mi-360

The Xiaomi Gamepad, just like most other controllers not made by Microsoft, often has issues with various games that only offer support for XInput devices. If you don’t want to switch to a Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller, you may have to resort to using a third-party application that allows you to emulate one of these devices.

mi-360 is an open-source utility that provides Xbox 360 controller emulation for the Xiaomi Gamepad. It enables you to use this device in any application or game that supports Xbox controllers, and it even offers vibration support.

The installation process involves following a series of simple steps. ViGem drivers are required for the application to function correctly, but they are installed automatically during the setup process.

Once launched, mi-360 is minimized to the system tray and hides the Xiaomi Gamepad from the system, showing only the emulated Xbox 360 device. Since pretty much any modern game offers support for XInput-compatible devices, you should be able to play any of them without issues.

The application runs quietly in the background and can be accessed from the system tray. No configurations are required, and you can close it by simply right-clicking the tray icon.
