I bought a wireless Xbox 360 controller for my laptop. It seems to work fine when turning it on. However, it will only stay connected within 3 feet range of the receiver. I have a bluetooth USB receiver, a wireless keyboard, and a wireless mouse connected to the same laptop so maybe that's causing interference. But I have tried disconnecting them and still the range is low. Is my product defective or is there interference going on?

    Could you provide links to the exact Xbox accessories that you're using?

The USB receiver for your controller, is it Microsoft brand or third party? I initially bought a third party receiver and I had the same range problem. After using my friend's Microsoft receiver immediately noticed a difference.

  • There's an answer here (in that Microsoft-brand products appear better) but as is, it is better as a comment. Jul 18, 2014 at 22:38
