So my brother has a 360, we play Halo Reach on it sometimes. I'd like to get a controller as his friend comes over often and we sometimes alternate between playing.

I'd like to get a controller that works for the 360 and PC. There's this one Saitek Cyborg Controller. I have the Playstation compatible version of it, because they didn't have any Xbox versions at Best Buy when I went there. But I'd rather have a wireless controller.

So, there's the option of the Xbox 360 for WIndows controllers. I have my eyes on this one. Now, I have a few questions about this.

Will this work on the Xbox 360 as well as the PC?
Will this work with Xbox peripherals such as this and this?
Will I need anything else to get it working correctly?



None.

I'm pretty sure that normal wired xbox 360 controllers work. You can get that for like 25 bucks. I like those better because then you can also plug in your mic and talk to people if you don't have a real PC mic. :O

I'd still prefer it to be wireless though. Anything that ever has a wire for me seems to get its cord ripped out. :\ Could I get some answers to those questions?

As far as I know, that is just a bundle of an Xbox 360 controller and the USB wireless receiver (which I'm fairly sure you can also buy separately for something like $20). You can probably use more than one Xbox 360 controller at once with that (maybe up to 4).

I believe I read somewhere that you can't use normal Xbox 360 controllers with the reciever. So I'm guessing as similar as they are, they're not the same.

The information on the page you linked to, along with the posts on there, seems to indicate that it is a normal Xbox 360 controller and that the receiver works with other Xbox 360 controllers.

Alright, well if that's the case, then I'm guessing most of what I'd like to know are answered.

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
