    Why won't my Elite 2 controller Connect to Xbox One?


    Hi.

    I recently bought an Xbox Elite 2 controller. It was purchased new.

    It connects to my PC, but won't connect to the Xbox One in the house. Sometimes it connects and I can make 2 clicks before it is not functioning. I have tried power cycling the controller, turning the Xbox off and on. Connecting via provided USB-C cable. Sometimes the rumble registers but buttons are not usable. It says my controller needs an update but doesn't allow me to update the controller. And the controller does not show up on the connected devices in the System Preferences.

    Please send help or advise if I should return and repurchase.

    Thanks

    :)

    Multiple Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Issues - PC Bluetooth Mode

    After, this problem, I took the controller back to the sho and purchased the elite 2 controller and still have the same problems.

    I have a PC my Son has an Xbox.

    Are you suggesting that I connect to that first then disconnect then try on the PC.

    Can I ask why you don't just update Xbox accessories so it puts everything right.

    I will try what you have suggested but I can't understand why a massive company like yours won't put things right correctly.

    I've also noticed it connects as the 360 controller in the drivers section and won't find any other drivers.

    Also I can't seem to update the elite controller 2 on Xbox ACCESSORIES.

    Xbox Elite wireless controller series 2 bluetooth problem!

    Hi,

    I try to connect my Xbox Elite wireless controller series 2 via bluetooth on my Ipad Pro 11 inch 2018, but it can't make connection or won't be recognized. The series 2 controller supports bluetooth. I can make connection with the other older version Xbox
    One S wireless controller immediately.

    I'd make a phone call with Apple support and they said that maybe the problem could be that the Xbox Elite controller series 2 won't be supported and isn't compatible with Ipad.

    I want to know guys if you had the same problem and I want to ask if there will be an update in the future to solve this problem?
    At the moment the series 2 elite controller is not compatible with Iphones/Ipads. At the moment the only device that the series 2 controller is available on IOS side is the Mac and even that it's janky. Series 2 controller works fine on Android at the moment.
    Sorry if this doesn't help you, I myself is waiting for the Bluetooth proprietary to be added to the IOS list

    Why won't my Elite 2 controller Connect to Xbox One?

    Hey there!

    Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this on your Xbox Elite series 2 controller. No worries, let me help you sort this out.

    Based on your description and since you are able to connect your controller to your Windows PC, we will need to isolate the case further if the issue is due to the controller's firmware or the console's software.

    Try to update your controller's firmware using your Windows PC. Here's how:

    Update your controller on Windows 10/11 by using the Xbox Accessories app:

    If you don’t already have the app installed, get it in the Store:

    https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/9NBLGGH...

    Open the Xbox Accessories app.

    Connect your Xbox Wireless Controller by using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.

    When the controller is connected, you'll see the message Update Required if an update is mandatory. Install the update.

    Things to keep in mind:

    The Xbox Accessories app is available only on Windows 10/11.

    Updating the controller over Bluetooth is not supported.

    If the issue on connecting your controller to your console still persists after the firmware update, try to perform a factory reset keep my games and apps on your console:

    NOTE: You can use a different controller or keyboard to navigate through the factory reset keep my games and apps if the Xbox Elite series 2 controller doesn't work.

    Before you proceed with your Factory reset I just want to inform you that you will only choose Reset and keep my games and apps to make sure your saved data won't be deleted permanently and also all of the accounts that are set as home Xbox will be removed and all signed in accounts will be signed out from the console.

    To reset your console without losing your game data, follow these steps:​​​​​

    NOTE: This will remove the profiles on your console, make sure that you remember the email and password to your account.

    No data or game saves will be lost doing this, everything is backed up to the cloud servers.

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    2. Select Settings.

    3. Select System.

    4. Select Console info

    5. Select Reset console.

    6. Select Reset and keep my games & apps

    This will also help sync the data on your console properly.

    Please take your time and let me know if it works.

    Why did you buy an Xbox elite controller 2

    It breaks easily why not buy a regular Xbox one controller if you are just to play games

    Xbox Elite wireless controller series 2 bluetooth problem!

    Is there a difference between the Bluetooth on the Elite and the one on the regular Xbox one controllers. My other controllers connect without an issue, but not the Elite.
