The NVIDIA SHIELD controller is compatible with Windows 7 and should work out of the box.

However, there is a bug where the SHIELD controller is detected as both an XInput device and a DirectInput device. In the peripherals list, it will appear twice:

A button map exists for the Xbox 360 controller (XInput), but not the NVIDIA Shield controller (DirectInput). As a result, the controller is usable in Kodi, but will give an error message on first use that you can safely ignore:
