Question Xbox 360 wired controller stops working

[joemcoleman]

Hello All,

I've ran into an issue with my Xbox 360 wired controller. I plugged in a keyboard given to me by my friend, and everything seemed to be working fine.

Then, I launched a game and the controller stopped functioning after pressing one of the XYAB buttons, not the sticks, triggers, or analog directionals. The mouse also stopped working, causing me to restart with my keyboard. Attempted this a couple times to make sure its a real problem.

I immediately plugged my regular keyboard in and the problem still exists. I uninstalled/reinstalled the gamepad drivers and checked for any new keyboard drivers (I didn't see anything).

I haven't flashed the bios yet, hoping I'm missing something obvious.

Specs:

Xbox 360 wired controller
Razer Deathadder mouse
Logitech G105 (Original keyboard)
Corsair K70 Gaming Keyboard (New keyboard)
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H LGA 1155 mobo


Thank you for your advice and sorry if this is a simple solution.

I assume that your running windows 10. There are no driver updates on the mobo website for usb 3.0 with win10. What is the psu wattage? Figure out the wattage your system in total see if your psu is enough. It seems it should be but if the psu is slowly dying than maybe not.

Are you a human?

Thanks, Dave. Thanks for responding!

You are correct, I'm am using Windows 10. I checked the website after the problems as well. Something I should have investigated before plugging in the keyboard.

I'm not really interested in using the keyboard anymore, just fixing what I currently have. The wattage of my PSU covers what I currently have, unless it is dying like you mentioned.

Can something be done without flashing the BIOS? Would that even potentially solve anything?

Thanks again!
