The controller should be plug-and-play on Windows (tested with Windows 7. Unsure about Vista and XP).
 
For Linux there are  Userspace drivers available here:

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 ([https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/master/tools/EventClients/Clients/Xbox360%20Controller EventClient on Github]) or the binary '''Xbox360EventClient.exe''' is available from this [http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=426397&postcount=11 Forum-Post] [http://ul.to/4p5n3t Mirror] [http://www.multiupload.ch/RFY6OD4NK2 2nd Mirror] (MD5: 4B69791B1DC2DA4400B5912CFF9EFED0).
