The official Xbox One controller should 100% just work as good as the Xbox 360 controller on PC. The Rock Candy version seems dodgy. Try removing your current driver through device manager and install the 64-bit version to see what it does.

Windows 8.1

On a computer running Windows 8.1, you can use Devices and Printers in Control Panel to troubleshoot the controller. Here’s how:

  1. On the Start screen, select Control Panel.
  2. Select View Devices and Printers.
  3. Verify that the controller appears under Devices, and then right-click the controller and select Game controller settings.
  4. Check the Status of the controller, and then select Properties.
  5. On the Test tab, test that the controller works correctly. If there are any issues, select Calibrate on the Settings tab.
  6. If you continue to experience any issues, right-click the controller under Devices in Devices and Printers, and then select Troubleshoot.

Windows 7 and earlier versions of Windows

Rock candy controller support

On Windows 7 and earlier versions of Windows, you can use Device Manager to help troubleshoot problems with your controller, see whether the correct items are listed, and to make sure there are no conflicts.

Note A conflict is marked by a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager.

To use Device Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Select Start, then Run, then type sysdm.cpl, and then select OK.
  2. On the Hardware tab, select Device Manager.
  3. When the controller is successfully installed, you see three entries in Device Manager. There should be two entries under Human Interface Devices:
    • HID-compliant game controller
    • USB Human Interface Device
    Additionally, there should be a third entry in under Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class:
    • Xbox 360 Controller for Windows
  4. If you see yellow exclamation points next to any of these entries, there's a problem with the installation. If there's a problem for either of the entries under Human Interface Devices, first verify that the problem is caused by the controller by unplugging it. If a hardware conflict with the controller was causing the problem, the yellow exclamation point will no longer appear after the controller is unplugged.

To resolve controller problems in Device Manager, try these solutions one at a time (move to the next solution only if the one you’re trying fails to resolve your problem):

Xbox One Controller Instructions

I got a problem getting my X360 controller (which comes with a 2009 Arcade Xbox 360) to work on my laptop. I'm on 64-bit Windows 8.1, and have installed 64-bit Windows 7 driver for the controller (because there are no drivers for Windows 8; presumably Windows 8 has the driver by itself). After plugging in, the Devices and Printers section of the Control Panel categorizes the X360 Controller as Unspecified. I tried troubleshooting from the right-click menu in there, and the best answer I could get was 'The Xbox 360 controller via play and charge kit uses an older version of USB and might not work properly on USB 3.' (which is very unreasonable, how can a device not function on a more technically advanced hardware?) Anyway, I only have USB 3 ports on my laptop, so I can't try USB 2.
