360 wired and still works like a champ. Play it with Clone Hero sometimes. That's wild that ol' hunk of plastic is worth money.
 
I just looked it up on Amazon. Wtf?!
It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!
I have just solved this after two years of non HD battlefield. The HD content will not download onto anything other than an official Microsoft hard drive, annoying I know. You have two options:
1: Buy an official xbox slim hard drive (fake ones will NOT work). These are super expensive, approx £70 plus.
2: This is what I done. Buy an old xbox hard drive like this (original xbox hard drive in 120gb, 250gb or 320gb) and buy a slim hard drive case like this. Remove the old hard drive from the casing, for this you will need a torx 6 screwdriver. There are videos in YouTube should you require them. Take the hard drive out, put it into the slim hard drive case and it will work fine. Hard drives are EXACTLY the same!
I managed to pick up an old 120gb hard drive for £15 and a case for £5. I've also realised the benefit of installing games, vastly reduces the noise your xbox makes. Enjoy the HD!
Only for the Xbox One controllers. For the 360 controllers like the one in this post, the adapter is needed.
I have one of the generic ones like this and it works great.
Not really, at all. You can get a 120gb Xbox 360 hard drive for 30 bucks.
Like this one or this one or this one.
look at the label on your supply for the watt rating. it will be 203w, 175w, or 150w. if it is 150w, then any of three will work. if it is 175w, then 203w and 175w supplies will work. if it is 203w, then you need to find another 203w supply.
just hit up craigslist or eBay and find any working supply. I see RROD 360s for sale on craigslist in my area quite cheap, $20-$30, and typically they include working power supplies. if you are in the USA, here is a 203w for $22 delivered on eBay.
this one on amazon looks fine too, but it is $30 and I think you need prime for free shipping on it. I did not read the reviews, but this says it is 203w, so it's pretty easy to check that. the 203w ends will work with any old style Xbox 360, regardless of what supply they originally came with (203w, 175w, 150w). If they send you a supply with a different watt-rating, then yeah, that could be a problem, if your 360 needs 203w.
Best $5 (when I got mine) I've spent. Currently have some Miley Cyrus recorded on it.
This is an afterglow 360 controller, it's a wired USB replica of a standard Microsoft 360 controller that works automatically on any windows PC. It is $27 and will make you infinitely better than using your keyboard.
yup. You can even use 2 at once, for 32 gigs of external storage that works the same as the internal hard drive. although this might be better for you
Well, this is what I used if you can figure out how to scrounge up the dough. Dark Souls is a lot of fun but I don't think you'll enjoy it as much with a kb/m, it was designed around a controller.
Get the play and charge kit (or just buy the batteries if you can find them) and then get a quick charge kit.
Messing around the AA batteries is annoying. The rechargeable ones are so much better.
The stock, wired headset is fine. Still use mine to this day. I've tried a couple of aftermarket ones and the wireless one, and I still prefer the original.
Well, the beige models are older (the original color), so they don't have a built in wireless receiver at all whatsoever, so you basically had to buy this adapter to use wireless internet at all on the thing. Here's one at Amazon.
The black Xbox 360s, nicknamed the 360 E or the "Slim" models, were made much later and included a wireless receiver within the console. No adapter required. They even touted it as a feature, boasting that it had "built in wifi", like how was not not a feature beforehand lol
This sexy bitch right here, but I for sure didn't pay $160 for it. I'm sure I bought it for $120 on amazon in March.
Don't see a lot of people using it, but I really love it. The stick and buttons are about double the distance apart from each other compared to other sticks, and that's really helpful for me because I have big clunky hands.
I also ordered one of these when they were on sale, but I haven't received it yet. These are probably the most used sticks ever. Also super comfortable, but I still like the RAP better.
I know people who swear by this one, cheapest good one I know of.

I need this
Bartartabart - Being so nervous you can only speak nonsense.
Is this what you need? If not, point me in the right direction. Fuck shit, I'll buy you one.
Awesome thanks for all the responds guys!
im probably going to try it on PC and see how it plays maybe end up getting it for both.
looking into getting that new Tekken 7 Hori fightstick. i really like the black one thats meant for PS4 but since dont have a PS4 im kinda stuck getting the white one unless i only play on PC or just get a brooks super converter. i also noticed that the PS4 tekken fightstick has a few more features like Turbo that the xbox one version does not.

