Key points
- Natively supported by most modern games.
- Microsoft driver maps triggers to same axis in DirectInput games
- The Play & Charge Cable does not work for connecting a wireless controller; it is only for charging.
- The Xbox 360 Chatpad is not natively supported; use the Chatpad Super Driver (wired controllers) or Xbox360wirelesschatpad Driver (wireless controllers). Custom application Controller Companion has experimental support for Chatpad.
General information
- Official Xbox website
- Official Microsoft Hardware division website
- "Xbox on other devices" at Xbox Support
Availability
- Wired controller - Official website

- Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows - Amazon (Required for use of the Wireless Xbox 360 Controller on Windows)
Controller variations
- 9th November 2010 was released Xbox 360 Controller with transforming D-Pad. Design is a "transforming" D-pad that changes from a semi-flush disc to a pop-out plus sign by twisting the D-pad clockwise. The thumbsticks have also been tweaked and feature a more significantly indented center, making it easier to depress either inward. While previous iterations have used concave thumbsticks, the newest variation has a distinct center pivot and a sharper edge along the rim.
Use with PC platforms
Windows
- The controller/receiver should be automatically detected on Windows Vista and later. If it is not detected or you are using Windows XP install the Xbox 360 Accessories Software (for both wired and wireless controllers).
OS X
- Use the 360Controller driver or TattieBogle OS X Driver.
Linux
- This controller is "Plug and Play" on most distributions of Linux.
- Xboxdrv is an alternative to the stock driver and allows many configuration options.
Steam
- Controller can be found in Supported Controller Database and it's correctly recognizable as Xbox 360 controller.
Steam Link compatibility
- Works natively over USB and Wireless Xbox 360 Adapter. All buttons are mapped correctly.
- Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
- Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit Y and disable video and audio streaming.
- May not work great unless connected to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.
Issues fixed
The Xbox Support website has multiple support pages on using the Xbox 360 Controller with Windows.
