    I was wondering if using our only other controller via an adapter for the purpose of family fun get me banned/suspended. I can buy a controller for the holidays, but they just want to play sonic mania with me. I know there are third party controllers out there, but is Microsoft going to make an adapter or 360 styled controllers (Like how they did the OG Xbox controllers)? If I need a new controller that will be fine, but I'd like to save money where I can.

    :)

    If this adapter doesn’t add extra “features” like auto aim or similar I think that you’re good

    But is recommended to always use official products with your console
    And, as far as I know Microsoft doesn’t announced something like that (adapters or 360 styled controllers)

    Is it possible to use the Xbox 360 controller with PC Minecraft?

    The Xbox 360 controller, assuming you’re using wireless only charges via USB. You would need to get the now discontinued 360 wireless adapter

    Any Xbox one controller will connect via USB, Bluetooth, or the Xbox wireless adapter. You need to use USB or the Xbox adapter for headset support

    Connecting an Xbox 360 controller to an Xbox One X for split screen play

    Unfortunately, Xbox 360 controllers cannot be used on Xbox One family devices (Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One S All-Digital, Xbox One X and the upcoming Xbox Series X). There are a small number of third party controllers that have a switch on them that
    allow them to be used on one or the other.

    Adapter Xbox 360 for PC and new controller.

    Hi,

    I’m Killing Skids

    The Answer Is Yes as Long As it has Bluetooth or wireless connection
    Hi,

    That's not quite right. Apologies for quoting you.

    The Xbox 360 controller uses a proprietary wireless technology, it's not Bluetooth and the old adaptors won't work with a modern controller like the Xbox One or Series X|S controllers.

    Unlike Xbox 360 wireless controllers, Xbox One and Series controllers can also be connected via USB cable. Old Xbox One controllers use Micro USB, Series Controllers are USB C.

    To use an Xbox One/ Series controller via wireless on a PC and get basic functionality, all you need to do is connect the controller via Bluetooth. If your PC doesn't have Bluetooth then you'll need to buy a Bluetooth USB dongle, they're very cheap, less than $10. I'm from the UK and I connect my Series X controller to my PC via BT dongle I purchased from Amazon for about £5.

    For extra wireless features you'll need the Xbox One Wireless Adaptor for Windows 10. Unfortunately, the official Microsoft branded adaptors are now quite rare.
