Wired xbox 360 controller used for PC

I have tried literally everything I can think of, I searched it, and a resounding solution were these steps:
1) Download the drivers from "Can't post links yet"
2) Choose Gaming > Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.Don't run the drivers.  Save them to a folder. (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
3) Right click the Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
4) Right click the shortcut you created. Select properties. 
5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode" ChooseWindows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager.  You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
     Continue only if you don't see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
I have tried the steps in order countless times. tried many different compatability modes, and to no avail am I able to get the "Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class" to show up. so I continue through the next 3 steps (8-10) and
the option listed in step 10 is not available. and I have been trying to fix this since 7:00 AM this morning.....

Hi,

  • How to use a wired xbox 360 controller on a Yoga 10?

    So I have an otg cable and a wired 360 controller but nothing happens when I plug it in, the light flashes and the tablet acknowledges that I've plugged something in but nothing else happens.
    I tried using a gamepad app, usb/bt joystick, but it kept telling me something about rooting and downloading roms...is there an easy way to play my android games with a gamepad?
    I do have other usb gamepads

    I have the same problem. It looks like Lenovo have not implemented the standard Xbox Controller mappings for some reason. If I download and run USB/BT Joystick Centre then I can get it the tablet to recognise the controller but the mappings are all screwed up and I can only get the left stick working, not the right stick. My BT Madcatz Ctrlr works fine though and being BTLE the battery lasts for ages between charges.
    I hope Lenovo sort this out, it's probably a really easy fix.

  • Wired xbox 360 controller with Mac (steam)

    I am new to steam but is there a way to have a 360 controller plug into your Mac via USB (do u need a special commuter controller or a adapter?) and use it to play games with steam? Also with steam can u plug in a 360 headset to talk or even get a Bluetooth for the computer to work with steam, any help would be great.

    This guy has made a great driver package that works with both the 360 wired and wireless+receiver controllers: http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver. After install, there's a preference pane in System Preferences which you can configure and test the controllers. However, the 360 wired headset (the one that plugs into the controller) doesn't work. I dunno about the wireless 360 headset (the one that directly connects to the receiver) but I imagine it wouldn't.
    As for other headsets with Steam, any microphone that the system recognizes will work. Go into Steam's settings and configure which mic you want to use with Steam. Unfortunately (this is my major annoyance with Valve's stuff on both Mac and Windows) you cannot configure voice to come through another speaker. So if your headset has a speaker, it won't be used. Voice will come out the same speakers as the game's sound. Annoying.

  • MacBook Pro restarting after unplugging a wired Xbox 360 Controller

    Everytime I unplug or connect the wired controller to a virtual machine, my mid 2012 Macbook Pro crashes and restarts. I have no idea what could be causing this. Has anybody experienced this before?

    I've found a solution to this problem, (although rather unfavorable) I simply removed all traces of  360 controller plugin that I downloaded from http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver. I can no longer play games with it, but unplugging the controller no longer crashers my computer. If anyone has a solution to this issue, please reply to this post.

  • WIRED xbox 360 controller will NOT recognise

    hey, i have been searching EVERYWHERE for a solution for this and i am still unsure as to what is going on.
    i have a wired controller, when i plug it in it comes up as unknown device, i have tried everything such as installing the drivers from microsoft, right clicking on the "unknown device" and trying to "update driver" and click "browse
    my computer for driver software" then "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". it does not however come up with a list to pick from, instead it just shows a box of models and the only one i can select is "unknown device".
    i have uninstalled multiple times, restarted, you name it.
    i am on windows 7 and pc is more than capable of running every game.
    im coming on here as a last resort before i crack the shits and run it over with my car.
    thanks.

    ok im now 85% sure its the controller, must be dodgey, wont work on the old mans computer either
    thanks for the help anyway guys :)
    According to your description, it won't work even on another PC, seems mostly a hardware issue, I would suggest you contact a vender or replace with a new one.

  • How to install xbox 360 controller on mac mavericks?

    how to install wired xbox 360 controller on mac mavericks?
    i installed this driver
    http://files.tattiebogle.net/360/360ControllerInstall.dmg
    but is not working

    @mtnbkr81,
    So you are trying to use the wireless controller? All that I have read points to more reliability for the wired when using it on a computer. Perhaps you should save money for a wired one?
    I also forgot to mention the installation procedures on the .11 version. My controller does get recognized but as a genereric controller. Not specific to xbox360. But you can try this:
    -Uninstall the pref pant and the couple of other files that have been written to your MAC. Use the search on "controller"
    -once deleted run the .11 version of tthe driver. MAKE SURE THE CONTROLLER IS NOT IN THE USB PORT.
    -after the installation is complete open up preferences adn you should see an xbox360 option
    -open it and then plug in the controller
    -it should then get recognized. You may need to play with some of the options.

  • XBox 360 controller doesn't work in game in Outlast

    I got Outlast, that new horror game, and a Wolf Among Us. I installed Tattleboogie's drivers and using an wired xbox 360 controller (original). In Wolf Among Us it works fine, in the Tattleboogie's settings everything shows as working with responce on every button, but in Outlast, even though the controller is identified and shows up in settings and in the menus as if it were working, it simply doesn't. I get no responce from presses at all.
    Also, I've tried Game Companion and Joystick Mapper, but those just doesn't work. I can get some movement, but it's irregular and doesn't correspond properly. So I do NOT want to use that kind of software, and shouldn't need to since Outlast should have full controller support and obviously recognize it.
    So anyone know anything about this?
    I'm running on a Macbook Pro 13" with Mavericks installed.

