Xbox One S Bluetooth Controller For PC. on here it says in need the win 10 anniversary update for bluetooth controller to work and that comes out today but i havn't recieved it yet. I updated the controller through the Xbox Accessories app on the Windows Store, which changed nothing, and tried a bunch of other software things. As I was able to connect the controller to my phone though, and I knew I had problems with my Bluetooth dongle before, I decided to get a new dongle and now the problem is fixed. I hope when i bought the 4.0 dongle, can appear the controller. I updated the controller through the Xbox Accessories app on the Windows Store, which changed nothing, and tried a bunch of other software things. As I was able to connect the controller to my phone though, and I knew I had problems with my Bluetooth dongle before, I decided to get a new dongle and now the problem is fixed. hello, your bluetooth dongle now is 4.0? cause i have bt 2.0 dongle and my pc dont recognize the xbox one s controller. I updated the controller through the Xbox Accessories app on the Windows Store, which changed nothing, and tried a bunch of other software things. As I was able to connect the controller to my phone though, and I knew I had problems with my Bluetooth dongle before, I decided to get a new dongle and now the problem is fixed. Bit of a late reply however I too faced this issue, I tried everything under the sun and also contacted via online a helpdesk for Microsoft who explored my system and told me that my registry was a complete mess of stuff not working and broken and they would repair it for me for $300:00 dollars lol. My Bluetooth dongle was years old so I went and bought the official Xbox wireless adapter £20:00, what a nightmare that was, it connected fine but kept dropping out and disconnecting, hours spent with Xbox one online support and they had no clue, really nice people but there really is no resolve for the fact that the product is rubbish. Finally I went and bought a brand new £10.00 Bluetooth dongle and although you have to reconnect and re-sync it each time you wanna play it works a charm. I might add my controller is a new one with built in Bluetooth and I am on the latest version of windows 10 build 1703. Oh and my registry is fine by the way as I recently did a complete reinstall of windows and ran a few registry cleaners lol $300:00 my butt. Xbox One S.

Xbox One Wireless Controllers may support connecting to your PC via Bluetooth. Your controller has this feature if it looks like the one on the bottom in this illustration: On Bluetooth-supported controllers, the plastic around the Xbox button is part of the face of the controller. On controllers without Bluetooth, the plastic around the Xbox button is part of the top, where the bumpers are. Bluetooth requires a PC running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. See Windows Update: FAQ to learn how to get the latest Windows update. For best performance, update your controller. See How to update your Xbox One Controller on Windows 10.

Headsets can only be connected to the Xbox One Wireless Controller. They can’t be connected to third-party wired controllers. The Xbox One console does not feature Bluetooth functionality. Headsets cannot connect to the console using Bluetooth. On this page. If you have an Xbox One Wireless Controller with a 3.5-mm port, you can connect a headset with a standard 3.5-mm jack directly to the controller. (The 3.5-mm port is a small circular port on the bottom of the controller.) Find out how to adjust your audio settings at Use the Chat Headset with Xbox One. For more information on 3.5-mm standards, see Standards for audio jacks, below. No matter what kind of Xbox One Wireless Controller you have, you can connect the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to your controller by plugging it into the rectangular expansion port on the bottom of your controller. You can then connect a compatible 3.5-mm audio jack to the stereo headset adapter. Some third-party products come with a stereo headset adapter that may look different from the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter made by Microsoft, but they all function the same way. You can only connect an Xbox 360 Chat Headset using the stereo headset adapter with a 2.5-mm to 3.5-mm converter, which comes with the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. The Xbox One Stereo Headset does not include this adapter cable. Press the chat audio button on the stereo headset adapter until you hear only chat audio. (The chat audio button is in the lower-left corner of the adapter as you hold your controller.) If you have a stereo-chat headset, connect it to the audio output on your TV, monitor, or console. You can use the controls on the headset to control the audio volume. The two main types of connectors are RCA cables and the S/PDIF optical audio cable . Stereo headset with RCA cables. Plug the RCA cables from the headset or the headset’s base station into the audio-out ports on your TV. (The end of the RCA cables include a cylinder housing with a thin pin extending from the center.) Your TV must have either RCA audio output connectors or a 3.5-mm headphone output. If you use the 3.5-mm headphone jack, you’ll need to buy a 3.5-mm mini-to-RCA adapter cable. The Xbox One Stereo Headset and several other gaming headsets use a single 3.5-mm audio cable for both chat and gaming. These headsets plug directly into the stereo headset adapter. Other gaming headsets use two 3.5-mm audio cables. Typically, one cable has a green jack. This jack is used for game audio. The other cable has a pink jack. This jack is used for chat audio on a PC. These headsets may include an adapter that combines both. However, not all of these cables use the CTIA headset standard. This can compromise performance and quality. For more information, see the following section, Standards for audio jacks. Stereo headset with S/PDIF (optical) audio cable. Plug the headset’s S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) optical cable into the back of your TV, monitor, or console. (The S/PDIF cable plugs into a rectangular port on your TV.) Not all 3.5-mm audio jacks are made to the same standard. There are two audio jack standards: Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), and Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP). If you use an OMTP headset, you’ll probably experience audio or chat issues. However, if your headset or earbuds use the OMTP standard, you can purchase an adapter to convert the device to CTIA. These adapters are available at many electronic retail stores. The following images show the differences in the CTIA and OMTP standards. The CTIA standard has the microphone section of the jack closer to the end of the cable while the OMTP standard has the ground section of the jack closer to the end of the cable. Microphone