[X360] Wireless Gaming Receiver Issues


Recommended Posts

Ok, so I waited about 6 months for MS to make the Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver only to bring it home and have nightmares.

1st. when I opened the package and started cutting along the top (away from the product) someone thought it would be a good idea to snake the wire in a loop going vertical (top of package).

Back to the store to buy another after done cursing the sky!

Ok now this product has a issue that 50% of the people that buy it are having, after installation the you press the SYNC button on the PC Receiver and the controller, they find each other but fail to lock and take connection. This is even posted on the xbox forum with same issues.

My problem is the worst on this motherboard Asus A8N-SLI when i plug it into the USB Vista 64 finds it fine and says the correct name but ask for drivers.

As soon as you feed it the drivers it make my Logitech G7 stop working!!! it only does this when the driver is initialized though.

If i leave both plugged the computer starts my USB keyboard works but mouse dosent, unplug the receiver and the mouse still doesn't work. The only way it works if i start the computer without the 360 receiver. But sure enough if i plug it back in it kills the G7.

So i figure i would try the same in XP ... same issues

i have used the newest Xbox 360 wireless receiver drivers 1.1 and the issue still arises. This has been tested on other computers and its fine but its kills my mouse

Pro's:

Use 360 products on PC (If they sync and connect)

19.99

Con's

Finds each other but dosent connect

Kills Logitech G7

Packaging is OK but who ever snaked the wire needs to be hit with rocks

I have not been able to use this product once ! Im sure that will fix with updates but i seem to be the only one with a problem of getting my G7 frozen. Its like the drivers smash into each other.

Please help with this G7 issue as i think its a G7 and reciever issue and not the motherboard as my USB devices are still working just the G7 gets knocked out

ok if i start my computer with out the 360 wireless receiver plugged in its fine and if I plug it in after desktop showing they both work...

if its plugged in before that mouse initialization the mouse is kicked off and a replug in and out will not fix it

OK i have now bought new computer peices and built me a new Vista machine and somehow its the same problem

Built a Duo Core system with Striker extreme

Again, in Vista 32 or 64 & XP 32 or 64 if you have the mouse plugged in (Logitech G7) and the Xbox wireless gaming receiver before windows boot the driver for the wireless gaming receiver will initialize and the Logitech G7 is knocked out and will not function even after a unplug and re plug. but the mouse on my Dinovo Edge keyboard works so its not a mouse issue the wireless gaming reciever knocks out the logitech g7 for no reason...

BUT yet again if i boot and after desktop i plug in the wireless gaming receiver they both will work fine and play together

can someone with the Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver and logitech G7 please confirm this

anyone find any answers to this problem? and does it happen if your mouse is connected with ps/2 not usb? cause i use my ps/2 for my mouse and i have windows xp and im thinkin of getting it.

thanks

still not yet

this USB device knocks out all USB devices you have plugged in

some worse then others

Cant get mine to work unless i unplug both my G15 and Razer copperhead then boot windows. If I plug it in after windows boots the Copperhead stops functioning and the receiver won't sync. if i plug in the keyboard or mouse after the controllers are in sync after a windows boot the controllers will fall out of sync and I will get flashing 4 quardants on my 360 controller. What a waste of money. I got it so I could use my racing wheel in windows, but I guess not :(.

im trying to use the wireless headset with it and the audio lags really bad in skype, anyone seen a fix for that or am i doing something wrong. It connects to it fine and it appears in the sound devices and stuff, just kinda laggy.

or use an externally powered hub. that seemed to solve all my issues in the past with usb devices not functioning at the same time. (most boards seem to be underpowered for multiple usb devices.)

yea i know this a temp work around but this will happen with just a mouse and this device

if anything is plugged in while this is on it will do this...

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.

    • They have lots of info on me, I have a facebook account and have done so for years, it was the thing to have then. My phone number is not on it. I don't have the Facebook app on my phone these days, just the messenger part, and only for a couple of people to contact me, most will text me via SMS or phone. I agree, Meta, like others, even without an account will know something about me. Just have to try and keep some things private Also, never saw the need for Whatsapp, people used to ask for me to join it, but as I said to them, I have SMS and a phone, use that, or email
