green_abobo: mine works good, wired usb, "power a" brand, $20 @ walmart jobber.
i do have "force feedback driver for xinput" installed, along /w regular xbone controller drivers, whether ior not that makes any difference.
it is possible though.
thanks for the suggestion. it was kind of a pain, i am using an 8bitDo Pro 2 for XBOX which is an official licensed XBOX One controller. i've been using it for months now and going into "usb game controllers" it shows up as an xbox one controller and haven't had any problems, till today.
so i took your advice and tried to download xbox software, it wasn't recognized, then i downloaded the 8BitDo software and there was an update. after that it was recognized by xbox software but here's the kicker, at first it still wasn't working in game, well until i noticed in the controller options i had to change it from keyboard to controller. :smh: don't tell me that was there all along and i somehow missed it? well i feel like a dumbas_ but hey, it's working and all is well. hope this helps someone in the future. ✌️
