2 Wired Controllers both "Sync" in the 1st Position (or as Player 1)

Two USB wired microsoft xbox360 controllers on the xbox 360 slim with kinect are synchronizing to the same player, so one of the controllers is unusable. The latest synchronized controller is always winning. If I unplug and plug in the not working controller
that one wil work again and the other one is not working anymore.

On a PC with Windows 7 both controller are working fine with different players.

The XBOX360 slim is not broken, nor the two wired controllers.

To help Microsoft to solve this problem I need an answer how the XBOX detects the wired controllers?

a) Use the connected USB port as reference?

b) Use the USB chipset of the controller as reference?

c) Use the serial number of the controller as reference?

Both wired controllers have the same chipset and serialnumber. The are from the same productione batch.

You say you have updated drivers. Is this manually downloading or automatically downloading onto your sytem?

You would have to get a USB version or Wireless with adapter controller to work on PC. The one I use is an Afterglow Wired Controller for Xbox Once on my PC.

No that is not possible to connect a controller to your PC through your console. You will need the Xbox 360 wireless USB receiver for windows or buy a pure wired USB xbox 360 controller (microsoft and 3rd party ones available and all will work).

The play and charge USB cable for xbox 360 controllers does not make a wireless controller wired as it only transfers power and not data.

You could buy an xbox one wireless controller that is newer and has bluetooth and connect it to your PC directly as seen on this page: :

You can also use an xbox one wireless controller of any type (with or without bluetooth) with a Micro USB cable on a PC as well. THAT wire does make the xbox one wireless controller act as a wired controller while connected via Micro USB.

the answer is it is a wireless controller they dont work with the usb charging cable ive tried it on windows 7 and 10 you need a proper wired controller apparently.

That's true for 360 controllers, but not Xbox One. The Xbox One controllers work wired and via wireless on PC. My wiress controllers all work fine via the micro USB cable on my PC.

Windows 7 doesn't come with drivers built in to the OS though, they may need need to be downloaded manually if Windows update isn't picking up the controller.

Hiya!

Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to assist with the issue, it looks like you're trying to get a Xbox 360 controller to work on your pc. How is this controller connecting to your PC? Is it a wired controller or wireless controller? If it's a wireless 360
controller there is a wireless dongle that would be needed to have the controller work on PC. Please let us know.

Happy Gaming!

This is wired USB controller. I think that wire is broken.

Sorry for bad English.

@XBF Diego M.

It doesn't really matter if the PC/Laptop has Bluetooth or not though. The user is trying to get the controller to work with a wire, which worked before, and is the same wire I'm using. My PC doesn't have Bluetooth.

I already stated earlier that the Play and charge for the Xbox One also sends data, and it can turn a wireless controller into a wired controller. Only the 360 play and charge is just a charger.
