Key points
- Requires adapter to connect to PC.
- TigerGame driver supports pressure sensitive buttons, but activating them requires "Controller mode" change from digital to analog.[1]
- A, B, X, Y, White, Black, Left and Right trigger are all pressure sensitive 0-255 (unsigned 8-bits), LeftThumb, RightThumb, Back and Start buttons are on/off (digital 1 or 0) as is the D-pad. Left and right analog sticks range in both x and y directions from -32768 to 32767 (signed 16-bit integers).[2]
Controller variations
Xbox Controller S.
- Japan controller variation was released as Controller S (codenamed "Akebono"[3]), which is smaller and lighter, designed for users with smaller hands. It was later released in other territories and by the end of 2003 had replaced the first-generation controller worldwide.
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. Allows to use analog buttons by changing "Controller mode".
- 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.[4]
- 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.
