Have you tried to connect two controllers with one receiver? I was under the impression that one receiver can connect four controllers but if it can't then it must be a misprint somewhere. I use the wired controller so I can't really say but I read somewhere that it works with 4 controllers but can't find the link.

It can run up to four gamepads!! We play sf4 and other games with 2 360 controllers on my one wireless adapter!! There should be no reason why the 2 gamepads shouldnt work together on the one adapter !! Connect the first controller and then the second and they should work!!

If the lights on one keep flashing, that means it isn't synced right.

I forgot to ask if you are using the xbox 360 controller, which I assumed you were.

Here are the directions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906947

As long as you have a wireless xbox 360 controller and the wireless gaming receiver pictured HERE, you should be good to connect up to 4 wireless xbox 360 controllers.

Hmm. So you have one controller that connects fine and works in games, but have you tried swapping that with the other one?

So don't use both, but just use the other controller instead so we can narrow down where the problem is. If this doesn't work, we can assume something is wrong with the controller.

If this doesn't work, try connecting it to another PC or an xbox 360 if available.
