Why does not connect my Xbox 360 controller wireless PC adapter?

I have problems connecting my Xbox 360 controller to my PC with a wireless adapter.

Before answer you with the usual stock answers, please listen to my story:
1. I had originally a gamepad Xbox 360 official provided with official Microsoft wireless adapter to PC.  It works beautifully.
2. I wanted to connect three controllers in addition to my PC so I ordered several PC off Amazon wireless adapters.
3. it has proved to be the knockoff versions.  http://www.Amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-gaming-receiver-Windows/DP/B000HZFCT2  
4. I followed the instructions and others have posted to get my knockoff adapters to recognize controllers.
5. However, there was a problem.  After having successfully obtained knockoff adapters to work, the original adapter did not work.
6. I could get the original works again (can't remember how), but then wouldn't the imitations.  Looks like I might have one or the other.
7. I am frustrated trying to get both to work while I have through imitations away and ordered three officials of Microsoft wireless adapter PC
8. now, none of them will connect.  Not the official original adapter or new official adapters.
9. I tried to reinstall the software.  Remove all software associated with the imitations.  All I could think about.
10. I suspect that they do not work due to some residual software by imitations, but I can not understand how to fix it

  • Publisher cannot connect XBOX 360 controller wireless receiver PC on Windows 7.

    I can't connect a XBOX 360 controller to my PC with the receiver wireless on Windows 7 (64-bit). I have correctly installed the driver, and the wireless receiver is recognized by the PC. The problem occurs when I try to connect the controller to the receiver, as do not connect or recognize each other. I press the Connect button on the receiver, then the light starts flashing. I then press and hold the connection button on my controller, which makes the quadrants "search for", but they quickly cease, and instead assign a specific quadrant, all quadrants begin to Flash instead, as before. Nothing seems to work, I have tried to unplug all other USB devices and wireless, connecting the receiver to different USB ports and change the batteries. What should I do now?

  • How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc

    How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc

    Hello!

    I made a small application for this! It is called XboxExt (Manager of the Xbox 360 controller). There is no way to disable the controller in a failure to properly on PC. With the Games Games for Windows Live you can press the GUIDE button on your controller, and you can turn it off.
    So my app is doing the same thing, but not only with Games for Windows Live games. So you can use it anywhere, anytime.

    Not sure if this will help. Here and all over the web search will show that you mixed results.

    Try this download. I have a new Macbook Pro El Capitan 10.11.3 running. Just installed this to use my old Xbox 360 wired controllers USB to play Lego games. Despite the mixed reviews, this seems to have worked perfectly and actually gives you an ability to customize the controller.

    Al https://github.com/360Controller/360Controller/releases/tag/v0.15_beta5_unoffici

    NOTES:

    (1) it is Beta version 5; newer than all the other versions of this utility I saw reviewed about the feature. You may need a different version because your version of iOS, but I'm not an expert here.

    (2) once installed and the computer restarts, you will find the utility as a new icon in the system preferences (the gear in your dock icon, probably), not applications, utilities, etc.

  • Computer laptop Windows 7 does not detect my Xbox 360

    Recently, I bought my used console. My laptop's overview of Windows 8 consumers. Although I didn't have the Media Center option, my Xbox could detect and stream my music, videos and photos from my PC. I've recently returned to Windows 7because the license of Windows 8 has been set to expire January 15. Now, for some reason unknown, my Xbox does not detect my PC or my PC detects my Xbox as an Extender in Media center. I tried everything I could think of and the instructions I found on the Xbox site, nothing done. Before I posted this, I also tried things left to people with similar problems in the answers in this forum. I tried manually assign the IP addresses of my two Xbox and PC, disabling my Windows and the firewall of the router, restart Windows Media Player sharing service, allowing the streaming on my Xbox which appeared in my streaming options, disconnect and reconnect my Xbox and PC on my network of countless times and shout and scream about the whole situation.

    I tried not to open the ports because that I have disabled any firewall that I don't see. I have McAfee installed, but my subscription has expired so I uninstalled. I am at a loss for what to do because I tried everything I read and thought. We have 4 PC in our House and everyone but mine my console can detect and disseminate. Three of the four run Windows 7 Home Premium x 64, the 4th with Vista 32 bit. All the computers are on the same network and all. I tried ping my Xbox to my PC and it timed out every time, but my PC does not detect it in a way because it shows in my options on my PC for streaming media. There must be something with my PC and Windows 7 only because like I said before, everything has worked at the time where it ran Windows 8. Anyone can end this madness?

    Never mind. I thought about it. I restarted the SSDP Discovery service that restarted the services necessary to make this work.

    Hello Zacharymisb.

    First of all, make sure that the controller works in Windows.  You can do this by clicking on start-> game controllers by typing in the box start searching and choosing set of USB game controllers.  If its installed, the controller will be listed in there, and you can click Advanced to ensure that the keys are being dedicated.

    If it works there, but not in your game then its possible that the game does not support the controllers (most games expect a keyboard and a mouse), or you need to activate it in the options.  It would be useful to mention the game, with which you experience problems.

    If it doesn't work, can you confirm that the controller and the wireless receiver is correctly synchronized, you can synchronize them by pressing the sync button on the controller (on top of the controller on the left) and the button on the wireless receiver itself.

  • This computer does not have an installed or configured wireless network adapter

    I know that this has been answered because another user had the same problem, but my laptop has the switch wireless on but the light is orange instead of blue.
    My nvidia driver also said that it is working properly. I have Windows Vista 32 bit.
    This happened the day after and I really don't understand what is the problem and I'm tired to connect to the internet via the Ethernet cable. A little stupid to pay for internet and wireless router if I can't use it.
    Please help me.

    Hi keren_maro,

    The other user having the same problem had a broken wireless switch.  The only solution for this is to contact the manufacturer of your laptop and the switch replaced.

    Click Start, then type cmd and press ENTER.  Type ipconfig/all.  Under the heading of your wireless connection, it does not say "Media disconnected"?

    The light remain the same color and turns off when you move the switch not?

    If the answer to these questions is 'Yes', then you will need to get your laptop repaired.

    If this is not the case, let us know.

  • My Windows XP laptop does not connect to my 2WIRE router wireless, but do my other laptops. It will only connect with the ethernet cable. What is the problem?

    What I'm doing.

    1. my laptop is a Toshiba XP

    What serial number and model of Toshiba?

    What type of encryption 2wire router uses for now? Type of WEP or WPA? If the latter do you know if your XP laptop wireless card supports WPA (some older cards only). If you find that this is the problem, you can go to the WEP encryption or buy a WPA compatible device to use instead of the current device on the XP laptop.

    If you don't know how to find this information...

    The range and the model are probably on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop.

    I think that there is a sticker on the side of 2wire routers (leastways are those provided by BT) gives you the encryption key and this might also state what is the type of encryption. Or, if not, open a web browser such as internet explore/firefox etc and go to http://gateway.2wire.net, somewhere on the router admin pages, you will find information on wireless security/encryption.

    Regarding the card laptop wireless, I can help with this if you give me the range and the model as requested above. I can, also, be able to determine from the description of the device in Device Manager. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER. Network adapters (click on +) and transcribe the wireless adapter that there are listed in a response to this post.
