Any Good USB Controllers I Should Get for Emulation?

[Polarise]

I never heard of xpadder, not sure how it works. But if you want to use it on pc, you plug the cord in or use the little usb receiver thingy. Then you hold the x Button when turning the controller on, after it should register as Xbox 360 controller on the pc. The controller it self has mouse emulation, it should be activated by holding A button when turning on the controller, then press Select + X button to enable it.

Remember to use the usb receiver when using a pc or it won't work.


Gamesir apparently did, and it works at least. But yes, there is better looking controllers out there.

Unfortunately my computer isn't receiving any input. Do I have to install a driver or anything?

No, what pc are you using? if you using windows, the xinput driver should already be installed. Did you try connecting the controller with a cable?

I use a xbox 360 Afterglow controller. It's slightly smaller then it's Microsoft counterparts and comfortable. It is also aesthetically pleasing to look at as well. If you're handy with a soldering iron you can also change out the LEDs fairly easily. In mine I have UV LEDs and they look amazing set against the black PCB board. I use mine for all of my PC games and emulators as well (SNES, N64, GC, WII emulation) and haven't had a problem with any of the emulators.

You may want to change out those LEDs. As I'm sure you know, UV light is harmful to the skin.

yes I have. When I hold the X or A button while pressing the home button, a second of the four LEDs light up.

If you using the xinput, only one led should be on, the Xinput one (last one on the right) Is required to connect with micro usb or use usb receiver. (It does not work with bluetooth)

I don't know if my computer has xinput. Where can I get it?

Is already installed with windows OS. O_O

Xinput is just the technical term to say Xbox 360 emulation on windows, for controllers.

Apparently I was supposed to plug it in directly into the computer. I was using a USB hub. Now my computer recognizes it. At least I know that it isn't a waste of money.

Yes, Well aware. However with the LEDs I chose they are over half the output of the originals so it would probably take a good 10 years to notice any side effects

During the day if they are on you cant even tell they are lit up. At night, you can deff tell they are.

Well is it possible usb hubs do not function properly with some usb devices even with enough supplied power?

Hah, so foreshadowing cancer in 10 years, instead of doing what's suggested to be cancer free. Well it's your skin..
