Will this controller work for windows 8?

It will, but I had to find drivers through the pre-installed folders of Windows 8. It was kind of a hassle, but it does work fine!

I don't have windows 8, (windows XP works well). Sorry I can't answer your question.

I use that Adapter mainly for PS2 controllers in Windows 7. It might help you, but I would first try Motion in Joy and/or SCP DS3

When I bought mine, it was a gift to someone else - and think it was so complicated that he never even got it working in XP. Win 8.1? Pretty new OS - may be worth checking a Belkin Nostromo SppedPad N52 User's Forum - I assume there's one out there somewhere. Try an XP-rated game in Win 8.1 - if it runs, the controller might, too.

Logitech's FAQ implies that it does. Additionally their software is available for Windows 8, so I'm going to conclude that it will work with Windows 8

I don't know if the controller is Windows only based, but what I read from others on different sites, they have no problem with Mac OS working with the controller. It should work just fine, as long as it is properly configured with an emulator program, and my windows PC picked the controller's settings automatically. I hope this might help.

According to Microsoft this joystick is fully compatible with Windows 8 64-bit, though some folks have had issues where their systems wouldn't recognize the device as a game controller. Refer to the troubleshooting steps in this article if you have any issues, it should work just fine: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-hardware/win-8-wont-detect-sidewinder-precision-2-joystick/6bf4625f-a302-45b1-9ecf-abb647946677?auth=1

Short answer: Yes. Long Answer: I just tested my Game Stop Brand Xbox 360 controller with usb converter on my Windows 7 64-bit PC, and it worked perfectly. I personally think the game is significantly easier to play with a keyboard and mouse, but yes, you are perfectly capable of playing with the controller. (Other operating systems may or may not work [I have no experience with Windows 8 nor previous versions]). If you have a different operating system, I recommend looking it up on google, or asking another person before you buy the game. P.S. If you need help setting up your controller, just let me know, or there may be tutorials online.

I have an Xbox 360 wired controller that works very well with my Windows 1 laptop. Make sure that when you load the game that you go to options and configure the customizable controls as using the Xbox Controller.

I have it working on Windows 7. It works great, but I have never tried it on Windows 8

Yes, but you need to find another driver to completely support this controller on PC.

This deviceoes not require a 'controller' - its support is builtin to Windows 7 and up; and probably also in XP. My machine recognized it w/o anything else.

It works on Windows 7 and 8.1, so if the game you are playing on Steam has support for a windows based controler then yes it will, but compatability in that case will depend on the specific game. If the controler is detected in windows (it is) then check on Steam on the right side of the games store page to see if it lists "Full controller support".

This Controller works on windows Vista, and windows 8, and is exextremely finicky with windows 7. It's really only made for xb360 though.

Yes. Go to http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411&osid=14&bit=64 for the controller, click downloads in blue, and underneath the controller image you will be able to choose windows 8 (32 or 64 bit) for the drivers. I'm sure they are on the cd provided too. If not, you can just get them off the site.

Yes it is. It really depends more on your computer and emulator than the controller. I use Linux instead of Windows or Macintosh and it works great on that. As far as Windows or Macintosh, I can't really say...

It works perfectly with windows 8. Not all games will recognize the slider - I am not currently using it in any that I play so I cannot vouch if it does or not.

This controller (via USB for now) can be used with Windows 7 and Windows 8. Divers available here: http://majornelson.com/2014/06/05/pc-drivers-for-the-xbox-one-controller-available-now/