Ground Right audio channel Left audio channel. Ground Microphone Right audio channel Left audio channel. The following headsets are incompatible with the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter: Mad Catz Tritton Warhead headset Mad Catz Tritton Primer headset (Mad Catz offers an adapter for the Primer headset to convert the 2.5-mm audio jack to a 3.5-mm audio jack. Contact Mad Catz for support.) The Xbox 360 Wireless Headset and Xbox 360 Wireless Bluetooth Headset Headsets with this 2.5-mm connector will not work because of the connector format. This connector includes a long, cylindrical pin in the middle of the connecting side that does not fit into the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. The Xbox One S Bluetooth controller doesn’t work with Steam Link, yet. Above: Xbox One S controller. Microsoft has revised its Xbox One controller and added some cool features, but it doesn’t work with everything right out of the box. I just received my custom Xbox One S controller from Microsoft’s Xbox Design Lab earlier today, and I’ve found that it will not connect to the in-home game-streaming Steam Link box from Valve Software. I’m testing out the S controller’s features, and I’m enjoying the improved grip, the extended range, and the Bluetooth connectivity. Previous Xbox controllers all used proprietary tech that required gamers to purchase a special adapter to connect the joypad wirelessly to something like a PC. Bluetooth compatibility means you no longer need that adapter for wireless gaming on a Windows machine or even on most Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. But it’s disappointing that this excellent controller still won’t connect to one of the better devices for playing PC games on a television. The problem is that the Steam Link will need specific Bluetooth drivers to get the Xbox One S controller to function. Microsoft won’t start shipping the S until August 2, when it debuts for $60 alongside the new, slimmer Xbox One S console. So unless Microsoft gives Valve the controller and the drivers early, for testing, we’ll have to wait until Valve’s engineers can get their hands on the device to figure it out on their own. This isn’t the first time a Microsoft wireless controller solution has failed to function with the Steam Link. In October, the Xbox company released the aforementioned adapter that enables gamers to play games on their PCs without a wire between the computer and the Xbox One controller. But that adapter did not function with the Steam Link, because Microsoft didn’t provide Valve with the necessary licensing and know-how to get the USB adapter working on the Link. While the Wireless Adapter still doesn’t work on Steam Link, Bluetooth is far more open than that dongle. And you can likely expect that Valve will get support for the Xbox One S controller built into its devices at some point in the future. Xbox One: 20 things you need to know. Microsoft's new console may seem daunting, but here are some key points about the new do-nearly-everything gaming machine. After months of waiting, the Xbox One is almost here. We already posted our in-depth review , but for those of you looking for the TL;DR version of all the latest Xbox One news, here's a quick cheat sheet. Xbox One in pictures. 1. Price and availability. The Xbox One will be released in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the UK, and the US on November 22. It costs $499 in North America, £429 in the UK, AU$599 in Australia, and 499 euros in the EU countries listed above. The Kinect camera is included; you can't opt out of that peripheral. 2. You'll need an Xbox Live Gold membership ($60/year in the US) to do almost anything beyond play single-player games. Xbox Live Gold was pretty much a requirement for any online Xbox gamer before, but that's even more the case now. Any online services require Gold, from streaming Netflix to game DVR functionality (apps and game recordings are free on the PS4, with only online gaming requiring a PlayStation Plus membership). 3. It plays Blu-rays, DVDs, and (unlike PS4) CDs. The Xbox 360 only had DVD support, and -- briefly, via a peripheral -- HD-DVDs. Blu-ray playback is a pleasant addition. And sorry, lovers of 3D Blu-rays , whoever you are: the Xbox One isn't compatible with you. (There is no 3D Blu-ray compatibility on PS4 at present, either.) 4. It supports limited DLNA. in theory. Microsoft's pushing its SkyDrive account -- Microsoft's own cloud-storage service -- to play back cloud-stored photos and videos, but "Play To" DLNA-supported devices could theoretically work. We haven't tested this yet, but if you're a streaming-media-server type of person, prepare to be a bit disappointed versus what was capable on an Xbox 360. 5. The hard drive is not user replaceable (unlike with the PS4) The Xbox One comes with a 500GB hard drive, and you're going to have to live with it. Right now, there's no plan to how, exactly, you'll upgrade that storage. The Xbox 360 used to have a proprietary snap-on hard drive; on the One, it lives inside the console. (PS4 owners can self-upgrade with a standard laptop hard drive.) Xbox One launch titles (pictures) 6. It won't play your old Xbox 360, original Xbox, or Xbox Live Arcade titles (discs or digital) Bad news for Xbox 360 owners with huge game libraries: the Xbox One won't play your discs. And any downloaded Xbox games that exist on your Xbox Live account won't transfer over, either. It's a fresh start with the Xbox One, whether you like it or not -- but user settings and account details are retained and carried over. 7. Downloaded games can be redownloaded and played anywhere, but disc games need the disc to play. Disc and disc-free games alike need installation on the Xbox One, but if you go the disc route, keep in mind that you'll always need that disc inserted to start the game. 8. The Xbox One doesn't have Bluetooth support. Go figure. Wi-Fi Direct and 802.11n Wi-Fi will help address some device-to-device connections, but for wireless accessories you'll have to use official Xbox options. The PlayStation 4 doesn't work with universal Bluetooth peripherals, either, even though it does have Bluetooth onboard. 9. The Kinect doubles as an IR blaster. For any universal remote control purposes, the Kinect, when set up, will be programmed to operate your TV and cable box. Controls like volume control and channel-changing can be executed using voice, but it can get a little challenging at times. 10. The Xbox One works with universal remotes. Unlike the PS4, which lacks an IR port, the Xbox One can be controlled with a compatible universal remote. That's nice for DVD or Blu-ray playback, for folks who don't want to use the Xbox controller or Kinect voice commands. 