![your Play & Charge kit might not be dead after you watch this video [Fix] [Xbox 360]](/img/1.gif)
You know? Buying that play and charge cord is the second dumbest thing I did tonight. The first dumbest thing is, following along before finding out the video is not a tutorial.
lmaoo
Same
shitt i didnt finish the video and like u i buy the cord for wireless
i too made a regretful ebay bid
It’s not
This video made me realise the value of question marks
same
Lol
For real man 😭
I was looking carefully because I thought bro was cooking
You've successfully trolled the entirety of the internet. Congraulations.
My dude, the guy was asking for help, he didn't troll anyone
I thought I was watching a tutorial on how to connect my controller to a PC
@@sirmj4399 me too xd bamboozled
yep
yep
Dude still trolling people 7 years later😂😂
2020 and i just spend like 3 hours on searching for the solution to this problem. God bless you guys, when i see all this coments i feel better XDDDDD
I want to buy the a cable like this for my controller but so far I have only seen bad things about it. Should I buy the cable or the wireless receiver
@@smeerdice405 This "play and charge kit" does not transmit data, it only charges. You will still need a wireless receiver if it's a wireless controller. Sorry, I'm in the same boat.
@@jedex7996 thanks man , been trying to work this out for a good hour now
@@jedex7996 nopes, i have used it on a laptop with win7 and i can play and charge, but on mi pc with win10 doesn't work

@The Street Fighter well you don’t need to be a dickhead about it
this videos is the best videos that teach me to read the comments before do any thing
I was watching the video and even downloaded everything you said only to find that you're the one that needs help.
This was hilariously frustrating at the end, I thought I was onto something, then you were all like. "please help me", then it sunk in that you either trolled, or forgot how to ask google.
same man i thought he was going to say please help me out by subscribing, i guess its just impossible :(
IM HERE TO GET HELPED NOT TO FUCKIN HELP WTF!!!!!!!!!!
I know right. Basically this kid is confusing the fuck out of everyone including himself
me to friend... me to
too* nerd
I openned this video to see how what should i do not to tell him what should he do!!!wtf!!
Xydary ur the nerd of ur correcting him
I've never had an Xbox and recently bought a wireless controller with a cord because I wanted to use to play PC games. Then when it didn't work I watched this video hoping for help. I feel really dumb today.
same ;-; it's such a misleading name for a product... play and charge kit??? more like CHARGE ONLY kit
JanJanNik you spitting facts
I'm here 6 years later, just realized that having that wire to connect the Xbox 360 controller to the PC doesn't mean it's a "wired controller"...the wire is meant to charge the controller while you play the games you want instead of having to use the 2A batteries...so it's still considered as "wireless controller", which means you still need the wireless receiver in order to connect the controller to the PC

@@zpstcomo lo uso?
@@jotaD202, ojo que este cable, además de cargar la batería que viene con el "kit carga y juega" que es su función principal, *también permite usar el mando sin baterías si lo tienes conectado al puerto USB de la Xbox 360* o a cualquier puerto USB, e incluso *te permite sincronizar el mando con la Xbox 360 en donde lo conectes* en vez hacerlo con el botoncito de emparejamiento del mando y de la consola; *PERO lo que NO permite es conectar el mando a la PC,* ya que la señal de los botones que presionas seguirán enviándose de forma inalámbrica, mas no por el cable, por lo que seguirás necesitando el adaptador inalámbrico de mandos de 360 para PC para usarlo.
@@krismagix1 Pero se podra cargar al menos conectado a la laptop presionando boton xbox? al menos lo quiero usar para dispositivo movil via bluetooth el mando xbox360
well the comments helped me i was trying to do the same thing. thanks guys
I don't know why they call this cable "2 in 1 Play and Charge Cable for Xbox 360 Wireless Controller". Its so misleading.
smeet pat because if you plug in your controller with a plug n charge without at battery pack into the wall like a phone charger the Xbox will just think the wireless controller has full battery.
smeet pat yes!
@@toddstark-gokey5774 I will begrudgingly agree to your point. As tenuous as it is.

