PowerA Xbox 360 Mini Pro Ex wont work.

[Beef Sauce]

I just bought this controller, and it is saying there are no drives for it at all. Everywhere I look there are either sketchy "driver mods" or people just saying the damn thing works without an issue. Please help, all of the microsoft forums just tell me to troubleshoot(which I have) and I cant seem to find a fix.

If you have Windows Vista or later, u should not need any drivers for a controller that is Xbox360 compatible. Should be plug and play. If it is a cheap wireless one, those can be hit or miss. I've purchased many of the cheap ones and they would only work when I plugged in the cable. But in wireless mode it wouldn't work. On those I bought, it was either a faulty internal battery (as it had non changeable Li-Ion battery inside) or bad internal wiring.

Plug in the controller, then go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers, and it should be listed in there.

If not, go here, select your OS, then install the software.

Do yourself a favor, if you like the actual "360" layout of a controller, get the Microsoft ones.
