Installing the Logitech F710 Wireless Gamepad on Windows 7 x64 (XInput Driver)
Update from 2015-10-18: Windows 10 Pro (x64) does not appear to require this workaround. It automatically installed the correct driver and allowed me to use the controller right away.
Hi!
In order to be able to benefit from using the XInput mode for the Logitech F710 Wireless Gamepad, of course you need to install the correct driver. This is made a little hard for Windows 7 x64 seeing as there is no driver that comes with the device itself.

I found a guide on how you can manage it by using Microsoft's official Xbox 360 Controller driver.
Be careful though, you're messing with driver files. Use this guide at your own risk.
Go to the Microsoft Hardware downloads page: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/downloads
Click on the category 'Gaming'
Click on the link 'Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows'
Download the correct version of the file (Windows 7 64-bit only) and install it
Open the Device Manager (e.g. [Windows]+[Break] => Device Manager)
Right-click on the entry with 'Logitech F710' in its name and the yellow triangle icon in front of it
Open its properties
Switch to the 'Details' tab
Choose the property 'Hardware Ids'
Right-click on the one without the '&REV_<Number>' at the end of the name and copy it. It should look something like this: USBVID_046D&PID_C21F
Go to the directory in which you installed the Xbox 360 Accessories Software a minute ago: C:Program FilesMicrosoft Xbox 360 Accessories
Open the file Xusb21.inf with a plain text editor like Notepad
At the top in the commented section you can see the line containing 'Wireless Common Controller USBVid_045E&Pid_0719'. Search for 'USBVid_045E&Pid_0719' and replace each occurence with the hardware ID you copied earlier. Afterwards, save it to the file. You might need to have your editor program in elevated privilege mode in order to do so.
Go back to the Device Manager with the open F710 properties window
Switch to the 'Driver' tab
Click on the 'Update Driver...' button
In the assistant, choose 'Browse my computer for driver software'
Choose the path 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft Xbox 360 Accessories'
Confirm the driver warning and you're good to go
To check if it really worked, you can just press the Logitech button on the game controller and it should cause a little frame with the Xbox logo, the text 'Click for Help' and a down-pointing arrow button and an X button to pop up in the lower center of your screen.
I do not usually recommend modifying driver files like that, but I have used this method before and it worked for me, so I stopped looking for a better way, as there doesn't seem to be any official solution provided by Logitech themselves (which is a shame).
