How do I update the controller's firmware?

Can I use this controller with a wired connection?

Are the controller grips textured?

Yes, for enhanced comfort and control, the controller incorporates textured grips on the triggers, bumpers, and the back-case, providing a more secure and tactile feel during gameplay.

Troubleshooting

Controller won't turn on.

Check battery charge. Replace or recharge batteries as needed. Press and hold the Xbox button firmly for a few seconds to ensure it's not just a momentary press.

Controller won't pair with my device (Xbox, PC, Android).

Ensure the controller is in pairing mode (Xbox button flashing rapidly). Restart both the controller and the device you're trying to pair with. Clear existing Bluetooth connections on the device, then try pairing again. Confirm the device's Bluetooth is enabled and discoverable.

Buttons or joysticks are not responding correctly or feel sticky.

Gently clean around the affected buttons or joysticks with a soft, dry cloth or a cotton swab. Update the controller firmware via the Xbox Accessories app on an Xbox console or Windows PC. If the issue persists, consider a soft reset by removing and reinserting batteries or resetting via the Xbox Accessories app.

Audio through the 3.5mm jack is not working.

Verify that your headset is fully plugged into the controller's 3.5mm jack. Check the headset's volume settings and ensure it's not muted. Update the controller's firmware. Test the headset with another device to rule out a headset-specific problem.

Lag or dropped connection during gameplay on PC.

Ensure the controller is within close range of your PC. Reduce interference by moving other wireless devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other Bluetooth devices) away from your play area. Update controller firmware. For a more stable connection, consider using an Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows (sold separately) instead of standard Bluetooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Getting started with your Xbox Wireless Controller is straightforward. Follow these steps for optimal use and longevity.

Setup

  1. Power On: Ensure the controller has sufficient battery charge (if applicable). Press and hold the Xbox button to turn it on.
  2. Pairing with Xbox Series X: Turn on your Xbox console. Press and hold the Pair button on the top of the controller until the Xbox button starts flashing rapidly. Simultaneously, press the Pair button on your Xbox console. The Xbox button on the controller will become solid when connected.
  3. Pairing with Windows PC (Wireless): Ensure your PC has Bluetooth enabled. On your PC, navigate to `Settings` > `Devices` > `Bluetooth & other devices` > `Add Bluetooth or other device` > `Bluetooth`. Press and hold the Pair button on the controller until the Xbox button flashes rapidly. Select the controller from the list of available devices on your PC.
  4. Pairing with Android Devices: Enable Bluetooth on your Android device. Press and hold the Pair button on the controller until the Xbox button flashes rapidly. Select the controller from your device's Bluetooth settings to pair.

  • PCs: Windows 10/11 PCs with Bluetooth capability or an Xbox Wireless Adapter (sold separately) for enhanced performance.
  • Mobile: Android devices running compatible operating systems (Bluetooth required).

Care

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the controller's surfaces. For textured areas or crevices, a cotton swab can be lightly dampened with water or isopropyl alcohol (ensure it's nearly dry before use) and carefully applied. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Storage: Store your controller in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive humidity. This helps preserve its internal components and external finish.
  3. Handling: Avoid dropping the controller or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage internal circuitry and external components. Do not attempt to open the controller, as this may void any warranty.
  4. Battery Management: If your controller uses disposable batteries, remove them if you plan not to use the controller for an extended period to prevent potential leakage. If using a rechargeable battery pack, follow the manufacturer's charging guidelines to maximize battery life.
