The Riptide PCI Game Controller is a type of game controller or gamepad designed to interface with a computer via the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot. It was developed by Riptide and used primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s for connecting game controllers to a desktop PC, typically offering an alternative to USB-based controllers that became more popular later on. The device could be used for playing video games on a PC, providing support for multiple inputs, such as analog sticks, buttons, and triggers.

The Riptide PCI Game Controller Windows driver is the software necessary for the computer's operating system (such as Windows 98, Windows XP, or newer) to recognize and interact with the Riptide PCI Game Controller hardware. Without the appropriate driver, the system will not be able to use the game controller correctly, and the controller's inputs might not be recognized.
