 Great controller but poor software support. March 30, 2008
I really love this controller. The spacing of the buttons and sticks feels just right for my hands. That being said, I would warn you that it is a battle in itself to get it to work with anything. Of all my games with native gamepad support, only Halo could get the controller to work right away. The recurring problem that I expierenced was that games would recognize the trigger axis and think that it is the right thumbstick. If you want the vibrate function to work, you will need either Xpadder or the XBCD driver; both are free, but frustrating to set up. I had a very difficult time getting XBCD to work on my Vista machine, but it works easily on XP. Microsoft should have thought ahead and released a profiler with their controller.
If I had known about all trouble it is to set up this controller, I still would get it because the gameplay experience is greatly expanded. Feeling the controller rumble while stomping a Sniffer in Silent Hill 4: The Room or feeling the character's heart beat faster and faster in Indigo Prophecy draws me into the game much more than with the keyboard and mouse.
This controller is great, and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a gamepad. You might have to go online for help, but it's worth it. If you are going to get a 360 controller, I recommend buying the regular one, not the one for Windows. It costs a few dollars less, and they are the exact same thing, the CD notwithstanding, and you can download the exact same drivers from Microsoft.com. Also, if you choose to use the XBCD drivers, you will not even use the drivers that come on the CD.
 Best controller Hands down March 10, 2008
This has got to be the best controller out on the market whether I'm playing a 360 or plugging into my computer the layout is perfect and would recommend it to anyone!

XBox 360 Wireless Controller February 16, 2008
Bought a XBox 360 CONTROLLER. Works fine however, the item description was not fully explained on the internet. Believe more description would be more appreciated.
A great controller with only one flaw January 29, 2008
I tested 3-4 other controllers before finally sticking with this one.
The Xbox 360 controller for the PC is basically an Xbox 360 controller with an adapter on the end of the cable so you can use it on a USB port on your PC.
The controller fits nicely in your hands (mine are small/medium hands). All of the buttons/controls are easy to reach and fairly well constructed. After about six months of moderate abuse, one of the trigger buttons on the front of the controller cracked at its pivot point. Of course, this was AFTER the paltry 90-day warranty from MS, so I had to look on a popular auction site to buy a used/broken controller to part-out to repair my otherwise good controller.
The included software doesn't allow you to set dead zones or sensitivity, but there is a freeware piece of software out on the Internet (DXTweak2) that will allow you to make minimal adjustments. I wish MS had put the time into releasing the software that came with its joysticks that would allow full adjustment and profile saves for each game. The included driver software does have the annoying habit of lighting up one of the four quadrants on the face of the controller to indicate which quarter of the screen you are controlling. This seems to be a holdover from the actual Xbox 360 and serves no purpose on the PC other than to annoy you in a dim/darkened room at night.
