Third party receivers may require additional configuration, please see the  Third Party Receiver section of the troubleshooting page.

Can I use a different wireless controller dongle to connect the wireless guitar controller?

Guitar hero world tour, playstation 2 macintosh pc playstation 3 wii xbox 360, guitar hero world tour (playstation 2).

• I have the Guitar Hero Wireless controller from Guitar Hero 5 (Model No 95449 805), but no Wireless Dongle anymore. Can I use a dongle from any other wireles controller (e.g. Dualshock)? Which can I use? With which wireless dongles is this Guitar compatible? Guitarwallah - 3 years ago - report
• you have to use the dongle that matches the guitar. I never owned a gh5 guitar so i don't know what the dongle is. I am going to assume that it uses the same dongle that most of the other guitars use which looks like a small black box, if it uses that type of dongle then you should be able to just get another dongle like that and connects it to the guitar just fine.

Music is my passion. I play electric, acoustic guitars and ukulele. Awarded for contribution to the development of music education, preservation of cultural heritage and strengthening of international cultural ties. Winer of Many-faced guitar, Festos and String's Masters Battle. Played on the radio, TV, in a concert with Steve Vai & Apocalyptica.

I grew up on classic rock and blues (which formed my attitude to the sound: tube amplifiers, recorded by a microphone, vintage guitars and pedals), but I always wanted more. So I studied and played jazz, world music (brazilian, hawaiian, african ...), funk, country, bluegrass & fingerstyle acoustic. I have a diploma of the College of Improvised Music, specialty "Artist of the jazz band". Three times won the contest Many-faced guitar in the nomination "Fingerstyle acoustic".

I specialize in Americana, Rock, Blues, Funk, Country, Fingerstyle acoustic, Pop-rock & World music (hawaiian, brazilian, reggae and some others).

I can record electric, acoustic, slide guitars & ukulele. Also can help with arrangement & composition.
