4 out of 5 stars XBOX 360 Controller Review for MS Windows   September 2, 2007
Henguist Elder (United Kingdom)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

Like other reviewers, I was looking for a controller/gamepad for the PC. Having fumbled around with 3rd party products I found them to be useless. In the past I used an adaptor that would allow PS2 controllers to be used worked OK but the lack customisation was poor.

Having installed the provided drivers the controller was identified by WinXP immediately, however by doing some research I installed the XBCD drivers (Google this term or look on wikipedia) and I was able to initiate the rumble feature (not supported by the Microsoft drivers in older games).

I use this controller for Dirt, Sega, Nintendo and Winaue emulation - the pad works like a charm! However you do have to spend a few minutes setting up the controller.

If your looking for a gamepad/controller this worth getting, will add a more interesting element to your PC game play. However I do prefer to stick to Keyboard and Mouse combo for FPS!!



5 out of 5 stars Really good   December 5, 2006

This controller is great value for money, although it requires drivers once installed it works with just about everything.
I mostly use mine with emulators to play N64 and Snes games, and these work really well. A friend bought a different controller for only £2 less and the buttons doubled up with the d-pad and made it hard to play alot of games with. All the buttons on this controller work independently, are comfortable to press and feel well built.



5 out of 5 stars You wont be dissapointed!   December 23, 2005

Firstly, this controller does what it says it does. It works perfectly on my Windows XP, even though you will need to install the software that comes with the CD. My CD didnt work, but no worries - the manual referred to the Microsoft website in which I could download the software from.

This controller looks impeccable, although the green lights only appear momentarily when the PC turns on, so no flashy stuff when you're playing :D

Oh and if you're worried, it does work with the Xbox 360 aswell, this controller is a better purchase than the standard wired controller for the Xbox 360. So you get both worlds for the less the cost!


5 out of 5 stars Xbox Controller for the PC   January 29, 2009
Mr. D. Jones (UK)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This 360 controller works perfectly for the PC on both my XP and Vista computers.

on my vista system I did not have to even install the drivers Disc as the controller was picked up right away by vista.

I went to my friend house and it works fine as well on the Xbox 360 system as you would expect it to.



5 out of 5 stars The only controller to buy   July 28, 2008

The truth is that I was never too big on controllers, but having got a hold of GRID and Lego Indiana Jones, I decided that needed one.

This is THE controller, if you don't already have one, or are not looking for a specialist type, I highly recommend this one!

Pro's: Great design, comfortable in the hands, new games come with in built compatibility (no need to set the keys), great for football, action, platform and driving games, very responsive, same standard as an Xbox 360 controller. No need for batteries, drivers install in a minute. Can be used as a second controller if you have an Xbox 360, the wire means that you don't accidentally turn on the Xbox when you use it.

Con's: It wasn't available a few years ago.

Tested on: Race Driver Grid, Lego Indiana Jones, Devil May Cry 4, Pro Evolution Soccer 4

Overall: Excellent, if you want a controller, this is it.
