original xbox controller on pc
thomas_surles:
Has anyone here connected an original xbox controller to a pc? If I get an adapter to do so will it work the same as a 360 controller or will it show up as something else? Like if I wanted to play a game such as skyrim that only supports 360 controllers would this work? Or would I need a 3rd party program to make it think it is a 360 controller?

Rather than buy an adapter, why not just get a cheap 360 controller off eBay? :dunno

But seriously. Why not one of those surprisingly good encoders

You can map one as an xbox 360 pad with various drivers. It's a pain in the ass all around.

Original Xbox controller is just a proprietary USB connector.
you can get one of these:

But those sellers annoy me with their stupid high shipping.
or if you are handy you can just solder a usb cable end onto it.
