Changing Game Controller Settings

A game controller is a hardware device, such as a joystick or game pad, that controls a program, typically a game. You can use Game Controllers properties in the Control Panel to add, configure, and customize game controllers on your computer. For example, you can add older gaming devices so you can play those games on your computer. You can also test, calibrate, and troubleshoot your game controllers. If you no longer use a game controller, you can remove it from your computer.
