A game already uses the XInput API to communicate with controllers. These games would not benefit from Xidi. The problem arises with controllers that are not XInput-based controllers.

What a XInput controller means if XInput is just an API on

PS3 at the moment.One more question: Do I need to buy a Quick Charge Kit as well? Edited July 19, 2012 by JamesDeaconUK Maxaxle Share Thanks for the replies again.I might just buy an Xbox 360 controller just to make it feel different to the PS3 when I am playing PC because I am slightly bored of the PS3 at the moment.One more question: Do I need to buy a Quick Charge Kit as well? Don't get a 360 controller.1. It can't do DirectInput for pre-GTA4 games.2. (almost) all Logitech controllers will do DirectInput, and the nicer ones also do XInput. JamesDeaconUK Author Share Can you explain to me what DirectInput and XInput are and could you also suggest a model from Logitech that I should buy.Thanks. eclaireN7 Share Can you explain to me what DirectInput and XInput are and could you also suggest a model from Logitech that I should buy.Thanks. I'm using a Logitech F710, and it's a beaut. It supports Xinput and DirectInput, and it feels comfortable. Can't remember which, but either DirectInput or Xinput (duh) is an older controller input that games supported. Most newer games support only the newer one. ccrogers15 Share Use the xbox 360 controller, connect your PS3 controller through usb and download the driver from modders, or buy a PS2 to usb adapter and use a ps2 controller. Works for me. Im using my PS3 controller. JamesDeaconUK Author Share Just to let everyone know. I have been using a PS3 controller for the mean time and I am having no problems. However, I still ordered the Xbox 360 controller but can't seem to connect it to the laptop via a Wireless Receiver which came with the controller. Starting to frustrate me. If someone could help me connect it properly to the laptop

Amazon.com: Xinput Controller For Pc

As a regular USB controller'.EDIT2: As other people have said, Transistor as well was running on PC using wired PS4 controllers.EDIT3: Halon50 posted further verification and a video here. Looks very similar to the leaked Dev DS4 from before the PS4 reveal. I wonder if the controller will work as an Xinput controller or will it be Directinput only. #2 Uh fuck yes. This is excellent news. #3 I'll believe it when I see it. #5 Hell yes if true. If so I will be buying one of these for PC instead of a new Xbone pad.I'm starting to see lots of PC games shown with PS4 pad prompts. #6 XIV yes plz.Red DS4 is mine then. #7 Fuck yes. No more Motion Joy nonsense. #8 Hope it's true. #9 Looks like I will be getting a PS4 .....controller. #10 Incredible news. I guess it's XInput then. #11 Touch pad could be cool for simple mouse navigation as well. #12 Will def buy another just for ff14 #14 Oh lord please be true. It would be awesome to have a second option that has a touchpad to deal with random steam Popup problems when launching some games. Killthee helped a brotha out on multiple separate occasions! #17 The touchpad too?!?! #18 I refuse to believe. It's literally too good to be true. They have to fuck it up somehow. alr1ght bish gets all the credit :) #19 Incredible news. I guess it's XInput then. you mean Direct Input, not MS's proprietary Xinput. I refuse to believe. It's literally too good to be true. They have to fuck it up somehow. Most newer games only have an option for Xinput (basically how the PC reads the inputs), so someone would have to create an Xinput emulator (which already exists, but somewhat janky). This is all assuming it just uses DirectInput (the default, basic input that will work without any extra drivers). #20 PC gaming just got a new best controller #21 I would buy a second PS4 controller just for my PC (oh yeah, and a bluetooth receiver) #22 I'll take

