XBOX 360 Controller Manager

Wireless Xbox 360 controllers have a pretty big drawback compared to the newer Xbox One devices – when used on a PC, they cannot be turned off manually, and waiting for them to power off on their own will drain their batteries quicker than necessary.

XBOX 360 Controller Manager is an application that comes with a solution, enabling you to turn off the devices at any time, as well as keep an eye on their charge levels. It is very intuitive and runs quietly in the system tray.

The application consists of a single executable file that you can launch from any location on your PC, and you don’t have to go through an installation process beforehand. As a result, getting everything up and running could hardly be simpler.

Once launched, XBOX 360 Controller Manager can be found in the system tray. If you click the icon, the battery levels of all connected Xbox controllers will be displayed, and you can configure the program to run at startup automatically.

While the application is running, you can press and hold either the Guide button or the Back and Start buttons to turn your Xbox 360 device off manually. You can set the method to be used from the system tray menu.

Moreover, XBOX 360 Controller Manager can also be useful if you have other Xinput devices, such as the newer Xbox One controllers. It enables you to keep track of their charge status, and you can even trigger a battery notification by pressing the Back and B buttons.

On the whole, XBOX 360 Controller Manager is a great tool for gamers who own Xbox 360 gamepads, and it can come in handy if you are using other types of XInput devices as well. It is simple to set up and very novice-friendly.
