There are two ways you can connect your controller to your Xbox: wirelessly or wired via a USB to Micro-USB cable. This How.com.vn will teach you how to connect your Xbox Controller to your Xbox One using both methods.
Steps
Turn on your Xbox One console. You'll see the power button on the right side of the unit if you have it positioned horizontally.
Insert batteries into your controller. Some models of the Xbox remote, like the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and the Xbox Adaptive Controller have built-in batteries and come with a USB-C cable for charging. Other models of Xbox controllers require AA batteries or rechargeable batteries to work.[1]- You can get an Xbox One Play & Charge Kit that comes with a rechargeable battery and charging cable.[2]

Press and hold the Xbox button on your controller. This is the large circular button centered in your controller with the Xbox logo.- The button should flash to indicate that it's unpaired and looking for something to connect with.
- You can release the Xbox button on your controller when the button is flashing.
Press the bind button on the console. If your Xbox One X or Xbox One S is horizontally positioned, you'll see this button on the right side of the unit's face, below the power button.- If you have an original Xbox One, the bind button is a circular button on the side, around the edge of the unit from the disc tray.
Press and hold the controller's bind/sync button. This is the circular button on top of the controller (not the Xbox button).- Release this button when you see the Xbox button flash a few more times.
- When the Xbox button remains lit, your controller is connected to your console.[3]
Connect the micro-USB end of the cable to your remote. If you have an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 or an Xbox Adaptive Controller, plug the USB-C end of the cable into your controller.- The controller does not need batteries if you use a cable.
Connect the other end of the cable to your console. You will either find USB ports on the front or sides of your Xbox console.
Turn on your Xbox. You can either use the Xbox button on the controller or press the power button on the console to turn it on.- The Xbox button on your controller should light up and remain lit to indicate it is connected to a console.[4]
