Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller

Comment:
Smooth control... what's there to say - it's a 360 controller. None at all. Was tired of attempting to use the keyboard for NFS: Shift, didn't want a wheel/pedal arrangement. This functions beautifully.

Works. None.

The adjustment to using this controller vs. employing Logitechs Rumblepad was seamless...loaded drivers, plugged it in, created some minor adjustments the games and I was off and operating Absolutely nothing at all so far... Cost is a tiny high in comparison to other game controllers, but it is worth it...Newegg does it again.

This is easily the ideal Pc gamepad I've ever used. Just plug it into your USB port, Windows Vista 32ኜ bit each auto-detect the gamepad without needing to manually download or install any drivers. The gamepad itself is rock-solid & comfortable. The driver doesn't actually let for a lot customization, e.g. would be good to be able to re-assign the buttons. I believe there's a non-Microsoft plan that can do this but I've never ever tried myself. I largely use the gamepad with old-school emulator games by means of MAME, Project64, etc, on Windows Vista 64-bit.Hint: Project64 + Mario Kart 64 + a handful of of these gamepads = brilliant!

It. Just. Operates. It's an xbox 360 controller. Completely subjective, I know, but I prefer the layout/shape of Sony's dualshock controllers. It sort of sucks to be forced into shopping for a particular kind of controller for Pc gaming but this is far overshadowed by how properly this factor is supported by Games-for-Windows games. I wish there were a way to have this level of assistance for all Pc gamepads, but hey.. I'll take what I can get.

Plays games the keyboard just isn't made for. Halo two, GTA IV, many racing games also. Touch sensitive triggers for going faster/slower, vibration.The controller is effortless to install. Just plug into the usb and away you go! No fancy device driver required for Vista just purely plug and play! There's not 1! Didn't anticipate such a lengthy cord! I can literally stand on the other side of the room and still play...that's a good factor!

Is the same as xbox controller (great if you can't get more than xbox controller/huge xbox user).-L/R buttons are pressure sensitive, good for racing games.-Fantastic ergonomics-drivers/programmability wonderful -High priced.-Joystick wouldn't center. Couldn't stay straight in racing games or go exactly where I wanted to in emulation. Had to take it back. Didn't purchase it at newegg.

Fantastic build quality. Controls have a great really feel to them. Tends to make the gaming encounter a entire lot far more enjoyable when you dont have to fight the controller although playing the game. Feedback is not overwhelming but gives sufficient to enhance the feel of the game. Its pricier than some other PS3 style controllers. IMHO, its worth it. I've had the controller for just more than a week now and I've enjoyed it soo significantly I felt compelled to write a assessment. Ideal for GRID. Generally use the keyboard/mouse for gaming but GRID functions far better with gamepad controllers. Had a cheapo gamepad and could in no way maintain the vehicle on the road. The 360 produced all the difference. GRID also has built in presets for this controller so you really dont have to map any buttons. Cannot wait to try this with other games, but FPS's will likely play better with keyboard/mouse.

Excellent design. Uncomplicated to hold and comfy. Buttons are uncomplicated to reach. The two triggers top rated off this controller. Oops, and don't forget about the Rumble in Windows. Value, yet worth it. Some games like COD4 and COD:WAW don't support game pads, but you can just get Xpadder (Free) and use mouse and keyboard emulation by way of the system. You can even customize your controls. You know you want to obtain this controller.

This controller is the very best computer game controller I have ever employed. Folks keep commenting that the center xbox button does nothing, hello men and women, that button is utilised for Microsoft games for windows reside. The buttons have a exceptional feel and response. Incredibly nicely created. Microsoft often puts a lot of care and top quality into the controllers/mouse/keyboards etc that they make and this is no exception. Wired, but I honestly prefer it. Go and get 1!

This is the closest you can get to console style gaming on a Computer. Has the best third party computer software compatability of any other Pc controller. Most of the newer games will automatically set the buttons and controls to the identical settings as their console counterparts. With out a doubt the ideal and most comfortable controller to use with Pc racing games. Functions with Grid and Dirt flawlessly. Can't wait to try it out on Dirt two. Also if you pick to use a controller rather than the keyboard and mouse for initially person shooters I have heard that this is the controller to use above all others...an absolute ought to have for any Computer gamer. Very simple installation...takes about 2 minutes. It's not a wireless...but it's also ฟ.00 less expensive. not truly a con. Also operates with the actual X-Box 360 console...just plug it in and you're very good to go.

Works with Crysis two, Batman, Darksiders... so far extremely content with this purchase None

- easy to configure- comfy- lengthy cord- it functions- looks good see other Why is this factor over ฮ?

Comment:
Really comfy and nicely-built. Realistic vibration feedback. Buttons are well-positioned with a solid really feel and response. Not sufficient Computer games support it. Driver doesn't help creation of custom game profiles. The Xbox 360 Prevalent Controller is Microsoft's very best gaming controller to date. It's a shame that much more games don't support it and Microsoft doesn't appear to be pushing it.That mentioned the games do help it (Crysis, Gears of War, UT3 w/ patch, and Lost Planet) make very good use of the button layout and vibrational force feedback. I wouldn't recommend this controller for flight simulator or space combat sims but is superb for just about any other game. Definitely proposed.

