USB/PC Joysticks with the Xbox X and MFS2020? The answer is...

If you only want to use the joystick, then no.

Only officially licensed Xbox controllers will work on the console (with the exception of standard HID USB keyboards for text entry).

However, the official Xbox Adaptive controller that is aimed at gamers with disabilities also has two USB ports, and supposedly some PC joysticks work on that.

This is however a "your mileage may vary" thing, as the Joystick probably will only be able to use it's X and Y axis, and not much else.

If you want a fully fledged Joystick that you can also use on the PC, you might want to look at the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS One: http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_US/products/tflight-hotas-one

Im on pc with the xbox app and MFS2020, I can not get online as of Jan.14, 2023, Whats up with that ? I managed to get back online with my xbox S MFS2020 no problem.

Well actually I found four different pre-existing PC 15 joysticks with one circular restrictor analog stick that has X and Y and a thumb button and an index finger button.

I heard that anything that is considered standard PC USB will work in an Xbox adaptive controller.

If that's the case I could plug one of these $2 specials from the thrift shop assuming they work, (which I assume they do because I tested them on an Atari 5200 with a bohoki adapter, an adapter specifically designed by Atari Age user Bohoki to take a typical PC 15 joystick and make it work on an Atari 5200 so the joystick mechanics work and pins work now the only question is will the PC 15 to USB adapter work.

The Xbox technician says assuming the converter goes from a standard pc15 to a standard USB hid standard then it should work with the Xbox adaptive controller.

And then from there it'll work with other machines with Brook Wingman devices.

Hello, thank you for your repeat?

My "Logitech Extreme 3D" joystick has been running flawlessly so far, even with other games connected to a PC.

My question was, can or must I connect my joystick directly to the XBox Series s console or the Standard XBox Controller instead of to a PC, since there are 2 USB inputs on the console? and there is 1 USB-C input on the controller?

The game (here: Flight Simulator 2022) does not show the joystick in the settings when I use one of the inputs on the console. I would like to play the game on the PC, so I don't think I need this "Adaptive Controller".

Hello, thank you for your repeat?

It doesn't make sense for me to get the Adaptive Controller to use my Logitech Extreme 3D joystick. Why not just use it on the XBox Series S console via one of the USB inputs??

Let me try another plan……….

Is it possible to connect the „XBox Series s“ console with a windows 10 PC using USB?

In this case I could use my Joystick as usual and had the voice from the PC Speaker!
