Bought this earlier on, well worth the price considering the receiver is included. How many controllers can link to it, 4 in total?

Just a quick caution about the wireless XB360 controllers... they are great but be really careful in the summer and in general not to let the receiver get too hot - I've had 2 break on me and both were during summer heatwaves when the room got very warm

It's a little fuse that goes. It also happened to mine. You can fix it by removing the old fuse and putting a blob of solder over the contacts.

Or you can replace the fuse, but it's tiny and has to be soldered into place. I originally did the solder fix as a temp measure, but it's been fine for 3 years :D.

Yep, 4 wireless controllers and 4 wireless headsets at the same time.

Cheers, handy to know that. I've saved the fix to my favorites. :)

Just bought myself an Antex 25W soldering iron for Christmas, might come in quite handy now. :D

I actually didn't know about the fix :p so I ended up trading in my wireless controllers (without the reciever) and buying some wired ones - don't think I even had to pay any difference. The added bonus was the original controllers were white and so I was glad to be able to get black ones instead :D

I sit in front of the PC, it's not like I am miles away from the screen, it's probally a waste of money me buying one of these.

I've already got a white controller, but would prefer a black one to match all my case, keyboard, mouse, and screen. :D

I wonder what input lag is like - wireless vs wired?
