Xbox One Wireless controller acting on its own

The controller will not work with the Xbox wireless adapter if it comes with its own.

Only Xbox peripherals work with it

Hello there,

I have split your post into its own thread in order to help you out directly. This sounds like you are having issues with your Xbox one controller. If you haven't already, please check out the troubleshooting listed on this article here :

Troubleshoot your Xbox One wireless controller

Let us know if this helps!

I am also having the same problem, and I know its not the controller because it is doing with all 4 of my controllers, the left stick acts like there is latency, has to be a problem with the wireless signal at the console, and its sad with all these posts
and no response from Microsoft....and they wonder why most of us wont buy the xbox one, how about you get one console working right.......

Hi,

I think there have been some confusion with the answers here. Xbox One Controllers on PC can connect in three different ways.

USB

Your PC's USB port will charge the battery during play or just power the controller if no battery present.

Bluetooth Your controller will be connected to the PC wireless via the BT protocol.

Official Xbox One PC wireless receiver

The wireless receiver uses its own wireless protocol (it's not Bluetooth), provides slightly more features and is easier to pair with the PC. It may or may not use more power, it really depends on how you're using it. Obviously it will use more power if
you use a mic or headphones.

One controller on its own with no mic or headphones should use the same power consumption as Bluetooth.

Hi,

There aren't any drivers to download for Windows 10 as the drivers for Xbox 360 controllers are already built into the OS.

The Xbox 360 controller uses its own type of wireless protocol, it's not Bluetooth and so it can't be connected to a PC directly without additional hardware. It needs an Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver for use on a PC. This receiver needs to be specifically for Xbox 360 controllers. The receivers for the Xbox One controllers won't work either.
