Is the xBox control IR (I would have to aim at my xBox) or does it use the same wireless tech their controllers use (and I don't have to aim at it)?

While you don't necessarily need to aim directly at the Xbox, it does not use the same wireless tech as their controllers. For instance, if the the sensor on the remote is covered, the Xbox will NOT respond. Hope this helps.

From my experience with the remote (I still use it daily), you have to aim the remote to the IR receiver of the Xbox360. Hope this helps.

It works just like a regular tv remote (IR). I just like it better because you can program all of your home theatre gadgets with it, and it costs a bunch less than the fancy Logitech Harmony. I have tv, cable box, dvd, vcr, & surround sound. You select which component you want, and aim it toward that one. I bought 2 for myself and 1 for my son, who actually has the Xbox. Great value.

Yep. If you want to use your 360 via wireless you'll need one of the wireless adapters from Microsoft. Otherwise you can connect them via ethernet cable without any additional stuff. I ran mine like that and never had a problem.

the xbox doesn't have wireless built in. you need to get the add on USB wifi adapter to give the device wireless capabilities.

It was awesome. Still working and i like wired controller. Unfortunately, xbox one only provides wireless controller but I use this. Thanks.

This can extend the IR capability of your Xbox One - allowing you to control another device from the Xbox (TV, Audio receiver, etc). You can control the Xbox via the controller, smart glass app, or Kinect.

All it does is redirect the IR signal from a remote to rf into the other x10 which converts it back to IR. It should operate with as many as it can keep in line of sight. I have mine right next to my receiver and have no problems controlling my DVD player or cable box above it. It should control anything.

It will control any features that the Xbox One can control on the Tivo. So, if the TV app has been set up to control the box, and you can control play/pause, fast forward, and rewind with the Xbox, then the remote can control those features as well. The only difference I have noticed is, you will sometimes have to press the select button after the action button - so to fast forward, you will press the fast forward key (which will show the Xbox controls, with the fast forward option highlighted) then press the select button to send the fast forward command to the box.

I believe it uses IR or RF. It does not require Bluetooth. But it does work either way with the xbox 360

Yes, it will work, but you will have to manually "train" the remote using an existing Xbox remote control, since Logitech does not include its codes in the setup program. Also, for the original XBox, you'll need the DVD playback dongle as the original XBox does not include an IR receiver.

It's the exact same controller included with and sold for the xbox 360. The included receiver is only needed for Windows.

Yes, I set two "Activities". One is the xbox and the second is WMC. I bring the remote with me between rooms.

This controller is most likely a DirectInput device. It should work on any game that accepts DirectInput.Many developers have adopted Xinput since the release of the Xbox 360, so it will not work directly on a game that requires an Xbox controller, but there are programs like X360ce which can emulate an Xbox controller.

I'm using an Xbox 360 controller and it works perfectly, no hassle. Just plug in and that's it.

Just like on the Xbox's main controllers, there is a connectivity button that needs to be pressed (on the back in the center of the wheel). So as you would with the main controller's press the button on the wheel that makes the lights show that they are searching for the console, and then press the small circular button on the console that is near the power button. Once they have become in sync with one another, the controller will flash a few times and then tell you which user the wheel is (ie 1, 2, 3, or 4).

I use both the Echo and Xbox 360 as an extender. Neither one works better or worse than the other. When using an extender you are operating the PC with a remote connection, there will always be a lag in commands. Because the xbox is an actual PC the lag shows up in different ways than the Echo which has to be looked at as a dumb node on a network, so the lag with the Echo has different symptoms.

If it's IR you should be able to get it to work. Will not work if the controller is RF.

the xbox 360 controllers use a propriatary protocol for their wireless. xbox one controllers use wifi direct for their protocol(though I keep finding information that says its a specialized wireless protocal I can't find a difinitive answer on this), if you have a windows 8.1 computer or a windows 7 computer with intel My WiFi Dashboard you may be able to connect wireless(if you are able to use wifi direct to connect the controller please let people know). likely you will need the drivers listed in another answer to use its full functionality though.
