Xbox Accessories for Windows 10

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller paired with the Xbox Accessories app gives you nearly unlimited ways to play. Create and edit configuration profiles for any number of gaming scenarios?--one for the way you play Halo, another for fighting in Killer Instinct, and still another for how you drive in Forza.

The app lets you store up to 256 different configurations in the app and save 2 of them to your controller at a time. Switch between them using the profile switch at the top of the controller. Since the 2 configurations are stored on the controller, they'll be at your fingertips whether you're using it at home, a friend's house, or a tournament.

Buttons and paddles are fully customizable for each configuration. Choose from 14 digital inputs for each button. You can also assign the same action to multiple buttons. For example, use either the bumper or paddle to throw a grenade in Halo. The app lets you edit each button one by one, or review and remap multiple buttons at once.

In addition to button mapping, you can select a sensitivity curve to fine-tune how physical movement of the thumbsticks translates to on-screen movement and control. For example, if you're playing an FPS game as a sniper, you might want to reduce initial sensitivity for slower aiming, but allow a fast response to react to an enemy sneaking up behind you.

You can also adjust trigger set points. Floor it instantly in Forza. Or, give your trigger a bit of a dead zone to more easily feather the gas. In shooters, add a dead zone to prevent misfires or go the other way and make it a hair-trigger.

That's not all. You've got 4 vibration sliders to adjust just how your controller gives you feedback. Swap left and right thumbsticks. Even the brightness of the Xbox button is yours to control.

To start, we'll give you some recommended configurations, plus some game-based settings straight from the developers. Of course, you can always can jump right in with your own settings. It's all up to you.
