Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories is a Windows program designed to help you connect and manage Xbox gaming input devices on your computer. It is a convenient utility for when you want to play games with various emulators like DXBX.

Overview

This monitoring software works with both wired and wireless controllers. The graphical user interface is minimalistic as it consists of a small black bar with an accessory status indicator. It displays the battery status for wireless devices and the assigned quadrants of the connected gamepads.

Thanks to its compatibility with wireless protocols, you can use various Xbox accessories like game controllers, headsets, racing wheels and other devices. It is necessary to mention that there is a helpful manual that explains various aspects about using the tool.

How it works

When users connect a controller to their computer, it is automatically assigned a specific quadrant that glows green to indicate the device’s number and position. Each subsequent added device is given an additional quadrant.

In order to view your controller and its batter status, you can press the Xbox Guide button. Please note, it is recommended you install this program using the dedicated Setup launcher instead of deploying the drivers manually.
