Just set up two new cyclone two controllers. Plugged in the docs to the PC, they charged up and turned off on their docks. Do I need to do anything else before I gather my family for some couch co-op play? Is there anything to install or register or anything?

Thanks!
 
Just make sure they are recognized in the Windows blue tooth settings when you power them up. If they do, then the games should autodetect.
 
Is Bluetooth how they connect? I figured they connected with the docs? My old Microsoft controller had this little dongle it connected to like my headphones.
 
The charging station could serve as wireless adapter if it has the dongle so not necessarily bluetooth I guess. I guess make sure which connection you are using is recognized by Windows.
 
Plugged them both in. Windows sees them both. One fires right up when I take it off of the dock and is ready to go. The other does not. It doesn't seem to want to pair.
