Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller

Comment:
-Microsoft created a good choice by going with a usb connection and generating drivers for windows so it performs with pc-ever due to the fact I got my hands on the xbox 360 controller years ago, I loved the way it felt, from the joysticks to the triggers and buttons. (there is a purpose why so quite a few firm's have copied its style)-with the suitable computer software you can produce profiles on this thing to suit just about any require (web surfing, music/movie playback)-quite a few newer games (games for windows titles) have built-in assistance for this controller which is really good-closest factor to a pc normal controller-good for racing, fighting, and adventure games.-even does properly with shooters that have built in assistance(Far Cry 2, Dead Space, etc)-rumble functions good (where supported)-has a extremely extended cord, and you can buy longer extension cables that have the exact same fast-release connector -don't count on this to replace keyboard and mouse, specially when it comes to rpg's and rts games-though its does effectively with fps games for casual gamers, any competitive gamer will fair much superior with their gaming mouse + keyboard setup-wired? if this is an challenge for you, appear up the wireless dongle that microsoft sells that lets you use all wireless xbox360 accessories with your pc. -an individual commented about this factor obtaining a weird serial adapter that goes to usb.... effectively its not genuinely an adapter, its a speedy release mechanism place in place for when you accidently yank the controller or an individual trips more than the wire. So as an alternative of pulling down your console or knocking issues over (and possibly damaging costly gear), the connector just snaps off and no harm is completed :)

The only controller that truly operates adequately in Windows. Just like a 360 controller--operates perfectly. Forced to get this as it's the only controller many games support. I have the Logitech PS2 like controller and when it's "fine" about half the games don't support it--MS has written greater software package for this device. The comment about obtaining the software only is correct on--it's a fine controller but it's the software that makes this a have to have for personal computer gamers.I wonder how much Microsoft pays gaming businesses to NOT help other controllers?

I love this controller. This is the second one I have purchased for my Pc and have no problems at all with it on my Win7 64bit Computer. The little ridges on the toggles will put on off more than time. That's the only con I can come up with.

Extended wire. That's about it. The big difficulty with these is that there is a Big quantity of SLOP in the joy sticks. They are not precise at all. In truth they are useless. When you calibrate the sticks you can see how a lot movement there is in the sticks ahead of the cursor moves on the screen. With this considerably slop you can't steer straight ahead without producing constant corrections. You can't get smooth acceleration. The rumble vibrates so tricky my eyeballs want to pop out. Also the controller is incredibly heavy. The logitech wired game controller is Much Greater and cheaper than this one. I am going to RMA this.

Similar controller the X360 utilizes (would use it with the console if I had a single). Great controller for many Pc games, as well as emulators (just have to configure the buttons). No bluetooth capabilities (~_^)But seriously, nothing at all wrong. I've used one of these controllers due to the fact about 2006 on my PCs. They've carried out properly with Halo and Halo 2; surprisingly fantastic with some NFS titles. Also, fantastic for emulators, immediately after some button profile assignments (though, a bit dodgy for the D-pad only emulators) . The left stick can get misaligned from time to time, but just recalibrate it and resume play.

literally "plug & play;" windows 7 auto-installed the drivers, games for windows live map the buttons, every thing functions nicely none usb cord is long enough to reach the couch from the htpc beside the tv

Operates great. Win 7 picked up the drivers correct away. I didn't even will need the disk.Can be applied as a corded controller for xbox 360 as effectively. After my pc comes out of sleep mode the green ring flashes till I unplug it. Annoying but not adequate to -eggs I purchased this controller to play games that I had to drive cars in because the all or absolutely nothing turning wasn't cutting it for me on a keyboard. Namely Red Faction: Guerrilla and GTA4. The controller is wonderful for this function and doesn't take up a lot of space on my desk, like a steering wheel would, when I make a decision I want my mouse and keyboard for moving around on foot.

Excellent feel. If you currently have an x-box you are currently comfortable with it. The A button is already beginning to stick a little.

Comment:
Does almost everything its supposed to. It set up swiftly and was ready to use in snap. None! Sweet deal Newegg!

Games for Windows Reside will set the controls automatically for you so that saves you a little difficulty. Literally that is the only Pro. Boy exactly where to begin...the joysticks are WAY to sensitive, you barely touch them and it registers that you have moved the stick nearly all the way to the side, and the software offers no potential to set a deadzone, which wreaks havoc on many games, even some GFWL games, requiring manual editing of the games config files. You cannot use the trigger controls as normal buttons in numerous games considering that they are set as the Z axis and not typical buttons. Due to the joystick issue and the way the controller is detected you either cannot use it at all or all of its functions in all non GFWL games. When you move the D-Pad it interferes with the upper left joystick and causes it to register movement. Utilizing the trigger buttons also causes comparable movement detection. Do not even think about acquiring this. Hit the Back button on your browser and find another controller. I wasted $xx on this acquire, don't do the identical factor!

This controller is quite nicely place together, and it has great response. It is fantastic for console emulation, and for the most element it fits properly in the hand. Feels a bit clunky at occasions; although considerably greater than the 1st generation Xbox controller. It may well be an concern for smaller sized hands. I wish they would have made the grips a tiny larger in the back, a lot more like a Dreamcast controller, there are instances when I do not really feel as even though I have a very good enough grip on it. All round this controller is a good get. It is of considerably greater top quality than most other Computer controllers I have ever owned. It is much much more responsive and has a superior overall feel in the hand. If you are searching for a gamepad for your Computer, I would give this solution a higher recommendation.

