Do not leave batteries in the AA battery holder when it is not installed in the controller. Before you can use your Xbox Wireless Controller with your Xbox console, you need to:. For best performance, AA rechargeable batteries are not recommended. Before boarding any aircraft or packing the wireless controller in luggage that will be checked, remove any batteries from the wireless controller. The wireless controller can transmit radio frequency RF energy, much like a cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed.

Up to four controllers, wired and wireless, can be actively connected to a console at one time. Each connected controller gets a quadrant on the Ring of Light. Before you can connect a wireless controller, at least one quadrant must be free unlit. To disconnect a controller, remove the battery pack from a connected wireless controller or disconnect a wired controller cable connector.

Overall Review: The build quality on these controllers is better than the launch-era wired controllers. The receiver is kinda junk though. But if yours breaks, electrical tape and tinfoil is all I used my soldering iron is packed away due to a pending move. Good luck. Cons: drivers had a hard time to install and didnt work at first but i knew how tag the driver to the controller the way to do it is listed in "other thoughts". Pros: Worked right out of the box, pretty much plug and play.

I've never had any problems using mine, games that support controllers recognize it. Use Pinnacle Game Profiler for older games. Overall Review: If you have a , there is really no difference than the wireless controllers you have already. You just need the dongle to connect to your PC, so save yourself some money if you can find that separately. I didn't know that going in but I don't regret buying because I wanted a new controller anyway. I've synced my other controllers that I used for my to my PC when my sons and I play multi-player games, they all work like a charm.
