Use with PC platforms

Windows

A new version of XBCD driver allows Original Xbox Controllers to be used on Windows machines.
Mayflash Tigergame Xbox joystick driver is the Alternative to XBCD.
Custom application Xb2XInput can translate the input from an Xbox OG controller over to a virtual XInput/DirectInput device for games to make use of, without needing any unsigned drivers to be installed.

OS X

Use the 360Controller 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

Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual assignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.

Steam Link compatibility

Works natively over USB Adapter.[2]
Needs remapping on Steam Link. Two shoulder buttons missing.
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.
Won't work great unless you connect it to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.
