Which joysticks are suitable for Xbox 360

XBOX 360 is a modern gaming console that is in great demand. Unfortunately, it does not allow for the use of most types of modern joysticks. Let's find out which gamepads can be connected.

Joysticks for Xbox 360: which ones are suitable

A joystick designed for the Xbox console is suitable for such a console. It was created specifically for this console, so there should be no problems with connection.

But you won’t be able to connect an Xbox One joystick or a computer. The console does not support them. At the same time, the Xbox joystick works without problems on a computer and other consoles.

Attention! For such a console, both joysticks (which are shaped like a lever) and gamepads (which look a little like a butterfly) are suitable. But there are some criteria for choosing devices.

How to choose a joystick for Xbox 360

There are several parameters on which the choice of joystick will depend:

1. What devices does it support? For example, there are universal gamepads that are suitable for computers, Xbox 360, PS3, Android.
2. Wired or wireless. The latter requires a receiver and bluetooth.
3. Availability of connection via USB (wired only).
4. Number of buttons (usually from 8 to 20).
5. How easy it is to use.
6. What games is it suitable for (this question concerns the joystick, not the gamepad).
7. Price.
8. Button quality. There is a problem when when you press several keys at the same time, the required action is not performed.
9. Appearance.
10. It happens that sticks wear out quickly and need to be replaced. This means the device is of poor quality. But another problem is whether it will be possible to find the necessary replacement sticks on this particular device.
11. The presence of different sounds or smells means that the device is of poor quality.
12. Strength of the material. Usually the base of the gamepad is plastic. And if you fall from the table, there is a high risk that it will break. Be careful.
13. If there is external damage, then you should not buy it.

When choosing a device, you should pay attention to the price. A quality device will not be cheap. Also do not forget to ask for a quality certificate. And it is better to choose well-known brands.
