Comment:
*It functions as advertised!*Comes with a long cable, almost certainly 9 feet!*Compatable with each Windows (including Win7 x64) and the xbox 360 console! *An annoying adapter that goes from a serial connection to the usb connection for access to my computer. Whenever I step on the cable I tend to knock the adapter loose and have to reconnect it. I'd say this is a design feature, so that you wouldn't tug on the USB and potentially pull out the USB port altogether, but nonetheless its annoying for me mainly because I just feel it is too loose. *The xbox button on the center of the gamepad does absolutely nothing when the controller is connected to windows, effectively I would suspect that it gives battery charge details if you had the wireless version of the gamepad. This is what I have gathered from reading some of the aid menu's, but otherwise it serves no other function when hooked up to a laptop or computer.

USB, long wired cord, doable cost. 7x64 picked it up correct away and installed updates. That dosen't mean every thing will work out of the box with it as alot of PC titles are not ported for controllers. Does not detect Cylons. Picked this up to delight in a couple of titles on the 37" in my recliner. If you've not realy utilized a controller for games prior to it's not simple to do getting used to keyboard commands - functions. But software like pinnaclegameprofiler assists out alot.

I've used the Microsoft Sidewinder originally. But this new MS XBOX 360 is Marvelous. I do a lot of PC gaming and after awhile my hands would start off to cramp up on. I utilized this new controller and I don't get as considerably cramping as I utilised to. If you are looking for a New Controller for the PC get this One. Only problem is it will take time to get use to the L/R triggers.It only took me a couple of hours to get use to them.

I really feel like I'm playing a genuinely good game console. Oh yeah the controller is for a actually good game console. My graphics and flexibility are superior though since I am on a PC. Good for some games like NFS Hot Pursuit, Darksiders, Prototype and Resident Evil five. Not so excellent for other games like Oblivion or Dragon Age. Would suggest to a lengthy lost family members member and to you trigger you're pretty ok too I guess.

No need to have to be concerned about low charge controllers.Works nicely for PC gaming.D-Pad isn't as mushy as the wireless. I'm using JoyToKey [freeware] to map keys to the buttons on the controller considering that quite a few developers don't add support for them.It works excellent on 360 but on PC- I have the WASD keys for moving mapped to the left analog stick. For some reason it tends to stick after you push it in a specific direction. I'm not positive if it's a software program [JoyToKey] issue or controller difficulty. Although the D-Pad isn't as mushy as the wireless- it could nonetheless use some improvement.Get one if you prefer utilizing a controller to play FPSs on PC & you can nonetheless use it on your 360.

Ideal compatibility, the controller is produced by the people today who created the operating system, so there was never ever a flaw. I personally really like my Xbox and to have the capability to take it perfect from my Xbox and plug it into my laptop is just incredible. Alhough its not Microsofts fault, it would be nice if games for the PC would have the capability to set default controls to that of the 360. Folks have to have to quit complaining about it being an Xbox controller, sorry sony doesnt make their own operating program, but why would you seriously anticipate a sony controller for an entirely Microsoft product.

Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller
Cons:- Rumble pads are a nuisance

Pros:- It's a 360 controller for PC haha- Allows for a feeling of console gaming on the PC (good for driving games and console-based PC ports)- Buttons still work after half a year
Comment:
I'm going to skip over the pros, and go right to the con.After playing 2K11 for the PC over the past few months, I noticed that it kept detecting the controller plugging in and out. I thought this was a problem with the controller, as it had been a decently long time since I bought it so I figured there was a problem with the internal motherboard in the controller. I read up online that this constant disconnecting and reconnecting is caused by shoddy rumble pads. So I had to pry open the controller, which isn't hard but it does remove the warranty, and manually had to unplug the rumble pads from the motherboard. After doing this, not only did the controller feel as light as a feather, but it also removed the constant disconnection problem.Of course, if the build of the controller was better, I wouldn't have had to do this.

The controller of my best friend suddently stopped working, prolly because she was overtightening the cord so I bought her this as a replacement and it does the job perfectly.

If you are used to using an Xbox controller on a 360, then you would be right at home using this controller of course. It has very nice sticks but the d-pad could be nicer to use.
