TIP

Motion controls are not available for Xbox controllers, making some features in games, such as shrine puzzles in Breath of the Wild, hard to use.

  1. Connect your Xbox controller to Windows
  2. Open the Cemu application
  3. On the top bar, go to Settings -> Input settings
  4. Change Emulate controller to Wii U Gamepad
  5. Change Controller API to XInput
  6. Change Controller to Controller X
    • If you don't see a controller, switch Controller API to DirectInput
  7. Proceed to map all your controller button inputs
  8. At the top, enter in a controller profile name, e.g. Xbox Controller
  9. Click Save
