How can I find my game controller in Windows 10?
1. Prepare your controller
Make sure your controller is charged, turned on, and the Bluetooth connection is turned on (if applicable, of course).
2. Search for your driver in Windows 10
To start adding a new Bluetooth driver, click the Windows Start button or press the Windows key, then click Settings (the little cogwheel) and then Devices.
If it’s a wired controller, just plug it into your USB port. If it is a wireless controller, go to the configuration of Bluetooth and other devices from Windows> Settings, then select Bluetooth and then click the + button to add a new device. Then click on the Bluetooth button.
- Does a wired controller reduce input lag?
It’s up for debate, but wired controllers should be a bit faster than wireless, especially if you use a USB 3.0 port.
