How to pair controller

Post by scrubsallday351 »

I thought it would be easy to get my xbox 360 controller to work with my toshiba computer, I have a charger cord for it that has a usb on the end, so through the research I did it looks like I should be able to just plug my xbox controller into my computer and wa lahh! It should work but it actually isn't working. So what should I do?

have you installed the drivers for the controller? http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-on-w ... dows-setup

if not you might need a fully wired controller. not sure if a charging cord will work

Play and charge kits won't be able to connect your wireless controller. If you're like me and don't want a wired on I suggest getting one of these: https://www.amazon.ca/abcGOODefg-Wirele ... s+receiver

do you have problems with yours, say you restart a race, controller and adapter on, the controller sometimes quits working? im having this issue with this exact adapter. any solutions?

Make sure the controller has battery. And you have to "update" the drivers once every couple months. I just use the same drivers to replace and it works perfectly.

If you have an xbox one remote or a ps4 remote just plug it into the Pc and it works straight away.. well it does for me. both remotes work on my windows 10 laptop
