Ihave a Microsoft XBOX 360 gamepad with the wireless adapter and I was wondering what I would have to install to use them with Ubuntu I do know that when using this on Windows I have to manually install the drivers for the wireless receiver (if that is relevant.)

If you find difficulties running your XBOX 360 controller, then this will help you install it on a computer running Ubuntu, and also show you how to configure it. These instructions are workable for both wired or wireless X-Box 360 controllers.


and done you just installed Xbox driver and you're all ready to use your Xbox 360 controller :D. I guess when everyone says the controller is a Plug&Play and it does not then you have to install the necessary drivers to use it.


This is an update to existing answers for a way to get an XBox360 controller working in Wine >= 1.7, including Steam games in Wine on Ubuntu >= 13.10. No root permissions needed for installation and operation.


Note that unfortunately, there isn't a 12.04 package for xboxdrv-stable. You may consider contacting contacting the package maintainer, assuming you have a Launchpad.net account. Still, try using the software that needs the driver.


Just as an unrelated side note, the error you were seeing with your makefile was due to the fact that makefiles use tabs for indentation and likely when the file was copied those tabs were changed to spaces.


You don't need to install anything, the kernel has a build in driver. Just plug the wireless adapter into USB and sync the controller. xboxdrv is only needed if you want additional configuration options, button remapping, mouse emulation, etc.


That's old stuff. It should work as soon as you plug it in, if the game is compatible. I think if the game expects an xbox controller (i.e not a generic one) in Wine then it's not likely to work. Native games should work. It's listed as a project for Google Summer of Code so it's on the agenda.


I'm running Linux kernel version 4.0.0 and needed to install nothing and configure absolutely nothing to play games with my XBOX 360 controllers. Even linux-native couch co-op games that require more than one controller like "lovers in a dangerous spacetime" or "trine" worked out of the box. Just plugging in the two controllers and done.

As a learning exercise, I'm trying to write a filter driver for the wired XBox 360 controller on Windows 7 64-bit. This controller shows up as a HID joystick, so it seems like it should be straightforward.


I've made an example filter driver for my mouse which swaps the left and right mouse buttons. This was based on the moufiltr and firefly samples that come with the WDK. However, I'm having trouble converting this example to work for the XBox 360 controller.


With the mouse filter driver, I was able to follow the installation directions from the firefly sample: right-click on the mouse in device manager, choose "update driver." With the XBox 360 controller, I'm not sure which device I should install my driver for. Or are they all talking to the hardware independently, and I would need to install a filter for each one of them?


I should note that I've tried attaching a filter driver to each of the 3 devices in order to print out the IOCTLs available to my filter driver. For the "USB Human Interface Device" my filter received no IOCTLs.


Unfortunately I still don't know which device I should be attempting to filter. (I was hoping one of them would be receiving joystick-equivalent of IOCTL_INTERNAL_MOUSE_CONNECT, but that does not appear to be the case.)
