OG Xbox wireless controller options


Recommended Posts

I love my wireless controllers. MiSTer, PC, modern consoles, doesn't matter. I prefer the convenience of wireless over the few milliseconds of lag I won't feel because I'm playing on an HDTV with inherent lag and I'm 42 years old. 

 

Anywho, I was wondering if there were any modern (recent) wireless options for the original black monolith. I'm aware of the Logitech wireless controller that was available back in the day, but those are pretty pricey for what they are.

 

I've looked at Brook Accessory and some of the cheaper brands and it seems nobody does this. I have an Xbox to PS2 adapter, so I guess the Brook PS2 to PS4 adapter might do the trick, but I'm afraid that might be too many conversions to work cleanly. Anybody try this, or have a better suggestion?

 

Thanks!

There are good options now for using Xbox 360 accessories, although they appear to be out of stock at the moment.

While primarily for using wireless Xbox 360 accessories on the original Xbox, it's my understanding it also enables wired 360 controller support such as for USB arcade sticks. And via some sort of 8BitDo USB receiver, people even utilize their wireless XB1 controller through this adapter.

What he said.  These are great.  I've used them for quite some time.  Be careful with the micro-USB connectors as they are fragile.  You can also install these internally so they are invisible.  This will also allow emulation of the Steel Battalion controllers with standard Xbox 360 wireless controllers

Alrighty now THIS is what I'm talking about. Too bad they're out of stock, but I can live with that. I've signed up for an alert. A 360 controller is a good substitute, and an Xbone controller would be a good one too. I might need one of those Brook Xbox One to Xbox 360 adapters for that, but no biggie.
