I'm not OP, but I use an Xbox one controller.
The newer ones just use Bluetooth and these days my primary gaming computer is a laptop. Works fantastic, just plug and play really.
I did similar. Patches and gum. I was vaping between 5 and 10 ml of 18mg/ml at the end.
I followed the patch program, but during the first phase I slowed down how much gum I would chew. By the time I got to phase 2, I was gum free.
