Ring of Light

Composed of four quadrants, the Ring of Light surrounds the Xbox Guide button on the controller and the power button on the console. When you connect a controller to your console, it is assigned a specific quadrant, which glows green to indicate the controller's number and position. Each subsequent controller connected to the console (up to four) is assigned an additional quadrant.

If system problems should arise, the Ring of Light on the console will flash combinations of red.

Expansion Port

The expansion port (with 2.5-mm audio connector) on your controller lets you connect expansion devices like the Xbox 360 Headset to your controller. The port features a 2.5mm audio connector.

Charge Port

The controller is equipped with a charge port on the front of the controller. The charge port works exclusively with the Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit (sold separately).
