This process is nearly as simple as connecting with a USB cable, and is basically identical to connecting the controller to an Xbox console. evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RX=x2,ABS_RY=y2,ABS_Z=lt,ABS_RZ=rt,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y \ Sports games are the most obvious, as anyone who has tried to play FIFA using the strange keyboard/mouse control scheme can attest to. But there are other titles, specifically those which were primarily designed for consoles whose control schemes are so unwieldy away from a pad that playing them any other way is a pain. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame.

Steam's built-in controller configurator recognizes Nintendo's controller as soon as you plug it in, which makes using the controller super easy in Steam games. Enabling it is extremely simple. Start by... plugging the controller into your PC. This controller retains many of the features we loved about the original. It maintains the overall comfortable design and includes texturized rubber grips that provide a great feel in your hands. Similar to its predecessor, it boasts a vastly superior d-pad that you won't hesitate to use in fighting games and platformers, taking inspiration from the Xbox One Elite Series controllers.The Scuf Instinct Pro requires AA batteries, like standard Xbox pads, unlike the Elite which houses a lithium ion battery. The ability to swap in a fresh pair of batteries mid-tournament is potentially a selling point, and lithium ion batteries are meant to have a finite shelf life. Though it's not something I've ever experienced with my Elite pad in the past few years of use. Note: You only need to follow these steps if you're not using the Switch Pro Controller through Steam. use the arrow keys to navigate through the pivots and tab to focus on focusable content inside a pivot section Pull up your Windows Bluetooth settings and start a search for new devices, then press the same small button on the top of your controller one more time. It should automatically pair after 30 seconds to a minute. Using your Switch Pro controllerin PC games

If you like your Pro controller with flip-flopped X/Y and A/B buttons, you can also enable the Nintendo button layout so games default to it (Microsoft had to go and reverse them on its controller, for some reason, and it's still confusing). If this option is not enabled, your Pro controller will be treated like an Xbox controller. Press the small sync button located on the side of the Xbox Wireless adapter for a couple seconds. Watch the flashing Guide button on the controller. When it goes solid, you're connected! Nintendo's perfectly hefty controller blows away the competition on battery life and has a layout that feels just a dad different from the Xbox pad. It's a good fit for basically any PC game that calls for a controller, and we'd recommend it to anyone who owns a Switch, too: it's so much more comfortable to use than a pair of Joycons. Press 'Enter' and your device should be listed here by name. In the event that you see multiple entries, look for the listing containing "event" in the title. If you find that your controller is not listed by name, you can substitute the event number when it comes time. For example, you could play Elden Ring without a controller, but using a pad on a PC felt far better. How we test controllersThe Xbox Series controller includes built-in Bluetooth, which allows for easy wireless pairing with your PC. There are two ways to go about using this controller wirelessly: one is with the official Xbox wireless adapter, and the other is through a standard Bluetooth connection. You don't need the official adapter as long as your PC has built-in Bluetooth, or you have another Bluetooth dongle. Note that if you decide to connect via Bluetooth, without using the 8Bitdo adapter method above, you cannot charge the controller while it's connected, so make sure its battery is topped off before you start. Turn on the Xbox One controller by holding the Guide button. Press the sync button on top of the controller until the Guide light begins to flash rapidly. Though I've done some testing with first-person shooters, I've largely ignored the genre. While it may be necessary for console gamers, we're almost always going to use WASD for any kind of shooter. With that in mind, the games I used mainly for testing are the ones mentioned below:

Either way, it's a fantastic controller that feels great in the hand and is as responsive as you could wish for. It's just painfully pricey with all my chosen greebles. BetterJoy works by reading DirectInput commands as XInput commands, which is what most modern games support. Now that it's installed, your Switch Pro controller should behave like an Xbox 360 controller in most games.But first you have to launch BetterJoy for Cemu (the name of the executable) from its install folder. The original Xbox One Wireless Controller was a staple for PC gaming. With the release of the Xbox Series S/X, we were all curious to see how Xbox improved on an already outstanding gamepad. A wireless Xbox 360 receiver plugs in via USB and can connect to up to four Xbox 360 controllers. To pair, you'll hold down the sync button on top of the Xbox 360 controller until the LED starts to blink; then hold down the button on the wireless adapter for a few seconds. Release and the two should connect shortly. Everything about this controller screams luxury. It's lovely in-hand, plays great, and it comes with all the extra bits you could ask for. It's not cheap, however.So I know this is an old question but xboxdrv doesn't require you to recompile to get a xbox controller clone to work. In most situations it just takes a bit of trial and error with CLI options. Plug your Xbox One controller in with a micro-USB cable, or Series X|S controller with a USB-C cable. You only need to follow these steps if you want to play wirelessly and chose not to buy the 8Bitdo adapter for Bluetooth connectivity. The Xbox One controller is slightly more complicated than the Series X|S controller, because it saw a mid-generation update that changed its internal hardware. We'll get to those changes in a second. But this first option, connecting with the official wireless adapter, will work with any Xbox One controller. And with that you're ready to game: your controller should show up and work in any game that an Xbox controller would.
