Questions
Does this work with Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One controllers?
Yes, and with most controllers that copy the Xbox layout. Older Xbox One controllers without Bluetooth need a cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter.
Can I test the trigger rumble?
In Chrome or Edge on Windows, yes: use the trigger rumble button in the vibration test. Other browsers only play the main motors.
How do I fix Xbox controller drift?
Update the controller in the Xbox Accessories app, clean around the stick, and raise the dead zone in your game. Our Xbox drift guide covers each step and when to repair instead.
