Xinput Driver For Microsoft Common Controller

I bought a crappy cheap game controller to use for a few weeks and ran into the total compatibility nightmare which is Windows game controllers.

Long story short, there’s two completely separate APIs. DirectInput and XInput. Old controllers (like my cheap PS3 knockoff) used DirectInput. Starting ~2005 Microsoft introduced XInput as a new API with better support for advanced controllers. It had drawbacks and some game controllers were slow to adopt it. Around 2011 Microsoft deprecated DirectInput, so everyone’s supposed to use XInput now. Despite that you can still buy new controllers that do DirectInput. Some controllers have a hardware switch to toggle modes.

What’s dumb is not all games still support DirectInput. (Looking at you, Dead Souls). Worse, Microsoft’s drivers don’t support some compatibility shims so a DirectInput device can be used via the XInput API. So you have to do something third party if you have an old DirectInput controller and want it to work with XInput. There’s three options I found:

x360ce is a thing that emulates an X360 controller and looks like an XInput driver but takes its input from DirectInput devices. I’m not sure it really is a driver, the hack includes its own XInput.dll you have to drop in to some games’ folders to fake it out. I didn’t try this, but it’s the usual old school gamer recommendation for solving this problem. It seems very flexible and hacker friendly. There’s newer binary builds on the GitHub page.

ScpToolkit is similar to x360ce, but emulates a Playstation controller. I did actually install this and found it didn’t work and uninstalling was spooky. I ended up using Windows’ rollback to remove it.

Steam Big Picture mode also includes an XInput emulator that seems to work well. I can’t find official docs for it and its confusing, but the Internet is full of badly written guides and videos on how to use it. This is what I ended up using. Setup is a bit fiddly; for awhile I was telling it to be “Generic” and it was sort of working but what I really wanted was “Playstation”. I’m still not clear if that means it’s emulating a Playstation controller, or if it is using this cheap controller I bought thinking it is a Playstation controller. Or both. Whatever, it seems to work.

After the Windows 10 Anniversary update Xbox One Controllers may start showing up as two XInput devices in Steam, and button presses occur twice.

To fix this you need to patch in the xinputhid.sys file from an earlier Windows 7 driver.

Note: This fix only works for connecting the controller via USB cable or USB wireless adapter, the new Bluetooth controller when paired still doesn't work.

Download the Windows 7 Driver

Head to the Microsoft Catalog in Internet Explorer (it won't work in any other browser) and download Microsoft - Generic Controller - Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows version 6.3.9600.16384.

Make sure you download the right version for your machine (X86 or AMD64). You can check by clicking the package name to view the details.

Add the driver to you basket and checkout. Once you have the file, extract the zip inside the directory. You should see xinputhid.sys and xinputhid.inf in there.

Patching Existing Driver

Bring up the Device Manager (Right click on Start), expand Human Interface Device and find your Xbox Controller (e.g. Xbox Wireless Controller).

Click on the device and go to the Driver tab and click Update Driver.

Choose Browse my computer for driver software.

Choose let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

Choose on HID-compliant device from the list and then click Have Disk.

Browse to where you download the drivers earlier and choose xinputhid.inf then hit Ok.

Your controller should work now. Try connecting it via USB, and then reconnecting it by USB wireless adapter.
