The pad is comfortable to hold and is high-quality workmanship. In my eyes the XBox360 controller is the currently best available controllers.
The PC version of the XBox360 Wireless Controller is a USB receiver. About this receiver up to 4 XBox360 Wireless Controller can be connected to the PC.
It does not matter whether it's the Xbox or PC version of the controller, since these are identical.
Therefore, it is in reverse, of course, also possible to operate the PC controller with the XBox360.
I myself have the wireless version for about 2 years and also had a XBox360. Therefore, I also can make the appropriate practical experience,
how easy it is to use the controller on the other system.
The pad in the game use:
I want to emphasize that all ug games support the pad immediately and most even realize that there is an XBox360 wireless pad.
In this case, both in the menus, and the tutorials show the correct key impressions of the Xbox Pads Pads (eg "green-A" for on, "Red-B" for back, "yellow Y" Change for and " Blue-X "for take over, etc.).
I've been using the pad straight games without any problems (and with the default settings of the games) played:
- Need for Speed Shift
- Race Driver Grid
- Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (the current) *)
- Batman: Arkham Asylum (only the demo) *)
- Mafia 2 *)
- Duke Nukem Forever *)
- Lara Croft Guardian of Light *)
- Dungeon Siege 3 *)
- Overlord 2 *)
- Trine *)
*) Is recognized as XBox360 Pad
The Pad and Windows 7 64bit:
I must admit that I initially had problems with the standard drivers, the Windows (7 64Bit) automatically installed.
I have therefore downloaded the latest drivers directly from Microsoft and everything went wonderfully:
The pad is fully recognized, all buttons incl. Force Feedback function properly. Even the icon of the pad is displayed correctly under "Devices and Printers"
(Ok, that's not really important, but quite nice ^^).
One might accuse Microsoft well that they enclose the pad completely outdated drivers and the purchaser must itself seek a driver, but that, unfortunately, do most hardware vendor now.
So who falsely claimed that the pad under "Windows 7 64bit" does not work, which should not necessarily and exclusively with the here-rated product, but also perhaps to himself locate the fault. A PC happens to be no console: Plug 'n Play is indeed getting better, but 100% there is unfortunately not (yet)!
