    How to Sync a Wireless Controller

    The following guide will help you connect any extra controllers purchased to your console. Please note the controller that came with your Xbox One is already synced. Conveniently there are now three different ways to sync a controller, which are:

    • Using the console’s connect button
    • Using Kinect
    • Using a USB to micro-USB cable.

    Method One: Connect Button​

    Let’s start with the first and most important step, install batteries into the controller. Next, turn on the controller by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the controller.

    If the controller is not synced then you will see the light on the Xbox button will pulsate, if it is already synced then it will display a solid light.

    Next press the sync button on your console; it is located on the left side of the console, right next to the disc drive.

    Immediately afterwards press the sync button on the controller. It is a small round button on the top of the controller, near the mini usb port.

    Once the controller syncs with the console the light on the controller will flash a few times before switching to a solid state.


    Method Two: Kinect ​

    First lets make sure the console and controller are both powered on.

    Press the sync button on the top of the controller and wait for the light on the controller to pulse. Aim the controller towards the Kinect and make sure the LEDs on the controller ARE FLASHING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE KINECT.

    Once the Xbox light on the controller stops pulsating and goes solid, your controller has successfully been synced with your console.


    Method Three: USB Cable​

    Using a micro usb connection or the play & charge kit, connect the controller to the console. This will automatically sync the controller (note the console must be powered on first.). This will also turn your wirelesses controller into a wired controller, meaning no battery would be necessary.

    Can someone help me re sync my controllers ?

    Sync the Controller:
    To sync a wireless controller with your Xbox, follow these steps:

    Press the Xbox button on the controller to turn it on.
    Press and hold the small sync button on the front of the Xbox Series X console (located near the USB port).
    While holding the sync button on the console, press and hold the sync button on the controller (located on the top near the Xbox button).
    Release both sync buttons when the controller's Xbox button starts flashing. The controller should now be synced with the console.

    controller sync

    Hello rockingalan,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We need a little more information to ensure that we provide the correct solution. Are you using a Xbox One or Xbox 360? Do any other controllers sync to the console correctly? Does the controller sync to the
    console with a USB cable? If you are using a Xbox One, we have a support article on our website which provides solutions for a

    controller not syncing     to the console. Also, you can try
    power cycling     the console by holding down the power button on the console for ten seconds. Be sure to let us know the results!

    Xbox one console not connecting to controllers!

    connect the controller to the console with a USB cable, turn controller on hit the sync button. The controller should sync to the console and you can then disconnect the USB cable. If it doesn't work on one USB port try a different one.

    My controller isn't syncing even with new batteries

    Have you tried syncing it using a USB cable? If it won't sync that way either, does it work wired?

    Do you have a friend with an Xbox One/Series console? If so, try your controller on their console and their controller on your console. That will narrow the issue down so you know if it's the controller or console that's at fault.
