The PS4 and Xbox One controllers us Micro-USB cables.

If your PC is compatible, I believe it is possible to use an Xbox One/Series X/S controller wirelessly without an adapter. The 8BitDo Wireless Adapter is a cheaper alternative to official adapters, but might have issues with individual controllers. Official ones are very expensive, so I usually just use a cable to connect it. However, if you want to use any of these controllers wirelessly, you will probably need an adapter. As I said earlier, Xbox One/Series X/S controllers work on the PC fine.Even I don't trust myself to get it working. The DualShock 3 (PS3) needs a lot of messing around to work on Windows 10, so if you're new to computers I wouldn't touch it.

I doubt the Nintendo Switch Pro controller has native support, but is only a bit harder to set up than a DualShock 4.If you want greater customisability, you'll need to download DS4Windows. Steam has a compatibility mode, but it only works for Steam games. The PS4 controller (DualShock 4) has no native support on Windows 10, but is incredibly simple to set up if you want to.'Generic gamepads' like your unofficial one (most likely) will work, but sometimes there might be issues with individual controllers.It's also worth pointing out that the menus in Train Simulator are pretty dreadful for controllers, so you'll want to use a mouse to navigate them. This makes them be interpreted as X-Input controllers, but all button icons will be for the Xbox 360 or One, unless your game specifically has a modified UI for different controllers. Many controllers do work, however, without any extra programs, as Steam has a compatibility mode for most of them. Every controller that you use on the PC, with some exceptions, are considered by Windows to be Xbox 360 controllers - even Xbox One/SeriesX/S controllers.

Now, onto controllers: Windows 10 natively supports Xbox 360 wired controllers. They are also quite cheap, which is good. TS Classics DLC (that being a lot of older DLC available at low prices because of their simplicity) will work fine, and assuming you don't have TS yet are a good place to learn the game*. For example, the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 90's simple mode gets rid of the ability to have day and night headlight configurations, which is annoying, and I think it deactivates some other simple features, as well as the major ones you might not want to deal with when using a controller. Some advanced content may have simple modes, but I always felt that what was removed made the trains less fun to play, as they usually took away from quite simple features. The trains included by default should be mostly fine, but anything that's more advanced won't work properly. I'd say that a controller is fine if you don't plan on playing with any 'advanced' content. It took a few years for me to learn the keyboard controls. For a long time this is what I used as my keyboard at the time had a French AZERTY layout which Train Simulator wasn't set up for. When I started playing Train Simulator seven years ago (wow, that is a lot of time I've wasted that I can't get back) I used a combination of a wired Xbox 360 controller I still have - it's a good controller by the way - and the F4 HUD (that's the big one with the throttle and brake controls). While a keyboard and mouse is a lot better than a controller for playing TS (Train Sim World, as I said earlier, is set up far better for controllers), the keyboard controls can be a bit confusing at first. Mr2mark Since no-one's given you an actual answer yet.īefore I start, do you actually have Train Simulator yet or are you planning to get it once you've got your new PC?
