The reference standard for PC controllers
Style: Wireless Controller
The unavoidable reality of the PC gaming scene these days is that many games are straight up console ports. Without criticizing the situation too much, some games won't even bother to change the control icons to reflect the keyboard & mouse bindings while others are just simply more intuitive with a controller setup. The controller needs 2 AA batteries to run and I've tested it with both 1.5V alkaline batteries and 1.2V rechargeable NiMH batteries; both instances ran without much issue. I could not find a dedicated on/off switch for the controller; a long press of the guide button will power it on for connection with the receiver, while I could only turn it off selectively by detaching the battery compartment. The controller will also power off if left inactive after some time; another long press of the guide button will reactivate the controller for pairing. The included USB receiver is attached to a reasonably long cable that easily reaches to the back of a desktop tower. The wireless range of the receiver is also excellent; couch-distance gaming is definitely not problem if you are running a HTPC setup. Installation of the controller is also relatively painless, being mostly `plug-and-play'. The driver can be found online if the `plug-and-play' installation fails for whatever reason. The receiver is said to be able to connect 4 controllers, but I've only verified it with 2 simultaneous connections thus far. By this point, the 360 controller layout can reasonably be said to be the industry standard and it's reasonably ergonomic. For this very reason, this Microsoft Xbox 360 controller for PC is your best bet for highest compatibility. If a PC game supports controllers, this one would very likely be the first on the list. Do check with the game developer if in doubt. Overall, it's the industry standard, it's supported by Microsoft and it's reasonably easy to use. If you're in the market for a game controller for the PC, this one definitely belongs near the top of any consideration list. ... show more

Glad I finally got this
Style: Wireless Controller
I used to game exclusively on PC's - I'd scoff at people and their game consoles, and could never understand how they could possibly live and game with such few button options. Then Halo came out, and I had to buy the original Xbox. Since then I've gotten four Xbox 360's around the house, a PS3, a Wii, and a Wii U. And I stopped gaming on the computer completely since the original Xbox and Halo came out... Of all the game controllers for all the systems, nothing felt as good as the Xbox 360 controllers. For me, they were the top of the line, period. And for my 9 year old, the thumb sticks are placed perfectly, unlike the OEM PS3 controllers that are offset too far in the middle. I got hooked on Elder Scrolls as well on the Xbox, and played Skyrim, but was getting tired of hearing people talking about the mods and such they were doing on their PC's since I couldn't do that on the Xbox. And when I upgraded my Media Center PC from a Mac Mini running Windows in boot camp to a new Alienware X51 with the Nvidia 660 card in it, I figured it was time to see just how much better Skyrim would look on my 55" LCD TV in ultra high detail mode with the PC - and then I could mod things to my heart's content. So I grabbed this on sale from Amazon, plugged it in, ran the installer, and fired up skyrim. For the first time, I was playing a game on the PC without having to do *ANY* configuration for the controller. No picking what joystick, etc. All buttons just worked, exactly as I was used to on the Xbox. I then got Borderlands 2 on a gold box deal, and again it just worked. Flawlessly. I love that I can now use the same controller I prefer when I decide to get something for the PC instead of the Xbox. That was one factor in my not gaming on the PC, the logitech game controller I had just didn't feel as good as the Xbox 360 one did. Now that's no longer a concern. If you like to game on the PC, and you like the Xbox 360 controller, this is a no brainer. ... show more

