Microsoft makes a receiver for Xbox 360 wireless controllers that plugs into a PC's USB port, but I haven't had a chance to test it.

(Another thing to encourage use of XInput is the fact that Windows Store applications cannot use DirectInput and thus cannot use any controller other than the Xbox 360 Controller.)

The Windows DirectInput driver for the Xbox 360 controller produce the difference RT - LT as one axis, with no second axis for LT + RT, in order to encourage developers to switch from DirectInput to XInput, which is exclusive to Xbox 360 controllers. Under Windows, SDL uses DirectInput, not XInput, for Xbox 360 controllers.

The layout below is for SDL on the Linux driver. The Xbox 360 controller's native protocol is not the standard USB Human Interface Device protocol. The buttons on a Dual Shock 2 are not pressure-sensitive it is treated as an original Dual Shock. It has become popular among StepMania users because Control Pad directions are always returned as buttons, even in digital mode, so that Left+Right and Up+Down presses on a dance pad work correctly.ДЄn original PlayStation controller or a Dual Shock or Dual Shock 2 with the Analog button turned off will replace all joystick axes with the corresponding direction on the Control Pad. Some people report it works better when plugged into a hub than when plugged directly into the PC. The other mode, described here, allows using one or two PlayStation, Dual Shock, or Dual Shock 2 controllers on a USB HID host.

One mode allows the use of an original Namco Guncon with PS2 software designed for the Guncon 2. The EMS USB2 adapter can be switched between two modes.

Square (Left) or right stick left (green only).

X (Down) OR right stick down (green only).

Circle (Right) OR right stick right (green only).

Triangle (Up) OR right stick up (green only).

Left stick X OR right stick Y (red only).

Left stick Y OR Control Pad Y (green only).

Left stick X OR Control Pad X (green only).

Green appears to be designed for games expecting only digital controls, while red makes all analog controls available. Shoulder buttons 5-8 have the number silk-screened next to an engraved 1 or 2, showing that the manufacturer uses the same mold for PlayStation controllers.ДЄ 'mode' button at the bottom center of the face switches between two modes, signaled by green and red LEDs next to the button. The name of this device, as seen by SDL on Linux, has a lot of spaces: The SteelSeries 3GC Controller is mapped quite oddly. Once USB became standard and sound cards stopped carrying the 15-pin game ports to which joysticks had previously connected, companies started producing USB game controllers specifically for the PC.

USB ports became common on other brands of PC starting in 1999. The original iMac was the first popular personal computer to have USB as its only connection for external input, storage, and output devices.

Results on Windows 8 were similar, except SDL under Windows 8 omits the manufacturer name from the device name, and devices without a name show up as a less informative '2 axis 10 button joystick' instead of the hexadecimal vendor and product IDs. Section headings represent the device name as seen through the test program, under Linux if not otherwise specified. Most tests were performed with a program under Xubuntu 12.04 'Precise Pangolin'. This section describes how various controllers are seen by Pygame, a wrapper around SDL. So unlike a console game, a PC game cannot assume that, say, 'button 1 = jump'. Unlike controllers for a single game console, USB Human Interface Device game controllers for a PC have their buttons in different layouts.Д®ven if the buttons are in the same layout, they may be presented to the application in a different order. 1.3.2 Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows).1.1.3 Logitech Logitech(R) Precision(TM) Gamepad.
