hehe, if you find a wireless one, please let me know, would be awsome playing some css with a wireless pad sitting back and relaxed.

as for your question, on my previous rig (not on this temp one) i did have the drivers (not legit... if you know what i mean) to convert the usb cabled pads for the xbox 360 to pc use. was awsome! took me several weeks to track a working and non trojan infested packed driver, but it was worth it. ill try salvage the files from the HDD... although i doubt possible, but if i do, ill put em up on the web at a safe location.

apart from that... not sure to be honest hehe

I just downloaded the drivers from microsoft, worked fine

When you buy a 360 controller if you look on the packaging you will notice the windows icon stating that the pad is compatible. I tried a lot of gamepads and had problems for quite a while until I tried the 360 one and I have to say it was the best. I never had any problems with it.

cool, i just picked up the logitech cordless rumblepad 2 and been messing around with it now, very easy to setup just plugged it in and it worked straight out the box no need to even install any drivers. :eek:

thanks to the batteries the pad has a nice heaftly weight to it so it feels good to use.

only drawback is the D pad, it seems to be flimsy in its feel and motion. gave it the streetfighter test and all moves seem to come out easy, guess its something i have to get used to now and only time will solve.

for £12 quid though i doubt i would get a better wireless gamepad.

I wonder if PS3 gamepads will work with PC? I have one of the original ones with a PC adapter, and it's great, but I only really use it for Pro Evo.

360 pad > all pads, even the ps!

Just thought i'd update this, found a review of that USB dongle thingy that will let you use microsoft wireless 360 controllers with your PC

Holy thread necro :eek:

Just wondering if the xbox pads are still worth it, as I have a dualshock lying around but would need to buy a converter.
