Unlike previous versions that relied on xinput1_3.dll replacement only, the Alpha Exclusive allegedly includes a kernel-level driver hook. This allows it to support older DirectInput devices (like legacy Logitech Rumblepads or PlayStation 2 adapters) that often fail to map correctly in Windows 10/11.

Cause: The exclusive driver wants a constant USB connection. Fix: This version notoriously struggles with Bluetooth. Use a USB cable, or revert to shared mode for wireless play (losing exclusivity benefits).


The 41000 alpha exclusive sits right in the chaotic, exciting middle of this timeline.


x360ce 4.10.0 alpha focuses on improving device detection, mapping flexibility, and laying groundwork for full 64-bit support and plugin extensibility. It’s a tester-oriented release: valuable for spotting regressions and validating new detection and mapping behaviors, but not yet ready for general daily use.