11. The Xbox One is bigger than the PlayStation 4. It's not even close. Not only is the One the bulkier console, but it has a very large power brick adapter attached to the power cable; the PlayStation 4 just has a regular thin plug. 12. Xbox SmartGlass is back, and runs on Windows 8, iOS, and Android devices. Microsoft's second-screen SmartGlass app works on a variety of phones, tablets, and PCs, and promises to add media playback controls, in-game second-screen functions, and pop-up information viewing throughout Xbox One. Many iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches, Android 4 devices 7 inches and larger, and Windows 8 phones, tablets, and PCs can connect. 13. Kinect is not required for use, but it certainly helps. A new Kinect comes packed in with every Xbox One, making it a required purchase. It's also meant to be plugged in most of the time. You don't need it plugged in, but any automatic logging in, voice control, and gesture recognition, which is a big part of how the Xbox One works, won't function. 14. It works with cable and satellite TV, but doesn't support DVR control. An HDMI input allows you to run your cable box directly into the Xbox One , feeding it all your TV feeds. The Xbox One has its own searchable menu for TV listings, too, and can change the channel on your cable box, acting on its behalf. But, while you can watch your DVR, you can't use the Xbox One to access your recordings or the menus; for that, you're going to have to use your remote, as usual. 15. Some TVs aren't supported by Kinect. CNET couldn't get the Xbox One to recognize the Sharp Elite PRO-60X5FD from CNET's Lab, which also meant the Kinect wouldn't learn commands for the set, either. Maybe additional software updates are needed, but this bears watching. 16. Game DVR only records the last 5 minutes of what you're playing, versus 15 minutes on the PlayStation 4. It's fun to share, but remember that the Xbox One only keeps a continuously recording backlog of the last 5 minutes, versus 15 minutes on the PS4. But it's easier to share a quick 30-second clip on the Xbox One. 17. Twitch exists as an app for Xbox One, but you can't broadcast using it yet. The PlayStation 4 has the ability to create your own live broadcast of your gameplay for the world to see via Twitch, or watch what others are streaming. The Xbox One has a Twitch app, but it's only for viewing streams. Creating your own live stream won't be possible on Xbox until, most likely, early next year. 18. Snap is a multitasker's dream, but some apps don't work for it. Using Snap, you can create a side split-screen of live TV, NFL scores, or whatever else you can think of while playing a game -- or, combine apps that involve no gaming whatsoever. Some apps don't support Snap yet, but discovering which do takes some trial and error. 19. Voice control is a mixed bag. Using the Kinect for voice commands shows how many more types of interactions you can do with the Xbox One versus the Xbox 360, but it's not perfect. More often than not you have to repeat yourself, and some TV channels and game titles require exact pronunciation, or are so hard to pronounce that the Xbox One simply won't process it easily. 20. It's always on, for better or worse. The Xbox One encourages you to run your TV and home theater through it, meaning you'll have your Xbox One (and the Kinect) on even when watching old DVR recordings or when watching a movie. You might get pop-up Skype calls, or game notifications, right in the middle of a show. Of course, you can always disconnect it from your TV feed, too. Updated with five new entries on November 21. We'll be updating this list in coming days; if you have a question about the Xbox One -- or see an error above -- let us know in the comments section. Introducing the Newest Member of the Xbox Family: The Xbox One S. Today at E3, we unveiled a new member of the Xbox One family, the Xbox One S. The Xbox One S will offer exceptional games and entertainment starting at $299 USD. With a fresh new design and “robot white” color, the Xbox One S is 40 percent smaller than the original Xbox One, creating the most compact Xbox yet. It also includes a built-in power supply, and in response to fan requests worldwide, can be placed horizontally or vertically with an optional stand. Xbox One S is not just slimmer and sleeker. We also worked hard to add some exciting new features for video and gameplay. You’ll now be able to watch Blu-ray movies and stream video in stunning 4K Ultra HD video, with content from partners like Netflix and Amazon Video. Xbox One S also offers High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for video and gaming, so you can experience richer, more luminous colors in games like Gears of War 4 and Scalebound . With a higher contrast ratio between lights and darks, HDR brings out the true visual depth of your games and media. For increased accessibility, we shifted one of the three USB ports and the pairing button to the front of the Xbox One S alongside the newly added IR blaster. Additionally, in order to make the Xbox One S as compact as possible and make all of these updates, we removed the dedicated Kinect port from the back. Kinect for Xbox One will still be compatible with Xbox One S via the Xbox Kinect Adapter for USB connection and offers the same great experiences as the current console. For fans that currently own a Kinect for Xbox One and plan to purchase the Xbox One S, we are offering a free Xbox Kinect Adapter. Visit xbox.com/XboxOne/KinectAdapter for more details. The New Xbox Wireless Controller. The Xbox One S comes with a newly designed Xbox Wireless Controller featuring textured grip for enhanced comfort. We improved the Xbox Wireless signal performance to give you a more reliable wireless connection to the console and up to twice the wireless range when used with Xbox One S. To enable easier wireless connection to your Windows 10 devices, we also added Bluetooth support.* The new thumbstick design significantly reduces wear to help maintain accuracy and smooth rotation over the life of the controller, so you never miss a beat. The new Xbox Wireless Controller is included with all Xbox One S consoles and will be available worldwide for individual purchase for $59.99 USD. All Xbox One games, accessories and Xbox Live services will work with the new Xbox One S. With 500GB, 1TB and special launch edition 2TB options, you can choose the hard drive that’s right for you. The limited quantity 2TB launch edition Xbox One S will be available in select markets starting early August for $399 USD, with the 1TB Xbox One S for $349 USD and the 500GB Xbox One S for $299 USD arriving thereafter. The Xbox One Vertical Stand will also be available for standalone purchase for $19.99 USD. *Bluetooth capabilities require Windows 10 devices running the Windows Anniversary Update. Android Police. PSA: The new Bluetooth-enabled Xbox One controller works with Android. but not very well. The Xbox 360 controller has been the de facto standard for years (NVIDIA copied it almost