I'm thinking of getting a gamepad for play the odds emulator games (i.e. SNES) on the PC, and was wondering would this gamepad works perfectly with Windows 7 64-bit? Anyone using one of these on their PC?

ive been using one for a couple of years on win 7 64 bit and its worked fine, i use it in conjunction with a program called xpadder for the programs that dont recognise controllers

yes, but you need the wireless receiver as well. I'd stick with the wired controller.

Else, prefect for Win 7. Really good pads. Supported natively, so never needed to install drivers and such. A shoe-in for GLFW games.

you could always use a wired controller if you have one, used it when i played super mario on my laptop

but you have to download some sort of app/program to assign different buttons for differnet functions.

The product description says "Includes Receiver"...so I guess that would works on PC as well?

I do at the moment have a cheap £4 gamepad which I bought off the bay couple years back, but after not having used it for a while and using it again now give me a feeling of it being flimsy and hollow, so I thought it's time to treat myself to something better lol.

I brought a receiver and used my existing controllers. Works really well, some games support the xbox 360 controller of the bat.

Goody. Then it should be fine. You need the receiver, the cable is only used for charging the batteries

Ah I forgot to ask, but does the wireless controller required battery to use?

How about these

1 x Razer Onza Tournament Edition Professional Gaming Controller for Xbox 360 & PC £46.98
1 x Razer Onza Professional Gaming Controller for Xbox 360 & PC £39.98

they are both wired and work with PC and XBOX

nah, overpriced, they look different than normal ones but i bet you their functionality are the same.
id just get a cheap wired one for probably around £15.
