PC Gamer. Getting rid of the dongle. Microsoft is making several improvements to its Xbox One controller, our go-to gamepad for titles that aren't as well suited for mouse and keyboard input, which will ship with the Xbox One S due out in August. One of those improvements is the addition of Bluetooth support (along with Wi-Fi Direct) so you can ditch the dongle when connecting it to your desktop PC or laptop. It's not a game changer by any means, but not having to buy a wireless dongle from Microsoft means you can save a few bucks if that's the controller you're after. The only caveat is if the device you're attempting to connect it to needs to have built-in Bluetooth, but that's pretty common these days. Why wasn't Bluetooth included in the original Xbox One controller? Microsoft boss Phil Spencer attempted to answer that question at E3. "Yeah, the reason we didn’t do this previously—again, trying to be transparent with it—you know, Bluetooth is great, one controller to one PC. Obviously in a console experience we support four or five people connecting at the same time," Spencer explained to PC Gamer. "For the PC experience I think Bluetooth is great. I still think Xbox Wireless for the console experience is the right way to go, which is why we put both antennas in there," he continued. "But yeah, that same controller that comes with the Xbox One S or the custom controllers that people are building … so those are Bluetooth as well. So they’re Bluetooth and Xbox Wireless. And we specifically designed it so you can have one controller that you take back and forth from your console to your PC." So uh, there you have it, or something. Spencer was a little more articulate when speaking with Larry Hryb, otherwise known as Major Nelson. He starts talking about the Xbox One S controller at the 1m:23s mark in the following video: In addition to better wireless connectivity, the revised Xbox One controller has textured grips and a new thumbstick design that's supposed to improve accuracy and significantly reduce the amount of wear. You'll be able to buy the controller by itself for $60, presumably at the same time the Xbox One S comes out. Recommended. You cannot keep ships you steal in Star Citizen, Cloud Imperium Games says.

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. One Night in Karazhan, Hearthstone’s latest expansion, is out. Next Story. [Deal Alert] New 32GB Nexus 5X on sale for $229.99 via Groupon after first-time customer coupon. [Update: Downloads posted] OnePlus 5 OTA for Oxygen OS 5.0/Android 8.0 Oreo has started rolling out. Google adds Android TV Home and Core Services to the Play Store. 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. Was kind of hoping the new Xbox one controller would be an ideal replacement to work with all my Android devices.. Guess not, bummer. Steel series stratus xl. Trust me it's really good. 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.

You can only connect one Xbox One S controller to a Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth. In typical Microsoft fashion, the company takes one step forward, but takes two steps back. While we know the Xbox One S controller is capable of connecting to a PC via Bluetooth, as well as how to set it up, Microsoft has yet to publicly disclose if there are any limitations. Today, we’ve learned there is a limitation to the Bluetooth feature on the Xbox One S controller, and it’ll affect fans of couch co-op or party games the most as only one controller can be connected to a Windows 10 PC at a time using this method. During our time with the Xbox One S controller, we ran into some issues connecting multiple controllers via Bluetooth. After conducting some research, we discovered this is a limitation Microsoft has purposely implemented in Windows 10. According to the “How to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC” support page, only one Xbox One S controller can connect to a Windows 10 PC with the controller needing to support Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. If you want to connect more than one Xbox One S controller to your Windows 10 PC, you’re going to have to purchase the new Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. The adapter supports either eight Xbox One wireless controllers, four Xbox One wireless controllers and Xbox Chat Headset, or two Xbox One wireless controllers and Xbox Stereo Headset. While Microsoft took a step in the right direction as it finally allows consumers to use their Xbox One controller on their Windows PC wirelessly, in typical fashion, it took two steps back by limiting how many can be connected via Bluetooth. Meanwhile, those who figured out how to connect DualShock 4 controllers to their Windows 10 PC have been enjoying it, especially since you can connect multiple controllers without any sort of limitations.

How To Connect An Xbox One Controller to PC via Bluetooth. guide. You have an Xbox One controller, but no wireless dongle. Don't worry. You can now connect your controller to your PC via Bluetooth. Here's how! Shortly after the reveal of the Xbox One S, we learned the new Xbox One controller that ships with the console is capable of connecting to a PC without having to own an adapter. That’s because the Xbox One S controller features Bluetooth support, in addition to an improved wireless transmitter. But how can you connect your Xbox One S controller to your PC via Bluetooth? It’s actually much easier than you would think. Let’s Make a Connection. Prior to attempting to connect the Xbox One S controller to your PC via Bluetooth, make sure you put your batteries in and it’s able to power up. We can’t tell you how many times we’ve heard reports of people complaining they can’t connect their Xbox One to their console, or PC, to only it didn’t have batteries. OK - now that your controller is powered up, hold the Xbox One’s Wireless Enrollment button, which is located towards its top above the Xbox button, but over a bit to the left. Hold the Wireless Enrollment button for about three seconds, which will result in the Xbox button to begin pulsating. This means the controller is searching for a console or PC to connect to. While the controller’s light is pulsating, go to your computer and click on Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth. Once there, your PC will search for a new Bluetooth device. Your Xbox One S controller won’t pop up immediately as it will first be searching for an Xbox One or PC with a wireless adapter to connect to. Once it doesn’t sense either of those, its Bluetooth will kick in, which will allow it to become visible to your computer. Click on the Xbox One S controller that pops up, click on the “Pair” button, and then wait a few moments for it to connect to your PC. Bluetooth Activated! Congratulations! You now have connected your Xbox One S controller to your PC via Bluetooth. Sure - Microsoft’s official wireless dongle may offer a better experience considering it’s its own proprietary wireless connection, but it also costs $25 bucks and the use of a precious USB port to use. We know a Bluetooth connection can sometimes be finicky if there are too many wireless signals within a particular area, but in our experience, we haven’t had any issues connecting the Xbox One S controller to our PC. If for some reason you’re having issues keeping a steady connection between your Xbox One S controller and your PC, you might want to consider either Microsoft’s official wireless adapter or just sucking it up and play your games tethered to a USB cable.