Comfortable, performs. Windows live automatic integrations works perfectly with Windows 7 Windows live doesn't integrate with Negative company two... sort of frustrating, personal preference

Comment:
Feel of a precise replica of the x box controller except for Computer. It operates perfect and has a good long cable!! Nothing at all!!

Comment:
Plug in and Play. Wired? Greater than wireless. Wireless also pricey if you going to get rechargeable and charger. Plus the receiver is prone to break.

This is a great controller for those of you playing console games ported to the Pc. Functions very nicely with my games. Just load the driver, plug it in, and play Does NOT operate with my Plantronics GameCon Pro 1 headset. Installing the x-box controller renders the headset inoperable. Absolutely nothing but static. Disabling the X-box controller will enable the headset to function generally. Which was not good for me mainly because I purchased this to play games with voice communication. Its a good controller. A bit of a mastering curve for me given that this was my 1st experience with this kind of controller, but otherwise a good controller for playing console form games on the Pc. Make sure you have a newer headset nevertheless.

what can i say... IT IS Amazing?! :DThe controller Performed way farther than my expectations. eh ?! none!! Buying it from Newegg saved me about ten bucks(retail price)

Excellent controller. Will take a tiny receiving utilised to but soon after that it's rather comfortable. Excellent response without having obtaining the lag that you can often get with wireless.The USB connector is just a gender changer so if I want to use it with my 360 I can. The Microsoft software program isn't fantastic. In reality I uninstalled it and some games in fact operate much better. The analog sticks are wonderful and but I assume the d-pad is a little on the huge side which can be challenging to use if you want to be very rapidly and correct as well.I replaced an old Logitech controller with this and I'm not looking back.I tried xpadder and it works good for some of the games that don't recognize the controller.

The Xbox360 Wired Windows Pc Gamepad/Controller is a fantastic piece of gear for anybody searching for a high-grade material controller for use with specific Pc games. Personally I got it for games like Dirt two and stuff like that. Mostly racing games. It feels quite tough and comfy in my hands, and this is coming from an avid Playstation guy. The rumble is really fantastic as well. Much more high-priced than Logitech's very best wired supplying.Gets unsynced when I place the laptop or computer into sleep mode and then exit sleep mode. For what I needed this gamepad for, it does the job flawlessly. I nevertheless favor playing shooters with a mouse & keyboard, but for racing, fighting games, and issues of that nature.. this is way much better.

it's an Xbox controller, it microsoft , plug and play set up was no hassel. so far so excellent.. wish it came in several colors and types like the dragon one at wally world that they under no circumstances have.. got arthritis in each hand and the wasd hurts soon after a bit but the x box controller dosent so I can nonetheless game a bit with my kids!

Solid, sturdy controllerPressure sensitive triggersLong CordFlawless integration with Games for Windows Thumbstick layout it awful, as is D-pad, need to be swapped. Ok, for a extended time I've been avoiding obtaining this, but simply because all the newer games (Games for Windows branded) are all inherently defaulted to this controller, in some instances exclusively. I am not a large controller user, but there are times I do use it.Largest complaint is that the left thumbstick and the D-pad layout tends to make no sense.I've never ever played console games, so I don't know why the did this, but all other Computer controllers I've used (I've applied a lot of) all have had the two thumbsticks in the middle and the D-pad off to the left side.I just wish I could use my Saitek P2500 in Games for Windows, but even with Xpadder or Saiteks programming computer software, particular games just do not work appropriate with it, hence the reason I got the 360 controller.I guess I can get employed to it, for as tiny as I use it.Nonetheless it would be nice to see a new layout, even a single branded for Games for Windows instead of Xbox.Still it is a pretty decent controller, my daughter seriously likes it.

*Comfortable*Easy to install*Nice release mechanism so the Computer doesn't fall if something pulls the cord.*Everything you love about a XBOX 360 controller, for your Pc. *Could be a bit less expensive.*Umm.. It's white so it gets visibly dirty quicker? This is fantastic. Installed the drivers from the web site, plugged it in and it worked with no issue. I use Xpadder to map it to a couple of MMOs that I play, but for my Pc games like GTA IV, Fallout 3 and Mass Impact, the controller is readily usable on start up. Undoubtedly the way to go in terms of compatibility and comfort. Barely even notice the cord is there, and I haven't had a case of my thumbs hurting however.

works fine, i downloaded the drivers on the web prior to i got the actual controller. i just plugged it in and it worked no issue none didnt use the instalation CD

Comment:
Ideal Pc controller there is No button remapping The trigger buttons are a single +/- axis and whilst this functions fine with game that assistance the 360 controller especially, on games that use a generic windows gamepad you will not be able to use the triggers as buttons. There is NO WAY to remap them to function as common buttons. You can use a publicly readily available third party driver for this but it won't function with Vista or windows 7 64-bit due to the fact it's not signed.

Extremely easy to set upOperates good Not a con specifically, But it would be cool if it came with a plan to set up the keybindings, bring about right now you have to set it up in every individual game.BUT I downloaded xpadder wich fixes that absolutely.
