What is this Method ?
To Use USB Controller as Xbox Controller, you need to know first few basic information. This method is the best solution to play games that requires only Xbox 360 Controllers, like Dead By Daylight or Dark Souls 3. Unlike other programs like X360ce and Xpadder, this method is very effective as it will change the driver of the controller. So when you connect your USB gamepad or even your PS3 controller to PC, windows will detect it as an Xbox 360 controller. All you need is 2 little programs (MotionJoy and Better DS3) that will allow you to use USB controller as Xbox controller. I will show you step by step in this article what programs to use and how to install them.
Whenever you unplug your controller (when Better DS3 is closed) or when you restart your PC, the controller will not work as an Xbox controller. So you must plug the controller in the correct port (i will show in video below), then run the “Better DS3” program few seconds and then close it.
Download Programs
You need to download the “Motion Joy” and “Better DS3” programs in order to use USB controller as Xbox controller. Just open each link below, wait 5 seconds then click on “Skip AD” at the top right corner of your browser. Both programs have little size so they will be downloaded so fast.

This is my Tutorial YouTube video below:
Is it safe ?
Yes it is safe, i’m using this method since 2 weeks now and it is totally safe. Simply because both programs will not be running when playing your game. I scanned both programs using 2 different Antiviruses and didn’t find any malware or virus. Just make sure you don’t unplug the controller when playing the game, because it may crash your game or lead to Windows Blue Screen error. Windows may alert you when installing the new Xbox driver, just ignore it because windows alert any unsigned application.
Unlike the “DS3 Tool”, the “Better DS3” doesn’t need internet to load. Also it is very easy and editable even after saving profiles. It is certainly the best solution to use USB controller as Xbox controller. I hope this article will help you to use USB controller as Xbox controller .

Tiger Game Xbox To Usb Controller Switch
Microsoft’s original Xbox was regarded curiously by gamers and the press alike at launch. It was bigger, bulkier, and featured an eldritch monstrosity as its original controller. Thankfully, Microsoft saw fit to improve things later in the console’s lifespan with the Controller S, but nothing quite compares to the simple glory of the Xbox 360 controller. Now, there’s a way to use one on your original Xbox.
Tiger Game Xbox To Usb Controller Adapter
This project is the work of [Ryzee119], who previously adapted the controller for use with the Nintendo 64. An Arduino Pro Micro, acting as a master controller, talks to a MAX3421 USB host controller, which interfaces with an Xbox 360 wireless receiver, either genuine or third-party. The Arduino reads the data from the wireless receiver and then emulates a standard controller to the original Xbox. The system can handle up to four players on wireless 360 controllers, requiring an extra Arduino per controller to act in slave mode and emulate the signals to the original Xbox. In testing, lag appears roughly comparable with an original wired controller. This is a particularly important consideration for fast-paced action games or anything rhythm based.
It’s a well executed, fully featured project that should improve your weekly Halo 2 LAN parties immensely. No more shall Greg trip over a controller cable, spilling Doritos and Mountain Dew on your shagpile carpeting. Video after the break.
