  1. xbox wireless controller not charging


    I have this xbox wireless controller ( i don't know the model) but it is latest ig which used to work fine but now it does'nt charge. I tried changing the batteries but still it doesn't charge. It only works when i plug in but it stops immediately after plugging out. I never dropped my controller anywhere. I tried updating it but still it doesn't work. Suggestions are welcomed.

    xbox 360 controller not working on PC

    Is the controller a wireless controller or wired? If it is wireless, how are you connecting it? If by using the play & charge kit, then the Xbox 360 controller will not work, as the cable is only recognized on PC for charging only. You need to use a Xbox
    360 Wireless adapter for PC to connect a wireless Xbox 360 controller to your PC.

    Trying to hook up xbox 360 controller to pc for pc games

    Hello im tring to hook up my xbox 360 controller with charge cord....
    H,

    That's your problem, right there. Unfortunately, if you connect your wireless Xbox 360 controller with a charging cable, all your doing is charging the controller.

    The 360 wireless controller can't be turned into a wired controller with the charging cable as neither the controller or the wire were designed to send data this way.

    You either need 360 wired controller or an Xbox One controller. Xbox One controllers can use wired or wireless, but wireless is only supported via Windows 10.

    Hope that helps.

    Trouble with my Xbox 360 Wireless Controller on my PC

    Hi,

    The Xbox 360 wireless controller won't work with the play and charge kit on it's own on a PC. The Controller always remains wireless, it can't be changed to a wired controller. To use a 360 wireless controller you'll need an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver.
    Microsoft no longer make these, but it is possible to buy a third party receiver, although installing them can be troublesome.

    The Play and charge can be used with the PC, but only to charge the controller. The driver is only designed to automatically sync the controller to the Gaming receiver.

    Only the Xbox One controller can be turned into a wired controller with an Xbox One Play and Charge, or a standard USB to Micro USB cable.

    Xbox 360 wired controller not connecting to Windows 10

    I have checked the Device Manager and saw "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play & Charge Kit"..
    This is why. The wireless 360 controller is always wireless, it can't be turned into a wired controller. The cable can only charge the battery, it doesn't send data.

    To use your wireless controller you need an Xbox 360 gaming receiver.

    Xbox360 Controller USB Incompatibility with PC

    Hi,

    To use an Xbox 360 controller on its own on a PC, it must a wired controller. It does not matter if the USB port is 3.0, USB 2.0 devices will work on USB 3.0 ports.
    The Xbox 360 Play and Charge can not send controller data back to the PC. It will only charge the battery, or power the controller if no battery is present. A play and charge for 360 controllers is a charger, nothing
    more.


    Xbox 360 wireless controllers are always wireless. To use a Xbox 360 wireless controller on a PC, you'll need an Xbox 360 gaming receiver.

    Only the Wireless Xbox One controllers can be made wired with the correct Micro USB sync and charge type cable.
