Unable to use multiple XBox 360 controllers while streaming

LausDomini · Jun 28, 2017

I have two XBox 360 wired controllers plugged into two USB ports on my Windows 10 desktop. The controllers work, and I can, for instance, open up Fallout Shelter and navigate around with either controller.

The problem starts when I stream to my XBox One. Suddenly only one controller accepts input. Either controller works in either USB port if it is the only one connected, but with both controllers plugged in, input is only accepted from one of the controllers.

I am trying to play a 4-player game with my two XBox One controllers and two XBox 360 controllers. But for whatever reason I am maxed out at 3 players only since something is blocking the second XBox 360 controller.

Xbox One controller/Compatibility.

Nope, the Xbox 360 controllers won't work with the Xbox One. The Xbox 360 controllers use IR to connect to the console, whilst the Xbox One uses WiFi direct (way faster than IR).

Xbox App doesn't detect my xbox 360 controller

Hey DutchGamersLars! Game streaming through the Xbox App currently only supports Xbox One controllers. Do you recall where you read about the Xbox 360 controllers compatibility with the Xbox App?

Take a look at this: Xbox app streaming not (any longer) supports two controllers ?

It has been an issue since May 21th, the last Xbox ONE system update.

Okay thank you very much, I have one small question when it comes to streaming. If i were to stream an Xbox 360 game from an Xbox One to my Windows PC, would I be able to control that streamed game with my mouse and keyboard as opposed to a controller while
on my Windows PC playing the streamed game?

No, only controller. You can't use mouse and keyboard in this fashion for any games over xbox one streaming.

use the xbox app and you can stream your game from xbox 1 to your laptop screen while still controlling with your controller
