Полезные программы для XBox геймпадов.

Вспоминая времена, когда для пользователей персонального компьютера появилась поддержка контроллера XBox 360, вместе с поддержкой и соответствующими драйверами, тогда же была выпущена утилита Xbox 360 Accessories Software 1.2, которая, при удержании кнопки GUIDE на 360-ом контроллере (кнопка с логотипом XBox), вызывала на экран простенький бар, с информацией о порядковом номере геймпада в системе и состоянии батареи\аккумулятора (при беспроводном подключении):

Ещё была любительская программка (Turn Off Xbox Controller), запуск которой мгновенно отключал беспроводной XBox 360 контроллер.

А что же интересного есть сейчас для геймпадов от Microsoft и не только? Давайте посмотрим.

Утилита Аксессуары XBox (XBox Accessories).

На смену консоли XBox 360 пришла консоль XBox One, на смену ОС Windows 7/8.1 пришла ОС Windows 10, на смену геймпаду XBox 360 пришёл геймпад XBox One, на смену Xbox 360 Accessories Software пришло UWP-приложение Аксессуары XBox.

Приложение Аксессуары XBox предназначено исключительно для геймпадов XBox One. Приложение умеет:

Обновлять прошивку XBox One геймпада:

Показывать статус заряда аккумулятора\батареек:

Менять местами (программно разумеется) кнопки геймпада и отключать\включать вибрацию:

Активировать режим совместной игры (дублирует управление персонажем на два геймпада):

Неплохо, определённый прогресс на лицо. Но хотелось бы индикации заряда в реальном времени, а также предупреждения о низком заряде аккумулятора. Недавно я наткнулся на две соответствующих запросу утилиты.

Первая утилита — XBox One Controller Battery Indicator.

Эта утилита висит в трее и визуально показывает уровень заряда аккумулятора\батареек:

Поддерживаются такие варианты подключения:

• XBOne + dongle;
• XBOne Elite + dongle;
• XBOne S + dongle;
• XBOne S + Bluetooth;
• XB360.

Если контроллеров больше одного, каждые несколько секунд иконка в трее меняет показания, попеременно для каждого геймпада.

Когда заряд источников питания достигает критически низкого уровня, программа сигнализирует об этом вот таким всплывающим окном:

Программа не требует установки в систему. Скачать можно отсюда.

Вторая утилита — XInput Battery Meter.

Эта аналогичная по функционалу программа, она также показывает заряд аккумулятора XBox-геймпада в трее.

Но помимо визуальной индикации на значке в трее, программа выводит всплывающий бар при подключении\отключении геймпада(-ов):

Остальные данные можно глянуть, кликнув правой кнопкой мыши по иконке программы в трее:

Порывшись в интернете, можно найти ещё парочку практически незаменимых программ для XBox-контроллера. На этот раз диагностических.

Первая программа из Microsoft Store — Game Controller Tester.

Эта программа предназначена для всех обладателей XBox геймпадов и любых других геймпадов с поддержкой XInput.

С помощью этой программы можно проверить:

• Качество работы стиков;
• Мёртвые зоны;
• Работу кнопок;
• Работу основных вибромоторов;
• Работу виброкурков.

Вторая программа из Microsoft Store — Controller X.

В принципе то же самое, только морда приятней и платная.

Ну и, наконец, ещё одна полезная программка — Durazno.

Durazno — это XInput to XInput враппер для настройки ремаппинга осей и кнопок на XInput девайсах.
С помощью этой программы можно переназначить: кнопки, оси, курки, подкрутить мёртвые зоны и вибрацию, скрывать геймпад от игры.
Утилита работает с оригинальными контроллерами XBox и XInput-совместимыми.