Wonderful controller. Materials really feel durable, excellent quality. Rumble feature really operates, which was an matter for my other controllers. Excellent cost. Weird adapter thing that goes from serial connection to USB connection. Who utilizes a serial connection? I taped the adapter on with electric tape.Necessary to install drivers with a CD. A tad lame, but hey, I've been spoiled by Logitech.

My 8 year old daughter has put it through the paces and then some. Durable and plug and play in Vista 32 Ultimate. Not had a challenge. None If it doesnt function as advertised, probabilities are your game doesnt provide native assistance. Do a Google search for Wikipedia PC XBOX games, and you will get a list of titles that perform straight out of the box. The non-faint of heart can also download freeware profile programs that will let you map your controller to that computer software. I am confident that some of the poor testimonials are derived from individuals thinking that it will function for Every single title just because it is a Microsoft product. Not so, do your investigation on the internet particular to the gaming title prior to roasting the review board with a negative comment

Wonderful top quality, Functions well with most OS's Does not function with Windows 7. When you unplug the controller it causes a blue screen of death. Microsoft, please fix this problem

Comment:
Appears exactly like an XBox controller to me. Good long cord and responsive controls. Simple setup in XP or 7. Been playing Batman Arkham Asylum and it's been solid. Fairly excellent price and of course super quick shipping from NewEgg. None that I can assume of.

Works excellent, easy install. Purchased this to use with Racedriver GRID, and it works good. I wish it came in black/gray. I have owned a logitech gamepad in the past, and the microsoft is undoubtedly superior.

า.99 with totally free shipping on neweggื.99 at Walmart + tax sold out Had to wait. A superb box came with Newegg on the side and filler inside. Makes me want to order a bigger acquire AM3 motherboard and DDR3! I adore getting a package in the mail! LOL

I downloaded the driver for this controller long just before I even bought it since I heard horror stories about several folks having difficulties with this. But I didn't come across any troubles whatsoever. When I did get this controller, I plugged it in and tested it on a few of the games I had.. It worked good! I read critiques on some men and women complaining about the trigger buttons not operating on Vista and lots of problems utilizing Vista 64-bit. I use Vista 64 and this controller works fine for me, and yes.. all the buttons and triggers do function. I already had been utilizing the Ideazon Z-Fang board, which is good (with me getting a Lefty), but some games merely can't be played effectively with a keyboard and mouse, like that new Street Fighter IV game... I necessary to get a handheld gamepad. A lot of folks complained about not becoming able to use this for their older Pc games. Nicely, this controller was not made for games that had been released prior to the Xbox 360, but rather especially for games that are Xbox port-overs. Besides, if you have games that old, you in all probability already completed them ages ago. It's correct that you can't remap the buttons, but most games permit you to do that from their options menu, so that's not a major deal to me. If that is crucial for you or you don't play games that are Xbox Ports, then it would not make any sense acquiring this controller. And for the record, I used to own a Logitech Cordless RumblePad two that failed on me following three months of occassional use. I set that aside for a few months, and forgot about it, and then contacted Logitech support like 1 day after the warranty expired. That's when I learned they ignore clients with expired warranties. Right after that, no additional Logitech solutions for me. Since I just lately began utilizing it, it's attainable that the original drivers had been really buggy, but the latest set of drivers I downloaded from Microsoft (v 6.2.29.) works good. I was confused no matter if the "Xbox Frequent Controller" and the typical Xbox 360 controller had been distinct or not.. but it turns out they are precisely the exact same... and both use USB and it makes no difference what the packaging says... all you require is to download and install the driver. A lot of Pc games getting released NOW are nothing but Xbox ports, and for some reason game developers make the controls mimic the Xbox controller. A superior example is Wheelman. This controller fills in the void I had for the games I couldn't use the keyboard or Fang Z-Board on.

WILL PLAY MY GAMES ON Computer OR 360 ITS WIRED, BUT KNEW THIS JUMPING ON BOARD :)

Incredibly confortable game pad. I ve ever know that windows can create such factor. I seriously liked Xbox game pad for windows. incredibly Addicting It's genuinely depends on game, some games I would prefer mouse and keybord, but you can get game pad for games like Fifa or NFS

You can plug 4 of these into a Pc and configure them with some super nintendo or playstation 2 or n64 emulator or whatever other emulator you prefer, and play multiplayer games just as you would if you had a physical console plugged into your Pc. The controller itself is properly created, can handle becoming mishandled, has good-feeling triggers and buttons, and is not ugly. Most recent Pc games natively support this controller. Numerous alternative drivers exist to customize your usage of this controller in any way you see fit for any game or other application ever created. Center button doesn't actually do a lot. I've had one of these for the longest time. I just ordered an additional so that buddies can play mario kart or timesplitters or something with me on the hdtv, without having worrying about bringing a controller of their own when they pay a visit to my home. Making use of a Computer with 2+ of these controllers hooked to an HDTV with a massive selection of emulators and roms - couple of better techniques exist to enjoyably invest hours with some pals.
