Game controller as remote

Is there a way to connect a ps4 or Xbox controller to a 65 inch 4k onn roku TV I have tried the USB port and in the settings I have tried connecting it as a remote and no luck. Has any one successfully connected a game controller to thisTV, and how did you do it?

      Hello I just got a 55inch roku tv hisense  55u6  12.5.5 software

      I also want to use my controller (without xbox) as a remote. Can I do this with this tv? I have a chatpad on my controller and it would be awesome to be able to use it. Ty

        Yes, the Ultra has a USB port. No, it won't work for anything other than connecting a storage device (USB stick or portable hard drive) for playing media.

      Bxtthxl3​ Why? It's not a gaming platform, and the very few games that are available on a Roku don't require the use of any sort of gaming controller.
