Xbox wireless controller skips over buttons

Hi,

If you’re using the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10:

1. Turn on your PC and sign in.
   
2. Plug the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows into your PC. For more info, see
   Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
   
3. Turn on your controller by pressing the
   Xboxbutton. When you turn on the controller, the
   Xbox button will start flashing.
   
4. Press and hold the
   Pair button on the Xbox Wireless Adapter. A small light will flash for several seconds.
   
5. Press and hold the
   Pairbutton on the top of the controller (the raised button). The
   Xbox button on the controller will flash more rapidly – this means your controller is searching for the Xbox Wireless Adapter.
   When connected, the Xbox button on the controller will stay lit.
   

Updated both controllers, still getting the same issues.. I hit the Xbox button on controller, the menu is completely unresponsive at times, Friends list won't open, none of the options respond to A.. using the DPad still skips over items, digital keyboard still goes to top left.. dumb

Hello

The
Xbox One Wireless Controller can be wired or wireless and is more recent with most games, so I'd recommend

that over the 360 controller. The 360 controller still works because it has the same buttons but for practical purposes and warranty reasons

The Xbox one Controller would be the way to go in my opinion. I've never had problems with my Xbox one Controller. I love it.

I hope this helped! Good luck with your decision and Happy gaming!!

Hello, I hope you are well.

Please check these steps below.

What you are seeing with the LEDs is an indication that the Xbox 360 Explorer controller is entering pairing mode, not working mode. In order for the controller to function on your PC, you must first pair it with the Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter.

Steps to pair the controller with the wireless adapter:

Connect the wireless adapter: Connect the Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter to a USB port on your PC.

Press the pairing button on the adapter: On the wireless adapter, there is a small button (usually near the USB port). Press and hold this button for a few seconds. The LED on the adapter should start blinking.

Turn on the controller: Press the Xbox button in the center of the controller to turn it on.

Hi,

I am using, according to microsoft, the xbox wireless controller in robot white. Link for reference, if unopenable, specifically the new xbox controller with the screenshot button to the bottom left of the start button.

Also, that is the only button that I am experiencing issues with.
