Xbox 360 controller good?

Hey, how does the 360 controller work on PC games? Do most games work with it? Can I just buy a regular 360 controller or do I need a special one specificaly for Windows? Thanks

Works fine,just your normal xbox360 controller,although 95% of the time i dont use mine....

Its the best gamepad for pc imo. Almost every newer game instantly recognizes it.

WHY?!?!!? WHY would you watn to use a noobstick, i dont understandDr_Brocoli

The pad is great except for the D-Pad so if you plan on using the D-Pad i would get another controller.

Best PC controller out there. If you get the wireless one though, it's not readily compatible with as many old games as the wired controller.

For racing games, fighting games, sports games, platformers, and third person action games.

Yeah, works best with Mirros's Edge, and GTA IV.

third person action games? are you having a giraffe?

No, Xbox 360 controller bad.

Not at all.

Not all of them, but most of them. GTA and Tomb Raider play much better with a gamepad than with keyboard & mouse.

The chief reason I love my 360 controller is that sometimes I can glide through the game.

With my keyboard there are usually only two movement speeds: you're either walking or running. With the 360 controller on the other hand you can slow your movement down or speed it up, and there's a whole spectrum of movement speeds in between.

In Fallout 3, for example, I'll creep very slowly around corners, almost at a crawl - it's great. I tried playing Fallout 3 with the keyboard but it just felt... wrong.

*sigh*

ok then, whatever you say

I have two Xbox 360 wired controllers only because I have an Xbox. I only tried using the controller for Flight Simulator X and it worked pretty well.

Truth is I've never really done PC games in the past since 2000. Controllers just feel better in my hands.

Never used a x360 controller, but I find them kinda overpriced, especially since I rarely use a controller. For less than 20$, you can get one from another brand that will do the same work than a x360 controllers. Personally, I bought a Saytek for 3$ during a ncix sale (ok it was refurbished, but still good :D)

Its the best and most comfortable controller to use on the PC!!

I play it with Tomb Raider Underworld, FIFA 09, PES 2009 and Alone in the Dark. Its great and also supports vibration which you can turn on and off from the options settings in the game.

It works good on PC. I use my ps3 controller and that works good too but its a chore getting it to work. I wouldn't use a controller unless you're playing something like lego starwars or an adventure game like that.

Try playing Dead Space with a mouse and keyboard...go on...try it.

I own one, it works pretty good on most games... although when the time goes by you'll ask yourself "Why the hell did i bought this thing?"
