Razer Thresher Headset (Xbox One) Not Pairing With PC

cjw112 · Jan 14, 2022

I received the headset recently and purchased an Xbox Wireless USB Adapter in order to use it. I've already checked to make sure that all my drivers are up to date.

I plug in my Xbox Wireless USB Adapter into the USB port and push and hold the pairing button. I then push the power button on the headset until the light turns on. The Razer logo on the earmuffs blink slowly and never go into pairing mode. There is no indicator light on the Xbox Wireless USB Adapter, so I can't tell if it's actually in pairing mode or not. I've tried several sequences of button pushing to try and get it to work, but nothing has.

I also tried to get the headset connected by finding it and the adapter on the PC. The adapter is listed as Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows in Settings> Bluetooth & devices> Devices under Other devices. I've tried selecting Add device and then Bluetooth, but the headset doesn't show up on that list.

I've tried everything I can think of to try and searching the web isn't helping, so hopefully someone here can figure out what might be happening.

I'm not sure if I should be directing this towards Microsoft or Razer, but the instructions for the headset say that I'll need to use the Xbox Wireless Adapter sold separately to pair the headset to the PC.

Is this information wrong? Am I reading the instructions wrong?

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello cjw, according to my searches the the wireless adapter is not a Bluetooth dongle, it uses Microsoft’s proprietary wireless protocol for the gamepads just like the Xbox devices.

Hello again see if you can't pair your headset with a PC that has native Bluetooth, and also if possible with or normal external Bluetooth adapter other than Microsoft.