take a look if your dare...very tempting..lol
Microsoft Wireless Apapter
Or 3rd Party
I'm not sure how much it would cost to ship from the US to Canada, but the Hori HRAP VXSA Kai meets all of your criteria pretty much perfectly. I've got one of the older model, so the non-"kai" version, which just has the turbo switches set up in a different place, but they're basically the same stick. I've been using mine for more than a year, and even though the housing is plastic, it feels super solid, and like I said, I've got one, so I can vouch for its quality. It's also one of cheaper sticks out there, with all of the quality. Check it out: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Xbox-360-Real-Arcade-Pro/dp/B008DDBMSK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376704187&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+hrap+kai
[These] (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Mini-Pro-Controller-Wired/dp/B005761CFO) are meant to be quite good and are 15% smaller than a regular 360 controller and should work fine with PC
Don't cheap out on the X12s. People clearly aren't acknowledging your original statement. The X12s are a stereo headset, meaning you won't be able to hear the direction of shots/footsteps. Also, they're wired.
I've got the X42s and although the surround sound is "Simulated" it does a damn good job. They sound awesome, and are wireless. I've been playing H4 for months with them and it's awesome. Especially in modes with no motion sensor.
Amazon got them here http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B006W41W3M for 129.00 which is under your budget and MUCH better than the X12s.
Cancel your order/contact your bank and get a refund. I'd recommend this controller. It has a lot of bad reviews but I've had it since December and use it to play Dark Souls and co-op with my girlfriend and have had no issues. It might not be the best for FPS games because it's not accurate like a mouse but as long as you handle it delicately, it should be fine.

Here you go, $30.
http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Ear-Force-Gaming-Headset/dp/B008M4BNQ6/ref=lp_676963011_1_8?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1408339737&sr=1-8
It's the new headset that i want to get for playing GTA Online on my xbox
The short answer is that literally any headset that you can cable to your computer will work.
The long answer is that the quality of the voice recording and the sensitivity of the microphone varies wildly.
I picked up a pair of Turtle Beach X42s for gaming after my X31s broke, both of which are Xbox 30 headsets. After about $20 in cabling I can connect it to my Xbone and laptop and I use it for everything. It's extremely sensitive on the Xbone and PC though, to the point where I have to take the batteries out of my analog clocks and turn off my ceiling fan because the microphone picks them up.
On the flip side, my very first PC headset was a $15 Logitech and the voice recording quality made it sound like the headset was inside of a sofa cushion at the other end of the room.
As far as worth it, I'd say so. Once I unleashed my headset on voice recording HITs I made the cost back in under a week, and I've yet to come across a voice recording HIT that wasn't worth doing. It also appears that X42s have gotten a lot cheaper since my pair cost just under a c-note when I bought them.
Dude, my friend plays the shit out of Paragon and he'd love this. Entering.
Can't take a picture right now unfortunately. Thanks a bunch for the giveaway, OP!
Also, if anyone's wondering what the code contains, I put it all in another comment.
Here is the first one I bought. It's first party, made my Microsoft, but it broke after a few months. Here is the one I currently have and use. The white one has lasted over a year, if not longer, while the black one just stopped working after a few months. It's also a bit cheaper than the Microsoft one.

