Reddit reviews Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows with Windows Wireless Receiver

For the 360 controller you need a certain kind :

For the ps3 controller you need unofficial firmware and to have it emulate a 360 controller, of which there are many guides on the internet.

360 is supported but you need a special type, PS3 is cheaper if you already have one but a little more finicky.

:D

No you're not an idiot. We all make mistakes like that. ;)

I have one of these:

Wireless but it came with a wireless receiver. You can buy the receivers separately. As long as you get this one (made by Microsoft) you should be able to use your existing X-Box controller with your PC without problems. ;)

As someone who has played on both Controller and K/M and mostly plays games on K/M, I have to say that for BotW a controller feels nicer to me.

If anyone was wondering I personally use a wireless Xbox 360 Controller and Receiver.

I would probably suggest an Xbox One controller though, considering the battery life on 360 Controllers is eight hours on 2800mAh rechargables. This means I have to cycle using four rechargeables, two on charge two in controller to avoid the expense of disposables.


That said, if it's cheaper for you to buy a 360 controller, receiver and rechargables, or you don't mind wired, do that instead, there's very little advantage otherwise.

That doesn't sound right... here's the official Xbox 360 one for around 50$

But anyway yeah the Xbox One one + Windows adapter also works if you have Win 10 (and slightly cheaper)

Thanks for checking.

I'm using a wireless XBox 360 controller.

You can pair up to 4 controllers with your PC using: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Authentic-Wireless-Receiver-Windows/dp/B00FAS1WDG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1523231153&sr=8-5&keywords=xbox+360+wireless

The controller I bought actually comes with the receiver for the same price as one without: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Controller-Windows-Receiver-Pc/dp/B004JU0JSA/ref=sr_1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1522800043&sr=1-4&keywords=pc+wireless+controller

Thanks for the reply, I presume then that this model comes with a receiver and can be paired with the 360 console too? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Xbox-Wireless-Controller-Windows/dp/B004JU0JSA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466888024&sr=8-1&keywords=wireless+360+controller+pc
