Will a usb game controller work on a HP ENVY with GE FORCE gaming

 I have a new Hp Envy with the GE Force gaming installed . I want to use a standard usb game controller similar in design to the  Xbox or Playstaion versions. Will a generic controller be compatable with the GE Force games  ?

Sure.
Just make certain that it has drivers for the Windows version you plan on using.

  • "Xbox 360 USB game controller" and MacOS 10.5.x

    Anyone know if the "Xbox 360 USB game controller" will work with Mac game that can use USB game controllers?
    thanks,

    I recently got Rock Band for Xbox 360 and I was able to get the drum kit to work using two pieces of software, Gamepad Companion and an Xbox 360 controller driver for OS X.
    You should be able to find both with a google search. I would think that the Xbox controller will be very similar to the drum kit.
    I used the drum kit in garageband as a rudimentary midi drum kit (the mapping of the drum pads the keyboard was by trial and error, but it only took about 15 minutes).

  • How to set up an USB game controller

    How to set up an USB game controller on a mac? I am at wits end! Need some help?

    If you already have an iTunes account, simply use that. You do not need a new account.
    Open the iTunes app on the iPad. Go to the bottom of the screen and tap Sign in.

  • Usb game controller compatible with arch

    I just rediscovered mupen64 and snes9 and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good usb controller that will run easily with arch. I never got mupen64 working well enough in leopard to warrent buying a controller before. I've been looking at

    any other suggestions/confirmation that either of those works well.

    I'm using a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad right now and it works perfectly.  I'm not really playing any games on Linux at the moment but I do fancy myself a game programmer so I test the stuff I'm working on with this pad.
    I agree with the above posters that "PC" controllers seem to always lack the quality of "console" controllers.  I went to a local Gamestop to buy a "wired" Xbox 360 gamepad but they told me they didn't have any and Microsoft isn't making them anymore.  So, I bought the Logitech gamepad and I'm pleased with it.  It doesn't seem to be of low quality at all.  I am glad in a small way that I bought it instead of the Microsoft gamepad because I prefer not to support Microsoft if I can find a suitable alternative.  Kind of like why I use only Linux .

  • Will new USB hard drive work in Safe Mode?

    Hello,
    I just a had a recent post about some Toshiba laptop issues I am having.  To make sure I don't lose my files, I have have been looking at a Western Digital 500GB USB drive. 
    I'm able to boot to Safe Mode OK, and USB thumb drives have worked.  I noticed this WD USB drive has software to install.  Will I be able to use the USB hard drive for the first time in Safe Mode, or will I need to install the software first (which I don't think I'll be able to do in Safe Mode).
    Just making sure I can before I buy it, thanks!
    Solved!

    you should not have any problem installing the WD software in safe mode and perform the backup.

  • Will the Razer Onza controller work with my Macbook Pro or iMac?

    I am thinking about getting one, and this will be the dealbreaker for me. I will be using it for gaming on my Xbox and Macbook Pro. I primarily want to play Steam games like TF2 on my Mac. I'm on Lion OS.

    Yes, it works.
    Why wouldn't it?
    It just uses bluetooth.

  • Will this usb/firewire card work under OSX jaguar?

    here is the link to it. I know it says windows but could it possibly work on mac?

    Vstream,
    When you hear the startup chime, two things can happen that might give the appearance the 'book has shut off.
    1. After the chime, the Wallstreet goes through a memory test and nothing appears to be happening. This test can take up to 45 seconds with a lot of RAM. After the self-test, the display lights up and the OS begins to load. This test does NOT run through a restart, only a cold start. If you hear the startup chime, let the 'book sit for a few minutes and see if anything happens. Also listen for the spinning of the HD below the 'delete' key; if it is still running, the 'book is still ON.
    2. When running OSX, the Wallstreet has a peculiarity where if the power manager has lost all power, the 'book will start up to a dark display and/or wake to a dark display. The only fix for this condition is to boot to a pre-OSX CD (any will do); this will correct a problem with the power manager. The power manager can lose power if you have no working main battery plus the power adapter is unplugged...then the internal rechargeable PRAM battery runs down.
    I would try this: Make sure the 'book is OFF by unplugging the power adapter and removing the main battery. Open the CD tray by pushing an opened paperclip into the little hole next to the button and load your pre-OSX Classic CD. Connect the power adapter, then press the power button and hold down the 'c' key; if no startup chime, reset the power manager, then press the power button again while pressing the 'c' key.
    If it starts to the CD, open the Startup Disk in Control Panels under the Apple menu, select OSX, save it by closing the control panel, then click restart in the Special menu and see if it will boot to OSX.
    Edit: Make sure all peripherals and PC cards are removed.

