Anyone know anything about XIM or like products? (Off-Topic)

No, not for what you think--I'm not trying to go dominate some Crucible on Xbox One by using a mouse.

I have a HOTAS flight stick for Xbox One that I bought for Elite Dangerous. I just bought the new Ace Combat game on PS4 due to it's VR support, and I'm looking for a way to use the Xbox flight stick on the PS4. I know Kermit was playing with making his Elite controller work on PS4.

Anyone know anything about this, or if it's possible? I can get the PS4 version of that flight stick for less money than I can buy the newest XIM controller, but I really don't need two of the damn things taking up space (and I wouldn't mind using my spare Xbox One controller with the PS4 if it works well).

This should work.

The only thing I don't like about using it with the Elite is that I have to repair it with the Xbox when I switch back.

I'll look into this.

As long as the game is looking for a regular controller, it should work.


If the game is looking for a specific hardware ID, it won't. Like, Rock Band instruments can't be adapted with XIM because Rock Band will just see them as a regular controller and therefore as a vocalist because the XIM presents itself as a standard controller.


I believe most flight sticks represent themselves as a standard controller.
