Checking battery

Step Two - Remove batteries.

Step Three - Put batteries into Xbox 360 Controller.

Step Four - Check batteries on Xbox 360.

Step Five - ???

Step Six - Profit.

 

Xbox one controller won't work at all

Hi there Thomasarus21,

I want to first verify the batteries you are using, brand, power, etc.

-I start here because this controller does not function off the same power as the xbox 360 controller. Also all batteries are not created to fully function on the xbox one controller. I assume you are using the batteries that come with the controller...but
just in case....

Here is something you've probably read but I thought to post it just in case :

AA Batteries -
support.xbox.com/.../using-aa-batteries

Rechargeable batteries -
support.xbox.com/.../wireless-controller-rechargeable-batteries

In short the resolution is to first buy two batteries per the support link (based on your preferences) but I'm not trying to discount that you may have, in some way purchased a bad controller two times.

 

Same issue here.....ridiculous.

 

What i did in one of my controllers that's using regular rechargeable batteries is I found some foam, and taped it to the back of the battery cover. it holds it all in place...i imagine many things could be substituted for the foam, but this makes it all
nice and snug. is this ridiculous, you BETCHA that we even have to do this. Now the optional "battery packs" fit snug and don't do this. Why would that be?, sure MS would love for us to all buy a rechargeable battery. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but
I digress as that's for another place and time.

 

I bent the metal contacts out a little bit more and so far so good - no disconnects since doing that.

 

Foam, bending clips... wow, complete head shaker isn't it.
