I am thinking of purchasing an XBOX controller to add console support to my game.

Lets say I buy said controller. How do I test it? Would I just plug in the controller to my computer or what

No. But you can also buy non-Xbox controllers for a lot cheaper and test your game with that.

I just looked it up,you need to download software for your PC if it isnt a Windows 10, as W10 already has the software and updates it. Then you need to plug your controller into the USB port of a PC.

Look up the Logitech F310 gamepad. It's a cheap, a fully-functional controller.

There are programs that grab input from any controller and map them to anything you choose. I'm sure you could use that with any controller to simulate as if you had an xbox controller. In fact you could technically use a keyboard for that.

I would imagine so, it just takes the ps4 controller input and makes the computer think it's xbox controller input.

If you plug an Xbox 360 or Xbox 1 controller into your computer it should work right when you plug it in as windows installs the drivers automatically for you.

those don't have native support no.

you'd have to wire it through a program like JoyToKey or something.
