i impulse bought an xbox one s one black friday and every time i try to play it i have trouble getting the controller to sync up at the start
currently it's not syncing at all so basically the thing is useless

i swore i wouldn't buy another of their products after i got shitty rrod'd twice on 360s
and yet, here we are again

I had the same problem last month. So I turned the system all the way off(Full Shutdown) then plugged the controller in and turned the system on via the controller and let them sit together through the whole usual boot process. It fixed my issue. Hopefully it will work again for you.

yeah buddy
i clicked all over the place, the little black button on the console and the little black button on the controller
i'm all about these sync buttons
i tried the way the internet says
i tried my own way
i tried a crazy way pressing the buttons to a tune
i tried pushing them opposite and at the same time
i can get the light on the controller to rapid flash
but no connection

yo i might sound like a jackass, but are the batteries in? It can play without batteries with the usb, but once you pull it, nada.

I bought an S two black fridays ago and I can't remember ever having to update the controller. Maybe had to "update" it when I initially installed the console, but nothing I can recall since then.

Can you return it? Could just be a faulty console or controller

I mean, you hold down the sync button on the controller until it starts blinking and let go of the button, and you do the same for the console sync button, until the console light is blinking or pulsing. And they are both doing the same at the same time, and it doesn't link?

I just have never heard of this being an issue, especially an issue that makes the console broken and it won't link up at all.

It's just to test if your controller is busted.

Yeah, but you are holding down the sync button not the power button, right? The sync button is always in a weird place.

I got an original Xbox, I got a 360 (had it RRoD, recalled, got it back, eventually died anyways and got a new model), and I'm actually satisfied all things considered but yeah I'm never getting any other MS console. It's simply ridiculous that playing a gaming console should be so much hassle.

No, some are PC only, some are console only. It isn't a 100% shared library.

This really isn't that uncommon of a problem. A friend and I have both had this happen a few times over the last couple years. Couldn't tell you what causes it.

Hasn't been a real problem for me because I have a wired PDP controller.

You keep fucking with it eventually it'll work. Try completely shutting down the Xbone like an above poster stated.

Honestly sounds like the problem is either with you or the controller is just defective.

Xbox dont deserve the blame here. Their controllers and systems are the best in the bidness IMHO. Owning all 3 major systems.

lol just telling you like it is buddy.

I do find it humorous someone would hold a grudge against the system cus of RROD? Yeah they fucked up the engineering of that system 100% but they also replaced them all free of charge. I went through 2 myself and it was no more hassle than packing up the system and waiting a week for a new one. Some people are easily bothered by things though.

i find it humorous that you don't understand why someone would choose another company over a company that has fucked them in the past when there are options
