5 out of 5 stars Really good   December 5, 2006

This controller is great value for money, although it requires drivers once installed it works with just about everything.
I mostly use mine with emulators to play N64 and Snes games, and these work really well. A friend bought a different controller for only 2 less and the buttons doubled up with the d-pad and made it hard to play alot of games with. All the buttons on this controller work independently, are comfortable to press and feel well built.



5 out of 5 stars You wont be dissapointed!   December 23, 2005

Firstly, this controller does what it says it does. It works perfectly on my Windows XP, even though you will need to install the software that comes with the CD. My CD didnt work, but no worries - the manual referred to the Microsoft website in which I could download the software from.

This controller looks impeccable, although the green lights only appear momentarily when the PC turns on, so no flashy stuff when you're playing :D

Oh and if you're worried, it does work with the Xbox 360 aswell, this controller is a better purchase than the standard wired controller for the Xbox 360. So you get both worlds for the less the cost!


5 out of 5 stars Best Controller Ever   October 10, 2006

The xbox 360 controller is by far the most comfortable and effective controller ever created, the analogue sticks are perfect making it easy to control any game even fps games with a gamepad. The only thing that lets the conroller down are the drivers, which are very poor. I have stopped using the default microsoft drivers and now use 3rd party XBCD drivers (google it) which offer a lot more control.

The poor drivers let the pad down a bit but its still the best pad available for the pc.



5 out of 5 stars Correct Drivers   May 28, 2008

In order to get the most out of this you need the right drivers - if you google "XBCD 360" you get the correct drivers for this model (if you get just the standard xbcd drivers you can have a lot of problems).

The drivers eliminate the problems other people had (i.e. all buttons work independantly, both analogue sticks work separately, triggers can be set to analogue).

Glad I spent the extra cash to get something of decent quality, would recommend to anyone looking for a decent controller.



5 out of 5 stars The only controller to buy   July 28, 2008

The truth is that I was never too big on controllers, but having got a hold of GRID and Lego Indiana Jones, I decided that needed one.

This is THE controller, if you don't already have one, or are not looking for a specialist type, I highly recommend this one!

Pro's: Great design, comfortable in the hands, new games come with in built compatibility (no need to set the keys), great for football, action, platform and driving games, very responsive, same standard as an Xbox 360 controller. No need for batteries, drivers install in a minute. Can be used as a second controller if you have an Xbox 360, the wire means that you don't accidentally turn on the Xbox when you use it.

Con's: It wasn't available a few years ago.

Tested on: Race Driver Grid, Lego Indiana Jones, Devil May Cry 4, Pro Evolution Soccer 4

Overall: Excellent, if you want a controller, this is it.
