Spec me up a couple of wireless controllers

lego · 10 Dec 2009 at 17:05

Since selling up the wii, my housemate and i are in desperate need of some old school gaming. Since this is quite easy on the pc, i've sent a cable downstairs to the tv along with a usb and some sound.

Looking for something along the lines of the PS2/3 or 360. Would like them to be wireless. May also be used for more modern games for the pc such as fifa ect

Thanks

Best options really I'd say is the wireless 360 pad, but you'd need to buy the adapter... or a PS3 pad but you'd need a Bluetooth adapter and have to be content with 3rd party drivers which are unsigned. 360 pad is probably your best option.

2x xbox 360 wireless controllers for windows pc?

Easiest way would probably be the 360 PC wireless receiver & controllers, even more so if you already own a few 360 controllers.

I got a 360 wirless controller for the PC the other day which was a 360 pad bundled with the receiver

IIRC one receiver will work with up to 4 controllers.

This

And you can race to see who gets Player 1

The 360 pad is the best controller bar none IMO

I must admit i'm starting to like the 360 pad, but it is too small for me really so some fingers get tired after a while

Has been on and off for a while. The price has gone crazy high too.

I too have started to like the 360 pad. It is great that there is finally one fully supported gamepad out there for the PC. There are some games I just cant imagine without it...especially since I started getting RSI using the mouse.
