How to turn off the controller vibration

controllerswindows 10

I'm using a wired xbox360 controller with Windows 10. I'd like to kill the controller vibration permanently, if I can – it messes with my motor control something awful.

I can't seem to find a setting to turn it off, though. Short of editing every game's config file or finding the in-game setting, is there a way to just say "Please don't rumble ever again, controller"?

I did some googling for you, and you can't turn it off, so I did more googling and found this video that someone made that shows how to remove motors.

You'll need a Torques T8 w/ security bit screwdriver.

  1. Flip the controller over and remove battery pack and place it to the side. Remove 6 outer screws, and then remove the 7th screw last.
  2. Grab charging port and mic connector, then pull the battery pack forward.
  3. Ground yourself by touching metal. Remove white plugs, remove rumble motors and set to side.
  4. Take back plate and put it back on with the controller buttons first. Push springs of battery in and make sure of its quick sound.
  5. Screw the middle screw in first, then test if all buttons work. Screw in outer screws. Put battery pack in.
