How to use an Xbox Controller as a USB PC Gamepad

And they said it would never be done! This article shows you how to use an Xbox controller on your PC via a USB connection! Pretty cool, huh? The only thing that really strikes me is, why the Xbox controller?

What is the real advantage between this and one you buy ready to go for your USB needs? To me it seems a little overboard. Regardless, it is a cool idea and certainly worth a read.

Just like I am an obsessed casemodder I also love to play games, I usually play FPS games but now and then I like to play something else. When I bought Tony Hawk Underground 2 the game simply wasn’t playable with a mouse and keyboard so I needed a gamepad. I had a lot of consoles but I like the Xbox controller the most of all, however that is a personal preference. The big plus of an Xbox is that it is in fact an extremely modded pc, well in my eye’s it is. So if you know how to strip and solder a few wires you can get your Xbox controller to work on your pc, here’s how we do it.
