Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers xboxdrv/systemd/udev rules

0-README

This is configuration for the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver to support hotplugging with xboxdrv.
By default, it enables 4 controllers and doesn't require the xpad module to be blacklisted.

File locations:
  /usr/lib/systemd/system/xboxdrv.service
  /etc/udev/rules.d/99-xboxdrv.rules

To activate:
  sudo systemctl disable xboxdrv
  sudo systemctl stop xboxdrv
  sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

Plug in the wireless adapter and view the output of
  sudo systemctl status xboxdrv
to see if it starts properly.
Unplug and make sure it stops. (It will throw errors while stopping)

Those files don't work for me, if anyone has the same problem, try my configs instead, replace --device-by-id 413d:2104 with your own device ID listed in lsusb

UPDATE:
Found a simpler solution, not need to install xboxdrv or write the service/rules files :

• sudo modprobe xpad
• lsusb to get the ids (xxxx:yyyy)
• echo "xxxx yyyy" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/xpad/new_id

---

UPDATE2：
Better to use the service/rules instead.
