    Will an Xbox One S controller work via bluetooth, and via the Play & Charge kit on Windows 10?


    I have a new PC with ASUS Z370-E motherboard, which supports bluetooth, which I've verified to be working in the latest Windows 10 update.

    The Xbox One S controller should be supported via bluetooth on the latest Windows 10 version. What I would like to know is, will it also work through the Play & Charge kit? e.g. can I use the controller via bluetooth, and when the battery runs out, continue
    to use it via the cable while it charges, and after that switch back to bluetooth?

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    XBOX Chatpad - Windows 10

    I can connect my Xbox One S Controller to my Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth, but it will only show in the Xbox Accessories app if I connect it via USB.

    Also, the Chatpad will only turn on if I plug the controller in via USB. If the controller is connected via bluetooth, the chapped will not work, and the lights will not come on. So I'm assuming it's not turned on at all.

    Is there a way to get the chapped to work over bluetooth with Windows 10?

    Also, when plugging in headphones, sound will only come out of the left ear. How do I get stereo sound?

  3. 360 Controller on PC - is Xbox for Windows program required??

    I'm trying to use a wireless Xbox controller connected via Play & Charge kit to play Darksiders II on Steam. Win10 auto installed the drivers for it when plugging it in, but the controller lights merely blink in unison. I restarted after installing the drivers,
    and tried every USB port (2.0 and 3.0). Device Manager lists it as "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play & Charge Kit" under "Xbox 360 Peripherals". Troubleshooting via Windows tells me it's an older device and needs to be plugged into a USB 2.0 port, but
    it is plugged into one. Must I install the Xbox for Windows program for it to work? If not, what else can I do?

    Play & Charge Kit

    Yes it will. You can connect the controller to your PC via WiFi or Bluetooth and can connect via your plug and charge kit to charge the batteries while you're playing.

    But for playing on PC you don't even need the play and charge kit, you can just connect your controller via micro USB cable to your PC even if your batteries are drained as while connected via USB it wont use batteries.

    How to Connect xbox 360 controller to pc with play & charge kit

    Hi,

    In short, you can't. Unlike Xbox One or Series X|S controllers, the 360 wireless controllers are always wireless. The Play & Charge kit simply charges the battery, it does not send data.

    The only way to use an 360 wireless controller on a PC is via an Xbox 360 gaming receiver for Windows.

    Are xbox one controllers the same as xbox one s controllers?

    You can use a regular Xbox One controller on an Xbox One S console, and you can use an Xbox One S controller on a regular Xbox One console.

    All controllers connect to the Xbox console the same way, via proprietary RF.

    If you are confused because of the addition of Bluetooth in the Xbox One S, just know that Bluetooth is only built into the Xbox One S controller (there is actually no bluetooth functionality in the Xbox One S console itself). The Bluetooth in the controller
    is just a secondary method of wireless connectivity designed solely for connecting the controller to a Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth (without the need of a
    USB adapter). It connects to the Xbox One/One S the same way as the original controllers do.

    XBOX360 drivers

    As schnurren already mentioned, the Play & Charge kit only provides power to the controller. No actual input data is transmitted via the Play & Charge cable.

    You will need the
    Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver
    , and Windows 10 will automatically download the necessary drivers from Windows Update.

    DO NOT confuse the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Reciever with the newer Xbox One Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows 10!! The black USB plug receiver that looks like a big USB flash drive won't work with the Xbox 360 controller. You will need the slightly
    oval shaped Wireless Gaming Receiver that connects to an USB port via cable.

    Alternatively, instead of
    buying that Wireless Gaming Receiver
    , you could as well
    buy a Xbox One controller
    from that money, and connect that controller with a standard Micro USB cable or via Bluetooth (if supported by your PC).

    Does the Xbox One S console have Bluetooth Capability? I.E Bluetooth Headsets

    There is no Bluetooth radio component in the Xbox One S console itself.

    The controllers connect to the Xbox One S the same way the controllers connect to the original Xbox One: proprietary RF. You could technically connect an Xbox One S controller to an original Xbox One, and an original Xbox controller to the Xbox One S.

    The Bluetooth functionality in the new Xbox One S controller is specifically made for connecting the controller to a Windows 10 PC with the "Anniversary" update, which has the drivers needed for the controller when connected via Bluetooth.
