Logitech F710 driver for Windows 11

LogitechF710.txt

This game pad has been around quite a while, so I thought I would try to use it on the latest version of Windows 11, here is what I found (08/01/2023).

Windows 11 doesn't recognise this device when you plug it in (no Plug'n'Play).
It will work quite well eventually, but I found I needed to do the following.

Before you start, make sure the F710 is in 'X' mode NOT 'D' mode (little switch on the front)

1. Download the Logitech F710 Connect Utility:
https://download01.logi.com/web/ftp/pub/techsupport/joystick/F710ConnectUtility_2.15.264.exe
2. Use this utility to get the F710 installed

3. Check in Device Manager if the F710 is properly installed, most probably it isn't!
4. Click on 'Unknown Device or improperly installed gamepad' or however it is shown in Device Manager
5. Right click and 'Update Driver Software'
6. Click 'Browse my computer for driver software'
7. Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
8. Choose 'Xbox 360 Peripherals' near the bottom of the list and click next
9. From this list choose 'Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows' and click next
10. A warning will appear about this driver being incorrect for this device, just ignore and continue to click 'Yes' at the bottom

The F710 should now be installed and listed in Device Manager as an 'Xbox Peripheral > Xbox Controller'.

At this point the F710 is still not operational for most games as the buttons etc have no configuration or assignment

To assign and configure the controls download AntimicroX for Windows:
https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/releases/download/3.3.2/antimicrox-3.3.2-Windows-AMD64.exe

Use this utility to assign and configure your F710 and save the profiles you create for each game you want to play.
Note that this utility needs to be running while you are playing so that the required F710 configured profile is available.

Try the F710 in your game of choice to ensure it is working OK with the profile you created.

Reboot the PC and check Device Manager, expand the 'Xbox Peripherals' list, the 'Logitech F710' should now show its correct name here instead of 'Xbox Controller'.

Note: don't bother trying to use the 'Xbox Accessories App' to configure the F710, it won't recognise it.

Why use this older Logitech controller?
1. They are really great quality.
2. You can buy them on sale for less than $50
3. Can be used on many devices, not just PC's

Thank you! I finally got it working! I normally use a Logitech F310 wired, but I want to sit a little further from the computer and this has got it working. I like the playstation style controllers and since I am use to the F310 this one works great now since it is only a little thicker because of the batteries. like riding an old bike.

The AntiMicroX or windows dont detect the buttoms. So i cant configure the control. The windows 11 dont detect the f710. Can you help me?

On one of my Windows 11 PCs it installed as the XBOX 360 Controller for Windows, not the receiver. So that may work better.

Thanks! It worked, but Device manager still shows XBOX 360 peripherals. It works Great!
