Controller Clarification - Playing old games

[Prenihility]

Ok, so i’ve asked a while ago about the Steam Controller and Xbox One controller and in the end, I think I was dead set on the Xbox One controller. Honestly, i’d love to simply use something that works from the get-go and is optimized for that purpose. However, i’m no stranger to DIY. After all, i’m using a PC. But I also want to be able to play OLD games - and do marathons in some cases of old games using a controller.

If I am to play something like the first 3 Splinter Cell games; how can I get those games working with a controller?

Also, some clarification for the Xbox One controller. If I get the WIRED Xbox One controller, it’s both wired AND wireless, correct? And it takes batteries and I can use rechargeable AAs, too?

Steam has great controller support. You can add any game as a non-steam game and configure your controller inputs. Give that a go.

Refer back to the other thread where we spent tons of time explaining it to you, lol.

I really want the Steam Controller now

Steam support responded. Steam Hardware is not shipped to Canada, we rely on our partners to distribute our products to your region. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by this issue, but Steam Support cannot assist with inventory shortages or prices of other vendors. Please contact your retailer for any updates. Thanks, Dillinger Soooo… basically i’m fucked? I might have to check in person in places like Walmart. The Canadian version of EVERYTHING is fucking AIDS! Use the search function on walmart.ca to search for something? Down to every correct letter? It won’t yield any search results. Fucking atrocious. @Phantom Alright. I’m confused about the Xbox One controllers. There are “PC” versions, one is wired, one is wireless? And then I hear it’s BOTH wired and wireless. Oh yeah, and guys. Feel free to jump in on my Witcher 3 thread. Not sure why everyone goes Hellen Keller sometimes. Sort of thread related, too.
