The вЂњremoteвЂќ computer where I want the gamepad input relayed to, IвЂ™ll refer to as вЂњremote workвЂќ.

So, the вЂњlocalвЂќ computer where the gamepad is connected IвЂ™ll refer to as the вЂњlocal homeвЂќ.

You do however need Administrative local privileges for each computer, at least to perform the required setup.

For game development an Xbox 360 controller seems to work with MicrosoftвЂ™s вЂњXbox One ManagerвЂќ, and functions as an Xbox One controller.

Xbox One controllers BSOD my remote PC, I do not know of any workaround for this.

The Xbox 360 controller, with the USB wireless dongle does work.

I donвЂ™t think bluetooth-connected controllers will work, but let me know otherwise.

IвЂ™ve only tested this with controllers connected via USB cables.

#HOW TO ADD XBOX 360 CONTROLLER TO MAC WINDOWS 10#

IвЂ™m told this requires at least Windows 10 Pro on each PC for the RemoteFX system to function and redirect the USB device.

It might work with Windows 7, or Windows 8.

IвЂ™ve only tested this over two Windows 10 computers.

Things didnвЂ™t work first time for me, so here IвЂ™m going over the steps in more detail to ensure that you donвЂ™t hit the same hurdles that I did. IвЂ™m just largely reproducing that information here in a more palatable form. See the вЂњreferencesвЂќ section at the bottom of this page for where I found the steps. To be clear, I donвЂ™t claim to have come up with this myself. Being able to use a controller over a Remote Desktop session would be great! I was surprised to find out that itвЂ™s possible, but Microsoft for some reason disallow it by default. We can control the PC version of the game with a mouse, but with the console builds over Remote Desktop, youвЂ™re stuck with keyboard controls, or other facsimiles of a controller. Up until now though, I did have one gripeвЂ¦ Controllers. When IвЂ™m working at home, I generally donвЂ™t find anything lacking about my dev environment (and having no office interruptions is great!).

These work pretty great, and work over a Remote Desktop session. We make our game for вЂњthe consolesвЂќ too, so weвЂ™re able to run on those via Remote Desktop, and the platform holders also provide viewing apps to see whatвЂ™s going on, on said consoles. A PC build of our game runs fine over Remote Desktop, if you size the window down it is pretty decently playable. My home PC isnвЂ™t as beefy as my work PC, so itвЂ™s nice to have the power of my work PC when compiling code, or building game data. The setup I have for that is much like any other game company: We have a secure VPN into our work network, and weвЂ™d use Remote Desktop to control our work PC. Be it evenings, weekends, or sometimes during regular work hours. Well, itвЂ™s been over six years since I last wrote on this blog! The theme could do with updating, itвЂ™s screaming вЂњ2010вЂќ at me.