get that and stop using a wire
Any Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller will work just fine (well, some people have a hate-on for the original 360's D-Pad).
When it comes to 360 controllers, I'm a fan of the PDP Rock Candy. They're cheap, but outside of lacking rumble, it doesn't feel like they skimped on parts.
So when Tekken 7 came out, I super enjoyed it and purchased the Hori Tekken 7 fight stick (https://www.amazon.com/Arcade-Hayabusa-Tekken-Officially-Licensed-Microsoft/dp/B019ZDL970), as I similarly had thought that it would improve my inputs, and frankly I just thought it looked cool (all the streamers I watched at that point had them). The thing I wished I had considered more at the time, is that the transition from playing from a pad to playing on a fight stick, is a much bigger transition than I had expected, and a significant time commitment. Unlike other places in the world where there is still an active arcade scene (where people play more in an arcade than at home, so they want to help replicate the arcade experience at home with a fight stick), here in the US, the arcade scene died out a long time ago, so in general, most people have played with a controller almost their entire lives. So if you do purchase a fight stick, during the learning phase, you will take a big step back from where you are now, just as you won't be able to rely on your lifetime of controller experience and will literally need to start learning to play again from step one. It's not so much like changing from an xbox controller to a playstation controller, it's more similar to moving from a controller to a keyboard and mouse. So while I don't regret my purchase, and have declined offers from friends to buy it, after about a 100 hours of using a fight stick, I went back to a controller. Of course, this is just my own experience, and many, many people are able to transition much easier and end up preferring and being better with a fight stick, so your experience may be totally different from my own, but since it is a decent amount of money to buy a decent fight stick, I wanted to share my own experience to maybe help with your decision.
I think you should at least give it a shot. As much as it can be frustrating because you don't have control over what other people do and they may take loot you want, etc., the game is also designed to be played in coop so there are a lot of cool things you will not experience if you only play solo, mainly in terms of the interactions and synergies between the different Vault Hunters' skills.
Like I said in a response below, the best way to do it is with friends but if that's not possible, be patient and consistently stay away from people who play like assholes (leave the game or kick them out of yours) and add nice people to your friend list in order to keep playing with them in the future. This has resulted in a lot of really satisfactory gameplay for me in BL2. Also, this subreddit can be a good resource to find cool people to play with.
Finally, as much as many people are ok with playing with you if you don't have a mic, it is something that really enhances the experience so maybe you could consider investing in one. You don't need to spend $100, there are more budget friendly options like this one or this one that some people will hate on but they work perfectly fine if you adjust your expectations to the amount of money you're spending and they will last if you treat them with care. Even this is an interesting option if you're on Xbox and I'm sure there's similar alternatives for other systems.
Turtle Beach XLa Headset. Reasonable price and still as powerful as the heavy duty TB's.
http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Ear-Force-Gaming-Headset/dp/B008M4BNQ6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Here's two other methods you could do if you don't mind spending money:
Buy the Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter (more expensive solution):
Buy a wifi ethernet bridge:
The second option is slightly more involved. You'll have to hook up the bridge to a computer to do the initial setup before it'll work for your 360. The first method is simpler, only requiring that you set up the network settings on the 360.
The official Xbox 360 brand wireless adapter runs about $80. I bought this one on Amazon for about half and it works perfectly fine.

Amazon (no, it's not a referral link)
I don't mean to be rude, but it's called the Xplorer, and it's for GHII.

Just for clarity this is the drive I was referring to:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004GINKNQ?pc_redir=1409997911&robot_redir=1
Just not Microsoft branded so I assume it reads the same as a flash drive?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GINKNQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
This one should work right? The reviews have said that theres no real difference between this one and an 'official' microsoft one

For the older system, I'd stick to the "elite" hard drives as they are less likely to be counterfeit as they should be black and say 120 GB in foil on top.

I really like the afterglow controllers I dare say they have even better quality than oem Xbox 360 controllers
Don't get this one, when a superior alternative is only $30 more:

