Does not work on my xbox 360 250gb slim I bought this recently, and it works fine on my computer. However for some reason my xbox can't detect this controller i.e. does not work and cannot power up my xbox like my other controllers. I want to know is anyone else having this problem? Or is mine possibly defective. Also if there is a solution to this problem it would greatful if you posted it. Thanks in advanced.

Ok, well I had to ask based on the info supplied. Wish it had worked for you.

I've tried that multiple times, my xbox just won't recognize it. Also my working controller is able to turn on the xbox and the defective one can't. (Maybe that's a sign that its broken.)

I have tried and tested this controller with my Xbox and it works fine. I am able to turn the console ON using this controllers. May be you should call tech support.

Oh yes, and another note:Once you pair it with the Xbox, you'll need to re-sync the controller again if you want to connect it back to your PC or another Xbox. It can only connect to one device at a time, but you can re-pair it as many times as you like. Think about it: you wouldn't want the controller doing the same thing on your computer AND Xbox at the same time, right?

I was only pushing it on the controller and it would not work.I tried E. Manns post - You need to push the ))) button on the X-box AND the controller simultaneously - the X-box light and the cotroller light both need to both be swirling at the same time for them to sync up.I was ready to take the thing back - but E. Manns post is spot on and does work.Thanks E Manns!

I am having the exact same issue. I paid the extra money so I would have an authentic Xbox 360 controller with the dual usage option. It works great for my PC games. ( Skyrim in particular) however it was also suppose to be the second controller from my Xbox for when guests come over. I did push the button ))) to try and allocate it to the xbox but it just WILL NOT recognize it. I also feel like an idiot because I bought it months ago but only recently went to use the controller with the xbox and realized it doesn't work. I have a basic 4gig xbox 360 not a slim.

Update: I tried E.Manns' guide but it still did not work. Then 3 days later I gave the controller another shot and it worked, so E.Manns' guide also fixed my problem. Thanks for giving us your insight E.Mann. I hope everyone's problem with this controller has also been resolved.

Yes it works. I bought one recently and it works great! All you have to do is power it up to a plug or extension cord, connect the USB cable that came with it to the back of the hard drive, connect the other end and the Xbox one picks it up almost right away and then all you have to do is format it and you are done

The xbox 360 slim is a different model of the xbox. It sounds like you're referring to an original Xbox 360, which is not compatible with this hard drive

Not only does it not work for 360, I haven't seen one review or heard from one forum that it works for more than 20 minutes period. I'm still trying to make mine work again, and I'm an A+ certified computer tech.

Answered by Bryan a few months back. Please see his response. My response is to stay away from the product because it did not work, conditions mentioned by other users. It's a great idea, just my experience - and others - that required a refund from Microsoft.

I was lucky enough to get one that has no issues. I just connected it to my xbox 360 and it works like one made by microsoft. Except it will not play original xbox games. Not a problem for me. It is not uncommon that defective units slip through quality control and my guess is that you might have one. I suggest return it for exchange because Amazon has excellent customer service. I hope this was helpful. It should already be formatted and ready to go. Good luck. Thanks for asking.

As far as i'm able to tell it is able to work with it, I have the slim but my cousins have the E. Just in case do some quick research. Be warned though, original xbox games do not work with this hard drive. This is because it is not manufactured by Microsoft, but it's still a good buy, i bought it over a year ago, and it still works great, I've never had one problem with it.

I dont have an xbox so I cant try it out and see if it works i always was a playstation fan so i had nothing but a playstation but for the price it isnt that expensive so if it dosent end up working you can always return it I know im not much help maybe if you google search it or If you go to Youtube somebody might have tried it out I hope you find your answer in one of those places :)

I don't know if it is compatible with Xbox 360 Slim. I don't own any kind of Xbox. Usually these FDs can be formatted for either MS Windows or Mac OS.

I own 2. This is a knock off of Microsoft's Wired 360 controller. The trigger inputs are binary, rather than analog. The joysticks are not calibrated properly. They seem to always been pointing in a direction at 1/4 throttle. The joys sticks also have huge dead spots. The vendor, "1Bad", did not do a great job with this controller. The price speaks for itself. If you don't mind these flaws, and just need a gamepad with a few working inputs, this is the controller for you. I would not recommend it though. Good luck in your search for a usb controller.

Depends on the game. Even some game that say "full controller support" don't work completely since it isn't an xbox controller. But there are some games that work even if it says "partial controller support." I would say check the games you play first, or you can get it and get it to work using programs like the other answer mentions.

I bought this product several months ago and tried it on my computer. The software is somewhat compatible but ultimately this controller is not meant for Windows PC. Your best bet would be to buy a brand-name Xbox controller from microsoft

No Andrew,The problem is there is no driver for xbox. Microsoft wants to be sure you have to buy their overpriced unit.I think Linksys makes one but it's overpriced too.

It works perfectly on windows 8 :). And how it performs? It works for what it is, if agame supports an xbox 360 controller it will work. There might even be some mods or workaround a for games that don't support 360. As for the controller itself, hardware, it's great! Everything feels like it should on a 360 controller.

This Controller works on windows Vista, and windows 8, and is exextremely finicky with windows 7. It's really only made for xb360 though.

could be a compatibility issue - most PC games with controller compatibility are set up to take on-brand xbox controllers, which have a particular kind of input. a lot of off-brand usb controllers have a different kind of input. since the game is set up to only recognize one kind of input, it wont recognize the off-brand controller as a controller at all. x360ce is a controller emulator program you can use to solve this problem. it switches the input so that the game recognizes the controller as a controller. i used it and it worked - you can find the program and tutorials on how to use it with google.it could also be because the controller isnt very good and just doesnt work. could be a compatibility issue - most PC games with controller compatibility are set up to take on-brand xbox controllers, which have a particular kind of input. a lot of off-brand usb controllers have a different kind of input. since the game is set up to only recognize one kind of input, it wont recognize the off-brand controller as a controller at all. x360ce is a controller emulator program you can use to solve this problem. it switches the input so that the game recognizes the controller as a controller. i used it and it worked - you can find the program and tutorials on how to use it... » Read More could be a compatibility issue - most PC games with controller compatibility are set up to take on-brand xbox controllers, which have a particular kind of input. a lot of off-brand usb controllers have a different kind of input. since the game is set up to only recognize one kind of input, it wont recognize the off-brand controller as a controller at all. x360ce is a controller emulator program you can use to solve this problem. it switches the input so that the game recognizes the controller as a controller. i used it and it worked - you can find the program and tutorials on how to use it with google.it could also be because the controller isnt very good and just doesnt work. « Show Less
