Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows
The Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows, which is sold by Microsoft with a separate receiver, works with XBMC on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and with Standard Microsoft Drivers. For Linux there are Userspace drivers available here: Homepage and Binaries or Git-Source.
In order to use it properly, you should setup a Keymap.xml accordingly. This will work under Windows and Linux.
For Windows however there is the possibility to use an Eventclient. This Client will send the button-presses to your XBMC. There are disadvantages to this method however:
- You have to run the EventClient every time you want to use your XBMC
- It is a console-application with a window, that can disturb your experience
- The button-presses will be sent to XBMC even though it might not be in the focus (So - if you play a game for instance with your controller, the button-presses will still be sent to XBMC as well)
The EventClient can be compiled via the XBMC-Source (EventClient on Github) or the binary Xbox360EventClient.exe is available from this Forum-Post Mirror (MD5: 4B69791B1DC2DA4400B5912CFF9EFED0).
