How to connect xbox 360 controller to PC with only bluetooth

Question

I wanna try the xbox 360 controller but I don't have a cable or a receiver for it, I only have bluetooth.

Can you please tell me how to connect it to my PC (Windows 10)

Solution 1

You can't... Xbox 360 controllers do not support Bluetooth, they use a proprietary RF interface which requires a special USB dongle.

There are specific, newer Xbox ONE wireless controllers that do support Bluetooth to PC, but you need to make sure to get the one with Bluetooth support as all Xbox One controllers do not support it.

Not at all. The XBox 360 controller does not use Bluetooth. You may be confusing it with the Playstation 3/4 controllers.

You need the receiver. Please note that the Play & Charge Kit does not contain a receiver.