exactly for the SHIELD line), and the Xbox One has a refined and streamlined version of that design. So when Microsoft announced that a shiny new revision of the Xbox One controller would not only let you choose your colors and engraving Moto Maker-style, but also include a Bluetooth connection for easy dongle-free pairing with PCs, I couldn't help but get excited. Might Android gamers finally get access to the best controller around without any USB frippery or root-enabled work-arounds? The answer is yes - and then again no. The new Bluetooth-equipped revision of the Xbox One controller can pair with Android phones fairly easily, but that's where the good news ends. While the controller works fine for PCs thanks to years of standardization in that particular market, the implementation apparently just isn't intended for any other platform. Pairing the controller is more or less the same as the older, console-only version: turn it on with the shiny central Xbox button, then tap the pairing button hidden on top. The controller appears in the Bluetooth connection list with a handy label. Tap it, wait for the light on the controller to stop blinking, and you're good to go. Until you get into a game, that is. The problem is the controller mapping. While Android's native controller APIs conform to a pretty standard mapping system (the same dual-stick, A/B/X/Y setup that we've been using for two decades), and any cheap controller from Amazon tends to work with it these days, something about the new Xbox One controller messes it all up. In Riptide GP2, the controller's left trigger was brake, but the right trigger button didn't map to gas. Instead I eventually found the gas button. by depressing the right thumbstick ("R3" as it's usually labelled). As you can probably guess, applying pressure on a plastic stick for an entire race is a little less than ergonomic. Maybe it was a problem for just one game? I switched over to Asphalt 8, which has excellent controller support. There the gas and brake triggers were backwards, and the boost button was shifted from A over to B, and drift was up on Y. So the game is a bit more playable, so long as I can un-learn a decade of racing game habits. I decided to try Soul Calibur, still my favorite fighter on Android (even if those jerks at Namco-Bandai won't give us multiplayer like they have on iOS). All the face buttons were moved over to the left, except for horizontal slash, the primary, go-to quick attack for each character in the entire game. It's hiding out on the L1 shoulder button for some reason. The only controller-enabled game that I tried which worked exactly as intended was Sonic The Hedgehog 2. And since Sonic games can be played with a single stick/d-pad and one action button, that isn't a ringing endorsement. Sadly, my brief ray of hope for using the best console controller around with my phones and tablets was swiftly dashed. It wouldn't even properly pair with my SHIELD TV (it never left pairing mode). In Microsoft's defense, Bluetooth was added more or less just for PC users, and the new Xbox One controller was never advertised as compatible with Android or any other gaming system. Emulator fans might be able to get some use out of it - every decent emulation app has complete controller mapping options - but everyone else can skip this one. Previous Story.

The US smartphone market is devolving into a Samsung and Apple market - and that's bad for Android. That sucks. Shield controller works great with that stuff but the problem with the shield controller is it only works on shield devices.

I'm getting one for my note 7 and gear vr as it's compatible and also there's PC game streaming on gear vr so that controller gonna help make it a pleasant experience. I know from using it myself that it's worth it! I've used my PS4 controller with my Nexus Player with a couple games using an OTG cable. It's worked pretty well. Maybe an intelligent and fearless developer could solve those problems with an app! Or just use root keylayout files are not hard to edit. I've heard there were also issues with Windows as well with the controllers so I'm not completely surprised. That's awfully vague - issues such as what? Possibly the horrible slow down in games, but thats been a thing since the beta. Lots, Even my older Adapter Xbox one controller has issues on the Windows Anniversary update. Yea the Bluetooth was weird on PC. Mine was super sensitive in doom one look to the right and u do a 720 lol there's another controller I been recommending that doesn't do that but I said a few times in these comments so I don't wanna look like an ad lol. is this only with the xbone controller? because my DS4 works fairly well with my Laptop (win8.1) Yes just this new xbox controller. so other BT controllers work for you? (if you have a PS4 you can try to pair your DS4 by holding share and PS button while the controller is off. to get it back to PS4 just connect the cable and turn it on) for turning off either hold the PS button for like 10 seconds, turn off BT on your PC, or stick a paperclip in that hole on the back) Yea if I used that 1 app everything worked fine. But yea that 1 controller I been recommending is compatible with anything android even gear vr and windows. Pretty sure developers can pre-package controller mappings for specific controllers. In my experience emulators include a few common controller mappings (Dualshock 3, Ouya, Shield, Nexus Gamepad) and anything else its up to the user to create a custom mapping. In time I expect 360 controller mappings will become standard. Sucks for you. It paired the first time with my Shield TV but the controller didnt work. So I unpaired it and it works flawlessly now. You should try more than just streaming apps before concluding that it works "flawlessly." It does not work correctly in a lot of games. Ive tried a few games like sonic 2 and sonic cd as well as Sega emulator. One action button games such as Sonic, and emulators, which can be mapped easily don't count. Asphalt 8 is free. Try it. It doesn't work right. You didn't bother reading the article, did you? Pretty sure he did as he mentioned he was able to get it to pair with his ShieldTV which the author of the article says he was unable to do. But it would be nice to get some impressions of other games like Asphalt 8 or other games like shooters, etc. Hard to believe since his evidence for the controller working are the games given in the article as the only ones that do work. The problem is all the others. I'm guessing it would take adding a keylayout file that is configured for the new controller. One can only hope Nvidia will do so in an upcoming update. It wouldn't be like asking for the moon or support for an obscure controller no one cares about. Yeah, that is almost certainly the issue here based on the issue description. Unfortunately, you can't really make a good NES or SNES one. The