Guitar Hero Live controller issue on pc

Apparently, if you have Win10, it will be recognized immediately and it will work without any problem (source). So I'll assume you don't have Win10.

Most players out there use a software called Xpadder to map keys on the Guitar Hero Live (GHL) controller, so it can be used on a PC. This Reddit subject shows that all controllers should work on:

The Guitar Hero Live guitar controller will work on the following platforms: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U , Xbox 360, Xbox One, and iOS.

The player having an issue had the game on xbox360, but as it is stated the controller is the same for all platforms.

About Xpadder: the first answer of this reddit subject explains how to use a GH controller on a PC using Xpadder. The user even did a video tutorial. As I can't trust a file posted on a google drive, here is another tutorial explaining how to do it (PC and MAC).

So, to sum up: Yes, a GHL controller for PS3 can be used on PC, but:

• you can use directly your GHL controller if you have Win10
• if you don't, using Xpadder will likely solve the problem, as you can map the commands using this software.

Apparently, I have not tested it yet, but it's because of the USB dongle... Many people on the web are saying that it must be a xbox360 dongle, which is compatible with all GHL controllers. The other USB dongles don't seem to use the same way to understand the guitar's entries and send them to your computer... Anyway you can test that on http://html5gamepad.com .

Sorry if you don't understand very well, I'm not english...

Hope it helped
