Install Xbox 360 Controller Driver
Chrystal Dueno
I have 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.
Microsoft Xbox One Controller Driver (x64) is a program for the Windows operating system to install the Xbox One controller drivers on your PC. This software allows you to play your favorite games with the Xbox One controller on your computer without any compatibility issues.
If you like playing with a controller because you find it more comfortable or intuitive, you'll definitely want to use an Xbox controller with your PC. As both Xbox and Windows are Microsoft products, they tend to cause few problems and are usually compatible. But if you specifically want to enjoy the Xbox One controller, you should install Microsoft Xbox One Controller Driver (x64). The drivers reduce the response time between the controller and the PC, helping you to play much more smoothly.

I've gone through this dance three times now. So I'm going to document it this time and hopefully save some other poor souls some effort. It's loosely Arduino related in that a lot of people like to control things with these controllers.
You have to get rid of xpad for xboxdrv to work. You can:
sudo rmmod xpad
every time you want to use the xbox controller or you can go into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add:
blacklist xpad
to the end of that file. You'll need root privileges to modify it.
So you go to /etc/udev/rules.d and you create a new rule in that directory. You create a filename with xx-someName.rules where xx is a number above 50 that isn't already used in that directory and someName is whatever you want to name it.
Now when you run xboxdrv without sudo you see that it finds a uinput device but you don't have permission to use it. So use usermod to add yourself to the plugdev and input groups. Now restart and you should be able to run xboxdrv without sudo and see output from the controller.
Gizmodo released an article on how to use the Xbox One controller with PC. When I try to find the driver to hook up with the Controller, an error appears, "Access is denied". It happened to me when I tried doing it with the Xbox 360 controller.
Let's quickly cover how to use xone to set up a Xbox Elite Wireless Controler Series 2 connecting to Arch Linux via a Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10. Once we're done, it should 'just work' in steam, wine, lutris, or your other games.
You'll also want to make sure your GPU is properly working, with 3D OpenGL acceleration. You should refer to the Arch Linux wiki related to your GPU for this. (I use AMD GPUs so I just install mesa and lib32-mesa)
TL;DR: Push adapter button so the white light on it flashes (no flash? See troubleshooting), push Xbox Guide button to turn on controller, push pair button on controller so the guide button flashes, repeat until it finally works and the controller light stays lit.
To test in wine, I ran wine control joy.cpl, and reviewed the listed 'Connected (xinput device)' box for 'Controller (Xbox One for Windows)'. In the 'Test Joystick' tab you can do inputs into the controller and see them reflected in the UI. That means we're good to go!
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 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.
After a bit of research and questioning, i've been told that the Xbox 360 controller was best suited for playing games on my Mac. After going through some hassle of trying to connect a PS3 controller, who never wanted to show up in my Bluetooth Settings, i resigned a bought new wired controller. After new original Xbox 360 controller arrived, the problems began... again.