If you have a wirelesss 360 controller lying around like I do, just spend $10 on this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007OSJOD0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
I use an XBox One controller. Standard wired XBox controller will also work. (Playing this, among a bunch of other platformers and fighters suddenly, killed my other controller so I upgraded to the XB1)
If you get an XB1 controller, the USB receiver is $20 on Amazon.
Controller w/receiver combo: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-CWT-00001-Controller-Wireless-Adapter/dp/B01M5GG9I7/
Receiver by itself: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Wireless-Adapter-Windows-Packaging/dp/B0785SFKYF
Wired controller I'd recommend if you want to go the cheap (price, not quality) route: https://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-Wired-Controller-Xbox-360-Red/dp/B00EZKNT5O/
I don't know why you are buying two but I would suggest getting a quality stick for both even if it costs a little extra. A Madcatz TE stick is probably the best way to go for your first stick. You don't want your first experience to be with a piece of trash.
I personally prefer Hori for the bulkier feel (I really love my Hori one.)
If you are going to go to local tournaments then you should probably get a Qanba since they are dual modded straight out of the box. They are like a higher quality TE IMO.
There will probably be some mad deals around Evo. I would wait until then.
The Hori Real Arcade Pro V3 SA KAI is usually pretty cheap. I own one myself and have seen many tournament players using them in videos. I believe it's all Sanwa parts, just like the Mad Catz TE (which I also own.)
I've started to prefer it over my TE stick, mostly because the foam on the bottom is much more comfortable for people like myself who play with the stick on our laps.
Xbox 360 version on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.ca/Xbox-360-Real-Arcade-Pro/dp/B008DDBMSK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1407725024&sr=8-4&keywords=hori
This is the one I've been using for years. It's lasted with zero problems. It's old so it's way cheaper then newer versions and sounds amazing. The microphone is super clear. The only downside to it is the mic is a little too sensitive. Can pick up noises from far away.
You can buy the PS4 TalkBack cable for cheap to get the microphone to work.
I'm looking at picking up my first arcade stick and after searching I am looking at these 3:
I play on PC so I like the third one most for compatibility reasons, but I am not 100% sure which has the highest quality parts or even if they're all the same. I have an intel chipset so a PS3 stick SHOULD work without problems and if the PS3 sticks I linked are higher quality then I will nut up and go for one of them.
The one I bought for my TV (60' Sharp) is this: http://www.amazon.com/Kinect-Sensor-TV-Mounting-Clip-Xbox/dp/B004XV6ST4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397482949&sr=8-2&keywords=kinect+mount
Works well, and should fit any newer TVs.
I use the turtle beach x42s; http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Wireless-Surround-Headset-Xbox-360/dp/B006W41W3M
the main downside that I have when going on PC is that I have to have a Xbox360 controller plugged in and then mic line plugged in through that to get mic. BUT, the head set was cheap ($100 walmart sale) and i have a cable that I can go to my PS4 to with them. So one set of headphones for Xbox, PS4 and PC. Uses one of those Fiber Optic cables that plugs into my sound card, to a wireless box that goes to the headphones. IMO its crystal clear sound, outside noise cancelling, and I can generally hear and track footsteps in most games I play.
Here is the currently available one for those of you wanting one
http://www.amazon.com/gameDR-Smack-Talk-XBOX-360-Live/dp/B000QDCPFE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371492081&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+360+trash+talk
"You just got smacked, by Game Dr.Smack Talk!"
I used to have this thing for charging the removable battery packs, and this for when I wanted to play while I charged. Are you talking about those pads where put the whole controller on it, like this Nyko thing?
Wow, is it bad that I kind of want one? Also, I bet you just caused almost everyone who saw this post to buy one... way to go OP! We are all going to get super trash-talked now!
Edit: nvm, it seems to be currently unavailable... still [this] (http://www.amazon.com/gameDR-Smack-Talk-XBOX-360-Live/dp/B000QDCPFE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371529097&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+360+trash+talk) is there to replace it however...
Paid $5 bucks for [this one] (http://www.amazon.com/gameDR-Smack-Talk-XBOX-360-Live/dp/B000QDCPFE) years ago. I generally annoy my friends more with it than random strangers since no one is in game chat.
I saw a similar item in the process of looking for the one pictured here, and this was in the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section.
I'm talking about this or this. I don't have experience with generic brands, but they probably work well and come in smaller sizes than the official Xbox versions. They're pricey though, so maybe gauge your need first.
Silver ended as in this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Power-Supply-Microsoft-XBOX-360/dp/B000PT18OS
or this one: http://www.amazon.com/Original-Microsoft-Power-Supply-Adapter/dp/B001MNTVNQ ?
I mounted mine to the top of my TV, using this clip.
Mine also only has ethernet. It has a port for adapters, and I think that I could get a wifi adapter, but for $50 that seems a bit much to justify.
Yep, Hell its $50 new on Amazon right now too.
Do any of you guys used the HORI VX-SA Kai as it came out of the box, square gate and all? I had a really cheap 6 button HORI stick as my entry one when I first started using them on 360, then got this one almost immediately after it came out and haven't felt a need to upgrade. I'm considering swapping the buttons out for all black ones but have never even opened it up: I assume it's not hard and hopefully there's no soldering to do.
I see a lot of the fashion flare super sweg m8 ultra TES style w/e sticks and custom art ones... but I'm just a casual over here.
So I'd have to buy something like this if I have the xbox slim?

Gotta look at it in a business sense. So the companies of course will make products for the bigger market so it will sell easier, which someone mentioned Sony have more fighting games than M$ does. That said, having those sticks exclusive doesn't mean much considering not everyone are fans of those designs. And if you are a tourney traveler and you also play on many systems, it may be in your best interest to put a Brooks all-in-one board.
The HORI RAP N is actually offered for the Xbone. It is just sold as a theme for T7. Razer may have given Sony the Panthera but Xbox always had the trusty Atrox.
You should have been around during the PS3/X360 days. Situation was hella reversed. Many of the FGs ran better on the X360 so they ran tourneys on them. Meaning you needed your sticks to be compatible for that. Or in some cases people just used a Brooks board anyway.
I'm using Afterglow xbox 360 controller and playing the game on pc (steam) no emu.
I went all out and got the new Hori Tekken 7 stick. Never had a fight stick before but it seems like this is a decent choice. Supposedly the black one with the Mishima artwork will work on PC as well, I just like this one better.
Until my stick arrives I'll be using the less than ideal 360 controller.
This is the controller you're talking about?
http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Mini-Pro-Controller-Wired/dp/B005761CFO
What OS are you using and what driver are you using for the controller?
I use a pair of Turtle Beach X42 which I have been using since the Xbox 360 and it uses a 2.5. When I got the Xbox One I had to buy a Stereo Headset Adapter to be able to still use the headset. I've went through 3 of these since the release of adapter. When I purchased them they were $25 now they're $80. Now I'm trying to figure which of the two I can use because even though they're similar they're not the same.
Datel made one.

