There's no need to go out and buy a separate controller for gaming on your computer. Here's how you can use the controller that comes with your Xbox 360, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4.

On a Windows 10 PC, you can plug in Xbox 360, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X|S controllers to play certain games.

Here's how to download Microsoft's recently released Windows drivers for its Xbox One controller. Now the device can pull double duty as game input for both the console and your PC.

If your Windows PC isn't detecting it, press the Xbox button on your controller to switch it back on. Alternatively, the time-honoured unplugging and plugging it back in fix should also work.
