Got a 360 controller

Post by StealMySoda »

I ordered a 360 controller for my PC with some spare amazon vouchers I had.
I thought it'd be good for Fifa and some driving games. But I've been using it for all sorts, like PsXe and SNESx. Been great fun.
I know they are only official supported for games that say 'games for windows' but really it just makes consoles obsolete.

Besides. I can actually play super mario world again with what feels like a real Snes controller (well close enough).

Anyone else use one?

Of course. I still use my mouse. I just use the controller when playing games. Probably wont be using it for FPS' tho.

<__ Uses a 5£ Piranha 'game controller' for any footie game on the pc. Amazing how uch difference it makes.

What extra features does the 360 one have ? Or is it just purely about looks + feel ?

I think it's more about the feeling.

I hate the mouse. I use my 360 controller whenever possible, worked wonders for my Bioshock game and made the whole experience alot more enjoyable.

I think the controller is great, I really like it. Much better than the controller for the first Xbox, it was frigging huge wtf.
I don't play any PC games that require a controller, but I saw it in the store a while ago and figured it'd be a must buy if I ever needed one.
