    Xbox One S Wireless Controller not working properly when connected via Bluetooth


    Hello,

    as I've posted in the title I've got some issues when I try to connect my Controller to my PC via Bluetooth. I know the controller works perfectly since I've connected it to my Laptop before and everything went fine. The only difference now is that I use
    a Bluetooth Dongle for my other PC (which is compatible with the Controller). The Dongle also works perfectly since I can connect any Bluetooth device to it (including the Controller).

    The problem now is that when I connect the Controller to my PC without a cable (wired it works fine), the Xbox logo light is static, my PC shows me that it's connected to the Controller (it's not shown in the device manager tho, only when connected via cable),
    but in some games the buttons don't work properly, in some it doesn't even recognize the controller. For example in Ghost Recon Wildlands the left joy-stick-button works as the "A"-button. Or "B" works as the upper D-pad-button. Some buttons like "LT" or "LR"
    don't work at all. In Far Cry Primal the controller doesn't work at all when not wired to the PC. I'm 100% sure it's not the game settings, I've checked that already.

    When the Controller is connected via Bluetooth the Xbox Accessoires App doesn't recognize it (which it should since that worked on my Laptop). I connected it via cable to see if there's any Updates but that also isn't the case. And I don't know if that anyhow
    matters, but when I click on "Vibration" in the Accessoires App, nothing happens. If I try and choose it with the controller, it works and then also works with the mouse afterwards, really weird.

    I believe the issue is that when connected via Bluetooth, it doesn't automatically adapt the controller (with that notification in the right bottom corner) which it did the first time after I connected it with a cable.

    The Xbox-Support couldn't help me so far, does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I would really appreciate any help. Many thanks in advance.

    :)

    Was it the official Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller? For the Xbox 360 wireless controller, an adapter is required. For Xbox One, the original Xbox One controller will only work when wired. For the One S controller, you can connect it via bluetooth.

    How to use Xbox Elite Series 2 audio jack while wirelessly connected to Win 10 PC?

    Hi,

    The 3.5mm headphone jack on Xbox One/Series X|S controllers (including Elite controllers) does not work when connected via Bluetooth. It will only work via USB or the official Xbox wireless adaptor.

    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.

    Adaptador Windows para controle Xbox Series S/X

    Hello,

    There isn't a specific adaptor for the Series X/S controllers for PC. The current adaptor works just fine with these newer controllers, however it is now in very short supply. There are third party ones available that do the same thing.

    The Xbox 360 wireless controllers use a different WIFI protocol, they need their own Xbox 360 wireless Gaming Receiver.

    Xbox One and Series X/S controllers can be connected to PC via Bluetooth, but headsets will only work with the Xbox One adaptor (or a third party version), they won't work when the controller is connected via BT

    Elite Series 2 controller not connecting to Xbox Accessories store app on Windows 10 PC!

    Yes,

    Under Human Interface Devices, as Xbox One Wireless Controller. This is when connected with the Microsoft wireless USB dongle.

    I’ve also seen the controller under game controllers when initially connected via Bluetooth. But I abandoned using it via Bluetooth with my windows 10 pc. Only wireless adapter now.

    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.
