...oh and make sure you buy the crossfire reciever if you already have a wireless pad, or buy both the pad and reciever together cause its cheaper. search for "360 wireless for windows"
I just bought one (the Xbox 360 Crossfire Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows). Works great with my normal wireless 360 pad. Even the wired headset works with it!
I did have trouble with it interfering with my internet connection, however it was fine after I changed the channel my router was broadcasting (seems this is a rare problem btw).
how easy is it to set the controller up with games nowadays. Do they have a specific wireless 360 pad setting or do you have to configure them in-game yourselves?
I wouldnt bother to be honest - it might be fine with GFW titles, but once you step out of those you will be wanting a split axis for the triggers, dead zone adjustments etc.
XBCD drivers exist for this but they do not work for wireless pads and its unlikely they ever will because they are so different internally. Forget trying a 'plug n charge' kit as it only charges the pad not send control messages down to act as a wired unit.
Hence why i got a 360 wired pad from OC'ers yesterday