Thanks cuz I really needed this cuz none of these online articles were doing me much favors ❤
Atleast the vid's 60FPS.
TO ANYONE WATCHING THE VIDEOThat is a POWER ONLY wire!That wire is only intended to be used to charge up the rechargeable battery packs inserted into your wireless controller. You will NEVER EVER be able to connect your wireless controller to your PC in a usable way using just that wire.Your controller is wireless, your PC does not have the right kind of receiver ability to talk to it. To fully use your wireless controller you will need a 360 receiver unit plugged into a USB port to translate the signal.There are lots of videos on youtube to help you do this.(You should have looked for this info before posting!)
yo can you link me a tutorial or tell me how to connect the controller to pc? i have a receiver and the plug and charge kit..pls thanks
So if it is a power wire or charging wire why is the pc detecting the joystick.
Why’s the quality better than real life?
It's because you can't use that cable for that. The cable is only to charge the controller it does not transmit so you can use its controls on a
system because it is a wireless controller. If you want to use a controller you will either need to buy a wired one or an Microsoft receiver adaptor .
but the cable works if you plug it in the console even if the battaries were removed
because the cable powers the controller, and the controller still communicates with the xbox wirelessly. All the USB charge and play cable does, is charge the controller, theres no data going across it. Thats why you can't use it on a PC
BOOM you owned it controllerception
If I'm not mistaken there's the original 360 controller and there's 360 controller for pc?
And this charger works for both?
Well, that sucks.
I wanted to use my official 360 controller rather than this barf green mini controller, oh well, at least I have something to use.
If you've stumbled here with this same problem like me, I've found the answer. The "play and charge kit" does not transmit data. It lets you charge while you play. So you cannot use it unless you also use the wireless receiver.
nice to know, almost threw my controller away thinking it wasn't working properly since I've never had any issues with my cable

men do you know how to charge the controllers whit the kit, i cant even charge my Xbox 360 controller whit my pc?
You need the drivers, just plugging in the cable won't do it, on my PC I've found that it "forgets" the driver and I have to reinstall it. I'm not sure where to get the drivers, I suggest looking around on RUclips for videos on 360 wireless controlers, I remember using a link from someones video to get mine.
I just realised I replyed to my own post instead of yours, I'm going to assume this message will notify you.
Just read my post above yours.
the cable i have says it doubles as a way to play games too without the battery packs am i good or do i stil need the adapter
its a PLAY and charge kit???
I think the play and charge kit is specially designed to charge xbox360's special battery pack (not the AA battery pack)
i think you have to get a wireless adapter because i dont think the charge cord will actually allow it to work as a wired controller i think it just basically registers it so it can charge. dont know for sure.
The charge cord only transmits power to the controller. data does not run through the cord. you will need a wired one or a Microsoft receiver.
Russell McCulloch the charge and play works on my Xbox but not my pc tho..
@@brody8647 since XBOX 360 can receive the signal from the controller when PC can not. there is no data transmission through the cable.
crap...
Hi the cord that you connected in the very beggining is the charger right?
I dont know if i set it up correctly but i used batteries on the controller and then ofcourse connected receiver unto my pc.
Im just worried if my battery runs out ( idont know if there is an indicator) i can plug thr chargrr right and it will recharge the battery?
The thing is you cannot connect Play n Charge kit to pc and use it since it only charges the controller.And if you want to connect it you will need Xbox reciever installed on your computer and connect it wirelessly.There's no other way around.
necesitará un receptor xbox instalado en su computadora y conéctelo
bro i just bought one
@@AnimationAirlines
just buy the receiver, the charging kit is better than battery either way
thats crazy because i just bought a new charge n play kit because the previous one broke but that worked fine. the new one doesnt wanna work for some reason
you just saved me a lot of time.
I just bought the Cables for it so i could play it on the PC and i waited for it, got it in the mail and then, Boom waste of money.
it took mine 2 months to come and boom waste of money
Same exact thing
me too Dx
That happen to me
Lt. DizzyNoodles u dub then lol
I know its late but, the charge and play kit only charges the controller, it doesn't send data
Lol it wouldn’t confuse people if it started with “How do I” and end with a question mark
my favorite part is when he plugs in the controller
same
great minds think alike... you'r a genius
so tense
And waits for like 30seconds
Lmfao
Your the man keep it simple yet necessary love you bro
@Tyron Mbatha bro read the comment i did below
The title should be "How to Connect xbox 360 controller to pc with play & charge kit?"
you need the wireless receiver as well, sucks but thats how they made it
To everyone saying that it's not designed to work that way. I had it working in exactky that way before I left for college. This was about 2 months ago on windows 7.
This is going to be a problem for years to come, you should record video of this claim.
Very helpful video thanks...
ok cool my laptop is restarting now
Thanks! it works for me dude :D
I was wasting hours trying to find a solution to the same problem. Didn't know the pc only saw that cable as a power source
Same shit bro 2020 XD

@@brsk620 i use batteries but it keeps blinking i have the same exact issue as the video i need help
@@jorasize so did it work w the cable??
Better late than never. You can't. You still need the wireless USB adapter. The charge cable only makes it easier to pair your device. With out the RF receiver no data is being sent/received between controller and PC.
thats weird because my old charge and play kit worked fine on pc but the new one doesnt.
Working like charm, even with hacked RF board from XBOX 360. Succesful paired with PC and working without cable. Thanks😁
wtf do you mean
I know this vid is old i made a mistake and bought this cable too but somehow it works without this battery back from behind but i cant actually move much because it disconnect i must be motionless and just click buttons xdxd
Never thought that such bad video would help me, ur the best man
that 60 fps tho.

