Can you connect an xbox controller to a Playstation and vice versa?

I wanted to ask if you can connect an xbox controller to a Playstation (with a cable) and if you can connect a Playstation controller to an xbox (also with a cable) would be really good to know

Both console controllers are available from 3 providers that have the same layout as the competition

The original controllers don't work

2 worlds collide.

That's true.

But "real" PC gamers, whatever that is supposed to be, don't laugh at the Xbox. Especially since they basically play on the same platform, Windows. Nobody is as tight as Xbox and Windows. You have to laugh about Sony and their bad consoles.

In principle, Playstation controllers would work on Xbox controllers if they supported the better wireless connection (Xbox 2.4Ghz network).

Xbox controllers do not work on Playstation consoles because Sony blocks the controllers. 😄 It's the same as with Windows, because Sony locks its own controller there to protect it from better competition

Using the Playstation Controller on a PC is possible with additional programs

An original Xbox controller would not make so much sense on the Playstation because the touchpad in the middle and the gyroscope sensor in the pad are missing

It is great to simulate that the controller is an Xbox controller.

Both unnecessary. I bet you a lot of you don't use those two things at all. At least the gyroscope.

I only use the PC for Final Fantasy 14 (and when I finally get a PS5 or the Ff14 team comes to an agreement with Microsoft about an Xbox version), the PC will also be over

Consoles are much easier to use and connecting to 4K TV and sound systems is much easier

And my Series X doesn't really take much performance compared to my PC with RTX 2070 Super

edit:

and again the wrong name in the comment Good question is terrible

I used the gyro sensor often you can control e.g. Flower with it (unfortunately this feature is missing in the later PC version of this game)

I also use Xbox pads on my PC

But as I said, it would be possible to use the pads on my Ps4 Pro
