Xbox 360 Controller Won't Connect?

Hi! I want to play a game on my pc with a controller. I plugged in an xbox 360 controller and my computer made a noise. I held the xbox symbol and the light started flashing. It won't stop flashing and doesn't work when I try to use it. I tried switching
controllers to a different 360 controller, but the same thing happened. I also tried to download a driver for Windows 7 and that didn't help. I'm out of ideas?

Thanks!

:)

You are talking about the Xbox One controller, right? The Xbox 360 wireless controller won't work even if using a USB cable.

 

Hi there,

just to be sure are you using a wired controller or are you using a wireless controller with play and charge cable.

If you are using a wireless controller (even with play and charge cable) then you will need to use the wireless receiver in order to connect a wireless 360 controller to a PC, see this link for the details: Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows

If it's a standard wired 360 controller (or you own a wireless receiver) please see this link for the steps you can try:
