Xbox controller wont connect help

[alexfer84]

I've tried to connect my Xbox controller multiple times. i connect it, its vibrates, then it doesn't work and it still controls the Xbox. before anyopne asks yes i connect it to the top plug not the battery pack

 

 

 

edit: I apologies for the lack of information. connecting to pc, Xbox 1 controller thats all i know abt the controller

Connecting the Xbox Controller to what?  What model Xbox controller from what console?

 

Easiest would be to unplug the console first, then attempt pairing with the PC.

Series S/X controller? Trash controllers. I own the 20th Ann edition and will be selling it Monday, runs out of battery power within 3 hours on high end batteries and yes random disconnection using the official dongle.

Bought an 8BitDo Ultimate.

Bought an 8BitDo Pro 2.

Super unhelpful to the question at hand.

make sure it's a data cable you are using, and not a charge only cable, unless you are talking about s/x controller with type-c.

I won't deny that 8bitDo does make a fine controller though.

if you have an android phone, or tablet, check and see if the pc recognizes it. data cables tend to be thicker than power only cables as well, so if it's really thin, might be power only.
