    Xbox One S controller won't connect to Windows 10 Via Bluetooth & Just Shows Up As "input" On ...


    My Xbox One S controller won't connect to my Windows 10 PC anymore via bluetooth. When searching for devices, it just shows up as "input" with a controller icon but it used to show up as "Xbox Wireless Controller" before. Everything is up-to-date including
    controller firmware & bluetooth drivers. I have also restarted my PC many times. I have also tried adding it via control panel with no luck.

    :)

    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.

    Xbox One S controller won't connect to Windows 10 Via Bluetooth & Just Shows Up As "input" On ...

    From what I recall when I had to re-sync my controller with Windows 10, it didn't work with the Everything Else option.

    Right click on the Windows flag in the lower left on your PC and choose Settings

    Click on Devices and click Add Bluetooth or other device

    I believe this was the area where I couldn't get my controller to sync using the Controller option. I believe I had to use the Bluetooth option instead

    Xbox One Controller Won't Connect via Bluetooth to PC

    Hi I'm using the new bluetooth model Xbox One controller but it won't connect via Bluetooth to my PC. It was working for me for quite a while and one day it lost sync, when I tried to resync it showed up as just "Input" instead of Xbox One controller
    like it had before. It's done the same thing with my other Xbox One bluetooth controller

    Will PS3 Bluetooth Headset work with Xbox One?

    The Xbox One console doesn't support Bluetooth. That headset won't work with the Xbox One in any way.

    The new Xbox One controllers (the ones that come with the Xbox One S) have Bluetooth, but that's only used to connect the controller to a Windows 10 PC through Bluetooth.
