Microsoft has reportedly promised to release a driver to enable gamers to use their Xbox One controllers on PC, says GameSpot. But since it seems that it might take a while for the Xbox-maker to release the much-awaited driver, a crafty modder has done the job for them.

Lucas Assis, has devised a way to get your PC and your Xbox One controller talking. Posting his 11-minute video tutorial on Youtube, the modder graces Microsoft gamers a step-by-step guide on how to use their Xbox One gamepads.

The modder has narrated on his website how he went about the whole trick which he said took him under a day to figure out. He also explained how adamant he was on releasing it, citing a previous modder, Chris Gallizzi, who released a driver for the same purpose but was apparently "shut down by Microsoft."

Assis defends that the tweak isn't actually a custom driver. "I'm actually using WinUSB, Windows default driver for devices without drivers, and a driver filter from LibUSBDotNet. Nothing more," he posts in his website.

He initially decided against releasing the driver, fearing legal issues as with Gallizzi. "... for now, I won't be launching it, as of pure fear of having problems with a multi-billionaire company," he remarked.

But "due to a high number of people asking for it," Lucas Assis published the how-to video on Youtube March 11. The 11-minute video tutorial has been viewed over 25,000 times as of date.

According to PC Gamer, the tweak requires gamers to download Assis' app which reportedly supports up to 16 game controllers, among other applications from HERE.

Quoting PC Gamer, the next steps would be: (1) open the device manager and plug in the Xbox One controller, (2) install the WinUSB device driver, (3) install vJoy, (4) open vJoy and use it to detect the controllers, (5) install libusb, launch its filter installer wizard and use it to install the two WinUSB devices (Xbox One controllers) and (5) open the modder's app.
