    Xbox one s controller connectivity problems


    Just bought a xbox one s, the controller have massive random connectivity issues.

    When playing it can randomly disconnect the controller. The light is still on and i have to remove the batteries and restart the controller to connect again. have tried every step suggested regarding connectivity issues without sucess. and it isnt anything
    interfering. (happening 30 cm from the console) i even tried a older model xbox one controller with the same placement and batteries and it works like a charm.

    I have updated the controller via usb also.

    Help much appreciated

    :)

    Xbox One Wireless Elite

    The Elite controller does not have Bluetooth connectivity. The "S" controller has Bluetooth.

    Are xbox one controllers the same as xbox one s controllers?

    You can use a regular Xbox One controller on an Xbox One S console, and you can use an Xbox One S controller on a regular Xbox One console.

    All controllers connect to the Xbox console the same way, via proprietary RF.

    If you are confused because of the addition of Bluetooth in the Xbox One S, just know that Bluetooth is only built into the Xbox One S controller (there is actually no bluetooth functionality in the Xbox One S console itself). The Bluetooth in the controller
    is just a secondary method of wireless connectivity designed solely for connecting the controller to a Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth (without the need of a
    USB adapter). It connects to the Xbox One/One S the same way as the original controllers do.

    Does the Xbox One S console have Bluetooth Capability? I.E Bluetooth Headsets

    There is no Bluetooth radio component in the Xbox One S console itself.

    The controllers connect to the Xbox One S the same way the controllers connect to the original Xbox One: proprietary RF. You could technically connect an Xbox One S controller to an original Xbox One, and an original Xbox controller to the Xbox One S.

    The Bluetooth functionality in the new Xbox One S controller is specifically made for connecting the controller to a Windows 10 PC with the "Anniversary" update, which has the drivers needed for the controller when connected via Bluetooth.

    Can I use an Xbox One S controller on the Xbox One?

    Yes, absolutely.

    In case there's confusion, the Bluetooth part in the controller is only for connecting it to a Windows PC. Bluetooth is not used on the Xbox One S, as the console does not actually have a Bluetooth chip.

    The Xbox One S controller still connects to the console with the same wireless protocol as any standard Xbox One controller.

    It even works vice versa! You can also connect a regular Xbox One controller to an Xbox One S.

    Controller sync issues- need help

    Hi there,

    Sorry to hear you are having this problem.

    Have you tried connecting the controller with a USB cable?

    If you have a micro-USB cable or the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit, you can connect your controller by using the micro-USB cable and do without batteries.

    Restarting your console and controller might correct the connection issue.

    Yes, all Xbox One controllers work with all of the Xbox One consoles (Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One All Digital Edition, Xbox One X)
