I can't speak for the longevity of the product yet, as I've had it for two hours. I just played GTA IV for a few minutes, and controller seems to respond as accurately as my wired one was. A second later, you're registered as player 1. Turn on controller, hold down sync on that until the rings flash. Press sync button on receiver, LED flashed. Syncing the controller works just like on the Xbox console itself. This will let you press the guide button for battery information and which player you are.

Now, if you want to install the Xbox 360 Accessories 1.1, run setup.exe or setupstb.exe in the "Software" directory on the disk (or, I am sure it is listed on microsoft's website). Click Next, let it install, and you're good. Go down to "Microsoft" as the manufacturer, and choose Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows. "Browse currently installed drivers", "List all drivers". The easiest way to remedy this is to go into Device Manager, find the Unknown Device, right click and "Update Driver".

Windows will automatically try to install the drivers, which it can't find, so it will fail as an "Unknown Device". Once you plug in the device, the LED will light up indicating it is getting power. I had read about a workaround months ago though, so I knew what had to be done.

I didn't even use the disk, let me see - containing a users manual (PDF), DirectX 9.0c setup, Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories 1.1 (official Microsoft software), and an x86 driver - no 64 bit one! I've come to expect this from knockoff products, though. Inside the package is the receiver and a minidisk containing. On to the back - Xbox Live in top left corner, and contains tons of "engrish" as is to be expected by these Google Translated packages - See for yourself in the pictures below, but it contains words such as "futuer" (future), "gigathertz" (gigahertz), and "intgrated" (integrated). Cardboard states Xbox 360 compatible, Hi-Speed USB Certified, Compatible with Windows 7. Packaging is simple - bump-clasp plastic clamshell packaging, with a thin cardboard insert, the product, and a twist tie around the cable. As such, I got my item in 2 days ( USPS UPS, sorry) as opposed to 3 or 4 weeks.)īack to what this discussion is actually about: Oddly/conveniently, they also have a warehouse in New Jersey. (A small aside about (this review is NOT about the seller, but the item) - they ARE a China based seller, and as thus have the typical warehouse in Hong Kong. Which is really nice, considering I've been wanting to get back into PC gaming a little more than just Minecraft lately (just saw the video for iCEnhancer 2.0, a complete tex pack for GTA IV. Lucky for me, the guys over at felt like hooking me up with one of these. And then, I didn't know how well they worked. I've known of these knockoff ones for a few years now (ever since I discovered dealextreme), but I had no job at that point - so again, too expensive, even at $15-$20. but I hate that place, and they're still 50 or 60 dollars. Now they're just hard to find, I know Best Buy sells them. The official ones were always either expensive (I think they were $30 by themselves), or more expensive ($50 or $60 with the wireless controller). Naturally, I would want a wireless adapter for it. "Why is my controller stuck? Oh, my chair."

It tends to be a bit of an annoyance as you roll your chair over it a few times. When you're sitting two feet away from your computer, it makes little sense to have a 10 foot cable trailing along the floor, coiled up a few times. And wireless controllers just fit in right nicely in that equation.

My keyboard isn't (who moves a keyboard though(though I DO have a Bluetooth keyboard for my Android phone, compatible with my PC too since I have a BT receiver for it)). My gaming mouse is wireless (Cyborg RAT 9). And when those games natively support the Xbox 360 controller, it's a nice little extra touch to be able to get rumble (without having to go spoofing a controller as a 360 one).īut wires suck. This was years ago, and although I am much more computer-oriented as a gamer than I am towards consoles, some games just play better with a controller. My first ever controller for it was a wired one, because I wanted to be able to use it with my computer as well. I have an Xbox 360 (Well, technically, now I have 3, but that's besides the point).