buttons can't be colored so you lose any chance of getting the red ones. I tried to make one and they all came out rather blah without the colored buttons. NES or SNES (The Best I could do) Your black one isn't half bad. The grey one is like the one I did. Too plain. Yeah, I've been tweeting at Xbox and a few team members to get fully colored buttons. That's another thing holding me back on ordering. Doubt MS will give an option to change the color of the XYAB buttons, since those are pretty platform-specific. It's like changing the big X button to a Sony or Nintendo (or god forbid, Apple) logo. This doesn't surprise me. My DS4 controller doesn't work well bluetooth wise with my Shield tablet. Either it has problems connecting or there's massive lag after a few seconds of gameplay. I've been tempted to pick up an Android controller instead but the market is flooded with weird name brand ones and I'm never sure which one will work well. You need the steel series stratus xl controller. Everyone has they're own opinion but to me that controller might even be better than the Xbox one controller. its almost flawless except the USB port is inside the battery compartment. It's designed with android navigation buttons works with everything except consoles flawlessly. I think this is fixable, at least for rooted devices, for apps that don't work out of the box. I have this exact same issue with my 8bitdo controllers in anything that isn't an emulator, so emulators are covering the mapping. Maybe a an app that would fix the default mapping for the controller? I't be a dream to have only one set of xbox controllers for console, pc and mobile. Is there an elite version with Bluetooth? Would be nice if AOSP decided to add support later on. Everyone unless u own an xbox then forget this. Steel series stratus xl works perfect. I just hate where u have to get plug it in for updates which is inconvenient but besides that it's the best android controller hands down and better than the shield controller for gaming. It's win10 compatible and works with almost every game that supports gamepads. Someone will release an app that fixes this. This controller is wayyyyyy too popular right now to go long without it working great on Android. But most of the apps that alter button functionality seem to need root. Ideally we need a non-root app to handle the key mapping. If your rooted you could just easily edit the keylayout anyways. The controllers brand new so obviously it doesn't have a keylayout built into the system for it and its stuck with useing a generic one. Microsoft is pretty open now under their new leadership they'll probably release a Xbox Accessories app that lets you customize the buttons like they have on the Xbox One. This is a bit off-topic for Android Police, but I wonder how well it fares with a Steam Link? The older Xbox One controllers work perfectly fine if plugged in, so I'd suspect as much, but it's never entirely safe to assume. Not sure, never seen a Steam Link box in my life, but I can imagine Valve's got their stuff in order. "best controller around" Eh opinion and all but I highly disagree. This, i hate that positioning of the analog stick. Pretty cool this has Bluetooth built in now though. It's the reason I had been using a PS4 controller with a 3rd party program. I'll pick one of these up to use on my PC knowing this. The adapter was cheap before so i dont see how the xbox controller wasnt a option begin with got for 15$ Can I add: GTA Vice City isn't very good here either. The X/Y/A/B are swapped from each position and require a little getting used to, that's doable. But as soon as you step out of the menu, it keeps on spinning and spinning, as apparently the left trigger is seen as the camera-axis; and as it is fully extended by default, I need to push it halfway to get the spinning to stop. Annoying is understating, that's purely unplayable. Keylayouts are a shit fest on andriod and the xbox having holograph sensors doesn't help even the generic controllers dont always work(though thankfully most devs support the generic input)honestly its one of the that need most work, asop/google should really put keymaper directly into the so root isnt necessary to fix this stuff. Just noticed the ton of typos man my phones spell check sucks. Bluetooth controllers haven't been very reliable for me. There's always a small delay (input lag?) between the moment I press a button and the moment the game recognises such input. That can make some games impossible to play. well my DS4 never had and problems for me on my laptop. Yep, fighting games pretty much need wires. try using an external usb bluetooth adapter instead. built in bluetooth have always crap for me. probably because most of them shares the same chip/antenna as the wifi, or sit too close with the wifi's antenna. I had no problems with my desktop computer, but on mobile phones. yeah, i was talking about mobile phones and notebook. the worst is notebooks, i have had trouble with bluetooth on every notebook i ever had, even with the latest windows/linux. works fine with usb bluetooth adapter, but the built in sucks. Best console controller? I dont think so, dualshock 4 rules!! You need a special app to use it don't you? If so, I think I've tried said app and it didn't work on my tablet.. :( Da Nile isn't only a river in Egypt. it also rules as a PC controller because it had pairable BT from the start. I have 4 DS4 each for a different device (PS4 [well obvious], PS3 [okay, that doesnt work perfectly], PSTV, and Laptop) Nope XBox controllers are far more comfortable. Asymmetrical sticks are best. I have loved Xbox controllers since the original Breadbox sized controller. And they've only gotten more comfortable over the years. I like both the PS4 and Xbox One controllers, but the Xbox One's won my heart because it is more responsive for the games I personally play. Both are good for 3D games and the PS4's triggers are thankfully less mushy (though less durable). When it comes to buttons and D-Pad though, the Xbox one destroys the PS4. The D-Pad is micro-switched instead of rubber domes and the buttons aren't as soft and mushy as the PS4's. So basically, 3-D games are great on both. 2D games are better on Xbox One, and triggers are better on PS4. not just the dpad but also the LR1 buttons have these microswitches, this is the only thing I DONT like with the x360 controllerI like it when you have a bit of depth in the button and I dunno about the domes but microswitches certainly can break, the L button of my good old DS doent really work for example. Domes do break, in fact more often than switches. Since they're a membrane, the contacts that are being pressed against each other can wear out (on the membrane or the PCB). They also can get mushier overtime, thus giving less resistance when pressed. Then they can also get sticky, which is the worst and most common