How to FIX Xbox One Controller Won't Sync and Blinking Lights (Easy Method)

Do you want to know how to sync, pair, or connect your controller to your xbox one controller to your xbox one console??? Your xbox one controller will continue to blink until it connects your xbox one console. There are two different blinking patterns on the xbox one controller, one is slower and the other one is faster. If your press down the sync or bind button on the xbox one controller, your controller will be in bind mode and will be blinking fast. This will make it discoverable to bluetooth devices.
You can connect your controller to via USB and this will connect your controller quicker. If it's not sync or pairing with a USB, power down your console and unplug the XBOX ONE power cable from the back of the console. Now that it's unplug, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Power on your xbox one console by holding down the xbox button on the controller. ...

I got a PS4 just to play god of war, uncharted, and Spiderman. Plus PS4 is a lot more friendly with anime based games, which I enjoy. And an Xbox because there are less bugs and because the gameplay in fps games is better imo.
