Using Xpadder Configure An Xbox 360 Controller

Xbox 360 brought us a lot of amazing games. It would be a shame to miss out on this experience even if you don’t have a console.Partly because it’s a massive part of gaming culture, but also because you don’t necessarily need an Xbox itself to access the games. Emulation has your back.

Xpadder is a perfect example of a program that works better than it looks. Because of its somewhat messy interface,e the powerful functionality of the tool often gets overlooked. The software connects your computer keyboard and mouse to the emulated gaming. It feels correct as if you are playing the console.

Xpadder Windows 10  is a program of multiple uses, but its primary purpose is to control mapping. You can connect the console, and when your PC recognizes it, the app will redirect you to configuration settings.

Here, you can configure control panels for specific games or set up control templates that you will use in multiple games. To illustrate the process, we decide to analyze Minecraft – one of the most popular games for the Xbox 360. This game has a medium level of control customization difficulty. In for can set up Minecraft correctly, you‘ll be capable of dealing with pretty much any other game.

The program is available for Windows 10, 7,8, XP, and Vista. It’s compatible with 32 and 64 bit systems, too. You can connect 16 different controllers simultaneously and keep the set controls in a template.

This way, you wouldn’t have to start the settings from scratch – instead, you can use other console’s configurations. The tool is compatible not only with Xbox but also with old consoles, starting from the very first PlayStation console.

After you are done with editing the general controller settings, save the settings now that you’ve configured the controller entirely, click the “Ok” button. Now you need to attach keys from your keyboards to specific console buttons.

You can set general settings, equal to all emulated games, or customize the settings for each new title. We prefer the latter – the process is not all that time-consuming.

but it makes the difference between a long and mediocre experience.Firstly, you need to open your Minecraft controls to see what keys you were using. Then, you add the corresponding keys to Minecraft’s controls settings menu  – you’ll end up with something like this.After the controls are fully added, you are done.

Congratulations, now you can run Xbox Minecraft on your PC. Xpadder runs in the background mode and consumes tiny amounts of CPU. The speed, therefore, doesn’t take a toll.

Figuring out optimal emulated controls is always work in progress. Sometimes, you have to get far ahead in the game before you encounter some task that you can’t perform due to uncomfortable controls.

Sometimes, you’ll find that you did not take the peculiarities of your keyboard into account. For instance, if you have a malfunctioning key, you might’ve just forgotten about that during the setting process. So, be ready to come back to settings and edit controls as you go.

The bottom lineXpadder

is much more than just Xbox emulation. You can use it to get access to any game, and to adapt old consoles, too. Its messy interface is a bit distracting, but once you’ve performed several customizations, you won’t pay attention anymore. Xpadder prioritizes functionality over the interface, and as far as we can tell, it’s a success
