Dick Montage Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Hi Having just put together a small PC for use in my living room, for use with light gaming and a little emulation, can anyone suggest some gamepads that they use and are worth getting?

Thanks Xbox One for sure. I tried a few PC gamepad and nothing beats Xbox and it works like magic with PC (unlike Sony one which I also love - but it is harder to get to work and configure). 100 percent sure of this answer Sikh 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Many PC games let you play with an Xbox Wireless Controller instead of a keyboard or mouse. Connect your controller to a Windows device by using a USB cable, the Xbox Wireless Adaptor for Windows, or over Bluetooth. Some Windows devices also come with Xbox Wireless built in so you can connect a controller directly without an adaptor. Mine is a premade gaming PC - with Xbox wireless build in I think. Not even sure it just works.. But at you can see in the above quote from Xbox website. you can do it in 3 different ways. Personally I would just look for a used on online with Xbox wireless adapter - because they are built to be abused and are decently reliable for almost ever. On my other PC Bluetooth alone was workable but a tiny bit laggy. For casual gaming it is fine but hardcore platformers were not really playable as every millisecond matters.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted August 2, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 2, 2021 a YTer named ETA PRIME uses a bluetooth XBOX ONE controller. He does a lot of retro playing. On SBC's and full computers. This is it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HhkYcDlpYk Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
