What controllers can I use on windows 10 for games

[Gamer0101]

Hi
I have a PS3 controller wireless and genuine but I'm not sure if the wire is the genuine one and I was wondering if there is a way of connecting it to my windows 10 PC so that I can play games like h1z1 BO3 and othe fps?

If not could you suggest to me what is the cheapest way to connect a controller to a PC to play fps games and what drivers I need?
Thanks

Update: I heard it's possible to use a Xbox 360 wired controller to a PC. is this true? And what would I need hardware wise and driver wise
Thanks

For xbox it's easy. You will need only drivers.

You can use a ps3 controller but you will need a third party driver that I have heard mixed things about.

You can use an xbox 360 or xbox one controller if you want, for an xbox one controller just plug it in with a micro usb cable it will download the drivers automatically and work. For a 360 controller if its wired just plug it in it will work, for wireless you will need a wireless adapter for pc I would recommend a microsoft branded one if you go that route.

You dont even need to download and install the drivers anymore for xbox controllers, its plug and play. You plug the controller in the pc detects it and the drivers are installed automatically.

Xbox One controller with wireless adapter is a great combo

I've heard that the Xbox 360 wired controller is not plug and play for windows 10?

Also will this work on a fake or does it have to be genuine

Buy a genuine controller, I use a Xbox controller with wireless adapter and it's just amazing.

If you want to use the PS3 controller it is possible with a driver but you need to disable Windows 10 from enforcing the driver signatures. Alternatively I have heard pretty good things about the Mayflash Wireless PS3 Controller To PC USB Adapter. It sets up the PS3 controller as a x-input or direct input device but still supports all of the functions.

Don't cheap out with a fake one, get a good controller. The quality of controller can really improve or hinder your gaming experience, it's how you physically interact with the games. Get a genuine controller and the One controller is better

Also will a wireless controller work if I connect it to the PC so it has a wired connection or will I need drivers?
