"Exactly what I was looking for"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This was perfect for what I was after, very simple installation and performs flawlessly! Well worth the $60 I paid. Great that it comes with the wireless receiver USB for PC while also being able to be used as a standard Xbox controller with the push of a button!

"Super quick follow thru and delivery"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Brilliant service. Placed the order in the afternoon and received first thing the next morning. Product exactly as advertised on the site. We were worried for just a moment when it turned up as all info with it related to use with a PC. Fortunately without any instruction it fired up straight away when pointed at XBox connected to TV.

"Very Good Buy"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Totally worth it. Works great on Xbox and PC. Also, since many recent games have a preset Xbox Controller option, I don't need to spend much time configuring controls.

"The standard Xbox controller at a below standard price"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

What can I say, it's a standard Xbox controller and does all the things that an Xbox controller should do. I have not used this with games on the PC, but it is nice having the option if needed.

"Perfect"
5 stars"

These controllers are excellent if you want to add more controllers to your Elite Console so that they match, or even if you dont have an Elite console you can have multiple different coloured controllers so everybody has their own. No more fighting over who dirtied up the controllers this way.

"It makes the guys on the screen move around"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

See we had an Xbox. But all the guys on the screen just stood still. We needed some way to move them around. And to make them fire their little pretend guns. Some sort of ‘controller’ if you will. So we bought this. Now they move. And their guns fire. We reckon thats pretty cool. Not as cool as free beer, but then what is- What is, indeed…

"Great XBox controller"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This works great. The only hiccup was in setting up the controller – there weren't enough instructions with the controller itself, we had to refer to the original XBox instructions. So don't expect a simple plug and play device.

"PC Perfect"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Ive used this product as a PC gaming controller on a few games now, and Ive got to say It works amazingly. If your at all hesitant because your not sure if its what your looking for, don't be afraid. The controller comes with the USB adapter and software installation CD, and its worked for me with no issues at all.

"Bought for PC, works great."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The Xbox controllers don't really need a review. Everyone knows they're amazing, the quality is great, they are really ergonomic and the PC adapter works without a problem. The only issue is that Steam needs more controller enabled games, haha.

"Great controller"

The standard black controller we all know and love.

Comes with the added bonus of a USB receiver and drivers so the controller can be used with your PC as well. Great bonus!

"Perfect control anywhere"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Makes it really easy to play those games on PC that you need more finer analog control instead of keyboard buttons like flight sims or driving games, and as a bonus can still connect to the Xbox360.

"Just what you need if you want an xbox controller on your PC"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I have been very happy with the controller, has all the same functionality as the standard controller as used by xbox. Came with batteries, and the PC USB wireless dongle (which can connect up to 4 controllers at once!). I have tried to connect a standard xbox controller but it didnt work, the controller is used on an xbox and so maybe there is some pairing issue, Im not sure.

All in all its what you should expect from the controller to work with a PC.

"PC Compatible? Pffft" Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you are computer savvy or have time to troll the net looking for instructions that should be provided you MAY be able to get this to work. Plug and play it certainly is not. The help file covers the quadrant lights and what colour they go when connection is lost. There is NOTHING about connecting, setting up, using or even turning off the controller! This is not even worth a star Microsoft

"Great controller but uses a lot of batteries"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Easy to connect, got it on special so was a great deal. Only downside I found was that it tended to chewed through batteries even when not on, would definitely suggest getting a charger pack. After that this controller is absolutely perfect.

"Perfect!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I was looking for a controller to use with my PC as using the keyboard for certain games can make for awkward hand positions so I snapped this up and I don't regret it one bit! The controller is very responsive and comfortable to hold, and makes some games a bunch more enjoyable to play. A lot of games are present for Xbox controllers so you can just pick it up and go, and it makes for a prime gaming experience if you have Steam and use the Big Picture mode while hooked up to your TV. If you're on the fence about the controller I definitely recommend you go for it, you won't regret it.

"It works..."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

… But games require explicit support for the pad. In saying that – there's other software to allow unsupported games to use it.

It's a shame that they don't sell just the wireless receiver in official channels.

"Regular Xbox 360 Controller, with PC adapter"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It's just a regular controller for an xbox 360, so not only can you use it for that purpose, but it comes bundled with a PC USB dongle, so you can connect it to your PC too, and because they're both genuine Microsoft products, they're quality made and are built to last. Very happy overall.

"**EXELLENT**"
5 stars"

I don't have an xbox but I use this on my gaming PC and it works brilliantly! It works on just about all of my games (even the ones steam says doesn't have controller support). I plug my pc into my tv and it turns into an xbox but still with all the abilities of a computer. I highly recommend this to anyone who plays the latest games on a computer.

5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I got this controller about a year ago, it always worked as expected, same hardware etc as the console version, was very happy with it until 1 year and 2 days out of warranty the receiver died!

Well I thought all was lost, but I contacted MA customer support, within 3 working days I had a surprise courier at my doorstep!

Yes they sent me a new fully functioning receiver, now 5 days out of warranty! Amazing service!! Thanks Nathan, and also the team in returns who had the spare receiver lying around, deeply appreciated!!

works great, auto mapping for supported games. though the controller doesnt work at all on the desktop, so you cant use online (websites like facebook trademe etc.) also a good idea to buy rechargeable batteries or a plug and play kit.

"Great Product"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Very solid and dependable controller, easy to set up and gives good battery life. The fact it works with PC and XBOX 360 is a bonus. It is not as easy to set up as the wired controller however, as some older games (such as AC and ACII) do not have profiles for the wireless controller and require a bit of tweaking to get right.

"Amazing. Must have gaming tool." Purchased on Mighty Ape

I found this an amazing add on for my gaming experience. I did need to use the CD that game with it to install the drivers as it wasn't a plug-in-play device.

You may need to download additional software to use it for games as not all games have the settings built in. Xpadder is what I use its around 15$ NZ

At first, I can't get it worked to my xbox360, so I have to search the net for solution. It took me 30 minutes to figure it out. I taught it will end up returning the product. Then, I tried one more time syncing the controller & console. Thank God it worked. I'm very happy with it, and it worked perfectly. =)

I got this controller at a fantastic price through Mighty Ape. I could not turn the offer up, so bought it as soon as I could click ‘add to trolley’. It works not only on an XBOX 360, but you can link it up to your PC with the given instructions, making it even more functional.

"Great Bargain!"

This controller is great, whether you want to use it with a PC or just need another one for wireless Xbox gaming! Easy to sync, as you would with any other wireless controllers.

"Does what it says on the box"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It wirelessly allows you to control games on your PC – not much more to say than that. The controller provided is a standard controller, so the adapter works with any wireless controllers, it seems.

My only complaint would be the D-Pad – being a disk shape instead of a plus, control is sloppy of exactly when the button press is registered. Microsoft already sell a revised controller with this complaint fixed, however.

"Good but make sure you get a play and charge kit"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Good controller, only gripe is that it goes through batteries quite quickly. A solution to this is to use a play and charge kit which is an additional ~$40 dollars which should last a couple of years before you need to replace the kit.
