X360 Wireless Controller not working

I have Minecraft on Windows 10 (Win 10 Edition) and recently I bought a XBOX 360 wireless controller. I have the receiver as well. The controller works on every game I tryed, but not on Minecraft. Nothing that I've seen does the trick. Please help!

Are all Xbox One Controllers going to be Wireless?

Yes, but also no.

Every Xbox One controller is wireless. However, when you plug it in via USB it becomes wired and sends the signal via wire instead of wireless (while also charging batteries, if you are using the charge-pack - or in the case of your question, it's using the power via cable instead of the batteries).

This is in contrast to how Xbox 360 controllers work. X360 has both wireless and wired. An X360 wireless controller when plugged in via USB is still sending the signal wireless, but is getting power via the USB. This is why you can't plug an Xbox 360 wireless controller via USB into your computer and have it work, because the controller is still sending a wireless signal.

This makes the Xbox One controllers great for both Xbox One and PC gaming, because you don't need to buy a 'wired' controller for it to work on the PC, you can just plug it in via USB and it'll send the signal via USB instead. I'm really glad Microsoft did this.

 

Wireless chat frequency

1st - my understanding is the connector between the headset and the controller are different. x360 is a 3.5mm plug type and the X1 has a micro USB.

2nd - the wireless portion aka Frequency is handled by the wireless transmitter of the headset maker, and has nothing to do with the x360 as the only thing that is wireless is the controller which carries the chat channel

as far as the x1 goes I'm not sure if they have integrated the chat, in game sound and controller all on the same controller frequency and that is the reason for the plug change on the headset to controller or what.

I have read rumor that MS and possibly TB are working on an adapter that will allow x360 headsets to work with the x1. But I don't have any verifiable proof of that.

 

Does minecraft even support a 360 controller?

 

Well, it should. I heard people aren't having issues with playing Minecraft with a 360 controller.