This news sitting down #23 Incredible news. I guess it's XInput then. DirectInput, probably, though it shouldn't be too hard for someone to make an XInput wrapper. #24 That would be excellent for HTPCs. I just wonder if it will work with PC games natively or something sinilar to the motion joy drivers will have to be used.Either way, awesome news if true. #25 This is awesome, but do any plug and play USB controllers work on Steam? Or does it have to be the 360 controller? If it worked on Steam, that would be incredible. 140.85 Cognitive Dissonance, Distilled #26 Oh shit. Looks like I'm buying a extra one. This is awesome if true. #27 So maybe that's why the lightbar wasn't turned on. #28 Please let this be true.Please let this be true.Please let this be true. #29 Nice. Touchpad mimicking a laptop touchpad sounds awesome too. #30 damn, may use as my next XMBC PC remote, if it has bluetooth. #31 you mean Direct Input, not MS's proprietary Xinput. Not totally proprietary, there are Logitech controllers with an XInput mode. #32 Oh lord please be true. It would be awesome to have a second option that has a touchpad to deal with random steam Popup problems when launching some games. Exactly why I'd want one and for the d-pad. #33 The touchpad too?!?! We are done here, AMAZING! #35 The touchpad too?!?! the big thing for me. Even though right now I'm perfectly happy using the Xbox controller, if I can have some added functionality with the touchpad if I buy a PS4 controller then all the better. #38 I believe the Octodad demo in the Indie area at PAX had a DS4 plugged into a PC. #39 This is awesome, but do any plug and play USB controllers work on Steam? Or does it have to be the 360 controller? If it worked on Steam, that would be incredible. That logitech controllers works with steam. #40 Yes. This is how a lot of the reveal, e3 games were played (PC build, ps4 pad). Retro_ Unconfirmed Member. A game already uses the XInput API to communicate with controllers.

Any controls seem slightly off with the default settings; running in No Man's Sky by clicking the right stick was finicky without manual corrections.(Credit: 8Bitdo)Hardware Alternative: 8BitDo Wireless USB AdapterSteam's Pro Controller support is welcome, but you're out of luck if you want to play non-Steam games with the controller because of how Windows detects it. You can fix this in one of two ways: using a hardware Bluetooth adapter specifically designed for multiple gamepad types, or using a software-based, XInput wrapper.The 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter is a $20 Bluetooth adapter that lets you easily connect the Switch Pro Controller, Switch Joy-Cons, or even the Wii U Pro Controller to your PC. The adapter handles all of the XInput details, so connecting the Switch Pro Controller to it with the physical sync button instead of through your PC's Bluetooth menu makes it work like a PC-friendly Xbox gamepad.(Credit: x360ce/PCMag)Software Alternative: DirectInput-to-XInput WrapperThis is the most powerful and most complicated option. Instead of relying on Steam or a USB adapter to do the job, you use a software wrapper to translate the Pro Controller's inputs into a format that Windows 10 can better work with.X360ce is an open-source program that lets you control how Windows sees your non-XInput controller. It's a robust wrapper that emulates an Xbox 360 gamepad by mapping nearly any other input to the gamepad's inputs. The project is effectively complete and/or dead at this point; x360ce was last updated in 2020, but the program will work just fine even without ongoing development.Betterjoy is another program for getting the Switch Pro Controller, as well as Joy-Cons, working as XInput devices. Its most recent release is from 2021.Software wrappers should get the job done if you're willing to install and tinker with them a bit until the Switch Pro Controller works the way you want it to. It may take more than a bit of work; third-party driver wrappers are extremely finicky.(Credit: Will Greenwald)What About Joy-Cons?Joy-Cons are incredibly powerful and flexible on the Switch, but they're awkward on the PC. The good news is that you can connect Joy-Cons

#41 If this is true I might end up buying one before I ever consider owning the actual consoleI'd love to be able to use Playstation controller layout as my PC pad over 360, but motionjoy is such a crapshoot. #42 And a video of the controller properties screen Button listSquareCrossCircleTriangleL1R1L2R2Start?Share?

Big picture mode works fine with most controllers (Dinput and Xinput). #45 Well I wanted another controller for 2D stuff, so might as well pick up a PS4 controller then. #46 you mean Direct Input, not MS's proprietary Xinput. I honestly had no idea that XInput was proprietary. I figured that it must be free to use since most modern controllers support it. I guess I'll hold on to X360ce for a while longer then! #47 Additional "verification" was in the comment section of the Reddit post: [–]Halon50 161 points 23 hours ago*Hmm. Brb gonna try this (DS4 controller into a PC).EDIT: Yeah it works! For devs or enthusiasts who are interested in this stuff, it shows up on Win7 as a standard "Wireless Controller". The "Test Controller" properties shows 14 buttons and 3 axes of rotation. Here's a screenshot with the R2 and L2 buttons held halfway down so you can see them align with the "X-Rotation" and "Y-Rotation" bars. left stick position is in the box. The right stick is Z-axis and Z-rotation. I guess it's just like the XB360 controller in these respects.
