How to use Xbox360 controller with USB cable

[@johnreyguerrero9110]

Thank you so much bro! I feel like I am a professional Engineer after what I did haha, btw thanks again bro!🧡

Now i use this on my controller, but after i buy battery kit and other wired controller, and now i found this video, its already late for me but its worked, tq so much

[@gamespot595]

Great 👍

[@wellsbenjy]

Worked well for me and very easy ! Actually used a broken controller charging cable (I knew the break was close to the controller so cut below that) and the colours worked as per the ones in the video. Thank you :)

[@rbaleiro]

5V in the battery bank... 3V with the original batteries... im sure that isnt appropriate

[@Prince-n2d123kanyefan]

I used that but I have an official wire from xbox you put to make it wired. I used a charging brick 70w🤑

If u do this method to use a powerbank. And u have a charger kit cord. And u plug it on top when the diy plug into power bank. What will happen. Would it charge the bank or not charge.

[@gamespot595]

Would it charge power bank! No it will never charge the power bank! Coz your controller has no power yo charge something.. when you plug this diy in the power bank output port from where you normally charge mobiles then power bank will provide 5 volts to your controller and let it turn on

my controller does not turn on at all even though it has a good connection, I don't have a battery pack at all so i am just connecting the wires to the springs on the back of the controller. any ideas?

[@gamespot595]

I think you have connected wrong wires.. first you need to figure out negative and positive wires within your USB cable then connect them with those springs accordingly.. See this video of mine, it will help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fMd6mPrZhnl6M

My xbox 360 wired controller i bought has a connecting problem to stay on. Everytime i play it cuts off. Most of the time i have to be shaking the wire to continue playing. I assume usb on xbox slack. I bought a usb hub to connect it. It worked. The light stop cutting off. However another problem arises. Non of the buttons dont work. So I still.cant play my games smooth anymore without it cutting of. I used a usb 3.0 hub that has 4ports. And i only use one port for the controller.

[@gamespot595]

Seems like your controller cord is damaged.. see there are around 4 or five wires with in the black cord of controller. if any one of it disconnects or if there is any poor connection then this kind of problems happens.. only solution is to replace the power cord..if you have mechanical skill you can do it other wise concern with the consoles technician.

[@gamespot595]

As far slack issue is concerned so usb hub is not the solution coz i think your xbox usb port and usb hub connections are not synchronizing thats why your buttons are not working.. usb ports are also available on back side of the console try those

Could u use that method to connect 360 controller to pc wired. Or your smartphone with a otg. To play games DOES IT HAVE ANY DIY METHOD. THAT CAN WORK WITHOUT BUYING MICROSOFT PRODUCT TO WORK FOR PC.

[@gamespot595]

As far my research, xbox360 adapter is the only way to connect xbox360 controller to pc.. yes ps3 controllers have the ability to connect with pc by using software but they too don't work perfectly.. you will face issues in some buttons.. the reason is this pc's and consoles are two different things.. compatibility issue will always be there.. so my answer is no

[@gamespot595]

And one more thing.. see what i am doing in this video is that I am just providing power source to the controller with wire.. am not synchronizing the controller with cable.. synchronizing is taking place by the wireless medium am just using cable to provide 5 volts to the controller.. now it doesn't matter whether its from console usb port or a powerbank usb port or a mobile charger usb port..all are providing 5 volts..

[@gamespot595]

Pethatic! Do you have any valid argument to support your critic? Did you try this?

[@alanjagroop1282]

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.

[@gamespot595]

No it will not work with those adapters because they require proper input (I mean data cable) and they only support wire controllers not wifi controllers.. what I did is not to sincronize my controller to the console but to give it 5v power.. Synchronization is performed by its default wifi connectivity.. see you are confusing data cable and power cable.. Data cable contains 4 or 5 wires inside it whereas power cable only contain 2 wires (positive and negative).. watch my video and see I have only taken two wires and cutted the rest..those adapter supports controllers with proper data cables.. in my case I have attached power cable not data cable so that's why.... No

[@pnvgordinho]

Hi. I did that to one of my xbox controllers and if I plug it to a power bank, the light comes on but it doesn't sync with the xbox 360. Even if I press the sync button on the controller and on the console. Don't know why. It sucks.

