    Cannot Sync Xbox 360 Controllers

    They are all different brands of wireless controllers. Microsoft to Amazon. NONE will connect. Yes the steps are followed perfectly and variants of the steps.

    Press the ON X button. Flashes in a circle. Press the Xbox Connect. It too flashes. Press the small controller sync. Flashes slow down. After less than 1 minute the Xbox stops flashing. Then the controller stops flashing.

    Only the one controller that came with it used connects. No other will. Even when I unpair, turn off, and reset the xbox. It will see NO controllers except the when I turn on the one it likes. One and that is it.

    These other controllers have NO issues with my PC or Xbox 1. Just the 360.

    Xbox One controller turn off when I press the bluetooth button (PC and Steam Link)

    Yes, I'm trying to connect my controller via Bluetooth on my Windows 10 PC (It worked before yesterday). When I connect my controller via USB Cable it works fine.

    The XBox Button flashing slowly when it's turn on. When I press the sync button to connect via Bluetooth, the XBox Button flashes for 1 second and the controller turn off.

    Xbox Controller Sync & Powering off from after pressing sync button five times....

    My sync button turns off my Xbox one X and won't connect any controllers.

    When controllers do connect they disconnect and flash.

    Had this problem since beginning of February.

    Hi TYLER M! I hope you are well, delighted to be able to offer you my help!

    I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Xbox controller, with the intention of helping and not knowing if you have followed these steps, I invite you to follow them:

    The first thing to do is turn the control off and on again. This step will remove any mismatched signals.

    1. Press and hold the Xbox button for 5 to 10 seconds to turn off the controller.
    2. Wait a few seconds, then press the Xbox button to turn it back on.

    If this does not work, let's go to the next step, it is possible that the problem with your control is the batteries, so you will have to replace them or if your control has rechargeable batteries, charge it.

    1. Tap the Xbox button on your controller. Navigate to the Start menu, then look for the battery icon in the top right corner.
    2. If the batteries are low, remove the back cover of your controller and replace the two AA batteries. If you have a rechargeable battery, connect your controller to a power source and charge it until it is at full power.

    As a last step you should update your controller software, many times this can cause compatibility and connection problems, so I think this may be the problem.

    1. Keep your controller connected to your console with a USB cable. Make sure the cable is not damaged and is firmly plugged in on both sides.
    2. Tap the Xbox button on your controller to open the Start menu.
    3. Go to Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories. Then select the driver you want to update.
    4. On the Xbox wireless controller screen, select "..." to check the firmware version.
    5. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions. If not, your driver is up to date.
    6. Let your controller sit for up to 5 minutes, as the update may take several minutes to complete.
