We capitalize "Wireless" for a reason—not because the word is a proper noun per se, but because the Xbox Wireless controller leverages Microsoft's wireless protocol called "Xbox Wireless." Though the name could benefit from some creative refinement, you can find comfort in the fact that, since 2016, the Xbox Wireless controller offers much-needed Bluetooth compatibility as well. 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. 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.

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. Turn on the Xbox Series controller by holding the Guide button. Press the sync button on top of the controller until the Guide light begins to flash rapidly. 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. The easiest way to do that is with the officially licensed Hyperkin Duke controller, a painstaking recreation of the monstrous original pad. This updated version comes with a USB cable for easy plug-and-play with modern systems. But if you really want to use your old Duke or S controller from an original Xbox, you can buy this adapter and pair it with the XB2XInput driver to make the 20+ year old controller play nice with your PC.Thanks in advance for the help. Please keep in mind that I am a novice: the more detail, the better.

Plug your Switch Pro controller into the PC with a USB cable. You should be able to use the USB-A to USB-C cable that came with the controller, or you can use a USB-C to USB-C cable, if your PC has the appropriate port. Within a few seconds, Windows 10 should pop up with a new connected device: Pro Controller. This forum mentioned that I need to install a patch to xpad.c to make my controller work. Advice was given on how to patch a document as a response to that guy's question. However, in this command, I need to save the patch in the same place where xpad.c is apparently saved. This leads to my questions: Some people might find the more hefty controller a bit jarring at first since it's heavier than the standard Xbox One controller by a few ounces. And while it's nice to swap out the standard d-pad, both the cross and faceted alternative d-pads take some getting used to, especially in fighting games like Dragonball FighterZ or Mortal Kombat 11. Where is this xpad.c? Does it install with xboxdrv? I've tried to search for it on my computer, and I get some header files for it, but I can't move the patch into the folder where its located. This process is nearly as simple as connecting with a USB cable, and is basically identical to connecting the controller to an Xbox console.

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. Plug your Xbox One controller in with a micro-USB cable, or Series X|S controller with a USB-C cable.
