Hi guys,
My Xbox360 controller has the widespread issue of drifting sticks. This means the analogsticks dont stay centered but can move in a certain range when not touched, and so they give input to the game.
In Helldivers, there seems to be no deadzone for the controller meaning that even the slightest input will trigger a reaction. In my case, the right analog stick made me start aming randomly which was a huge pain.
I had to try a lot of solutions and most of them did not work, maybe i can spare one of you guys the time.
Stuff that does not work with Helldivers: Durazno, Pinnacle Game Profiler
What does work: A japanese made custom driver. Download it here: [Link deleted]
You will have to install it manually using the device manager from Windows. Make sure to extract the whole zip, not only the .inf
After installing, start the .exe in the unpacked directory. An icon will appear in the tray, giving you a lot of settings to play with. You can set a deadzone for the sticks here. In my case, 25% was needed.
I needed to remap the keys within Helldivers, eventhough the controller is still recognised as XBOX 360 controller. Apart from that, this works flawlessly.
Hope this can help anyone!
I have installed my drivers and paired the device up to the computer. I have given it a quick run through on Steam Big Picture mode to make sure it's all working and behaving as I'd expect it to, but now I need to spend time doing something else. I have exited Big Picture mode but my Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for Windows has remained powered and doesn't seem to want to switch itself off.
I have tried holding down the Guide button in the middle of the controller, which is how I switched it on in the first place, but this doesn't appear to do anything. I also can't find any other buttons on the controller that would seem to affect whether the controller is powered or not.
How can I turn off a Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for Windows?

If you're playing a 'Games for Windows Live' enabled game, you should be able to shut it off through the fancy Windows Live menu that appears get when you press and hold the Guide button (the big green X in the center).
If you're not playing a Windows Live, enabled game, it looks like you're out of luck; the only way to shut off your controller short of popping the batteries out is to leave it inactive for a period of time (reports online vary; anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes seems to cover the range).
However, you're not the only one who has been annoyed by this, it seems. I found a free utility for Windows that appears to give you some extra functionality when you press and hold the Guide button, and it allows you to shut off your controller through a brand new dialog box.

...you can power off the wireless Xbox 360 controller with the long press of the Guide button at the center of the controller. Long press of the Guide button will popup the following message.

This turns off both of my Wireless XBox 360 Controllers for Windows on Windows 10 without an external application. It doesn't matter whether Steam is running or not. I'm not sure whether this is OS/driver dependent. It is probably a hardware feature. If you take a closer look at the battery pack, there appears to be some sort of a switch on it.
I found this out the hard way by experimenting. Have had these controllers for years and always just left them to shutdown via timeout.
Unfortunately I appear to be the single person online that is turning the controller off this way. Most solutions suggest installing third party software. I'd be interested to know whether this works for other systems (it could be that both of my controllers are simply bugged).

There isn't any way that I have found besides popping the batteries out and putting them back in. It's very annoying, and causes the batteries to run down far too fast.
