Materials
- An old Xbox controller
- A 1.1 male USB Cable (Not sure about the other cables I’ve only tested this 1)
- Scissors
/ Wire cutters
- Solder / Electrical tape
- And these drivers
First cut the square (NOT RECTANGLE!) end of the USB cable of exposing the cables.
Leave it aside for now and cut the Xbox controller wire off exposing its cables. Set the yellow one aside because you won’t use it.
Solder the wires color to color making sure that no wires touch each other. Use the electrical tape to prevent contacts, & to clean it up. Close it all up and plug it in. Windows will detect it but won’t be able to install it. That’s where the drivers come in, download the newest version which is an .exe it will install the correct drivers into the OS so that when it detects it you can install automatically instead of the manual (install from specific location). With those drivers every program that uses game pads will detect it, without difficulties. Have fun.
