    Xbox controllers work with windows with pretty much zero configuration. Either use USB or the appropriate receiver dongle. This probably contributes a lot to it’s popularity.

    Also the older and newer style controllers likely all just report as Xbox controllers and the wired 360 controllers are dirt cheap

      They work on some Linux distros with zero configuration as well. Mint being one of those.

      (This is through bluetooth that I’m speaking of.)
