Recommendations for a good controller to use with my laptop for gaming

Ho Johnson I'm Luis a Xbox user just like you. Thanks for reaching out us here. I would really recommend the regular Xbox controller since most games have the Xbox layout well incorporated and has (even though it's minimal) the least input delay among all other controllers

Hi,

With the laptop plugged into the mains supply (which is recommended for playing PC games on laptops), change the laptop power settings to 'High performance' in Control Panel and then try running your games again.

Also, could you provide us with the spec of your laptop?

Let us know how you get on.

Sorry but you said that you have to plug it on your laptop and then that you don't have to plug it on your laptop and phone, so I understand that are 2 different laptops

No.

You're misunderstanding me.

I am using a laptop to play games.

I bought an xbox series controller.

It's connected to my laptop but games are not reading the controller. Meaning the light on the controller is solid and the controller shows as connected in Bluetooth but I can't play games because the controller is unresponsive but only when in a wireless state but functions well in a wired state.

The problem persists on another laptop BUT NOT on my mobile devices.

PLEASE HELP!

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good evening

Try reconnecting the controller to your laptop. Make sure your laptop's Bluetooth is turned on and then press and hold the pair button on the controller until the Xbox logo starts flashing. This should initiate the pairing process with your laptop.

Check if the controller has the latest firmware update. The latest firmware can improve compatibility and fix any bugs that might be causing this issue.

Try using a different input method. Instead of using Bluetooth, you can use a USB cable to connect the controller directly to your laptop. This can help rule out any Bluetooth connectivity issues.

Uninstall and reinstall the controller driver on your laptop. Go to Device Manager, locate the controller, right-click on it, and select Uninstall. Restart your laptop and then try connecting the controller again.

Make sure the games you're trying to play with the controller are fully compatible with Xbox One controllers. Some games may require additional configuration in order to properly support Xbox One controllers.

Try with a different controller, to confirm if the issue is with the controller or the laptop.

It will work if your have a PC/Laptop running Windows 10. It's not going to work on another TV.

Plug in a controller using the Plug and Play USB wire to the PC/Laptop and you're good.