@@Manok420 it can its a setting on ur phone
Okay guys so after a long time of research I discovered that you cannot connect your xbox controller with the play and charge kit, you have to get the controller directly with the usb wire or get the wireless adapter.
What USB wire??
The Play & Charge kit doesn't send data from the controller to the PC, it only does power. You will either need an actual wired Xbox 360 controller or get a wireless receiver that is compatible with the wireless Xbox 360 controller.
With the wire and the controller does the controller need to still have batteries?
guys i realy need help my pc recanizes my controller but its recanized as unspefifed and its name is Xbox 360 wirless controller via plug and play ect
The cable only provides power to the controller and does not allow the pc to use the controller. The best bet here is buy a wired xbox360 controller like device to play on or purchase the Xbox 360 wireless connect dongle.
listen bud, i had the same problem as you have but unfortunetly the reason it doesnt work is because the charge and play kit is for bluetooth. im afraid that if it doesnt work than it means u dont have bluetooth on ur pc. so i suggest buying an xbox one controller from stores like cex or game store.
I got 40 seconds into this, looked at the video's duration and said to myself, "If it takes nearly 5 minutes to connect a controller, I will not be playing with it"
Davin Lassiter it’s not a tutorial he’s asking how
that is, I understand that it is not possible to connect the pad from xbox360 to the computer through this cable, right?
with this play and charge kit you can connect the controller without wireless adapter?
no unfurtunatly not u still need wireless adapter
POV: It seems you'll be playing Dark Souls 2 with a mouse and keyboard after all
damn, 6 years later and this shits sill happening. Thanks for the vid though. Would been wasting hours of my time without this.
Hey what up man I just want to say I like your video it is a good way to teach us. So have a good day.

Say what?

Fucking disliking this.
this was super easy for me because i have the same cord, controller, driver, and the same exact computer and windows 10.
yep
Ayyy LMAO I'm glad I read the comments before. It's so bullshit that the play & charge kit wasn't made for playing on PC.
IF ANYWBODY IS WONDERING - this doesn't work. you need a wireless receiver, you can get them for 10 to 15 bucks. FYI the charge kit only connects to the battery, not the controller interface
Thanks, this proof that im not alone
Thx bro you helped me
Can the charging cable be used to connect the controller to the PC as well, or is it wireless only?
This comment is a year old, but i might as well answer it. No, the charging cable doesn't send data, so it cannot be used to connect your controller to a PC.
@@borle_osu That was tough.
Add my body to the pile. And this is 30 minutes after me and the clerk at the store I bought the cord both googling it and being like “I….think it’ll probably work?”
the kit charge and play doesnt is plug and play by usb wire !
remember it is a wireless controller not usb plugabble and unplugg to use as wireless controller just is plug and charge to unplug and only is the wireless controller to play
NOO! you made me restart my computer! now i have to take 10 mins loading up fortnite again :(
you need a wireless receiver in order for the controller to work, at this point i would recommend you to just buy a wired controller instaid.
I'm glad the comment section exists, because even with the downvotes removed. We can sus out if you're bullshit down below....
With the play and charge kit..it doesnt work for pc right. What if u own the one of the flashdrive mod adapters. Will it work. Using the play and charge kit to connect by usb. Mod adapters. Like (cronomax adapter/titan one adapter/brook wingman adapter.) Will those adapters make the play and charge kit cord work. I dont own the recharable battery but i bought the cords. So was wondering if that can work with adapters. I can bet you noone has tryed it yet. Social media let me know. Someone could try this who own those adapters for youtube.
I connect my controller to a toaster it works really good
can i use just the cable without the battery to connect it with the pc ?
why tf didn't he just talk
and everyone thought it was a "how to" video, indeed it was but he forgot to add a "?". Poor guy was just looking for help
so, it's work nicely right? we can charge the battery and play on pc.... so that i don't have to buy a damnAA battery everyday
how do i get the drivers please somone give me link if you can :)
Instead of using a wired set up with drivers and all that. Just order a wireless receiver and save all the hassle from having to download drivers. All you have to do with the wireless receiver is plug it in to your computer and connect the controller exactly how you would as if you were connecting it to an Xbox 360
where i live the receiver costs as muvh as a brand new ps4 controller
this is late 2022 and Like a fool I bought this Xbox360 charger kit thinking it'll transmit Signal to the PC but no , I wasted my 0.32$ on this wire because you need a reciever or a usb controller not the wireless model
you can't because this a charging cable to a USB cable buy a wireless receiver and you will be able to connect
THANKS
so you can play pc games using your xbox 360 controller?
if having problems u can use a wired controller
I don't think you can use the charge and play kit. you have to have a wired controller or a wireless adapter. I've been trying to get the charge and play kit to work myself and I've looked at a load of articles and they all say that it's not possible.
Yes but some of them can be used as controller but not all of them can be connected to a pc through the charging cable
+Naji Kh yea. if you have a charge and play kit, like me and you do, then it won't work. I use an xbox one controller for my pc because you can plug it in with the same charging wire that you use to charge an android phone
+redrage jimbok nooo, i mean there is a few play and charge kit xbox 360 controllers that can be used with pc through the charging cable
That's because you need something to map the controls with it.

