Description

This template should be used for pages regarding a controller.

Arguments
  • title
Optional. Add if the title of the controller varies in some way from the page name.
  • cover
Include an image of the controller hosted on the PCGamingWiki.
  • xinput
True, false, or hackable.
  • connection method
The supported connection method on PC, e.g. USB-Micro, USB-C, USB-Mini, Bluetooth, custom physical adapters, PS/2, DE-9, and/or other methods. Recommended values and applicable cases:
  • USB-A: Controller end of the wire: Permanently attached. PC end: USB-A port, 2.0 unless otherwise stated.
  • USB-B: Controller end: USB-B, 2.0 unless otherwise stated. PC end: Any USB size or Thunderbolt 3.
  • USB-C: Controller end: USB-C, 2.0 unless otherwise stated. PC end: Any USB size or Thunderbolt 3.
  • USB-Micro: Controller end: Micro-USB, 2.0 unless otherwise stated. PC end: Any USB size or Thunderbolt 3.
  • USB-Mini: Controller end: USB Mini-B. PC end: Any USB size or Thunderbolt 3.
  • Bluetooth: When the controller is connected to the PC over Bluetooth. This means the PC must have Bluetooth functionality in some way to use such a connection.
  • Wired adapter: The controller uses a custom port on the machine end (e.g. DualShock 1/2 port, GameCube/N64 port) that no PCs can natively handle, requiring the use of dedicated adapters on PC.
  • Wireless dongle: Either the controller requires a 2.4GHz RF USB dongle (The dongle is USB-A 2.0 unless otherwise stated) for the PC, or it's controller-specific dongles (e.g. Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter).
  • Wi-Fi: The controller itself is able to connect to a home's Wi-Fi network, and can to varying extents be detected by a PC over Wi-Fi (if the PC has Wi-Fi support) or potentially Ethernet.
  • DE-9: 9-pin port used on many 80's and early 90's systems, and which strongly resemble (but are not known to be compatible with) PC standard serial ports.
  • Game Port: 13-pin serial port designed by Microsoft specifically for some 1990's game controllers.
  • Lightning: iOS apps that can be used to control PC games with a typical Lightning-to-USB cable.
  • Infrared adapter: Controllers with built-in infrared functionality to communicate with other devices. However, there are no known cases as of May 2023 of anyone getting such devices to communicate with a PC as a game controller.
  • predecessor
Optional. Link to the preceding controller if the controller belongs to a series or line of hardware. E.g. the DualShock series of controllers.
  • successor
Optional. Link to the succeeding controller if the controller belongs to a series or line of hardware. E.g. the DualShock series of controllers.
  • wikipedia
The title of the Wikipedia article on this specific controller or series of controllers.