Follow him on Twitter to read his ramblings on video games, anime, and technology. Hands-on with Microsoft’s new Xbox One controller: Bluetooth, better grip, and improved thumbsticks. Above: The new Xbox One controller has a suite of improvements. Microsoft is now on the third revision of its standard Xbox One controller, and it’s a noticeable improvement. The company revealed the gamepad during its media briefing prior to the Electronic Entertainment Expo tradeshow in Los Angeles, and GamesBeat went used it while playing Gears of War 4. While I noticed a few obvious improvements, Microsoft claims the device, which is still $60, packs a few hidden bonuses that makes it even better than the 2015 revision that introduced the built-in 3.5mm headphone jack. Let’s break down what’s new. One of the most surprising things I learned about the new controller is that it has Bluetooth support. The Xbox company has always tied down its wireless accessories to a proprietary communication protocol, and that means you can’t easily connect it to other devices without buying something extra. You need the Xbox One Wireless Adapter to connect your Xbox One Elite Controller to a PC without a USB cord. But now, with Bluetooth, you can connect it to anything that supports that wireless standard and doesn’t have any restrictions (though I doubt that it would work with a PlayStation 4). Textured grip. While I didn’t notice the Bluetooth, I couldn’t miss the added texture on the back of the controller. This is a new kind of plastic for the Xbox One device, and it helps you grip the controller. While the controller the Xbox One launched with has a smooth feeling material that slips your grip, the new one sits firmly in your hands. The plastic grabs the meat of your palm and inner knuckles in a satisfying manner. Id doesn’t feel as great as the Elite (which is the best controller I’ve ever used), but it’s a significant improvement over what Microsoft has done before with its $60 gamepad. New thumbsticks. The new thumbstick is another thing I noticed. It has a smoother motion, and a Microsoft spokesperson explained that it won’t wear down over time. You can rotate it over and over for thousands of cycles, and it should work the same as the first day you bought it. Increased range. Finally, the controller has an increased range. Microsoft is hesitant about making direct claims how far away the gamepad can be to still work with the Xbox One, but it said it will work from 12 meters away (nearly 40 feet) in an empty space. But it was adamant that you shouldn’t expect that kind of performance. Smart iteration. Microsoft has put a lot of effort into improving the quality of its controller after getting off to a rough start with the Xbox One launch version. That gamepad had mushy bumper buttons and sticks that didn’t have enough tension. The company fixed that in 2015 with the update to the 3.5mm revision, but it’s smart that it is continuing to evolve its input device — especially building on top of everything it has learned making the Elite. How to pair a wireless Xbox controller with your Xbox One, Xbox One S or Windows 10 computer. Microsoft has a bunch of different controller configurations available for the Xbox One line at the moment. There's the high-powered Xbox One Elite Controller, the refreshed Xbox One standard controller with 3.5mm audio jack, and the all-new Xbox One S controller with textured grips and Bluetooth. Whichever controller you decide to pick up for your Xbox One, here's a quick and handy guide on how to pair them to your console. How to pair an Xbox wireless controller with your Xbox One. Hold the Xbox button on the controll to turn it on. Press and hold the pairing button on your controller until the Xbox logo starts flashing. The button is situated on top of the controller next to the micro-USB port. Press the pairing button on your console until the power button starts flashing. The photographs below illustrate the location of the pairing button on the Xbox One and Xbox One S. This should pair the controller. Once paired, the lights should turn solid. Note: You can also pair the Xbox One controller to your console by connecting it to the Xbox using a micro-USB to USB charging cable. How to pair a Bluetooth Xbox controller with your Windows 10 PC. If you have a controller from the Xbox Design Lab or the one bundled with the Xbox One S, it will have Bluetooth support. Here's how you pair it to a Windows 10 PC that supports Bluetooth. Open the Start Menu . Open Settings . Click on Devices . Click on Bluetooth . Your computer will start scanning for nearby Bluetooth devices. Press and hold the Xbox button on your controller to turn it on. Hold the pairing button on your controller . It can be found at the top of the Xbox One controller next to the USB port. After a short time the controller will appear in the available Bluetooth devices on your computer. Click on Pair . You computer will pair with the controller and you'll be ready to go. How to pair an Xbox controller with your Windows 10 PC using the Xbox Wireless Adapter. If you don't have the Xbox One controller with Bluetooth, you can purchase the Xbox Wireless Adapter that's compatible with any Windows 10 device and the standard Xbox One controller. Here's how to pair those. Plug the Xbox Wireless Adapter USB dongle into your PC. It should automatically download and install the necessary drivers. Press and hold the Xbox button on your controller to turn it on. Hold the pairing button on your controller . It can be found at the top of the Xbox One controller next to the USB port. Hold the pairing button on the USB adapter (it is located on the upper side of the dongle). The adapter's lights should flash and then turn solid, pairing the controller to your PC.

Microsoft's Xbox controllers are some of the best on the market, and there are all sorts of options for customization and more. Here's a few links you might find interesting. 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 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.