Probably too late, since the video has more than 1 year, but did you managed to solve the problem? I had a similar problem. I was trying to charge the battery and it wasn't working, but I managed to solve the problem. Hit me back if you still need any help. ;)
Ricardo Pinto me! i need help
TheAee hey! Whats up? The way i got it working was to keep disconnecting and connecting the usb cable in the pc back until the red light just stays on. If the red light changes to green after a few seconds, you need to keep insisting. I had to disconnect and reconnect about 10 times.
Ricardo Pinto after you get the red light, does that mean you can use it alr?
TheAee ohhhh... You want to play with it on your PC? I meant charging. To use it in yoir PC, probably you need to get an wireless receptor for your PC.
Ricardo Pinto oh ok thankss
My man has the both NFS Most Wanted (2005) and (2012). Huge respect!
Seven years late, but here I put *the things that this cable allows to do* In case anyone is considering buying it:
*1. Charge the battery of the "Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit"* when it is put in the controller, which is its main function. Important, *this cable cannot charge any other kind of battery than the "Play & Charge Kit."*
*2. Being able to use an Xbox 360 wireless controller without batteries,* since it transmits power through the cable. *This is very useful in the case of those Xbox 360 controllers that have the problem of turning off even if the batteries are good.* 👍🏻
*3. Being able to pair an 360 controller with the Xbox 360 console where you connect the cable;* a useful alternative if you can't use the pairing buttons on your controller and console to do so, whether one of them is damaged or for another reason. 👍🏻
*Things this cable does NOT allow you to do:*
- Connect your Xbox 360 wireless controller to a PC: unlike Xbox One/Series controllers that do send information over the cable if you connect them that way, and that's why you can connect them to PC using a USB cable, *YOU CAN'T do the same with 360 wireless controllers,* since *they still send buttons information wirelessly* even if they are connected with that cable, so you'll need the *Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Reciever* to connect it to your PC. On the other hand, *the Xbox 360 wired controller* (less common to find) *can be connected directly to the PC through its built-in cable.*
P.S. You should edit your video title to put a question mark on it so people don't get confused thinking your video is a tutorial instead of a question.
And here I am feel dump
with ur second point, if i ONLY bought the charger and wireless receiver, (assuming the "without batteries" u mentioned in point 2 are A batteries), can i still play with AA batteries coz power is still transmitting through the cable or do i need to buy the chargable batteries to play?
if you find any solution for this problem so please new video in near future..................
It does not work via this kit ... you must buy either a wired controller or a wireless adapter
Ok so i basically tried uninstalling and installing the drivers it worked the green light on the cable lighted and i tried to connect it to steam and it didnt work so i restarted and red light

Is the battery pack necessary for this
Answer : This helped me for some odd reason. Within device manager I updated the driver. Driver not shown so click "Show compatible hardware box" Then I selected "xbox 360 controller for windows version : 6.1" then next. Then I pushed the sync buttons and it worked. Now I went back into update driver and had set it back to play and charge kit. Now it works and I don't know why or how. Hope this helps everyone please like my answer if it worked. if not dislike. Thanks. P.S. wireless xbox 360 controller with charge and play kit.
I will be sure to try that
the plug and charge kit only charges the controller
My 240p has 60fps ._.
Matches your profile picture.
Mine is a Play and charge though.
I can use iPad adapters wired to play call of duty mobile, Minecraft, pixel gun 3d, and into the dead
I know for a fact I used that charger cord on wireless controllers with my 360 to play when I didn't have batteries. Something doesn't add up
the problem he had was is he's trying to use the 360 controller on pc with the play and charge kit. the controller only recognizes the pc as a power source. however it does not turn it into a wired controller. the way it works on xbox is not the same way that it is supposed to work on pc. for pc you need the wireless dongle
thank you for making the xbox one controller work when plugged in, microsoft.
4 years later and I still didn't learn my lesson... Always check the comments section 🤣🤣
kid you can't do that with the play and charge kit 😯
will it allow me to sync controller with pc?
