The article discusses the use of an old Xbox 360 controller to play 2000s games using an old wireless PC adapter and a compatible docking station (Steam Deck dock) like the Baseus 6-in-1, and an Xbox 360 Wireless adapter for PC. The article suggests that using an official Microsoft receiver (check eBay if you want one of these replicas), or an official version of the ROG Xbox Ally X, to play games that are late 2000s appropriate. The receiver is designed to sync to your old 360 pads just like the original console, and even the button on the system's toggle button even activates the Gamebar. Despite this, the article acknowledges that the Xbox 360 gamepad isn't expected to bring anything extra to games above and beyond the best PC controllers. The author also notes that while playing games from up to 20 years ago on a contemporary contemporary, playing games like Fallout New Vegas, Bioshock, and Dishonored is authentic.
