I then tested the controller on my laptop and it worked flawlessly on that machine. To go ridiculous steps further I turned on my Garmin device to see what it would find and it also found the controller as "xbox wireless controller".
I can say that I know this to be fact with great confidence because my cell phone, my tablets and my laptop all found the controller via bluetooth as "xbox wireless controller" while at the same moment my PC was still finding the device as "input".
System troubleshooting options and researching the issue online to see if others had or have this same issue and so forth.Īfter the above mentioned, I thought since it was a windows update that broke my new xbox controllers bluetooth link that I would have MS tech support try to work out the issue remotely as I knew it was a windows software conflict/issue and not the controller. Including attempting system restore, updating bluetooth drives, running I ran through all the troubleshooting for a couple hours cumulatively between speaking with my clients at work and exhausted all searches for this issue as well as any of my known methods.
The naming convention changed from "xbox wireless controller" to "input" with the same game controller iconĪnd my computer would not connect to "input" at all. Then on the 28th a couple updates to my computer occurred and the controller no longer operated on my computer as intended. I easily connected it with zero issue and it
Long answer to arrive at the solution above: I bought a wireless xbox one x controller for my PC November 22nd from MS store online, was delivered November 26th. That's roughly an $800 savings in my specific scenario. Cost of the wireless adapter after taxes $27.49. This issue, if I was paid my normal hourly income would have cost me a $825 loss in income my average hourly rate of $75 per hour. Short answer to the resolution of this problem to save valuable time:
I have a new custom build Windows 10 Pro PC completed in late October 2018. I should download to help? I have done every troubleshooting option on this website. It connects to all other computers and shows up as 'Xbox one controller'. It used to connect fine to my computer, but now it no longer does.
You can tell if the Xbox 360 controllers that are player #5 or higher are connected by pressing the Xbox button.Recently, I bought an xbox one s controller. The PS and Xbox buttons on each controller will not open the controller info pane (it is only designed to display four controllers) I believe this is because PS3 controllers send their battery level information in a different way than Xbox 360 controllers and the Xbox 360 Accessories program does not recognize it. PS3 controllers will all light up their fourth lightīattery levels will not ever display for the PS3 controllers. Xbox 360 controllers will not light up at all When used as controller #5, #6, #7, or #8: The order the controllers are connected will determine which controller is which (just as with their respective consoles) Any combination of the two will work.Įxample: Four PS3 controllers as controllers #1, #2, #5, and #8, four Xbox 360 Controllers as controllers #3, #4, #6, and #7. You can use up to eight controllers at once, four PS3 controllers and four Xbox 360 controllers (Yes they will still work!).
