Use your PS3,PS4 or Nintendo switch Pro controller as an X-Box controller on PC.

Now, Ive been waiting to get my hands on an Xbox controller for the rigt price. Not that im cheap. I just like sales and discounts.  Turns out I didnt have to ...
I just followed this guide and it turns out it worked for me at least. Offcourse you have to have an PS3 controller at hand.

PS3:

Now, I got mine connected via cable, so I dont know how the bluetooth setup works, but I had no issues making it work whatsoever.
 That said I have only setted it up and tested it shortly with rift 1.22 and Elite Dangerous.

PS4:

Havent tested the PS4 guide. But guessing since the guide for the PS3 worked, the PS4 guide should work as well. 

Nintendo switch pro:

 The Nintendo Switch Pro will only work and emulate through either onboard bluetooth or by bluetooth dongle.


Just wanted to share since it was absolutely helpful to me.

Pretty neat tip! ... PS4 Controller via DS4Windows also works reportedly.

And I feel this should go to General rather than Games and Apps?

Yeah, move it as you wish master 🙂