Best gamepad I've used on a PC
Style: Wireless Controller
I've went through a number of gamepads over the years, dating back to when they connected to the PC via an analogue gameport. I've had pads from the likes of Thrustmaster, Saitek and a few others, most recently using a PS2 controller via a USB Adapter, which was far from ideal. Over time, the layout of the Xbox 360 controller has become something of a standard for PC games that use a joypad. Many games already include mappings for the controller, and Steam's big picture mode more or less assumes that you're using one. I was looking for a new controller, so with all this in mind I decided to go for the wireless version of the gamepad for windows. The last time I used an Xbox controller was on the original Xbox with one of the original humongous controllers. I don't have the smallest hands in the world, but that thing made them ache after an hour or so. Not so here; the controller is a nice size, the analogue sticks are positioned well in range of my thumbs, and the overall balance of the gamepad feels good. It also doesn't resort to any of that nasty grippy rubber paint that was all the rage not that long ago. That stuff doesn't last in a tropical climate, tuning into a sticky, messy goop that then has to be removed. As others have mentioned, the Windows version of the pad uses AA batteries. Myself, I see this as a bonus. Instead of relying on a LiPo pack that may or may not survive more than a year's worth of use (I've heard really bad things about the kit that adds a Lithium battery to the controller) NiMh rechargeable AA's tend to be quite robust, and they're dirt cheap. If they were ever to die, replacements these days are about $1.50 apiece. Ever since low self-discharge cells became the norm, having them go flat by themselves is no longer an issue. Thank you Sanyo for your Eneloops and Amazon for your Amazon Basics AA's; I have a pile of both types at home. The integration of the gamepad into Steam's big picture interface is impressive. Having it mapped to the Xbox 360 controller layout was a smart move on Valve's part as they were able to concentrate on the on-screen prompts being consistent, etc. It makes me wonder how SteamOS will be once it launches. Software-wise, the gamepad ships with next to nothing. A driver CD is supplied, which installs drivers and little else. This is the source of the controller's greatest failing; unless you're playing a Games for Windows Live game (hereby referred to as GfWL), there is no way supplied to turn the controller off once you're done. It supposedly turns itself off after a short period of inactivity, but I've heard that can be unreliable (I'm testing this at the moment, and it's yet to turn itself off since I started writing this review). Many resort to disconnecting the batteries once they're done to turn the controller off, which is a workable (if clunky) solution. If this were what we were stuck with, I'd have docked a star, perhaps 2 for this alone. It doesn't detract from the gamepad while in use, but it's an annoyance that seems doubly odd given a mechanism exists to explicitly turn the gamepad off from software, but that software isn't provided with the gamepad to cover all eventualities. Only the abomination that is GfWL gets that level of control. Thankfully, the community at large had a bit of a poke about, and the "Xbox360 Controller Manager" was born. This is a little tool that sits quietly in your system tray and responds to a long press of the guide button (the silver button in the middle) with a prompt to turn that controller off. The tool itself takes single-digits of MB of memory, which is background noise in this day and age. For those of you that haven't already discovered this essential little piece of software, you can get it here: http://pety.me/XboxExt/ Save it wherever, add a shortcut in your "Startup" start menu folder, and then forget about it. Using it will become second nature, and you'll forget that it's a 3rd-party application. Honestly, this utility removes the one problem I had with the gamepad, and does it so effectively that I can't help but wonder why Microsoft didn't ship it with something similar. Overall, I highly recommend this. The biggest niggle I had with it was solved by its users, and if you're looking for a wireless controller for Windows, there really isn't any reason not to get one. P.S. I'm done with this review, and the controller still hasn't turned itself off. Thankfully, there's an app for that... ... show more

One silly flaw in an otherwise great controller
Style: Wireless Controller
This package is an XBox 360 controller with a wireless USB adapter that transmits a signal so you can play wirelessly. In other words, while it comes with an XBox 360 controller, you can also use any other XBox 360 controller as well. Using the simple setup poster and included software CD, you install the software, connect the USB adapter, and you're ready to play. The good news is, the adapter for this Wireless Controller will not only let you connect up to FOUR XBox 360 controllers at the same time, it will also let you connect other devices, such as XBox wireless headsets. The bad news is, there is one fundamental flaw that seems to have been completely ignored by the people who developed the software to support the XBox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows: You can't easily turn it off. On an XBox, you press and hold the controller's center button. The software launches a menu and one option you can choose is "Turn off Controller." The documentation and the software's help files say nothing about turning off the controller. Digging through forums uncovers that you can either set the controller down for 20 minutes and wait for it to turn itself off, or most people disconnect the battery pack every time they want to turn it off (which will eventually loosen it). The center button does nothing if you're not in a game (and if you are, it doesn't give you a "turn off controller" option). You can't "eject" the controller in Windows, and if you disconnect the USB adapter or turn off your PC while the controller is still on, the controller will continue to look for a connection until the battery runs down. There is one sure-fire way that works: you have to be playing a Games for Windows Live game, logged into your Games for Windows Live account, and when you're ready to quit, press and hold the center button for 4 seconds. You will get a menu that will ask, "Do you want to turn off the wireless controller?" Choose Yes, and you can continue exiting the game using the keyboard and mouse. UPDATE: Amazon customer "Kitten" posts in the comments below that there is a system tray utility that will allow you to turn off the controller if you forget to do the steps above. I haven't tested it yet but when I do I will come back here and update my review accordingly--her link is in the comments. That said, there is a reason I bought this controller, and that reason is that I really have come to enjoy the XBox 360 Controller. I've also had some very annoying compatibility failures over the years with PCs and "game pad" controllers. The XBox 360 controller--wired or wireless--has been the best. It's literally plug and play and thus far I haven't had any button problems, or had the sticks fall out of calibration like some other controllers do. If you love PC gaming, but you need to use a console-style controller for some of your games, this is your best bet. You can go with a wired controller and save yourself the power-down headaches, but if you really want wireless in Windows, the XBox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows is the best. Maybe one day they'll finish the software--I strongly suggest they put a tray icon in with a menu to manually handle this. ... show more

