To achieve this, you can use the Startup Applications app (search for it into applications menu) and create a new entry from the GUI, or simply create a xbox-controller-driver.desktop file inside .config/autostart folder including the content below:
Hey there , I'm using Cosmic Byte gamepad.Usually in windows I used to install 2 softwares as drivers , one is from microsoft another one from Cosmic Byte. How should I install those drivers in Zorin OS 16 for lutris?
When it comes to Linux, drivers come in the Linux kernel, and as long as your running the recent kernal releases that come with Zorin OS, you really shouldn't have a problem with your controller, unless it was just released like this week.
But reality check, even if it was released just this week, most controllers get detected as Xbox controllers, even if they arn't Microsoft official licensed Xbox controllers. This is because most controllers follow the same communication standards as Xbox controllers, which is why they get picked up as such.
Make sure to turn on your controller by pressing any buttons, or holding down the center button, whatever is needed to wake the controller up. The site should then detect the controller. And if it does, test all functions.
This means your controller is unsuitable for Linux. Go to Amazon and pick out a PowerA controller in the style and color you want. Mine works perfectly on Linux. I got a picture of me playing Dirt Rally 2.0 with it on this site.
It should play on your computer too, but you won't be able to play in 4K like me I don't think, you will have to bring the resolution down to 1080P I bet, and mess with a few of the other graphics settings to get it just right.
I have an old Xbox One from 2013, those controllers do not have Bluetooth, so I bought this beauty instead last year for Xcloud and GFN:
Now, this one is for Xbox One S and Xbox One X, so has Bluetooth. It was not working, input was registered, but the keymap was completely off. After some googling or duckduckgoing I found this:
Yes, there is an Xbox driver you can install, but I think it comes pre-installed with POP OS, but maybe not Zorin OS. Good work on getting that done, and for posting it for other's to see! That is so Stellar!
I have a problem with my xbox (one) controller. The controller doesn't connect via bluetooth to my computer and the with cable my computer doesn't recognise it ( Xbox accessories App). when I go to the device manager I can see this ( look at the picture below sorry my computer is in french).
I tried cleaning my computer from junk files, deleting the drivers and reinstalling them, nothing.
When I try to link the controller with my computer with bluetooth my computer says the exact same thing as this post :
-an-issue/xbox-controller-driver-error-when-connecting-...
The controller works just fine with my phone, so the problem lies with my OS which is windows 11.
Thank you for helping me !
I have a tp-link UB400 nano USB adapter that I am trying to use to pair an xbox one controller to my PC using Windows 10.
The adapter is working (I have the Bluetooth icon in my notification area, which I have it turned on and set to discoverable, when I go to add a device via it, my controller shows up in the discoverable devices, but when I go to pair it, it sits there until it times out and says that the connection failed.... and if I try to add a Bluetooth device through Windows it says that there is nothing there to connect.
I have gone through this guide from Microsoft yes my controller matches the bottom picture (X is surrounded by plastic separate from the shoulder buttons. When I push the button on top for it to enter into pairing mode ( the X flashes) " If I click the Bluetooth icon in my notification area and try and add a device there, it detects the Xbox controller, but when I go to pair, it says it's pairing for about a minute then ends up showing me and if I go under the Windows Bluetooth options it does not give me an "On/Off" slider underneath, and it shows me this whenever I click "Add Bluetooth Device"
It says that for Windows 8/8.1/10 its plug and play which had the above results, so I installed the driver manually from the website to the same results.
So what step did I miss?
Thank you.
Unplug the adapter and insert it into another USB slot, if that does not work, disable/enable the device in the device manager and try to pair it again. If the OS is Win 10 you do not need the driver.
I had this issue a while back where the gamepad just stopped working in the editor. In the end I rebooted and after this, it seemed to work. Are you using it wired or wireless with a Windows Dongle for Xbox controllers, or via bluetooth?
Ended up solving this. Turns out I had an old XBox 360 controller driver installed in addition to the XBox One controller driver. I removed the XBox 360 controller driver and now the gamepad works as expected.
I apologize for the weird title but it is the best that I can come up with right now. So I have a project where I am building a HID device that will act as a game controller. I am thinking to emulate the controller so that it appears as an Xbox 360 controller to a Windows PC. There is a decent API called the XInput API for games so that they can utilize the 360 controller. I would like to take advantage of that.
I am currently looking into what it will take to code a microcontroller to appear as a 360 controller to the PC. I do have some questions which I am hoping someone with more expertise in the field can help me on.
1) I am looking into the HID standard. I was wondering, is there a separate subclass of the HID standard designated for game controllers that I can use that is compatible with the XInput API? Or at the very least, is there a provision for a game controller in the HID standard?
Now, I am wondering, is there any documentation out there that specifies how to make a HID device compliant to the XInput API or will I be doing some reverse engineering where I use the API to guide how I code the microcontroller?
3) Lastly, is there any documentation on the API that the PC uses to communicate with an Xbox One controller? Or is it still the XInput API? Or is it the Gamepad class ( -us/uwp/api/windows.gaming.input.gamepad)
Xbox 360 Controllers are using proprietary protocol to communicate with PC\console via USB and Wireless.Driver for it is implemented in XUSB22.sys that comes with Windows (was separate driver package earlier).Under the hood there are so called Krypton Packets (codename of wired controller) on USB bus and Argon Packets (wireless controller RF codename) for wireless controllers. Driver produces XInput interface and HID interface (consumed by legacy DirectInput). Under HID it lacking vibration support and LT/RT only under one axis.
Xbox One controllers are using proprietary protocol called GIP (Gaming Input Protocol) for USB and Wireless, also HID for Bluetooth (on controller model 1708 and newer). Driver implementation lying in xboxgip.sys. It provides XInput interface and USB HID interface. Under HID it lacking vibration, LT/RT under one axis, LT/RT motors (so called impluse triggers) are not working.Wireless controllers are using Wifi packets on physical level with incapsulated GIP in them.
Windows.Gaming.Input - is new WinRT/UWP API that comes in addition to XInput, HID and legacy DirectInput APIs. It consumes XUSB/GIP/HID internally (via XusbGameControllerProvider, GipGameControllerProvider, HidGameControllerProvider). Its a native interface for usage of Xbox One controllers on PC since you can use impluse triggers only via this API.
You can try to reverse engineer those protocols/drivers via IDA PRO debugger, USB sniffing etc. PDB symbols are available from Microsoft Public PDB service (IDA will download them automatically):xusb.sysxboxgip.sys
XBCD is an abbreviation for the "X-Box Controller Driver" Which has been around for almost as long as the Original Xbox Controllers themselves (approximately 2001-2003). As of 5/4/2017, the guide was updated to illustrate ways of installing these drivers which hopefully will answer the many questions that we get about them. This new method also no longer requires the test signing feature which also eliminates the requirement for UWD.exe which should make some of our subscribers happy.

Back in the days when Microsoft got involved with the console wars. They made a bunch of controllers for their X-Box units and people began to realize that if you just splice a USB cable on the end of the proprietary connection then you could use the Xbox Controller on your PC. Microsoft at the time really didn't want to associate hardware from their console with hardware from their PC because a few corporate people back then felt it would disenfranchise their user base from actually purchasing an Xbox.
It wasn't until the introduction of the Xbox 360 that Microsoft gave support for their users to use their beloved controllers on their PCs and other devices. Even then Xbox 360 controller support for PC users was released around 2008 giving a few-year gap between its initial release date in 2005. This dongle was designed to work with the "Games for Windows" logo during Windows 7. They also mentioned that this dongle would work with "all future Xbox 360 devices." That is of course until the Xbox One came out.
