 Hardware great, software is blahAug 09, 2011
By Hans D. Behrends
The controller is the standard XBOX 360 wireless controller. The box contains a wireless controller hub. Supposedly, up to four controllers can be connected to a PC through this hub (though I presume not many games will let you use this feature). I have not tested connectivity for more than one controller at a time.
There are no apparent problems with this, on this Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium install. Plugged the hub into a USB port in the back, pressed the center button on the controller, and ready to go. Works great in Grand Theft Auto 4 (driving much much easier this way).
Can't wait to use this for DiRT3, yeah
The software is nothing special. In fact, beyond the standard joystick control panel, there is nothing else. You can test the functionality of the buttons, D-pad, analog sticks etc. And that's it. Would be cool if the software would allow programming of the buttons, or let you assign macros to the buttons like Intellitype for instance. Logitech does a much better job!
But I will not complain... the hardware is top notch and works great... and wirelessly.
If you already own an xbox 360, try to get only the wireless hub.

 Great controllerDec 03, 2011
By Elak Swindell
"Movie Addict"
If you want a wireless controller to use for your PC games, then this is a definite must have. I snagged one for use with "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" and it works great. Being that the game is already set up for use with the controller, it was immediately identified and all buttons linked to what they are meant to do. Only takes a few minutes to get the hang of the new set-up (find a quiet area away from people in the game to practice), but the controller is way better than using the keyboard and mouse. Even though the majority of the keyboard does not work when using the controller, gladly you can still use the tilde (~) key for acessing the command console and the "PrtScn" button is active for taking snapshots. The only minor negative note I have concerns not be able to fully use the keyboard when the controller is plugged in. It should work in conjunction with the keyboard instead of completely blocking most of its use. As for the unit itself, it is very comfortable to hold and use. All of the buttons are placed perfectly. Once you know which one does what, moving and fighting in the game is a snap. There are some extra plug-in ports on the controller that are not identified as to their use in the simple fold-out instruction manuel. One on the top below the word "XBOX 360" and another on the bottom between the hand holds that has three holes. Would be nice to know what these are for, but the instructions have nothing on them. All in all, this controller is well worth the price and works perfectly for PC games, especially newer titles.

Works excellently on Windows 7 Home Premium with SkyrimDec 16, 2011
By Steven
I have only used this to play Skyrim on Windows 7 Home Premium but it works flawlessly. Also, the cord for the USB adapter is surprisingly long (around 5-6 feet) allowing me to place the adapter on my desk (behind my monitor).

Great ControllerSep 19, 2011
By James
Controller came in original Microsoft packaging. This isn't one of the cheap knock offs, it's the read deal. The receiver works great with 4 controllers connected and makes emulators ten times as fun. One problem I found is that you must remove the battery from the controller to turn it off. Overall, a great buy.

Probably the best gamepad available for PC gamersSep 16, 2011
By Jeremy Thornhill
I have to hand it to Microsoft on this one - they've really nailed their gamepad design, and I commend their choice to make a product that's compatible with both Windows and the XBox 360.
Most PC games are designed to play better with a keyboard and a mouse, but some lazy console ports really work better with a controller. Fable III is what sent me over the edge - the mouse controls with that game were just so floaty that I couldn't take it anymore.
Console ports like Fable 3 and Batman: Arkham Asylum, which were designed to the Games for Windows Live (ugh) specifications, offer truly seemless integration with this controller. Once you perform the initial setup, there's no tinkering to be done with GFWL games: you just fire up your game, turn on the controller, and bam - it's just like playing on the XBox 360. Well, if the XBox 360's graphics were about 10 times better, anyway.
Range and battery life are, as far as I can tell, equivalent to using a wireless controller with the XBox 360. I'm running rechargeable batteries and I've still not even switched them out. The range is good enough to use the controller all the way across the room, in case you want to hook your PC up to a TV and fully replicate the "console experience."
My only gripe with this item is that you can no longer purchase the official wireless dongle separately, and the only way to get the dongle is in this bundle (unless you want to chance it with one of the unofficial knockoffs). Ah well - it's still a reasonable price for a product that makes console ports play as they're supposed to.
Side note - this thing does seem to work in Linux too, at least with modern kernels. There are some limitations (the power button doesn't work, the light flashes constantly) but it is detected as an input device.
