Good purchase
I’ve been using this controller for some PC games as a substitute for a joystick/gamepad. It’s very ergonomic, it has good sensitivity, and it is worth the price. The rumble is also enjoyable for the PC games that support the controller.
Excellent!!
Plug & Play in my vista x64. I’m really enjoing the gaming experience with this controller.
Best Gamming Controller for the PC
This review is mainly for those interested in using the controller for a PC, but I rate it the same for the Xbox 360 as well.
I am a frequent PC gammer, and have always been looking for a better controller. Since I got my Xbox 360 controller, I haven’t looked for a new one since. I use it mostly for fps games like Halo. The overall shape of the controller is nice, and it fits in my hand almost naturaly. The button layout is just right, and all the buttons are nicely spaced and sized. My only complaint is that the right thumbstick is a little too sensitive, but my guess is some games probably have a setting to adjust that. The only improvement that I see they could make in it is to fix the right thumbstick to a better speed (maybe it’s just my opinion), and to give the Xbox button in the middle some sort of functionality. As for wired and wireless, the cable is so light and thin that it didn’t bother me, plus there is no battery, so you can always charge the enemy without having to worry about the battery dying, leaving you to your doom. And, because the connection is USB, it is nice to use if your friend only has one controller for his/her Xbox 360 when you go over to their house to play, or if you ever buy your own Xbox 360 in the future.
If you have Windows XP, like me, you can find the driver that is required on http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/DownloadResult.aspx?category=Gaming&type=Controller&name=pk_xbox_cont&os=XP_SP1&lang=en If you have Windows Vista, it’s just plug-and-play, no driver required.
The best game console control, works for PC too and now to me is a standard
I bought this control to use on my PC. I downloaded the software from the Microsoft website, after installation I can play all the games that I want, even with the vibration function. Stop looking for others, try it and you’ll see that this is for you.
We wanted a second controller
We hardly ever play 2 player games on the 360, but it is nice to have the option. As for the remote, the cord is long enough and it works well. I kinda wish I would have gotten a second wireless remote, but whatev.
