Azoic Dwoz Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 i bought an xbox 360 USB controller for an SSMO gaming, the Controller sometimes connects and sometimes it doesn't. I have to move the wire around and put it in weird positions to get it to connect, this is my 2nd controler. the first one did the same. i thought it was broken so i got a new one and it's the same result. do i need to install a program that will enable the synchronizing of this controller onto my PC?

eddman Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 How about buying a genuine x360 controller? http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Controller-Windows/dp/B004QRKWLA/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the controller wiring is the issue. You stated that a new, second controller has the same problem; is that controller completely new (i.e., it has not been refurbished or used before?) Have you tried plugging the device in a different USB port? Finally, have you followed the instructions on Microsoft's Xbox support website? http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-other-devices/windows/xbox-controller-for-windows-help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted October 17, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted October 17, 2014 you either have 2 faulty cords or an issue with your usb port I've used rock candy controllers on windows with 0 issues as recently as a few months ago @ my friends house (we were playing starwales ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
