And I am in HEAVEN!
Backstory. So, after suddenly realizing "Oh hey, I think Windows has native support for the Xbox One controller" -- took me long enough, right? -- (One S, to be exact, but I don't think it matters among the current gen. flavors), and hooking it up with a micro-USB cable.. I thought, "Hmm, Dxx-Rebirth talked about joystick support.. I wonder if..." And oh heck yes! I wrote down all the mappings of the Xbox One controller buttons/axes to their corresponding joystick axes/buttons. Wanna see??
So yeah. If you have a controller, try it out. It's pretty sweet. Also welcome any opinions on my mapping scheme. =) It took a bit of experimentation, but I think I'm fairly comfortable with it. The most interesting part to me was that the actual triggers are considered an "axis". Which halfway makes sense if you've tried a vehicular game like Rocket League, where indeed, right trigger is forward and left trigger is reverse; but still, seems odd.

Aren't they both just native USB X-input devices?

I believe so, yes.

Re: Just discovered Xbox One controller support...
there is only native support for the DS4 in steam and whatever software Sony has for playing PS4 games remotely.
Sure that covers most things. but its not a plug and play x-input device.
