Xbox One Controller to Be Used with Parsec on PC

So recently got introduced to Parsec which is basically a client to host remote desktop program that allows you to host your pc or connect to someone else's pc up to I think a total of 8 users maybe more mostly used for gaming but have seen people do other stuff like host creative sessions and etc honestly the sky is the limit it is just a neat handy tool.

So with multiple other users all connecting to one host for local play you essentially make couch co-op or local multiplayer online but it is on one machine which is the host so you have to think like you are physically there and there is only a limited amount of buttons/space/inputs you can use with say 3 people connecting via keyboard/mouse.

With many users naturally it is beneficial to have a controller as input because you can only have so many players using one keyboard/mouse I mean some games can use only one keyboard or mouse but most require other inputs such as controllers to facilitate multi-play.

So I am looking for recommendations for pc controllers and have decided on getting an Xbox One Controller mainly because it is easier/more convenient to connect one and use with a PC than say a PS4 which requires fiddling with Dual Shock programs and etc.

Was thinking of other platforms controllers such as Nintendo stuff but I think Xbox One is the best for now unless anyone can recommend a better option.

The usage will be mostly local multiplayer stuff so a steering wheel or other inputs won't really work (no DDR gameplay imho so no DDR mat involved unfortunately lol who remembers those PlayStation 1 days haha).

So yeah recommend me some good Xbox One controller stuff or go wild and recommend a good third party controller to be used on PC.

If you wanna add me on Parsec send me a DM and we can exchange friend id details (it is like discord with your username#123456 etc).

Any Parsec/local/couch co-op gamers here? what is your weapon of choice for inputs when you get a group game going on I am keen to know.

  • Xbox One controller is in my opinion, the best controller for PC. It feels great in the hand, and mine has lasted years.
