hi RB scene , i am looking to buy some XBOX 360 Wired Controllers and have stumbled on EBgames Australia selling them.

the product name is ' Microsoft 360 Controller For PC '

What i want to confirm is that it will work on my 360 , it says in the description it works with PC and 360 but prefer a confirm from users.

I can't answer yr question definitively, but I can confirm that I have a wired Xbox 360 controller that works fine on my PC. I don't remember what the packaging said or what the official name of my controller is...

howdy AntonBD , the description on EB's site is as below........

The controller is a Official Microsoft product btw.......



For PC and Xbox 360 Works across Microsoft's gaming platforms. Xbox 360 Controller for Windows works with most Windows XP-based PCs and Xbox 360, delivering a consistent and universal gaming experience

I have a Gamestop brand Xbox 360 controller and I can vouch that it does work on PC.

That's not what he is asking, swift. Yes a 'PC' Microsoft 360 controller will work on the 360 since it's just a normal wired 360 controller, it just comes with a driver disc. Wired 360 controllers work on the PC as well.

Is the driver disc actually needed?

For XP, yes it was needed for those without interwebnt connections. Nowadays, the controllers are pretty much plug and play.

Thanks.

If you get a receiver the wireless ones will work on PC as well. I've only seen knockoff receivers these days, but mine works ok. Though it was annoying until I had one controller synced to my PC and one synced to my 360 with having to resync and hot have it turn on my 360.

I read here that it will work fine so i got mum to go to 2 EBgames shops and she picked up 5 controllers ( they were on special as well from $50 to $38 )


I have tested 1 controller on my Astro and it works great ! , i would like to get 2 more in the future though to total 8 ( i already have 1 wired cont )


thanks again to all for your efforts and info