I was hesitant, but the controller is great
Style: Wireless Controller
I was pretty hesitant on getting this controller. I'm NOT a Microsoft or Xbox fan so this was actually my third choice for a PC controller. First I had a wired Logitech controller which worked great but had minor issues... And was wired. Then I set up my PS3 controller to work with my PC. It had some technical issues but overall worked pretty good. I decided to stop however since I had to resync it to the ps3/PC when I went back and forth. But I can honestly say that I am happy I went with this wireless controller. Pros: -easy to setup and use. Basically just plug it in and push the center button when you want to turn it on. -great response and most games nowadays are designed to have a controller option. I've played 5-6 games on Steam with it and they've all worked fine. -I've only been about 5-7 feet away, but I've had no connectivity issues at all. That includes changing positions and going back and forth with the m/kb. -battery life appears to be pretty good. I've used it for probably 10-15 hours and the double A batteries that came with it still say they're full. Cons: -the left stick appears to get "stuck" on occasion and the character will sort of just drift to the left. It fixes itself as soon as I move the stick again but it is noticeable and has happened in every game I've played. Unsure if this is the controller or some sort of software issue. It's not too frequent so it doesn't bother me too much. -kind of an uncomfortable controller. Anyone who plays xbox won't have an issue but I've been using a Playstation for years so it's kind of awkward for me. Also, using the dpad just feels unnatural. Menu navigation or for action buttons it's fine, but using it as the primary directional keys in a 2D game is just weird. Doesn't feel right to me at all. -no way to program the buttons for third party usage. For example, the Logitech one I have included a program to basically allow you to map whatever keys you want to the controller. This made it possible to use it with emulators or other games that don't support controllers. No such luck here. Not surprising, this is part of the reason why I don't like Microsoft. Overall 5/5, all things considered. Definitely recommend to any PC gamer. I've been playing Dark Souls and Titanfall with it and can't imagine going back to another controller or m/kb. ... show more

Buyer Beware!
Style: Wireless Controller
First, I would like to mention that the "1 star" rating here, is for what I recieved, and not for the quality of the original xbox 360 wireless controller. So I have no real issues with microsoft xbox and the functionality, quality and ruggedness of their controllers. Now, I don't usually write reviews very often, but I thought I should this time, as I don't like being misled, and hope to warn others of this same possibility. The controller I purchased here was the "Microsoft Wireless Xbox 360 Controller" in "New condition" at about $80.00. Which is about right for a new one. I know you can buy "Used - good condition" ones too, for under $40.00 or whatever, but I wanted a new one. So, even though I have an Xbox One, as well as an Xbox One S, I wanted to get this brand new original replacement controller for the 10 year old 360 I still fire up and play from time to time, as my controllers for it (which I have two) are both a bit worn. Mostly, it is the rubber on the two sticks that can get a bit "gummy" after years and years of use, and this has happend to one of my 360 controllers, so I figured to get this new one. With that all being said, what I "recieved" was (in fact) an original Microsoft Wireless Xbox 360 Controller, just like my 2 others. But that is where the "positives" end however! I KNEW the very instant when the UPS guy handed me the package that I got "misled" (to use kind words). I could actually hold the controller in my hands, feel the stick movements, just like you do as your playing, right though the plastic shipping envelope it came in! Without even taking it out! NOT a good thing! New? I think not! Everyone knows that "New" should mean boxed and sealed by Microsoft. Unless you're from an alternative Universe living outside of any reality here on our Planet. Anyway, you can review my pictures regarding this. So it came in that plastic shipping envelope. Inside the envelope was a very cheap clear plastic ziploc type baggie, which ALSO looked very worn and used, perhaps over and over, for years! It had a barcode sticker on it, describing the item, and it even states "New" on the sticker. Lol. Yeah, okay. Inside this worn cheap ziploc type baggie was the controller, which was even MORE used and worn than my 10 year old ones! Seriously? Mine don't even look as bad as this did! You can see my pictures of this Controller that they claimed as "New" and decide for yourself. Now, I do admit that I like clean new looking things, maybe I'm a neat freak, but regardless, if you are looking at this like I was, for a brand new original 360 controller, just beware that it has the very real possibility of it NOT being what you are expecting, that's all. Thankfully, returning it was super easy. Anyhow, I hope this review may be helpful to somebody. ... show more

