Dim / Turn Off Xbox Series X home button

José MaríaTraveso · Nov 14, 2020

Hello,

I often play at night in the darkeness for certain terror games. The problem is that the home button of both Xbox Series X and the controller are too light and annoying at night.

Is there a way to dim both Xbox Series X and the controller?

Thanks in advance.

No, there isn't a way officially. You could tape a piece of dark plastic film over the buttons, so it dims for you.

Is going to be any official software/firmware update to solve this?

If not, is there any unofficial plqstic to recommend? Use a dark plastic tape pover a new brand controller seems... Dissappointing...

Thanks!

SAME HERE OMG!!! yeah nothing works. sucks so bad. this glitch prob happened becuz microsoft wants us to buy xbox one x or something.

The high contrast thing did not work for me please help

Same here, when i press the home button, rather than bringing up the bar or anything the screen just gets dim until i press the home button again, returning me to my game. I cant change games or access my home screen without turning off the xbox, and even
when i click my profile it just dims also. High contrast was already off for me. any ideas?

YES

Hello ÚÑKÑØẄÑ ©, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue with your Xbox Series X controller. Here are some possible solutions you could try:

Restart your Xbox console: Press and hold the power button on your Xbox console until it turns off. Next, disconnect the Xbox Series X from its power source. Turn off the Xbox controller and remove its batteries. Finally, connect and turn on your Xbox Series X.

Restart the controller: Press and hold the power button on the controller for several seconds until it turns off. Then turn it back on.

Pair the controller with the console again: Press and hold the sync button on the console until the power button flashes. Then, press and hold the sync button on the controller until the lights on the controller flash.

Best regards.
