Switching Series X Controller between Xbox and PC

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.

In this case, kindly re-sync the controller and the Xbox Wireless Adapter by pressing and holding the Xbox sync button on the other hand Press and holding the Pair button on the Xbox Wireless Adapter. This should do the trick.

Looking at the guide it says thus:

"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 or a PC using Xbox Wireless. 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 Wireless connection it was paired to. Then, to switch back to the paired Bluetooth device, press and hold the Pair button to start pairing mode".

This only works between a the controller paired to a PC with Bluetooth or another PC or Xbox paired via the proprietary 'Xbox Wireless' protocol. So, if you're using an Xbox Adaptor on your laptop and also own an Xbox you can only pair it to one of them. If you want to quickly swap between console and PC you'll have to use Bluetooth on the PC.

It's the same issue you'd get if you owned two consoles, you can only pair a controller to one console.

You're correct that this is a feature for the Xbox Series X controller. Basically, your secondary device is the PC which you just need to press and hold the sync button for around two seconds.

Yes, to re-sync it to your Xbox simply double-tap the sync button.

Make sure to perform a powercycle on your Xbox if double-tapping didn't work.

POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

​​​

1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

So,

I have connected my Series X controller to my PC and Xbox.

I want to be able to switch between the two, without having to touch my PC or Xbox each time, and put the controller into pairing mode. I found this feature mentioned over several websites:

“Once you’re successfully paired, switching between your devices is easy. To get back to your Xbox, double-tap the sync button. To use a secondary device, press and hold the sync button for around two seconds. The Xbox button will blink once or twice before turning solid to indicate that you are paired.”

So, if I’m connected to my PC, can I only go back to my Xbox by double tapping the sync button?

Because double tapping the sync button does nothing right now.

How is it going?

I would also appreciate it if you can provide additional steps that you have performed.