  • [solved] Xbox 360 Controller (wired) as mouse

    So I'm mouseless but have an unused Xbox 360 Controller. How can I get it to function as a mouse?
    ls /dev/input gives:
    by-id by-path event0 event1 event2 event3 event4 event5 js0 mice mouse0
    and dmesg gives:
    usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2

    usbcore: registered new interface driver xpad
    xpad: X-Box pad driver
    I've run the usual gamut of google/forum searches to no avail. Seems that most people who do have their controllers functioning as a mouse are looking for ways to disable the behavior. As always, thanks for the help.

  • How do I use the Xbox 360 controller

    Hello,
    As everyone knows the XBOX 360 controller is the definitive controller for Windows gaming.
    I'm working on two projects now.  One in Flash and one in Unreal Engine.  I thought,"Wouldn't it be great to work on three projects at once."
    So the idea came to me that a comedic style hockey game could be made in Flash.  Flash is great for action games, and the P2P networking(thought could have been done better) is just sufficient to make a good multiplayer experience.
    I do not however want an action oriented hockey game without analog sticks.  I've gotten the XBOX 360 controller to work in C/C++ in a Tekken Style Open Wolrd Game, and it was great.  Where do I get the XBOX360 code to integrate them into a flash game?
    ,Jim

    The GameInput API's for Actionscript 3.0. You can get when you download and install the Adobe Gaming SDK, after that you would need to import the SWC.

  • Using the xbox 360 controller in my java application

    Wanted to know if there is a way to get the xbox 360 controller or the nintendo wii to work with my java application. Has anyone been able to access either controller using java.
    Thanks
    GradStudent

    nope. you can use jinput to use game controllers... but only game controllers
    that can be plugged in and have a driver.
    i dont have any game systems, do the controllers have a usb attachment and computer drivers?

  • XBox 360 Controller for Windows

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to get my xbox 360 controller to sync on XP under Bootcamp. If I plug in the receiver under OS X and sync the controller it syncs straight away, if I try and do the same under windows it just blinks at me. I've tried using a powered hub but that made no diffrerence. It's odd how it works on OS X but not under windows, as it's the same hardware, which makes me think it's likely a driver issue?
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, but it's not as simple as not syncing the controller properly. I've done some more testing.
    The front-most USB port does not work at all, well it supplies voltage, but no functionality. It doesn't even accept the apple mouse. So this may be related. BTW the Macbook is at most 2 weeks old, so I'll have this sorted at the genius bar.
    I CAN get the xbox controller to sync if I attach a powered USB hub to ONLY the middle USB socket, which is weird. I think with the flaky bottom port and this weird behaviour with the xbox controller, it's looking like I should just have the apple techs go over the USB ports before I pull out any more hair trying to figure out why it's happening!

  • Xbox 360 controller (wired) and compatability with Windows 7

    Ok, here's the scoop. I have an Xbox 360 controller and a plug 'n play kit for it. I have tried the normal solutions for hooking it up and getting it to recognize in Windows 7 (32 bit) Home Prem. Edition, and all I get is it is an 'Unspecified' device in the Control Panel, and as a result, it will not be recognized in games as a controller, and will not work. I have installed the proper drivers and the 360 Accessories for Windows, but even that doesn't recognize the controller when it is plugged into my USB 2.0 port. The driver is properly installed (Windows told me the driver was installed correctly when I first plugged in my controller, after installing the program from the Microsoft website), so I have no idea why it is not working. I have followed all the stepd that I can find. Please give me some assistance.

    If you already have the software installed, go to programs and features and uninstall Microsoft XBOX 360 Accessories 1.2.
    1) Download the drivers from http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming
    2) Choose Gaming > Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.                                           
    Don’t run the drivers.  Save them to a folder.
    (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
    3) Right click the Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
    4) Right click the shortcut you created.  Select properties.
    5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode"                  
    Choose Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
    6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
    7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager. 
    You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
    Continue only if you don’t see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
    8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
    9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
    10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
    Ignore the warning.
    Should work now.
    Please help :(  It's still not working!   Your suggestions helped almost everything.  I don't think there was the Microsoft Common Controller for Windows class/Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit in Device Manager before I tried
    your tips of reinstalling under that old service pack compatibility mode.
    Now that I see that, I thought it'd be fixed... but no!  If I run joy.cpl (the Game Controllers window) it still doesn't see my Xbox controller.  It still isn't recognized by the actual 360 controller software for my PC.  
    I did try updating the drivers again in the device manager, and I am plugged into a Blue USB port.  What else?  Is it something to do with my battery pack or something?  Help!!
    I don't know if this will notify me of a response, so please feel free to email me at smorin1487 @   gmail

  • Using a Xbox 360 controller with Qosmio G30

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use the xbox 360 controller with pro evo soccer 2010 on my laptop.
    At first it was flashing, but then it stopped.
    The drivers and everything have installed correctly, is there any other way???
    In device manager, there are no exclamation marks, it seems fine.
    But the game wont play, unless I use the keyboard.

    Hello
    Maybe the controller is faulty.
    Have you tested it on your Xbox 360 and does it work?
    Can you also test another controller?

  • Using xbox 360 controller, is it possible?

    Is there a class I need to get or is it not even possible to use the xbox 360 controller in java

    I'm guessing it's possible, but you would need an adapter to plug it into your computer (or have a working Java JRE on your XBox) and likely require some JNI to communicate with the port to which you attach the controller. I've never tried it, but I'm just saying I believe it is possible.
