Official Xbox 360 Wired Controller Black (PC Compatible) reviews

An excellent product! I can use it for both my PC and Xbox360 and works like a charm for both of them! All software is included and makes it a product that is very desirable, infact a lot of PC games come with 360 controller support so I don't even have to tinker with the control settings in my PC games! A great product for a great price.

In short, it works perfectly for the PC. The Xbox 360(PC) controller I bought works well and is very ergonomic. It actually feels like your holding something which is solid, sturdy and feels like a quality product that is responsive.

Pros:

• Very comfortable controller so far
• Great layout for easy access
• Throttle controls at back of game pad
• 12 buttons (excluding xbox direct button)!
• Analog controls also function as buttons
• Solid / sturdy feel

Cons:

• Xbox Direct button has no function for PC.

Best controller I have used in years, very precise and accurate perfect for all types of games. Top notch quality.

I have owned many controllers throughout my lifetime, and many consoles, but this is still the pick of the bunch for me.

Controls are perfectly accurate, works a treat in all modern driving games on PC and most newer action/platformers as well. Though there won't be an adequate replacement for the keyboard/mouse combo for FPS or RTS games, this will do very nicely for most other game types.

Well worth it!

I bought this on conjunction with Test Drive Unlimited 2, and it really is at its element in racing games – the ability for incremental throttle control and gradual steering (as opposed to the all-or-nothing of the arrow keys) is a greatly welcome relief, and something I've been missing since my XBox was stolen. The triggers act as the throttle control, and the buttons just above are perfectly placed for gear changing. Not sure what other games it would shine with – perhaps FPS and flying sims – but I feel I've got more than its value already just with its sole-purpose usage.

I ordered this controller thinking I would be mostly using it for racing games, but I have since found a way to use it with everything. From MMOs to FPS games it's been great to use and I wonder how I was able to enjoy some of these games before it. My favorite thing has been to run a playstation one emulator and putting in some of my old games – serious nostalgia.

All in all, very happy with the purchase. Thanks MightyApe!

Faulty left stick analog as at the resting position the left stick analog is sensed as moving to the left. Otherwise I would have given a full 5 star as the weight and rest of the buttons are excellent. Pity you can't use it on PS3 without a third party adapter.

I purchased this for my Android tablet. As with all 1st party peripherals, the quality and ergonomics are generally better than most basic 3rd party products that only aim to match the basic controller. Tablets with Android v3.2/4.0 support USB controllers which is why I wanted this and it workes flawlessly. I have tested GTA 3 and ShadowGun with no issues and basically turns my tablet into a competent mid range games console replacement.

Good quality controller everything works the rumble is great as most PC controllers don't have that. Slightly over priced for what it is but I suppose if people buy it they can sell it for that.

Good quality controller, cheap price, super fast delivery, all good!

Works well with all my games. Really enjoying using this controller.

Last time I used an xbox controller was in 2008 and it was too big for my small-girly hands, but this one is good and a bit smaller. Works straight away when plugged in for windows 10, pretty much all I needed.

A fantastic controller for your xbox 360 or PC.

Perfect for those difficult simulation racing games, a lot easier! Perfect if you want to change from Xbox to PC!

The only concern i had was the thumbsticks,however they're snappy & have a reasonable amount of resistance unlike my wireless controllers which over time have lost theirs & become a bit less so.nup i'm more than happy with the wired controllers

The controller works very well cable is a good length works with pc and Xbox 360 so that's a plus so in all a very good product.

I wanted to use it for games on my Windows 10 PC and so far it's been doing exactly what I wanted it to.

Just load the software and you are good to go! Made GTA V way better for me

The controller has a great feel and is easy to game with and for such an appropriate price just amazing.

Much better response time compared to the wireless controller. Recommended highly for COD gamers

I love the ergonomics of the controller. Worth the money to buy instead of those el cheapo gamepads

Very fast delivery and the controller is PERFECT for both Xbox and PC.

Works great on PC, works better on Xbox and it doesnt require downloading anything to work. It comes with a cd to install pc software and thats it. After that just plug in and play. Has a long enough cord to play in Xbox. Cheaper than a wireless control too.

This is great for racing, sports and adventure games for PC. It is simple to use, plug it in, put the CD in and play. Very nice job Microsoft!

Got for my Alienware14 and is perfect, everything work percent =D

Great product, works fine on my Windows 8 Computer.

This controller is AWESOME! It's so much more convenient than owning a wireless controller and having to change the batteries all the time. And the PC compatibility is an absolute bonus. I use it to play almost all of my PC games as it works perfectly. Certainly worth picking up during a gaming sale if you need an extra controller.

I bought it for games like DiRT2+3, grid, and other racing games, so far I love it.

I have never been a fan of controllers for FPS gaming, but that may change in the future.

Just a xbox 360 controller with a cord, works great on pc. All you need to know

Unfortunately my house was robbed soon after I bought mine so I never did get to put ti through it's paces. However it comes with all you need to use it on your PC and does a great job for playing old school games on your computer (eg sega games.)

Works great juts have to get use to it now :P

I couldnt tell you how many times Ive used this. It comes in handy a lot more than you'd think, playing games like NFS, or Saints Row (or any other GTA kinda game) is what this baby was made for. A great addition to any PC gamers arsenal

Only downside is limited range or bumping over things on the coffee table but these are far better than having to constantly buy batteries.

Got this controller so I wouldn't need to use my charge an play kit the down side it they tend to brake easily the cable that connects to the Xbox control will brake with over use

This feels great and performs just as well. I bought for PC gaming and I feel that having all the controls right there makes a huge difference to my reactions. I've always been a bit of a console fan-boy, so I may be biased, but I do feel this makes gaming on the PC easier (except maybe with shooters because mouse is still pretty accurate). P.S. This works perfectly with Xbox 360 too.

There's no better controller to use with a PC. It's great how so many games are designed to work with this one, so very little setup or key binding is needed.

Pretty good for the pc. Does the job indeed

1. Cheaper then a wireless Xbox-only controller
2. Doesn't require batteries
3. Play FPS game and the like on your PC.
4. Most games I have come across on PC not only have the ability to automatically be played with a controller (Skyrim, Limbo, Braid and more …) but most games also include rumble function, which this controller has.
5. Still a good controller for Xbox!

This is by FAR the best gamepad for PC. This is a very quality product and I've dropped this on the floor like half a dozen times and absolutely no damage at all. Easy to use and extremely comfortable. It is wicked for gaming and would probably be the only gamepad you'll ever need. MUST HAVE for any PC gamers :)

It is great to have a variety. I can buy game for a PC and play it using mouse and keyboard or use this controller if that fits my play style better. Connect my PC to a 40 inch TV and enjoy computer graphics on a massive screen! Sit on the couch and enjoy!
