Does this pad work on pc, i can live with having it plugged in with the charging cable or whatever it is?
Just cant be bothered buying a gamepad for weekend for some proevo6 on pc action with my bro, rather borrow a mates 360pad, but he only has wireless ones :(

Is that a fact?

Because I've been using the wireless pad for months, and it has no impact on my transfer rates or anything like that.
 
must depend on the routers coz when my mate used his 360 pad his internet stoped due
to them usein the same frequency

It wasn't a 360 pad it was a third party wireless xbox pad which when on seemed to block out my wireless signal but only did it a few times sometimes there was no problem. Thing is unless I have my wireless set to channel 11 it wont work (drops signal all the time) so I can't change the channel on my router.

Anyway the reciever should cost you around £15, at least thats the case where I've seen them though I can't say where.
 
The little wireless receiver is awesome. Although you cannot keep the pad paired with the Xbox at the same time, it doesn't take much to re-pair them when you need them... Plus the receiver works with the very nice xbox 360 wireless wheel by MS, although I haven't worked out whether Forcefeedback has been enabled yet.
 
best ten pounds I spent the other day. works great with the wireless pad and headset. I use the headset all the time now for skype and ingame chatting.
don't get any problems with interference from wireless internet, keyboard and mouse.
 
scooby where did you get yours from? its gunna have to be from a shop for me, and they are £15 from 'worlds carpest and most evil purple retailer', its only a tenner more for the wired pad..(and only 3 pound more off a certain orange etailer)

Come on man you've been here long enough to know!
 
i give that a second thought when i wrote it, they're hardly a competitor :D
More of a last ditch effort.. hah.
 
AS there are no competitor links I cant say.. but just 'google' and youll find it at a decent price.
Got mine from a online retailer

point was i cant wait for a online retailer as i need it for tommorow really :)
Going to get it from a popular purple retailer, no not games specialist one, another one :) can be had for around a tenner with student discount as iv been informed(thank you :))
Then im going to order myself a wired pad from an orange etailer, which will only mean i end up spending about the price of a wired pad from any normal shop, with the added bonus that my mates can bring their wireless pads round and join in the fun in future :)

You might as well just spend that little extra and buy a wireless pad.....
So much nicer to be able to just pick up and drop when ever you want without having to tidy a 6ft cable all the time..

You be able to leave the wireless controller just about anywhere without it looking a mess...
I just throw mine under my monitor
