360 controller on PC?

MajorMaccas · 19 Sep 2009 at 22:46

After getting SF4 on PC vividly highlighted my lack of gamepad in bright luminous nuclear waste yellowy-green, I've decided on a 360 gamepad as my button basher of choice. I've played on mate's 360's and like the feel and button layout, and intend to buy a 360 at some point in the future, so an extra gamepad can't hurt.

Now, what do I need to connect it to my PC? Can I just get a gamepad and a "play and charge" kit which is USB, and play it with a cable? I saw the official USB wireless receiver, but since I won't be using it often, a cable will suit me fine, plus the play + charge would be used upon purchase of said 360.

Let me know if I've got it wrong, or if I need anything else

Cheers

So, 2 gamepad versions? wired and wireless?

Thanks for the responses guys, but I may have to scrap those plans for this:

OMG!! lol, And a skinned SF4 gamepad for xbox (not complete though, no analogue sticks, only D-pad and buttons)

May have to get one of these, since the xbox versions works with both xbox + pc

Just got mine today, £35ish inc. p&p, The Dpad isn't ideal for beat 'em ups, since it can function as an analogue stick too, and is 8-way not 4 way. The pad is very very light, making it feel cheap, and has no vibrate function. The art is nice, high quality, and the shape is easy on the hands, play for hours happily, and rubber flanks stop it sliding around. Could be better, but not bad.
