    Xbox controllers for windows 10

    The Bluetooth controllers don't come with an adaptor, is has Bluetooth built in. The device it connects to need to have Bluetooth to work, if your PC doesn't then you need to get a Bluetooth adapter for the PC.

    The wireless part of the controller works on a unique frequency only for the xbox controllers, so it won't work with WiFi, so for your PC to use the Xbox Wireless part, you would need the Xbox Wireless Adapter.

    Xbox One Controller Not Connecting To Wireless Adapter For PC

    Hello!

    The controller won't bind to the adapter

    If the binding instructions are not working, try the following solutions:

    • Ensure you're within range (6 meters or less) of the adapter and it's in line of sight to the controller.
    • If you have an Xbox controller, try rebinding your controller to the console by pressing the Connect button on the console, and then the Connect button on the controller. The LEDs will flash and become solid when the binding is successful. If your controller
      does bind, you have isolated the issue to the Wireless Adapter for Windows. If your controller does not bind to your console, see Set
      up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows      .
    • Unplug your adapter, reboot your device, and then plug it back in (to another port if possible), and try again.

    Use headphones with Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller on win 11

    Because Xbox controllers use a proprietary wireless technology known as Xbox Wireless. As such you can't use any adapter to connect the controller, it has to be the Xbox Wireless adapter specifically.

    Xbox 360 controller not working on PC

    You need the wireless adapter. It won't connect via the charge cable.

    My controller keeps disconnecting mid game

    Is this an Xbox One controller, or an Xbox 360 controller? If it's an Xbox One controller, are you connecting wirelessly to the PC via Bluetooth, or with the Xbox Wireless Adapter?
