How to Connect your XBOX Controller to PC (Wireless Pairing)

You can wirelessly connect an Xbox controller to a PC either via Bluetooth (for compatible controllers) or an Xbox Wireless Adapter, providing full remote gaming capability without cables.

Step 1 — Check Compatibility
Ensure your PC runs Windows 10 (Anniversary Update or later) or Windows 11 for the best support and driver compatibility

Confirm your Xbox controller supports wireless connection: most Xbox One S, Xbox Series X/S, and Elite Series 2 controllers support Bluetooth, while all modern controllers can use the Xbox Wireless Adapter

Step 2 — Using Bluetooth
Power on the controller: Press the Xbox button until it lights up

Enter pairing mode: Press and hold the Pair button on the controller (small button near the USB port or top edge) for about 3 seconds until the Xbox button flashes rapidly

Enable Bluetooth on PC: Go to Settings Bluetooth & devices and toggle Bluetooth ON

Add the controller: Click Add device Bluetooth, then select Xbox Wireless Controller from the list

Once paired, the Xbox button will stay lit, indicating a successful connection. Keep the controller within 30 feet for stable performance

Notes for Bluetooth:
Only modern controllers support Bluetooth; older models are not compatible.
Some features, such as headset audio or vibration, may not work over Bluetooth

Bluetooth has slightly higher latency compared to the Xbox Wireless Adapter

Step 3 — Using the Xbox Wireless Adapter
Plug in the adapter: Insert the official Xbox Wireless Adapter into a USB 3.0 port on your PC
