xbox 360 controller for the computer

[Todd33]

I got the PC/360 one for X-mas, but I have not opened it. I wish I could make it wireless, I sit pretty far from my HTPC. Why do they sell two wired 360 controllers, one marked PC? How can they be different?

Although it's an awesome controller, the driver for XP blows. Hard. Biggest complaint? Can't adjust deadzone - for exampling in NFS:MW while it may seem like it's working, eventually you'll start to wonder why you are always slowly drifing to the left/right.....

Yea I ended up getting one of these from Christmas too. Like it so far. Way better than that other POS I had.

erm... they're not different, you can use a normal 360 wired controller on your PC as long as you install the drivers

I find it funny here that in Singapore the Xbox 360 controller is released before the console.

They had controllers, other accessories, and games out in the states before the console was released.

There's no physical difference, the PC version comes with a driver CD which you don't need. MS are supposed to be looking at making a wireless version for PC.
