    Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver not working.


    Hello, I just got a brand new computer just a day ago now and I wanted to hook up my xbox 360 wireless receiver so that I can use my controller for games.

    I have OS build: 19041.450

    Any other system build info that you need just let me know and I will give that.

    Everytime that I right click on the unknown device and go through the steps that I would normally do for installing the drivers for it it stays on unknown device and does not go to xbox 360 label.

    :)

    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.

    This can work, if you have the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver.

    WIreless Xbox 360 controller won't connect to Windows 10 PC

    If this is an Xbox 360 controller I believe you might need a specific Wireless Gaming Receiver. I bought one years ago and it worked well.

    wireless xbox 360 controller on win10 without reciever

    and what does the connect button do on controller?
    The connect button starts the pairing process with a Xbox 360 console or the Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows.

    The Xbox 360 controller uses a proprietary wireless protocol, and NOT Bluetooth. So the standard wireless devices in your computer can't work with the Xbox 360 wireless controller.

    You absolutely definitely need the Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows if you wish to use your Xbox 360 controller on your PC.

    Make sure you do NOT get the Wireless Gaming Receiver for Xbox One controllers, as they won't work with Xbox 360 controllers.

    Also if you try to use a Play & Charge USB cable on your Xbox 360 controller, this will also not work, as the Play & Charge cable ONLY carries power, but does NOT transmit controller data.

    So if you don't want to buy a wireless receiver, your only options are to buy a dedicated wired Xbox 360 controller (that has a non-removable USB cord attached), or get a Xbox One controller with Bluetooth functionality.