  • Will Microsoft USB keyboards still work under Lion, including programmable buttons?

    The MS Intellitype driver lists compatibility through 10.6.x. I don't want to upgrade, only to discover that my Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is crippled by lack of driver support for all the shortuct buttons it has.

    I heard back from Microsoft Hardware technical support, in a rather vague response:
    Microsoft PC Hardware Technical Support

    Hi Rochelle,  
    Thank you for your reply.
    Rochelle, IntelliType Pro software is compatible with Mac OS, however as the Lion OS is a latest OS; we do not have any driver for this and hence it is incompatible with the software. But please be assured that as soon as we have the driver, it will be uploaded on www.microsoft.com/hardware/downloads  
    i apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

  • USB keyboard not working on new Mac Pro with Mavericks

    I just bought the new Mac Pro and my apple USB keyboard won't work. I have a very old apple USB keyboard that is working but I want to use my newer one. The newer keyboard is a full one also, including the number pad.
    Thanks

    no difference in ports just troubleshooting, ie if it didn't work on any of the 4 ports, likely a kb issue
    if it worked on one of the other 3 ports, you have a broken usb port on the mac pro

  • Will my iphone 5 still work if I unregister it with Apple and will iMessage still work without it being registered?

    Can anyone out there help me. If I unregister my iphone 5 will it still work and will it still be able to receive and send iMessages? Will this mess up iTunes?

    If you turn off iMessage, then you can't send or receive iMessages... in case that wasn't apparent.
    The problem is the android users who did not turn off iMessage on their iPhones before they switched to something else.  They need to fix that. If they don't, then your only option is to turn off iMessage or forcibly send the messages as SMS messages.

  • Will iPhone 5S (contract-free) work in Saudi?? With any carrier? And any sim card from any other countries (other than US)

    Will iPhone 5S (T-Mobile contract-free) work in Saudi? With any other carrier? And any sim card from any other countries (other than US)

    The phone will "work" with any standard GSM carrier.
    However, LTE and iPhone features like FaceTime, iMessage, Visual Voicemail may not work unless you use a carrier that officially supports iPhones.

  • Latest iMac: USB power requirements unclear, Microsoft USB game pad stopped working

    Hello,
    I am sorry that the cut and paste information is in German.
    I am a long time Apple iMac user and used the Game Pad since years with no USB power issues.
    Now, I have just received my late 2014 iMac with Maverick OS X.
    Hardware-Übersicht:
      Modellname: iMac
      Modell-Identifizierung: iMac15,1
      Prozessortyp: Intel Core i7

      Boot-ROM-Version: IM151.0207.B00
      SMC-Version (System): 2.23f11
    Ever since, I cannot use my Microsoft USB Game Controller any more.
    Controller:
      Produkt-ID: 0x028e
      Hersteller-ID: 0x045e  (Microsoft Corporation)

      Geschwindigkeit: Bis zu 12 MBit/s
      Hersteller: ©Microsoft Corporation
      Standort-ID: 0x14600000 / 16
      Verfügbare Stromstärke (mA): 500
      Erforderliche Stromstärke (mA): Unbekannt (Gerät wurde nicht konfiguriert) <--- Device unknown, and not configured. The power requirements are unclear.
    What can I do to get the USB controller accepted again? I have a 3rd party OS X driver that does work for me. I'd assume, this issue is at the HW layer, during boot-up and initial hand shake, not a SW driver's issue.
    Sincerely,
    Michael

    I guess I should have read the forum first.  I zapped the pram and everything seems back to normal.  Sorry for not trying this 1st.  Issue solved.
