If you’re like most gamers, your Xbox controller is always close at hand. But what if you could keep it attached to your gaming console, no matter where you are? Here’s how:

  1. Make sure your Xbox controller is charged. The controller will need a few minutes of charging time to be ready for use.
  2. Place the Xbox controller on a flat surface so that the battery contacts are facing down.
  3. Press and hold down the power button until the Xbox logo appears onscreen and the console powers off.
  4. Reconnect the power cable to your console and press the power button again to turn it on. The Xbox controller should now be ready for use. ..
