to android with bluetooth.

    But since the controller already works on windows 10 with usb, it is possible to pair it with a windows 10 tablet that has bluetooth? My tablet only has micro USB ports and micro to micro cables are almost non-existent or very rare for some reason.

    :)

    Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows - using Controller with other Game

    Hello,

    i bought the XBox Wireless-Adapter for Windows and can use my Xbox-Controller with the Windows 10 App Xbox to Control my Xbox remote. But i can´t use the Controller with other Windows Games, if i connect the Controller via USB-Cable it is possible.

    Is there any way to use the Controller wireless on my pc with the Adapter and other games?

    Thanks

    xbox one pad compatibility question

    Hi

    It is not possible to use the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to connect this controller to your PC. This controller looks like it features Bluetooth so you may be able to connect it this way or alternately you can connect it via a USB cable or the wireless adapter.

    It may also be possible to purchase the controller and wireless adapter together such as I have linked below.

    Please note to use the Windows wireless adapter it looks like your PC must be running Windows 10.

    get a micro usb to full usb adapter, they are plentiful and work very very well, then you can use your regular micro usb cable

    The X Box One controller is Wi-Fi Direct and I don't believe it has a Bluetooth chip inside. On a side note, there is a Bluetooth capable chip inside the X Box One.

    Peace, J.R.

    I guess ill just have to wait until my Type-C adapter arrives then. Looking at the probably getting a Steam controller for my windows devices though, looks pretty neat.

    Xbox One Controller forgetting bluetooth pairing after being plugged in.

    the controller will always remain paired to the console without issue.
    Hi,

    There is a very good reason for this. On the console, the controller doesn't use Bluetooth, it uses its own proprietary wireless connection. The original Xbox One controllers didn't have Bluetooth on release and could only be connected via a micro USB cable,
    the newer controllers have the BT feature, but still work with the original Xbox One (think Xbox One Fat 2013).

    It can't re-pair automatically because it has two types of wireless sync technologies built in. The only way I believe you can make the controller sync automatically would be via the Xbox One Gaming receiver for Windows 10. The receiver doesn't use Bluetooth.

    I hope that makes sense.

    That's interesting information, but it's still an issue.

    When I plug my phone into my PC, it doesn't forget the bluetooth pairing. Plugged in or not I can use the phone companion app just fine, and I don't have to re-pair it when I unplug it.

    When I pair a soundbar to my PC, it works just as well as when I unplug it and use it through bluetooth, and again no re-pairing needed.

    When I plug in my Sennheiser wireless headphones to charge it, it's still paired to my PC through bluetooth when I unplug it.

    For some unknown reason when you plug in an Xbox One controller, it or Windows 10 (or both) deletes or resets the bluetooth profile associated with it, which requires Windows 10 to pair with it again. It's the only device I know of that loses bluetooth pairing
    because you plugged it in. Having two different radio technologies is not an excuse. It would make sense if I was connecting the controller to the PC through bluetooth and then plugging it into an Xbox, but that isn't the case. I don't even have an Xbox anymore.

    The controller/Windows 10 has no real reason for clearing/resetting the bluetooth profile when plugging the controller in.

    My xbox elite series 2 core controller is not getting into Bluetooth pairing mode. What should I do?

    Please ensure you are following Xbox Support's steps to pair the controller: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/connect-xbox-wireless-controller-to-pc

    To pair an Xbox Wireless Controller to your PC via Bluetooth:

    Turn on your Xbox Wireless Controller by pressing the Xbox button.

    Press and hold the Pair button on your controller for three seconds (the Xbox button will start flashing rapidly).

    On your PC, press the Start button, then choose Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices (on Windows 11: Settings > Bluetooth & devices).

    Turn on Bluetooth. Select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth (on Windows 11: Add device). Your PC will begin searching for your controller.

    Select Xbox Elite Wireless Controller > Done.

    If it's still not going into pairing mode, try holding the Pair button for longer than 3 seconds.

    Thanks,
    Kyle
