How to Connect an Xbox Controller to a PC

Blog Article

You can connect any Xbox controller to your Windows PC, including the latest Xbox Wireless Controller and the premium Elite lineup. You can choose between a wireless connection and a wired connection using a USB cable, depending on your setup.

The simplest way to use an Xbox controller with your PC involves connecting it using a USB cable. The type of cable you use depends on what controller you have. The latest Xbox Wireless Controller and the Elite 2 connect via a USB Type-C cable, and the previous-gen Xbox One and Elite Version 1 use Micro-USB.

To connect the controller, just plug one end of the cable into the controller and the other end into your PC's USB port.

Once you're connected via USB, the Xbox button will stay lit on your controller, indicating that it's ready to use. In most cases, the controller will work without any additional setup, but if that doesn't happen, you might need to update the controller's firmware.

Once you're done, go ahead and fire up any game with controller support and have fun.

How to Connect an Xbox Wireless Controller to a PC Through Bluetooth
If you'd rather avoid cable clutter, you can connect it to your PC using Bluetooth. If your PC doesn't have built-in Bluetooth, I strongly recommend purchasing a cheap USB Bluetooth Dongle. This is how I connect my controller to my PC. It works just as well as onboard Bluetooth and doesn't introduce any noticeable input lag.

To connect the controller, open the Start menu and click the gear icon to open Settings.

In Settings, click "Devices."

In Devices, make sure that you're on the "Bluetooth & Other Devices" page, and then click "Add Bluetooth or other device."
In the "Add a Device" window that appears, select "Bluetooth."

Next, put your Xbox Wireless Controller in pairing mode. First, power up the controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button.

Once the button lights up, hold the pairing button for a few seconds until the Xbox logo blinks rapidly. You can find the pairing button on the top above the USB port and between your LB and RB trigger buttons.

On your computer, click "Xbox Wireless Controller" when it appears in the "Add a Device" list.

Congratulations! Your Xbox Wireless Controller is now connected to your PC.

Select "Done" to finish the process.

When you're done playing, it'll turn off automatically after a while, but you can also turn the Xbox controller off manually to save battery life. To do this, press and hold the Xbox button or pop the batteries out.