problem with membranes from my experience. I had controllers (AND keyboard) whose buttons or keys would just stick and refused to de-press. Made some games almost unplayable. I personally love the micro-switched bumpers on the ONE/360 controller, but the 360's position is not that comfortable. But again, I'm that weirdo typing away on a keyboard with Cherry MX blues. Just got my Xbox one s couple days ago and that d-pad is an improvement, but still pretty bad. I got a mushy right on the d-pad with low sensitivity. Got to make sure I press it hard enough or it won't register. As for the other directions, they have a different level of clickyness. It feels really off. I've used a wired XBox 360 controller with an OTG cable for a couple different apps and even then, compatibility varies widely. One of my favorites, "The Bard's Tale" supports it perfectly, but they specifically added support for it. I think it comes down to each developer (each app) having the correct maps for each of the various controllers they want to support. So, give it some time. If you see this go on sale, go ahead and grab one. I'm sure popular apps/games will start to add compatibility as this becomes more known about. That's pretty much what the keylayout files do. Problem is, they are in the system partition, and cannot be updated without a system update or modifying the partition itself. TLDR This works great for emulators. No, it might work great for emulators once they have support for this controller or your emulator is very tweakable. oh they have a BT controller now? why didnt they do this from the start? BT is one of the most important reasons I use a DS4 on my Laptop. Maybe to sell the adapter, or maybe because they thought (or maybe actually does) that through wireless it worked better on xbox one and didn't care about other devices (their new controller can be used both as wireless and bluetooth) that's sad because I would love to have my dusk shadow controller with BT. but I personally dont like the D-pad and L1/r1 of the xbox which are just these clicky microbuttons, I like the ones from DS4 better where you get some actual depth, but for PC gaming sometimes game makers like to include xinput which just sux on so many levels. It doesn't really suck, though it did screw up less expensive controllers, it standardized controllers on PC games, which is more user-friendly. Also there are things such as ds4windows which allow you to emulate Xinput for your ps4 controller. direct input was already a standard way of connecting came controller hardware. also when you want to use joysticks and atuff for flight simulator then xinput wont really help you that much. also xinput is worse than direct input in every aspect. What I meant is that Xinput allowed the game to know which button is which, not requiring setting them up. yeah but this obviously kicks controllers with a different style (Joysticks, wheels, whatever) out espeically since some games kicked out remapping due to this. I personally prefer having to setup a small set of buttons rather than having my freedom taken away. Seems that sony will release an usb adapter for PC and Mac, it'll probably be compatible with Xinput games. I saw this stick and honestly, it SUCKS. I have a DS4 because it doesnt need a stick. also they didnt say anything about whether it will be compatible with ANY PC games but the stick is mostly for remote play and PS Now on PC without having to use a cord, because at least Remote play doesnt like a BT connected DS4. well They didnt say anything about ANY compatibility with other games and stuff, but I hade this adapter junk. Btw, a better ps4 controller support has been added in steam. latency. see my comments in the thread. I'll add that LE is still a fairly immature market. how is low energy related to latency? well small fun fact I never had any latency problems with my DS4 Army on neither PS3 PS4 PSTV or Laptop. understandable why you'd say that. because LE BT implementation is a 'from the ground up' design, and not layered on top the entire classic BT stack inheriting baggage since 1.0. also because in it's design LE means that devices may be frequently disconnected to get radio power savings, so reconnection latency (and so forth for the internal payloads) is lower to achieve the performance goals. as i said 'over there' in the other comment, i think PS controllers do some 'other stuff' to also solve this problem using the classic stack, but they lose a lot of compatibility in the process. XB engineering must've decided for a custom RF solution instead of a custom BT solution. LE wasn't an option yet, and neither had the intent of compatibility beyond their ecosystem. For this new controller which is designed for 'extra compatibility', I'd be interested in the considerations for adding BT support. for apple, bt le hid as a latency as low as 11.25ms android should be in the same ballpark, i think you'll find if you research that bt classic hid is about ten times that. bt classic 'ps custom controller' service is lower than classic hid too, i'm sure. android can do down to the 7.5ms range, btw (since kitkat). 7.5 ms is also the lower bound for BT HOGP (bt le hid) upper bound is 50ms, so even the worst implementation should be better than most bt classic setups. Maybe Google can fix the default mappings with a Play Services update? How about one with the proper dualshock stick layout? Either go third party(usb only though) or get a adapter for PlayStation controllers. Alot of people perfer it but it also seems to be one of the devides between ps vs xbox(most of my friends switched from 360 and would rather have that ) 360 in nice but the wrost for fighting games, dualshocks ergonomy can adapt to every genere. Personal opinion, ive always played claw style and perfer the xbox controller. Also its moot since if im not playing with a friend i usually perfer to just my arcade pad and play on pc. Neither console can compare to haveing a joystick and the ability to have one hand on all the buttons at once. I agree, arcade pads are out of league, but we were talking about joypads.. But as stated i prefer the xbox controller myself(mainly because im use to it/and its not a huge issue because of how i hold it(always have used claw even on ps1)) though i acknowledge most perfer the ps controller for fighting/platform games same as most prefer the xbox controller for fps/racing games(side note if sony could just make good triggers(they have had 5 chances to do so)most probably wouldn't care and thet would work way better in racing and fighting games) Either go third party(usb only though) or get a adapter for PlayStation controllers. Alot of people perfer it but it also seems to be one of the devides between ps vs xbox(most of my friends switched from 360 and would rather have that ) Either go third party(usb only though) or get a adapter for PlayStation controllers.

