Gamepad

Looking for a pc game pad to play games more suited to game pads etc.

Is the microsoft 360 wireless or wired controller any good?
Or any suggestions and reasons for a specific controller, thanks!

I went for the wired, feels much lighter and less bulky without the battery and the cable length is plentiful.

Is it exactly the same as the normal 360 controller?
We have a wireless one downstairs but its not mine

Does overclockers sell the receiver you can get for wireless? I asume it works on normal 360 controllers yes?
Is the wireless version of this controller http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GC-002-MS&groupid=702&catid=288&subcat=
Basically just a normal xbox controller but with the receiver for PC's?

Exactly the same controller, works brilliantly!

Can't buy receiver separately. But wireless 360 pads on OcUk have a receiver. I use mine for GTA, FIFA, and a few other games.

You can use an official wired 360 MS pad though. I think I will go for that next time. Would Save me having to charge up so often.
