The Xbox One controller does not have built-in settings to turn off the light directly on a PC. However, you can achieve this by using a third-party tool or application that allows you to customize the controller’s behavior on your computer. One popular application that can help you do this is “Xbox Accessories” from Microsoft.
Please note that the official “Xbox Accessories” app may only be available for Windows 10. If you are using a different operating system, you may need to explore other third-party software options.
Method 1: Using Xbox Accessories App (Windows 10)
- Install Xbox Accessories App: If you haven’t already, download and install the “Xbox Accessories” app from the Microsoft Store. You can find it by searching for “Xbox Accessories” in the Microsoft Store or visiting the app’s page directly.
- Connect Your Controller: Connect your Xbox One controller to your PC using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter.
- Open Xbox Accessories App: Launch the “Xbox Accessories” app on your Windows 10 PC.
- Update the Controller (Optional): If prompted, update the controller’s firmware to ensure it is running the latest software.
- Customize the Controller: In the app, you can see an image of the controller, and you can customize the behavior of the buttons and triggers. Look for an option related to the controller’s light or LED.
- Turn Off the Light: Depending on the app’s features and capabilities, you might find a setting to disable the controller’s light or adjust its brightness. If such an option is available, toggle it off or set the brightness to zero to turn off the light.
- Save the Configuration: After making changes, click on the “Save” or “Apply” button to apply the customizations to your controller.
Please keep in mind that the available settings in the “Xbox Accessories” app may vary depending on the controller model and the app version. If you can’t find an option to turn off the light, you may need to explore other third-party tools or software that offer more extensive controller customization options.
Method 2: Using Third-Party Software (Windows)
Alternatively, you can look for third-party software or applications designed specifically for customizing Xbox controller settings. Some of these third-party tools may offer more advanced options, including the ability to disable the controller’s light. However, always be cautious when using third-party software and make sure to download from reputable sources to avoid potential security risks.
Before downloading any third-party software, do some research to ensure it’s safe and suitable for your needs. Read user reviews and check for recommendations from trusted sources to find a reliable solution for your controller light customization.
