Warning

Use the guide at your own risk. Read the warnings/risks HERE.

Step 1

Clone or download this repo: hidusbf.
Unzip hidusbf.zip
- If you downloaded the repo as a ZIP file you'll need to unzip hidusbf-master.zip and then hidusbf.zip.
~~Inside the hidusbf directory (hidusbf-master/hidusbf/) double-click SweetLow.CER to install the certificate.~~

Step 2

We need to add a key to the registry to allow Hidusbf driver to run even though Secure Boot is ON. Go HERE for more information.

There are 2 keys you can use:

key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy
value: UpgradedSystem
type: REG_DWORD
data: 0x0

key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy
value: WhqlSettings
type: REG_DWORD
data: 0x1

Choose one of the keys, open Command Prompt as administrator (shift + right-click -> Run as administrator) and run either:

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy /v UpgradedSystem /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy /v WhqlSettings /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1

To verify your key was added, you can run:

reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy

Step 3

Restart your computer for the registry changes to take effect.

Step 4

Inside the DRIVER directory (hidusbf-master/hidusbf/DRIVER/) run Setup.exe as administrator.
Click the drop-down menu on the top left of the window and select All.
Find your controller and click on it, highlighting it in the window.

Step 5

Click on the Install Service button at the bottom of the window and select yes on the window that pops up.
In the drop-down menu to the left of Selected Rate at the bottom, select the polling rate you want your controller at (for most people this will be 1000).
Now, click on the Filter On Device checkbox in the bottom left corner, enabling it.
Finally, unplug your controller from your computer and then plug it back in.
It will look like this when you're done:

That's it, you're done!

Removing/Disabling

Disabling the Overclocking

To disable the overclocking, you just need to run setup.exe again and uncheck the Filter On Device checkbox in the bottom left corner.

Removing the Registry keys

Open Command Prompt as administrator (shift + right-click -> Run as administrator) and run one of the following depending on which key you added above:

reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy /v UpgradedSystem

reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy /v WhqlSettings

Completely Removing Hidusbf

To completely remove the Hidusbf driver and/or reinstall the stock Windows driver you need to:

Go to the DRIVER directory in file explorer (hidusbf-master/hidusbf/DRIVER/)
Right click the HIDUSBFU.INF file and click on Install

Restart your computer and you're done!