The button numbers for generic HID game pads are different than for XBox game pads. Something like the Steel Series controller maps button 1 to the top of the diamond, where the XBox 360 and XBox One map button 1 to the bottom. I'm actually glad it doesn't work with the Shield TV because I JUST sold mine last month in large part because of the lack of a decent controller. So I would have been pissed if suddenly the good standard of wireless controllers started working with it. What are you talking about? You can use Logitech controllers, Sony's Dualshock 4, Dualshock 3, Xbox 360 controller. Unless the Xbox One controller the only one you consider "decent"? The Sony controllers required a lot of fiddling that I wasn't interested in. And the Logitech controller? You're joking right? Regardless, I tried several options, but found them all lacking. Looks like they are adding support in the next update, so. Be pissed? Anyhow im rooted so i just adapted the keylayout to use the xbox 360 layout worked well for me. Why would they suddenly add support for a Bluetooth Xbox controller when they have yet to add official support for the DS4? I made my controller work pretty much perfect on my tablet (needs root). First you update the controllers firmware using a Xbox or a Windows 10 with the Xbox accessories app (for me it only worked with the anniversary update). The second step is copying a new keylayout to /system/use/keylayout. Thanks for the info about the firmware update. Was trying it on my Shield Tablet some months ago to no avail. So I probably give it another shot. Are you going to submit a patch to Android? There is an issue in the bugtracker: Works beautifully, thanks for this. Was about to give up on using this controller on my tablet until I found this. Luckily I was already rooted for Sixaxxis controller. I wish the new X1 came in black. White controllers get dirty really quickly. Wait till 2tb version sells out likely they will switch to black even if dont controllers will have other color options. Still rocking this setup. Nexus 9 with wired XBox controller, using an OTG dongle. Works great for everything! someone fixed it with a key layout file here. The controler is brand new and aosp hasn't had any chance to add a proper keylayout that will come but likely not till the second nougat update. It's just a wrong mapping input, a software problem. Within a week, I'll find a zip patch on XDA, I bet. Problem solved. Maybe android not has xbox one controller keylayout, but you can do it easy (if you have root access, you find it on /system/usr/keylayout). I did it with cheap chiniese controller (which absolutely not worked with android) and now it's perfect. I think the best solution at the moment is: Bought one of these yesterday to use with a Gear VR, turns out it doesn't work so well. Like you say, connects fine but the button mapping is all over the place. I was trying to play Oculus Arcade and the 'select' (back) button wasn't mapped correctly, and the face buttons were all mixed up (A and B were correct, but Y was X and LB was Y). I've been playing games in my PC using a wired controller but I always wanted to buy Xbox controller mostly due incompatibilities with the PC games. I'm always struggling with mapping controllers on PC games and I have to use Xpadder very often, but after reading this article I'm feeling more enthusiastic to buy a Xbox controller because obvious reasons, Using the same controller for my PC and Phone? It's a not brainier. My ps4 controller works no problem. juat pair it and done. The main problem is when you think a game will be perfect for controller and they don't support controllers lolz. In all fairness, BT is listed as Win10 exclusive. What we need is linux kernel drivers. That's all. It is more like app support problem for the controller mentioned (custom remote protocol commands rather than the Bluetooth HID itself). Asphalt 8 works great with Sony DUAL SHOCK 4 wireless gamepad controller over Bluetooth using Sony xperia Z ultra. Of course, the Sony gamepad works well with PC games like NFS Most Wanted. What I don't get is why is it that Microsoft and Sony is not using standard Bluetooth 4.0 I just don't get it they are using their own Bluetooth technology which is not standard which therefore it will not be compatible with your Android or iOS device I am not surprised this is all just an attempt to make you buy their product strictly for Microsoft and Sony even if you try to use it on Android and iOS it won't work properly it's not standard Microsoft and Sony could have used the standardized Bluetooth 4.0 that has been used for two decades on Bluetooth headphones and Bluetooth controllers made for Android and iOS Microsoft and Sony is not going to be popular or get money if they try to force people to purchase the new Xbox One bluetooth enabled controller specifically for Microsoft products I am not even going to waste my time purchasing Xbox One or Xbox 360 controllers for Android or iOS you are better off with either Moga controllers or ipega controllers these controllers are the best out of all of them hands down. You need to configure the/a .keylayout file in your Android system. This is what maps each key code to the proper Android action for every controller that the device has a driver for. As the USB Xbox one controller does not work at all on my Shield Tablet I guess the Bluetooth version has a chance. Head over to XDA for .keylayout file information. You can probably reuse the Xbox 360 configuration file to a certain degree. Still has the broken trigger(s) like on windows 10. The AxisZ+, AxisZ-, AxisZR+, and AxisZR- all merge into AxisZ and always active making custom mapping almost impossible. (to fix this on win10 you install the win7/8 driver and reboot). bt stack on this controller is 'classic' or LE? 'classic' latency sucks for gaming. Doesn't LE have more latency? 