  1. Wireless Xbox 360 not working


    Hi, there.

    I recently bought a wireless Xbox 360 wireless control to use with my desktop PC. I also bouth a kit with the rechrgeable battery and USB cable. Windows 10 Device Manager was unable to automatically download the derivers, so I did it manually. Device Manager
    says it's installed and working properly, it also appears under Bluetooth devices, but it doesn't actually work. It keeps flashing all fou green lights around the X button and won't do nothing else. I've spent hours searching for a fix on Microsoft support
    forums, as well as many other reputable sites, like Tom's Hardware and acomplished nothing. Can you, please, help?

    Thank you very much in advance,

    Claudio.

    :)

    Was it the official Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller? For the Xbox 360 wireless controller, an adapter is required. For Xbox One, the original Xbox One controller will only work when wired. For the One S controller, you can connect it via bluetooth.

    is there a way to make the tritton warhead headset to work with chat yet?

    That's the wireless headset, right? The wireless chat will not be compatible; the protocol is different between the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One. No 360 wireless accessories will work with the One.

    Wireless Xbox 360 not working

    To help eliminate any possible hardware issues, try to use the controller on an Xbox 360 console.

    If you still experience the problem, contact Xbox Support.

    Hi!

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble with connecting your Xbox 360 controller to the PC. I have one I use with mine and I love it! In order for the Wireless Xbox 360 controller to work with your PC, it needs a wireless receiver. They are less than $10
    and it is what allows the Xbox 360 controller to sync. The four flashing lights you are seeing on the controller is it looking for the receiver to connect with.

    Here is a picture of one.

    Compatibilidade entre Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Receiver 2.1 e Controle Xbox 360 sem fio

    Hi,

    The Wireless Optical receiver doesn't work with the Xbox 360 controller. The 360 uses it's own type of wireless protocol. To connect the controller you'll need a Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver.

    xbox 360 controller not working on PC

    Is the controller a wireless controller or wired? If it is wireless, how are you connecting it? If by using the play & charge kit, then the Xbox 360 controller will not work, as the cable is only recognized on PC for charging only. You need to use a Xbox
    360 Wireless adapter for PC to connect a wireless Xbox 360 controller to your PC.

    Does anyone have the xbox 360 controller drivers??

    Did your controller ever work before, or are you just trying to get it to work now?

    The drivers for the Xbox 360 are not available for download independently anymore, and there is no reason for them to be, as Xbox 360 controllers have been natively supported by Windows since Windows Vista. The drivers can't be downloaded because they are already part of the Windows Operating System.

    Is your controller wired or wireless?

    Unlike Xbox One or Series X|S controllers, Xbox 360 wireless controllers are always wireless. If you've attempted to connect a Wireless Xbox 360 controller to your laptop with the Play and Charge cable, it won't work. This is because the Play and Charge does not send data. It will just flash. Xbox 360 wireless controllers need an Xbox 360 gaming receiver.

    Only Xbox One or newer Series X|S controllers can be both wired and wireless.
