Wireless Xbox 360 controller turns on, connects, then turns off after it chooses a player number.

It sounds like your new controller needs to be "sync'ed" (synchronized) to your console so that the console recognizes the controller. Turn on console with controller. Then press sync button on front of controller (small button) and then within 20 seconds press little sync button on front of controller (not the top, its the forward part facing console, little button)

The right joystick on my 360 controller wont give me full range of motion even though the stick moves prfectly fine

Well, it may be because the XBOX has a de-sync, making the controller delayed when you give it orders. I suggest using another controller. If that doesn't work, contact Microsoft support.

Wireless Xbox 360 controller dying right after connecting, what gives?

Sadly aleksander you have been done for. It is common knowledge that controllers bought from China are just copies that have far worse perfromance than other 3rd party ones even. It is because they use cheaper parts to make them. I know they look offical but they never are. I would think you did not pay very much for them? They will not work. Just save a bit of money and get a few used offciall ones form someone on ebay then give them a good clean when you get them.

Can i use my xbox360 controller to play games on y8.com?

The games on Y8 all seem to be web based games that will only accept keyboard and mouse input. I do not think you can use joysticks on their website.

On the Xbox 360 S console, each connected controller is assigned to one of four positions. Each position corresponds to a lighted section around the console power button and the controller Guide button. On the 360 E console, a solid green light on the front of the console indicates that the controller is connected. To determine the player position associated with your accessory, look at the ring of light that surrounds the Guide button on the controller. c9341988-8ed5-4217-9b87-353de50efbec.png?v=1#connect-xbox-controller-m-m.png 5e4ab6ab-8cb0-41e6-a037-b88221a430c7.png?n=connect-xbox-controller-360-m-s.png 71add0b7-ddf2-4439-b4b4-f50f156d92b7.png?v=1#controller-batteries-m-m.png If the controller does not turn on, check the batteries. Insert fresh AA batteries, making sure they are correctly positioned in the battery case. You can also use the Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit or the Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit to power the controller. Learn more about Xbox controllers and chargers. To connect additional controllers, follow these same steps again. You can connect up to four controllers to the console. Each connected controller is assigned a position that corresponds with the lighted sections that appear around the console's power button and around the Guide button located in the middle of each controller.
  • To disconnect a wireless controller, press and hold the Guide button for three seconds, and then choose to turn the controller off.
  • When you turn off the console, the controller will reconnect the next time you turn on the console.
  • The controller can be connected to only one console at a time. You can connect the controller to a different console, but the connection to the previously connected console will be lost.
