Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller Driver

Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller Driver is an official Microsoft driver that will allow you to use any Xbox 360 controller, wired or wireless, on your PC. Playing using a wired Xbox 360 controller on Windows is as simple as plugging it into a USB port, waiting a few seconds for your operating system to recognize it, and starting to play. But with wireless controllers, things aren't so easy.

Use your Xbox wireless controller to play on PC

Connecting an Xbox 360 wireless gamepad to your PC is much simpler than you think. First, you'll need to install this driver, which will take only a few minutes. Once installed, you'll need to open the Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories Status app, which you can quickly find from the Windows Start menu. When you open it, you'll see an Xbox indicator on the screen showing as many green lights as peripherals are connected. You must press the Guide button on the controller (the large central button) and wait a few seconds for the program to recognize it. When it does, you'll see a new green light added to the Xbox ring.

Connect other Xbox 360 peripherals

Although the main purpose of Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller Driver is to connect wireless Xbox 360 controllers to PCs, you can also use it to connect other Microsoft devices very easily. For example, if you have an Xbox 360 headset, you can also connect it to your PC, thanks to these drivers. You'll even be able to see their battery level. Similarly, if you have an official Microsoft steering wheel for Xbox 360, you'll be able to use it on your PC. The process is virtually identical for any of Microsoft's many peripherals.
