Xbox one wired controllers connect initially, then become usb device not recognized after...

Is the USB cord connected to the controller and can't be removed? Or are you using a removable Play&Charge cable?

Usually, when the controller shows two alternately flashing LED's, it is a sign that the batteries are almost empty.

If it's a wired controller, it could be, that the wires in the cable are broken, and you have a loose contact in one of the wires (maybe because the cable was bent too much or too often).

In that case, the PC won't recognize the USB device properly, and in the case the controller was connected, the wire inside the cable lost contact, and then connects the broken wire again, the controller might be detected as a new controller device, and
is then assigned the "Player 2", "Player 3" or "Player 4" LED quadrant.

Hello Darken,

As stated above, any sort of replacements or repairs need to go through our
device support website. Whether you qualify for free replacement depends on the time you have had your controller. Controllers have 3 months of warranty.

If you are asking how to set up the wired connection, all you need is the Standard usb charging cable (Works with most android phones, so you can use those) connecting your controller to the pc or Xbox.

Hope this helps!

The product manual states that the warranty period is one year.

Wireless connectivity is available.

members house and it connected no problem. I don't get it either.

Hi,

Sorry bit there is no 'correct 360 controller cable'.

A 360 wireless controller remains wireless even when plugged in, it does not become wired if you connect via USB. The reason is because the controller isn't designed to send data down a USB cable.

Only the Xbox One controller works wired and wireless.

It is possible that the controller is no longer paired with your Xbox, so the Xbox is not recognizing that you are pressing the A button. To make sure the controller is paired, do the following..

I recommend trying it wired, at least to get past this initial screen, since that is the most direct method. If the Xbox is still stuck on the "press A button" screen, reboot the unit with the controller plug in via USB and try again. If that fails, try
a different controller if you have one available.
