Maybe I didnt do something correctly, if you or anyone else wants to give it a quick try and report the results then that would be great. You're supposed to run the included configurator program after installing the driver, as well as setting it to run at startup (it shows up in the system tray/Taskbar at bottom right). All it took was a quick uninstall of the 360 drivers, a Registry scan with CCleaner, and a reboot, and then a reinstall of the drivers, and everything was back to normal. Pressing the orb/guide button doesnt produce the help prompt onscreen, but it does light up. But I manually installed the driver and when I rebooted the gamepad no longer worked. He claims that it supplements rather than replaces the official driver, adding extra functionality. That driver doesnt seem to have a name and the page is is japanese/chinese/whatever, you can use Google Translate if you want to read it.Īt Awesome custom Xbox 360 controller driver for Windows there is a guy who links to the page above and claims that the driver works. There is a driver called XBCD that's been around for awhile, but it's not compatible with Windows 8 from what I've heard, and it can BSOD your PC. It supports a ton of games and lets you create game-specific profiles. I also found a program called Pinnacle Game Profiler, decided to test-drive it and it's pretty good.

JoyToKey and Xpadder can get around those limitations and can even let you use your gamepad to control your pc. Some games will let you remap the keys, but others wont, or they will, but wont let you remap any key to any function you want.
