    Hello Braden S! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

    You are unable to pair a Xbox 360 controller to an Android phone as the 360 does not use bluetooth but their own wireless protocol. You would need a wired Xbox 360 controller to connect to phone.

    You need an Xbox one/series controller

    to use with Bluetooth

    Xbox Controller

    My Xbox Wireless Controller won't connect to my Bluetooth at all but it connects by USB to my computer, it also flashes when I click the pairing button and my Bluetooth is turned on, whenever I go to the pair devices and try to pair the Xbox controller
    it doesn't show up. Is there a way I can reset the controller without the console?
    Its suppose to flash when pairing also what are you trying to pair it to

    Pairing controller with phone

    Try turning the phone off and on again, look at the devices to pair again.

    Pairing controller with phone

    Do you have the Bluetooth controller? It's designed different from the original Xbox One controllers.
