Don't know if this is the right place for this or not, but does anyone know if it is any good? I have a crappy one right now and just got NFS-MW. I like the feel of that controller, but is there one that is better? Thanks
 
I have the new Xbox 360 controlller - and it works GREAT in the emulators I use - like Kawaks
 
I haven't tried it on the PC myself but everything it has gotten great reviews in the few things I've read about it.
 
yeah the xbox controller for pc is hell great and i think its the best pc controller in ages... its also Compatible with Xbox 360 and PC

They don't have it working wirelessly yet. Supposedly, they'll be releasing a wireless adaptor for the PC sometime next year.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I first plugged in my wireless controller via the plug and charge kit.
 
yea for pc its probably the best one around.

and i think the pc version of the controller probably works wirelessly? its a separate product from what i saw on the shelf at frys😛
 
I downloaded the Microsoft DirectX SDK for December 2005:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta...-4f0a-b199-6a740d8f27bb&DisplayLang=en

There are a few utilities in the SDK that show what DirectX programers can do with the new "XInput". Apparently, game designers need to incorporate this Xinput into their games in order to support the XBOX 360 controller. With some of the silly test programs in the SDK, I was able to get the controller to rumble and the center X to light up according to what player the controller was. Also, you can plug a headset into the controller and Windows will recognize it. However, you'll need a game that will support this "XInput" DirectX stuff in order to use it. I don't think there are any games that support it now... but I'm sure Microsoft will be jamming it down the throats of designers who use DirectX for their games.
