[Tutorial] Original Xbox USB controller adapter. - SpookyZalost - June 21st, 2018 so this one took me like 10 min to make and was one of the first actual hardware mods I ever did. what you will need.
you'll basically end up with a result like this which works with all OG Xbox controllers, great for making PC game pads on the cheap! and the best part, you can still use that controller on your XBOX! so enjoy and have fun! Edit: I wanted to add that you can do the reverse of this as well with a USB female to Xbox male connector, that way with a modded Xbox you can plug in a keyboard, mouse, Flash drive, whatever and don't need to attach a network cable if that's what you want to do. the best way to do things is to buy a USB extension cable and just make one of each for that reason. RE: Original Xbox USB controller adapter. - Darth-Apple - June 21st, 2018 Nice! That's the downside to PC gaming is trying to use the keyboard for everything. Does this only work for certain games or does the driver map it to certain keys on the keyboard? RE: Original Xbox USB controller adapter. - SpookyZalost - June 21st, 2018 for the PC? yeah pretty much, you map the gamepad controls to keys on the keyboard, it's great if you've got a game that you want to use a controller on but it doesn't support it outright. on the xbox however if you want to use a keyboard I believe it's detected like a USB keyboard on PC but only if the game supports it, so like for example if you've got an RPG you can use a USB keyboard to type in the name's of your character or use it for an online game... the keyboard on Xbox is much better for Xbox ports of PC games like doom where you can use a keyboard and mouse on the xbox instead of a gamepad/controller. RE: Original Xbox USB controller adapter. - Guardian - June 21st, 2018 Very nice. Could be a profitable idea for buying up old XBox controllers and converting to PC controllers. |
