Make sure your Xbox One controller has a Bluetooth function
Some versions of the Xbox One controller don't actually have Bluetooth powers.
One way to check yours is by looking at the controller itself. If the Xbox button on the middle part has the same plastic cover-like feature as the whole controller, then your controller has Bluetooth.
But if that button does not have the same covering, and instead feels a bit different, then it is incapable of Bluetooth.
So upon purchasing your controller, find out if it has a Bluetooth function or none at all.
