    Series S|X controller forgetting Bluetooth pairing after charging on dock


    I recently bought a twin charge dock to be able to charge my controller for the convenience of not having to buy batteries.I have discovered within the past two days though that it unpairs it’s self from my xbox series s everytime it is plugged in and refuses to pair until I pair it manually. It only does it if the rechargeable battery packs are in though as if it isn’t pairing after I take it off the charging dock and put batteries in, it pairs instantly without the need of me having to pair it to the Xbox manually.

    :)

    Series S|X controller forgetting Bluetooth pairing after charging on dock

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    The Xbox Wireless Controller that comes with Xbox Series X|S includes a feature that allows for quickly switching between a paired Bluetooth device and an Xbox console. If the controller is connected to a Bluetooth device, double-press the Pair button, and the controller will immediately switch its connection to the last Xbox console it was paired to.

    Xbox One Controller keeps rapidly connecting and disconnecting on windows 11

    i just had the same (or very similar) issue with an series x/s controller, what fixed it for me was to forget the controller from my paired bluetooth devices and re-pair it.

    hope this helps

    Xbox Elite 2 - Windows 10 - Won't connect after using USB cable

    I'm running into this issue too. I can pair my series 2 controller with my PC via bluetooth and it works fine. However, as soon as I use the usb cable and plug it into my PC, like if I wanted to charge it while playing, it works fine. Unfortunately if I
    then unplug from the USB cable, the controller no longer pairs via Bluetooth. I have to forget the device in Windows bluetooth settings, then re-pair it like it's the first time I've ever done it.

    It's like by connecting via USB resets the controllers memory of connecting via bluetooth or something. Quite annoying.

    I also agree, we should be able to configure the controller wirelessly somehow. Whether it be via some new dongle thing or preferably via bluetooth.

    So how do you switch your elite controller back and forth from different devices to windows 10?

    Hi ViperMagma, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    The Xbox Wireless Controller that comes with Xbox Series X|S includes a feature that allows for quickly switching between a paired Bluetooth device and an Xbox console. If the controller is connected to a Bluetooth device, double-press the Pair button, and the controller will immediately switch its connection to the last Xbox console it was paired to. Then, to switch back to the paired Bluetooth device, press and hold the Pair button to start pairing mode. The controller will automatically connect to the Bluetooth device you were just using while it also searches for new devices – just in case you want to connect a different Bluetooth device or Xbox. If it doesn’t find a new device nearby in pairing mode, it will remain connected to the previous Bluetooth device.

    As of the moment, the said feature is not yet available on Xbox Elite Series 2. But what I always do is make sure that when you turn on your devices such as PC or Laptop, the Bluetooth is turned off then turn the controller on first before turning on the Bluetooth for it to automatically reconnect.
