Hi,

What battery are you referring to? Are they actually re-chargeable?

The Xbox One controller should work on a PC while wired with or without a battery. If no battery is present, the USB port itself will power the controller.

As for ports, it won't matter what port you use. While there are indeed different types of USB ports, the Xbox One controller will work on any USB A port as it only needs USB 2.0 which have been standard for over 15 years now. All USB ports are backwards
compatible with previous versions.

There could be an issue with your controller cable. Have you tried a different one? For the controller to function when wired the cable must be able to send and receive data. Any USB to Micro USB cable rated as a 'Sync and charge' will work with the Xbox
One controller. Other than that the port on the controller could be damaged.

Hey there .

Have you tried plugging the controllers into different USB ports on your Xbox 360 S to see if there is any change in connection? They shouldn't both be connecting to Play 1, be sure they're signed into different profiles when connecting to Xbox Live.

Yes I tried various ports and I also tried to connect in various orders such as Player 1 (P1) - Wired Xbox 360 Controller for Windows and Signed In, P2 = Wireless Xbox 360 Controller and Signed In but when connecting the third one for P3 - Wired Xbox 360
Controller for Windows it assigns as P1 and takes control away from the first assigned controller.

Thanks for the Reply

Here are some steps you can try to get your Xbox Series X controller to work on your Windows 10 desktop PC:

Check for updates: Make sure your Windows 10 operating system is up-to-date. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any updates that may be available.

Install Xbox Accessories app: Make sure you have the Xbox Accessories app installed on your PC. You can download it from the Microsoft Store.

Connect your controller via USB: Connect your Xbox Series X controller to your PC using a USB cable. Make sure the cable is properly connected to both the controller and the PC.

Try a different USB port: Try connecting the controller to a different USB port on your PC. Sometimes, certain USB ports may not work properly.

Check Device Manager: Open Device Manager on your PC and check if the controller is detected. To do this, right-click on the Start menu and select Device Manager. Look for any unknown devices or controllers with a yellow triangle icon. If you see any, right-click on them and select Update Driver.

Reset the controller: Try resetting your controller by pressing the small button on the back of the controller near the USB port. Hold it for a few seconds and then release it.

Try a different cable: If you have a different USB cable, try using it to connect your controller to your PC.

If none of these steps work, it's possible that your PC may not be compatible with the Xbox Series X controller. You may need to consider purchasing a different controller or upgrading your PC.

Follow these steps to install your Xbox 360 wired controller on Windows 10:

1. Plug the Xbox 360 controller into any USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on the computer.
