    Xbox Series X Controllers only work when plugged in with USB.


    My new Series X arrived today, I got it all set up as I was supposed to and the controllers worked like they were supposed to for the first 3 times I turned it on (for the first 3 times the Xbox was only one for like 3 minutes at most, not sure if that matters but I'll mention it if it does) and then after that neither or my controllers worked. I took out the batteries and put them back in, turned off the Xbox and unplugged it, nothing really worked until I plugged one of the controllers into the Xbox with the USB port and that didn't work at first until a couple trys later. I updated both controllers but they still only work if plugged in.

    Any advice?

    :)

    Issue with new Arctis 9x and xbox keyboard

    The keyboard itself plugs into my controller and the usb, I have plugged into the usb port on the front of my xbox series x. When using the keyboard, the keyboard works but the mic stops working.

    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.

    Xbox Series X type-c port?

    On the video, Xbox Series X has USB type A only.

    The new controller, I think is type-A (Xbox Series X) to type-c (controller). (Elite2 is a to c usb)

    HELP

    Yep you do know why right ?

    Series x controllers are usb type c

    If you try and use a xbox series plug and play kit you won't have a controller left or you won't have a working cord

    Xbox one and ps4 used usb 2.0 not type c

    My controller is stuck moving down

    Of course, i’m on an Xbox Series X and the problem still persists when I use the controller when plugged in via USB. And how do I check my controller for updates when I can’t navigate any menus?
