I saw at low yat IT hypermart that they sell xbox 360 controller for the pc,any 1 have used it yet.

As i know games like gears of war,Lost planet will benefit better control with this controller.

Its kinda pricey but transforming our pc into a xbox machine will certainly be cool

Ur a little behind in terms of finding this out.......its been out for a long time....i am using it and it makes the pc feel like a xbox 360 with better graphics biggrin.gif and all the new games have support for it which is cool. in terms of ergnomics its the best controller out there....very comfortable.

it is out for so so so so long now only u find out?
rainingzero
i believe u can play gears of war better using mouse as the pc version is harder and tuned specially for mouse usage....
Eoma
Yup, for FPS i sitll prefer a keyboard + mouse combo. I use the controller for racing and action/platofrm games.
naq_saviola
i'm usng it for pro street thumbup.gif
ryudox
yeah...i figured it out a long time ago... just buy xbox controller then modify it using the USB connector..try goggling and u will find it out..cheers...
blacktrix
I have it, but mostly use it for my Xbox360 now. It was great BEFORE I had my 360, but now I don't have to worry about driver updates or hardware incompatibilities on my PC tongue.gif

heizad
i own one n use it to play PES2008..if u play PES2008 in vista just plug n play..no need to reconfigure the button...tried the controller in crysis n gears of war..still prefer keyborad+mouse combo tongue.gif

Hahaha looks like im behind time redi,seldom go to low yat hehehe rclxm9.gif
victor_hoh
very nice controller indeed, although a bit cacat on the D-Pad. I have used it for

Overlord
NFS ProStreet
DiRT
Clive Barker's Jericho
ccm
I'm using it for prostreet and dirt also..
but it is sucks for gear of war, kane and lynch: dead man, crysis, and more..
i think for action game or racing game is ok..
for game that has a mouse point is sucks..u'll find mouse is even much faster and convenience to use..

I have one anyway, wired version..is not worth to get the wireless...
rm180~199, for 1 year warranty only..

Although it's microsoft products, I dun have much confident on it..
I have one microsoft keyboard, it is sucks.. and a older microsoft product, the sidewinder gamepad, right after 1 year the gamepad rosak liao..

this time I buy 360gamepad bcoz it looks nicer than the logitech one. the logitech one looks very china product..
chapree
Been using it since early 2006, way before I got a 360.
I choose it because of its superb ergonomics properties.
Served me well till now, nod.gif

Added on March 2, 2008, 5:52 pmAnd BioShock only support this controller rather than my Logitech Rumblepad 2...........
Damn................ mad.gif
drgadgets
I think get the wireless receiver plus xbox 360 controller better. Costs 70ringgit i think.

i have total control of the players using this controller thumbup.gif
SuicideCommando
lowyat the.. topfloor there the hypermarket selling for rm199.. almost got one wireless one(dun like lots of wires)..
mypetridish
i got it for $40 from amazon which includes the controller and the receiver dongle. the funny thing is, a standalone 360 controller was selling for $50, and the ddongle is selling for $20. amazon pricing can be a little off sometimes.

it works well with my setup. now i can use both my controllers on my 360 and my pc.
Lynixx
is it just plug and play?
or have to install driver?
mypetridish
ithat's a good question. i installed the driver and never ran it without one. so i cant really answer ur q
akachester
If only there was a Black Version to match my current PC. Oh well... smile.gif
Punish
do it fully support FIFA08...i mean can do skill and trick...?

GTG
S4PH
i guess most new controllers especially 360 will certainly support most pc games out there as u can c the controller settings in games like lost planet has a 360 controller in the settings menu.

just get the elite version controller and get a separate blue tooth dongle from Microsoft (must use theirs, not the normal dongle)

for vista u just have to plug and play since vista has the driver edi while for xp u need to install the driver first before u plug in the controller smile.gif
ch_tan
darn nice driver, using this for all my console port games and most games certified for windows, it will have native support even crysis, lol even got forcefeedback during cutscene...

for Winxp usage i plug in and run windows update,
it will download the latest driver minus the unnecessary interface it came with the driver.
grandhiz
any1 know where to get the wireless receiver for the wireless controller..

benn looking around but untill now unable to find?

juine

I bought mine at Gamer's Hideout, Cineleisure Mutiara Damansara nod.gif
You can buy online at Play-Asia which is cheaper, but always out of stock.

I don't know if anybody realized this, MS released a new driver a while ago. It support both the wired and wireless pad. Also, if you push the Xbox Guide button, an notification will come out like the one in console. nod.gif

matmoto5125

Bleed_X

dlwl
i got one lookalike...logitech chillstream..haha
mine also the middle button can't use. press but nothing come out.
but when play grid one part of the ring lights up...kinda cool for playing grid, the accelerate and brakes based on how hard the LT and RT buttons are pressed laugh.gif
maxburnz
im using it for gears of wars and kane and lynch.finish the game in 2days.per game i mean.easy control but the joystick kinda loose.i play nfs prostreet the car kinda easily lose control cause it can go side way juz by a lil bit tilting the joystick.not good? cry.gif

chillstream kinda cool?not bad for a controller aite?
dlwl
lol so fast u reply. the thing about chillstream that attracts me is the colours, not the cooling thing..haha. silver and black. IMHO it looks nicer than the microsoft xbox controller. the cooling is average, but kinda noisy
raynmay

dlwl
if not mistaken it's around rm129..my friend told me he saw at pc depot. i bought it for a much better price from a forumer here. brows.gif