Buyers Beware, lack of product quality control
Style: Wireless Controller
I want to start out by stating that this review is for the genuine Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller shipped and sold by Amazon.com. I recently finished building a new gaming rig, and since I use my Xbox 360 and Xbox One the most out of all my gaming consoles I decided it would be best for me to stick with an Xbox controller for my PC. I currently own several Xbox One controllers, but in my opinion the Xbox One controllers just aren't as sturdy as the 360 controllers. To my dismay, I quickly realized that using a 360 controller on the PC wasn't as simple as the Xbox One controller which comes with a plug and play option for Windows. Since I wouldn't be able to use any of my existing 360 controllers, I decided to look into my available options. I am a person that prefers genuine products over generic counterparts, so I was left with either purchasing a wired 360 controller or purchasing the regular wireless Xbox 360 controller that comes with a USB wireless receiver. I decided to go with the wireless option since during the time of my purchase it was only $8 more than the wired version, which I am more than willing to pay for the convenience factor it comes with. As much as I like the Xbox 360 controller, I am very disappointed with the declining quality control over at Microsoft. Perhaps I have just gotten unlucky a few times, but I think it's beyond unacceptable for a company to be shipping out products labeled as new that arrive damaged. In the case of my Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows purchase, the controller came with several deep cuts on the front of the controller. If I had to describe the damage, I would say it looks like someone took a power saw and made a few precision cuts on it. Neither the actual product packaging nor the Amazon box it was shipped in had any kind of damage, which clearly indicates that the damage occurred prior to the product being packaged. Seeing how the product packaging features a large clear plastic surface in the front that acts as a showcase window for the controller, it's obvious that there is a quality control issue at the manufacturing plant if products are able to depart the facility in such a condition, as the damage can be easily seen without ever having to open the packaging. It appears that the damage on my controller is only superficial, but when you are purchasing a product labeled as "brand new", you don't exactly expect it to arrive with any sort of damage period. The Xbox 360 controllers themselves are pretty amazing, I prefer their shape and overall quality (assuming they come without any damage) over all my other controllers. So I do recommend the controller, but keep in mind that if you order this product, you may end up receiving a damaged one. Another thing to mention is that a lot of people have complained about the actual USB receiver breaking after a few weeks of use, so if you don't want to risk getting a product that may come with manufacture defects or that may stop working, I recommend you go with the Xbox One controller instead. If you do end up getting this controller and the USB receiver stops working, I recommend you contact Microsoft to see if they have replacements available (They may need to verify the serial number on your device, replacements are only free of charge as long as the warranty is still valid). It appears that the software has still not been updated to support Windows 8/8.1, so keep that in mind if that's the OS you are currently using. If it wasn't for the lack of quality control over at Microsoft and the issues with the USB receiver and its software, I would have probably given this product a 5 star rating. Granted, the people who receive a damaged product may be in the minority, but after reading a bunch of reviews it seems that there are multiple people citing the exact same issue in their reviews. And as much as I prefer the Xbox over my other consoles, I have never had my other consoles or console accessories arrive with any kind of damage. Whereas this now makes the 5th time since the release of the Xbox One that I have received a brand new Xbox product that came with damage that clearly occurred in the manufacturing plant. Short summary: I will gladly recommend the controller, assuming that it doesn't come with any superficial manufacture defects, however, with the lack of Windows 8 software support and the short lifespan of the USB receiver I am not sure if I could recommend this specific package. It may be safer purchasing either the Xbox One controller or the Wired Xbox 360 controller as you won't have to worry about a receiver breaking which would render your ability to connect to your PC. But in the case you do decide to go with the wireless controller for windows and receive a damaged one (which you will be able to see without having to open the actual product packaging), I am sure that Amazon will be more than willing to fix the order assuming the item is shipped and sold / fulfilled by Amazon. ... show more

Great controller.
Style: Wireless Controller
I just received my wireless Xbox 360 controller. It came with the wireless receiver. I purchased from Amazon directly and not through a third party. I installed it on both my gaming PC and on my Fire TV 4K. Did not have to install drivers or anything. It saw the controller and let me use it about 10 seconds later on both systems. I was able to get Nvidia gamestream working through moonlight-stream on my Fire TV. Steam saw I was using a 360 controller and adjusted properly in big picture mode. Pros: 1. Wireless range is really good. No matter where I at sat in my living, it did not drop once. 2. It did come with 2 Duracell AA batteries which was nice. 3. One my Windows 10 PC, the controller did turn off automatically. 4. Same great controller with no deadzones or any buttons sticking. 5. Controller works great with games on Amazon. Cons 1. Controller does not turn off when hooked up to my FireTV. Have to pop the battery pack out. 2. The 4 lights stay on flashing regardless if I am on my PC or on the FireTV. Other than that, this controller has been great so far. Time will tell but so far I am enjoying being able to play games in my living room without having to hold my wireless keyboard and mouse. The issues I have are probably issues related to the programming of the FireTV. ... show more
