I would like to play some steam games I bought with 3 other people. These are games much more suited to a controller however, and I only own two PS4 controllers.

My question is, If I were to buy enough wired Xbox 360 controllers for everyone to use, would they all be able to be plugged in and recognized by a single computer? I have read in other questions that wireless controllers can support up to 4, but I wanted to be sure that the wired ones can do the same before I made the purchase.

As a side note, does anyone have any experience using both ps4 and wired 360 controllers in the same game? If I were using software like DS4Windows would they all just be recognized as 360 controllers or are they incompatible in the same game/computer. Thanks.

    I don't know about wired 360 controllers, but I've successfully had two Xbox 360 wireless controllers, one PS3 controller using USB, and one PS4 controller using USB connected simultaneously for a 4-player couch co-op game on Steam. Every game is different though potentially, depends how the game is coded, in theory it should work though.

  • 4 wireless is easy as pie indeed with a wireless receiver. I would imagine 4 wired would work as well, assuming you have enough USB ports for everyone.

Yes you can connect them. As long as the game supports four joystick devices you should be able to play with all four controllers. You can also connect a mix of wired and wireless. The wireless receiver simply acts like a USB hub for the controllers.

As for your DS4Windows question, that would be a seperate issue.
