|Description= The [http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/gaming/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=090 Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows], which is sold by Microsoft with a separate receiver, works with XBMC on Windows XP, Vista, and 7 using standard Microsoft Drivers. The controller, along with the wired edition controller, should be plug-and-play on Windows (tested with Windows 7. Awaiting confirmation on Vista and XP). | |Description= The [http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/gaming/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=090 Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows], which is sold by Microsoft with a separate receiver, works with XBMC on Windows XP, Vista, and 7 using standard Microsoft Drivers. The controller, along with the wired edition controller, should be plug-and-play on Windows (tested with Windows 7. Awaiting confirmation on Vista and XP). Many other unofficial controller models have been reported as compatible with XBMC, but if you run into one that does not work, please use the instructions in the forum thread linked below to report the device name and make it work. | ||
For Linux, there are two options: the built-in Xpad kernel drivers bundled with most Linux distributions or the Xboxdrv userspace drivers package, available here: [http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/ Homepage and Binaries] or [https://github.com/Grumbel/xboxdrv/ Git-Source] (or use your package manager). Xpad should work out of the box with no configuration. However, Xboxdrv doesn't map the same way or use the same device name, so if you want to use it with XBMC, use the --mimic-xpad argument. This will cause it to use the same mappings and device names as Xpad, the only currently supported method. | For Linux, there are two options: the built-in Xpad kernel drivers bundled with most Linux distributions or the Xboxdrv userspace drivers package, available here: [http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/ Homepage and Binaries] or [https://github.com/Grumbel/xboxdrv/ Git-Source] (or use your package manager).
