I plugged in my wireless 360 gamepads with USB receiver on Xbox One but it won't recognize my 360s. I heard that they have different types of signals. 360 has RF 2.4 signals Xbox One has Bluetooth connection.

Some say that there's a USB device to plug in Xbox One that allows to plug in the receiver of 360 that changes RF to Bluetooth.

I tried to look up on the internet but couldn't find anything. Can you please help to find the name of this converter?

360 accessories are not compatible at all with Xbox one, as far as I know. Never seen any adapter for it either.

Could be wrong tho.

it doesn't matter if your wireless controller uses RF or bluetooth, as long a reciever can be plugged in via usb. But even then, it's unfortunately a little more convoluted.

Xbox One (and Xbox 360) both have a controller authentication that is checked when you connect a controller. If the proper authentication response isn't returned, the Xbox will just ignore the controller.

It is possible to connect a foreign controller, but you'll need something that can passthrough the authentication data from an appropriate controller and passthrough commands from a third party controller. I use a CronusMax Plus, which makes it fairly straight forward:

Step 1: plug in CronusMax Plus
Step 2: plug in original/licensed Xbox One controller via USB and let authenticate
Step 3: unplug Xbox One controller and plug in Xbox 360 reciever

Alternatively, you can plug a usb hub into the CronusMax Plus, with original controller in first USB port, and 360 reciever in second port, and CronusMax Plus will take care of the rest so you don't have to unplug anything.

I've used it to connect my Wii U Pro controller (via mayflash adapter, that imitates an Xbox 360 controller) to my Xbox One. And I'm currently on the lookout for an original wired 360 controller, so I can do the same thing on my 360.

Edit: there is also the Cronus Zen, which is apparently the new flagship device. I haven't looked into it, since I already have a CronusMaxPlus, but it appears to basically be the same, but with a built in usb hub and bluetooth, so you don't need to unplug.
