XboxControllerTurnOff

XboxControllerTurnOff does not need any other introductions. Its name clearly states its purpose. One can use it in order to avoid wasting energy by accidentally leaving an Xbox 360 controller connected and in search mode when paired with a PC. This can happen after a long gaming session when closing your computer. Since the controller does not have any dedicated software, the only way to close it would be to remove its batteries. This program helps you avoid this scenario.

The program itself acts like a script. Every time you finish your gaming sessions, you'll have to launch the app and answer one simple question. "Do you want to turn off all Xbox 360 controllers?" If you answer yes, all controllers will be disconnected. If you have launched the app by mistake, then the answer should be no. The idea behind this app is to make you avoid situations where you end up wasting battery life and also your time when being forced to look for replacements.

For most individuals, this might look like a waste of time, when in fact it is helpful in many ways, despite it being simple. The amount of detail put into the app might not have been much, but still, the system feels polished. It's not complicated, it does not nag you, and it gives the user power to access its features when this is desired. It's too bad the app won't really work with newer Xbox controller versions. The same issue applies there.

XboxControllerTurnOff is by all means a simple application. Regardless of this aspect, it manages to deliver important functionality, improving the life of any user who needs it. Keeping this in mind, the app is portable, meaning you can keep it on a removable drive and help others facing the same issue as well.
