Can I use my Xbox One controller to play the PC versions of the Mass Effect games?

I asked this question and based on the answer I decided to buy the entire trilogy.

However, I have one concern. I am a bit bored from using the keyboard + mouse and want to try the Xbox one controller. Of course I could just get the Xbox version but it is less private to the children. There seems to be some mods that allows the use of the Xbox 360 controller.

So I wonder if it would work with a Xbox One controller or if I need another mod to do this. Has anyone tried this?

I don't know about Mass Effect specifically, but from my experience, the Xbox One controller works on all games which support the Xbox 360 controller.

Keep in mind that games that support the Xbox 360 controller, but not the Xbox One controller, may ask you to press buttons that are not available on the Xbox One controller, such as Start and Back. The equivalent to Start is Menu, and the equivalent to Back is View.

If you're looking for official controller support, none of the PC versions of the Mass Effect games have it. You could probably use a third party program like Joy2Key, but you would need to configure that yourself or download a profile someone else has made.

If the PC recognizes the controller then sure, you'll be able to play it.

The mod you linked to improves the HUD while playing with the controller, but breaks it if you change to keyboard + mouse, as stated.

Today I installed the game with all DLCs plus the mod I mention in the question.

Yes, my Xbox One controller works perfectly with the mod. So this finally answers the question.