[@cadenlucas5416]

[@gamespot595]

Try resetting your console, it will work.. if the problem remains, try using another power bank. May be your power bank lacks the voltage required by the controller

[@pnvgordinho]

@@gamespot595 IM going to try it. My power bank has a cell capacity of DC 3.6V 10050 mAh (36Wh). Anyway if I cant make it work I will get an USB extension cord and plug it to the console. I haven't done it yet because Im afraid of ruin the console. Thanks.

It's a bad idea the power bank output is 5volts and the controller needs just 3volts!

Its tested and in video you can watch it.. 3 and 5 volts have not that much difference so its still acceptable.. besides i have tested it that's why i have shared.. but its up to you to take this risk or not.. i just shared my experiment and am using it since last 4 years

[@gamespot595]

As far I have understood your question, I think you are talking about controller right? So you are saying that you have a xbox controller but not xbox console and you want to use that controller on PC to play games.. No... you cannot directly play PC games with xbox controller.. you will need an adapter to do so....

[@ayoubferchichi8151]

Hi I tried the controller is charged in 20min Than last for many days Is that normal?

[@gamespot595]

What? Are you putting cells (batteries) too while connecting cables with those positive and negative terminals? If that so am not sure its a good idea coz it can overcharge batteries. What I have showed, is to powering the controller not to charge the batteries, you should just play games without putting batteries in the controller and only with the wire. Hope I answer the question thanks.

[@madwolf1201]

as i know controller works with two AA batteries 1.5 + 1.5 = 3v , and usb provide 5v, so this trick may cause dmg to controller specially when used for long play time (plus 5 or 6 hours) !! correct me if am wrong !

[@white_african_9731]

it shouldn't affect it in a negative way.. its would probably be the same if you plugged in the USB cable to the remote.

[@factcyclone7354]

It working but for a few times only because as we connect and disconnect it with the power, after 2 or 3 tines it stops working even with a strong connection(if any one know which is thing i am missing pls tell).

[@gamespot595]

May be you broke some wires inside the USB cord while trying.. make sure the current is coming through the wires.. change the USB cable and give it a try.. hope it helps

It works..by the looks of it the xbox puts out the exact voltahe required to charge the joystick not more..if you have issues you could attach a regulator and it should work just fine..havent had issues with the contriller so far..also make sure you connect only to the xbox and not a mobile charger cuz that thing puts out 5 volts and the controller recharges batts @ 2.25 volts.. just do a subreddit check up... Cheers

look its simple we put 2 1.5 volts batteries in the controller, if you add their voltage it becomes 3 volts, USB cable whether you put into Xbox,PC,power bank,Mobile charger they all give maximum 5 volts, and the controller can easily manage 5 volts so no worries

Check if your wire is giving current.. if you have a multimeter check with it.. and in some usb cables negative and positive wires comes with different colour so keep this in mind as well

[@mezzovii]

I have no idea what you are doing!

[@gamespot595]

Its simple! Xbox controller needs at least 3 volts power source to turn on.. I am simply using USB cable as a power source instead of cells, USB cable provides 5 volts which is still acceptable by xbox controller and the purpose of doing so is to avoid using cells which don't last long. Long story short! by following this you can play games as long as you want without worrying about cells replacement!

Yes if you have a spare USB cable cut one of its end.. there will be 4 thin wires inside it with different colour.. now you have to figure out the positive 5v and a negative wire.. usually red wire is a positive 5v and black wire is a negative. But if your cable has some other colour combination then you will need a multimeter just to identify positive and negative cable.. wait let be send u my another video link.. may it clear your doubt
