The video above instructs you on how to install the necessary driver so that your PC can actually read the input from the Xbox One controller, as well as how to feed rumble instructions back to the controller. You can simply plug the Xbox One controller into your PC and then proceed to follow the instructions in the video below. If you have a USB compatible cable with a micro-USB plug that fits into your Xbox One controller (and you might have a spare if you have a charging cable for any smartphone that isn't the iPhone 5 or higher). If you try to use the latter it won't work.Īnyway, enterprising software design aficionado Lucas Assis – an enthusiast who modified his own version of X360ce, a software wrapper that allows you use any controller for PC games specifically designed for use only with an Xbox 360 controller – has updated his Xbox 360 controller emulator to better support the Xbox One controller. And take special note: it's a micro-USB cable not a mini-USB cable. My 2 cents.Another problem is that due to the change in the way the cables work, you'll also need a special micro-USB cable to plug into the controller. So you can now use YOUR FAVORITE controller with Xbox/Xbox One/PS5/Win10/Android/iOS.īUYER BEWARE: Be skeptical of any other wireless controller NOT made by Microsoft/Sony, it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY it would use Bluetooth, they are using some other wireless transmission. TLDR: Microsoft and Sony saw a benefit in selling their controllers to all of their customers. Some companies do have wireless versions, but I would stay away from them because what they have to do would create a lot of input lag so if it's not a wireless controller from Microsoft or Sony I would go with a wired controller from a reputable company such as Razer, Logitech, etc. So now you can play on your favorite console or PC with your favorite controller. What third parties are doing now is releasing Xbox one & PS5 styled controllers. And if Razer doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity I doubt any other company does. I have never seen a third-party controller with Bluetooth, they're always wired, even Razors Wolverine ultimate $160 (last I checked) is wired.

I THINK the only thing that is kept top secret is Bluetooth. Sony and Microsoft finally showed true intelligence & foreward thinking with realizing people were making a decision on what console they were going to buy based solely on their ptefered controller. This is 'typical' people responding with what they think they know and, doing 'ZERO' actual research.
