A couple of days ago I asked about using my xbox one controller with my steam deck. I did get it working via bluetooth but I’d prefer something I could plug into my dock. I have an old xbox 360 controller that still works but the PC receiver I had no longer works. If I get a replacement 360 receiver (or maybe a different receiver for an xbox one controller) will that work out of the box on my steam deck?
I know there’s a project for the xbox one receiver I’ve got but due to the way SteamOS is set up I’d need to reinstall those drivers whenever there’s an update which I don’t really want to bother with.
I’m using an Xbox 360 receiver with 4 controllers on Arch Linux, so the Deck should work just as fine out of the box.
Yup, I use an old 360 controller + USB receiver with my Deck and it works great.
I used it with Clone Hero on the deck, so I think so. But I’m not 100% sure clone hero doesnt have built in drivers.
Clone Hero doesn’t have any built in drivers for 360 receiver, no
What’s Clone Hero?
Guitar Hero compatible clone
It should work.
I can’t speak specifically for steam deck, but I have used the 360 wireless receiver on Mint before with no problems.
