Does the Xbox windows controller work with directinput games? Ask Question 3. I want to buy a Xbox controller with PC receiver. But with a default PnP driver for Windows Vista or Windows 7. (2008, I think) alternate driver for the wireless controller called X360WC, but I have found few clear details as to what functionality it provides. Hi, i want to connect a xbox 360 controller to my windows 8 computer, but i want to ask a few questions before i buy one, since i otherwise use a ps3 controller. First of all, do i need any drivers for an xbox controller on windows 8, or are they preinstalled?

This keeps happening every time I try to connect.

This doesn't happen on Inputmapper at all (but I would much rather use this).

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, re-installing SCP driver and pretty much everything else I can think of.

I'm on Windows 7.

Install Xbox 360 Controller Driver

EDIT:
I can get it to work temporarily by re-installing SCP driver, rebooting, and then
connecting the controller via bluetooth or cable BEFORE starting DS4Windows (it has to be connected to the computer before DS4Windows is running, or it will fail again).

HOWEVER, it will end up failing again on one of the next few connection attempts, regardless.

EDIT2:
I can also get it to work temporarily by reinstalling the SCP driver using the folder created by Inputmapper. When I use InputMapper's 'Virtual Bus Driver' folder after having stopped DS4Windows, it will temporarily fix it without having to reboot, however it will still fail again on one of the next few connection attempts, and I have to run the SCP Driver from Inputmapper again to fix it again, and again, and again.
