When connecting to a PC, the X-Arcade™ works by acting as A KEYBOARD. So, do not get confused with references to it being called “The Ultimate Arcade Controller”, because inside it’s setup like a keyboard and your computer thinks it’s a keyboard. It is, however, a normal game controller when you use an X-Arcade™ console adapter.

This means there are NO DRIVERS and NO SOFTWARE to install. The X-Arcade™ plugs in and you begin playing. There is absolutely no setup or installation of software required. The X-Arcade™ was made to be easy enough for virtually anyone to operate.
