In this tutorial, we will see how to program Arduino to emulate an Xbox controller using the ArduinoXInput library. The advice is to use a Leonardo or a 5V Pro Micro however we will see a list of supported microcontrollers (Arduino Uno, Nano and Mega are not on this list as these three boards do not have native USB support and will not work).

The software consists of two related parts: the board package which contains the USB descriptors for the XInput controller and the library with which it is easy to interact.
