    Xbox 360 Controller Adapter for Windows


    I've been using the wireless adapter for Windows with a 360 controller on my PC for awhile now, but it seems to have died. Yesterday I unplugged it to clean my PC and this morning when I plugged it back into the same port it isn't coming on. No green light,
    no messages on the PC and it's not in Device Manager. I've tried it on several known working, powered USB ports and on 3 PCs. Basically, I'm confident the thing is dead. If anyone has any suggestion on possible fixes, I'd love to hear them. I've seen a lot
    of people pulling the thing apart and soldering across the F1 fuse, which apparently is very common for blowing. That seems dangerous to me, bypassing a fuse entirely is never a good idea.

    :)

    Wireless Adapter HELP

    No the 360 adapter is not compatible with the xbox one controller. But if you get the newer Xbox / Windows controller, it has built in bluetooth to connect to a windows computer without and adapter.

    Hello ,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately the Xbox wireless adapter is made solely for the Xbox one Controller. You can Find more info on the wireless adapter here :

    Sorry to hear that. :( I guess I just have to use both 360 and One Adapter simultaneously if it works.

    Can the X Box One Wireless Controller with Bluetooth also be used with the X Box One Wireless Adapter for Windows 10?

    Hi Beau,

    Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums, I'd be happy to answer that.

    The Xbox One Wireless controller with Bluetooth can be connected to a Windows 10 PC with a USB cable, Bluetooth, or with the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10, so yes, it can be connected via the adapter. The Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 is not
    compatible with an Xbox 360 controller and will need the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. I'll provide the support articles with this information:


    I hope this helps!

    Wireless adapter

    You must get the
    adapter specifically made     for Xbox 360 controllers.

    The Xbox Wireless Adapter you've bought is not backward compatible with 360 controllers.

    Here is one on Amazon, for example (they don't sell it on the Microsoft store anymore).

    Can I use my old Xbox 360 adapter with the new XboxOne controller?
    NO
