However, for those users that want to keep their controllers going in the year 2016, yet, there’s a way to keep on rocking with these controllers. Windows XP was the last officially supported version of XBCD 0.2.7 with some 32-bit work for Windows Vista. I even posted a blog article talking about the Wireless Xbox 360 receivers and controllers and how awesome they were. Like all things, XBCD development stopped as many thought it wasn’t necessary to develop. Well, one of those things to do is to recycle the controller onto your PC. Since Microsoft was very quick the bury the Xbox original console this left a void of people wondering what to do with their old hardware. They also mentioned that this dongle would work with “all future Xbox 360 devices.” That is of course until the Xbox One came out. This dongle was designed to work with the “Games for Windows” logo during Windows 7.

Even then Xbox 360 controller support for PC users was released around 2008 giving a few-year gap between its initial release date in 2005. It wasn’t until the introduction of the Xbox 360 that Microsoft gave support for their users to use their beloved controllers on their PC’s and other devices. Microsoft at the time really didn’t want to associate hardware from their console with hardware with their PC because a few corporate people back then felt it would disenfranchise their user base from actually purchasing an Xbox. They made a bunch of controllers for their X-Box units which people began to realize that if you just splice a USB cable on the end of the proprietary connection then you could use the Xbox Controller on your PC. History time!īack in the days when Microsoft got involved with the console wars. Trust no one! For additional and general questions refer to the FAQ of this site.
