How to sync joystick with xbox 360

One of the principles that developers of modern game consoles rely on is that the user has no problems with the operation of the device and the simplicity of the basic operations. For example, the creators of the Xbox 360 made sure that the synchronization of wireless game joysticks with the console was as simple as possible. How to synchronize the gamepad with the device?

How to sync joystick and xbox 360?

For starters, it's worth turning on the console itself. After this, you must perform the following sequence of actions:

1. Press the “guide” button located in the center of the joystick.
2. Press the connect button on the front of the xbox
3. Hold and hold the connection key, located shortly from the USB-connector on the joystick
4. After the lights on both the console and the gamepad stop flashing, check if the synchronization has been successful.

Reference! After the joystick is synchronized once with the "base", repeating the above procedure each time the console is turned on is not required.

In exactly the same way, up to three gamepads can be connected to the console.

What if sync fails?

If the connection is constantly terminated or is not established at all, there are several basic possible solutions to this problem. First, replace the batteries in the joystick. Only use quality AA class nutrients.

Reference! Using third-rate batteries can damage the joystick and shorten its life.

If replacing the batteries does not help, you must check the battery pack. To do this, insert the battery pack into the controller from another device, and then turn it on. If after that the synchronization was successful and without “gaps”, then the problem can be solved by replacing the block.

Reference! The blocks are covered by the warranty, so if the warranty period has not expired, you can try to get a new battery pack from the seller for the warranty card for free.

If the above methods did not help to establish synchronization, this may indicate a malfunction in the console or gamepad, and only a qualified specialist can fix the problem.