10ms in some regards. LE gaming controllers are very rare, though, and will continue to be so I think since consumer's aren't aware of the difference to the point of manufacter's betting on the tech for new implementations. it is the difference between workable and not, IMO. since you're talking about roughly a 7 vs 1 frame delay depending on which. madcatz produced an extremely small number of LE controllers around the time of the MOJO, but i don't think they sold well for other reasons. Nvidia side-stepped the issue with wi-di, but that isn't a standard. XB360 used RF setup (i think the xbone is pretty much the same); Shrug on how the newer PS controllers work, I believe it is a bluetooth transport, but they are munging it a bit to cut down on latency of normal BT HID - I know know they require special stuff to setup and pair. (S7 with gear VR) "Jump" on my s7 even showed the Xbox one layout & worked great also a zombie game but "Arcade" will not let the start or select buttons work! Needs updating. A new update for the controller is out. You can update through the Xbox Accessories app on Windows 10 or in the Xbox ONE settings with a USB Cable. The update number is 3.1.1215.0. As of this update, my Xbox One controller now works natively with Android, and most importantly my galaxy S7 over Bluetooth now and I can navigate through the home screen and other applications, as well as have correct mappings for games and emulators. Hope this is helpful. Will add later if it works with Gear VR 2016 Edition later. Hello, i dont know why but here the latest version avaible is the 2.3.2385.0, do you have an idea? I have version 3.1.1215.0 for the Bluetooth Xbox One controller and the mappings are all over the place (as the author described) using AndroidTV. Did you do anything else? Thanks. Soo. Let me get this straight, It's a new updated controller? I have an Xbox One controller I bought for PC use shortly after the console was released and it has the little button at the top to Scan, But it's not appearing in my phones Bluetooth menu. Do I not have the compatible version of the controller? You see the same mapping issue with some older games in windows. The workaround for the PC is a simple registry change. (Renaming it to identify as a 360 controller). Don't know much about android but that's a place to start. I'm not sure when or how the controller software updates are pushed via the Xbox Accessories app, but as of a recent update, most games I have tried (on AndroidTV) have proper button mappings now (including Sword of Xolan and The Walking Dead seasons 1 and 2). My one major gripe is that the bluetooth pairing needs to be redone after a period of time of the controller being turned off. hello, can someone please tell me if you can use bluetooth headphones on this controller? The problem is not the controller but the apps itself. Minecraft PE's new update supports this controller but it's probably the only game that does do far. Too bad the Xbox Elite Controller doesn't have Bluetooth because if it did you could use the Xbox accessories app on Xbox one or windows 10 and remap the buttons. Then you could save that configuration to the controller. Hey I wanted to know if anybody knows the solution to this problem. Their is a small bug with the update on the controller and I can't connect with it anymore. It worked fine before I connected it. Now it shows me a text saying that it doesn't have the correct pin to connect to it. Is it just me and how do I fix it? same. keep me updated. "wrong pin or passkey" every time i try to connect it to my android phone i get an error saying "wrong pin or passkey". i just got the xbox one s and the phone for christmas. i'm a bit of an achievement hunter i have minecraft on xbox 360/xbox one, windows 10 and on my phone. but doing anything on minecraft on my phone is hard and i cant play without the controller but wont pair. After latest (probably December one) firmware update, this controller doesn't pair with CM13 or CM14 at all, pointing out a PIN error (how the hell one could change that?). Also, doesn't even show firmware version in Xbox Accessories app anymore. Doesn't work with any firmware it seems. Microsoft bricked their own fucking controller. It looks like firmware updates from Microsoft to the controller have improved things and xbox.com even lists official Android support. It only works officially over Bluetooth, using USB or the dongle still aren't plug and play. Using with BT on Android still has some quirks, but at least it is heading in the right direction and it is coming from the Microsoft side and not having to wait for say updated drivers in newer versions of Android. Hello. Can i use this controller for my HTC phone? I need some program to use it or not? Android games suck. Since it's such a popular BT controller, every game should support it properly. Just tested my new XBox One BT controller with LG V10 (Android 6.0 and BT4.1, NO ROOT ). 100% working titles without buttons issues: MAME4Droid (you can also reconfigure buttons!) R-Type (1 e 2) and all other DotEmu games I'd say. Confirmed also that some do not work as expected (wrong buttons/directions) though. In short it depends on the game. Android OS does support it correctly but some games needs an update. there are apps that can change key mapping soo all the fuss isnt that big and there are some if u look good enough that can work without root. It will work on minecraft pe? Microsoft added controller compatibility on mcpe and key mapping. I don't understand why yours isn't working on the Shield TV. I been using my XB1 controllers on my Shield tablet and Shield TV for over a month with no issues. Follow Android Police. Latest Deals.

Good controller. I received this controller about a month ago and it works exactly as it should. It's a little bulky for smaller hands but it is still usable. Just try to use it while over a carpet just in case you drop it. When I received it I had to update it but it only took 1 min. I haven't tried using it with windows 10 yet so I don't know about that but Overall it's a great controller. I would definitely recommend purchasing it. One person found this helpful.