This is what I would suggest. Vewlix style button layout, all sanwa parts, solid and wider than other sticks.
do you think this unnoficial wired one will work? or the one for xbox one, if im buying originals?
How would a battery pack and wireless adapter be cheaper than picking up a RockCandy Wired 360 Controller
no its for this https://www.amazon.com/Arcade-Hayabusa-Tekken-Officially-Licensed-Microsoft/dp/B019ZDL970/ref=sr_1_7?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1499839215&sr=1-7&keywords=fightstick
I play both console and PC, there's serious positives and negatives to both but I want to set a few things straight.
controllers, keep in mind this is the equivalent of buying a mouse and keyboard for PC gaming and Alot of PC gamers own $50+ mice/keyboards.
Yes first party Wireless controllers are $50 new, but they're usually on sale for $40 or less wired are $40 new but again usually on sale, I got mine a few months ago for $25
Also there's some decent enough third party controllers that cost less such as afterglow And some that cost a little more This is Xbox prices mind you, they're the more expensive of the two and there's considerably less third party support on the Xbox
Headsets
The best (in my opinion) mono set for the Xbox is $10 But usable ones are as cheap as [$5] (http://www.amazon.com/KMD-Xbox-360-Live-Gaming-Headset/dp/B003A71XKQ/ref=pd_cp_e_0). Stereo headsets cost a bit more at $30 and up but thats the same on the PC too.
Also console games drop in price relatively quickly with one exception, the COD series.
Otherwise I agree with you.
Heres a few:

I think there were two, the G and N. I think the N outperformed the G on G networks, and would obviously be required for best speed on an N network.
Do not pay $100 for this, but just to give you product info: Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter N by Microsoft Software http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008K24BKU/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_5AVTub0BXASP0
Just make sure you don't get one of these guys: http://www.amazon.com/DuaFire-Wired-Controller-Xbox-Black/dp/B00JTQS1DO/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1421852497&sr=8-12&keywords=xbox+pc+controller&pebp=1421852509508&peasin=B00JTQS1DO
That is the same one I received but I ordered the OEM one from OP's link. Good thing Amazon return policy is great.
Don't buy a HD from EB Games/Gamestop you will end up paying full retail price.
An official MS 250GB goes for $79.99 on Amazon.com I'm sure they have smaller if you don't need that much space or grab a USB flash drive. I do believe Xbox supports up to 32GB.
Edit: Here is a link for a generic 60GB for $40, check out the reviews.
Afterglow Wired Controller for Xbox 360 - Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EZKNT5O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_2qYAwb70QB96Y
Looking for over-ear headphones for watching TV and some movies with an immersive experience. I need some form of volume control as I'm using an adapter to plug them into my cable box's RCA outputs, and my cable box does not have any method of adjusting its own audio separate from the TV. The main issue I'm having trying to find any is they're either Bluetooth (meaning the volume control won't even work in my use) or they have highly mixed reviews. Chief complaints of the Sennheiser RS120s are the deafening static when the audio stops and having to manually tune them to the device. I'm not crazy about wireless anyway as it means having to worry about charging or changing batteries. Last thing I want to do is do either of those things in the middle of a program.
Budget - ~$100 USD (flexible)
Source - Xfinity X1 Cable Box via RCA (male) to 3.5mm (female)
Requirements for Isolation - At least some would be nice. I'd only be using them in my bedroom so mostly just to block out some ambient noises like my fan and my dog.
Will you be using these Headphones in Public? No
Preferred Type of Headphone - Full-sized/over ear.
Preferred tonal balance - For TV balanced I guess?
Past headphones - Until recently I was using these with the RCA plugged into my cable box. Main things I liked were the volume control and amplified audio, as sometimes what I'm watching can be too loud or too low, and when I'm done I can just turn the volume down all the way instead of having to unplug them each time.

I'm not saying buy that one, it's just the first one that came up with a quick search that would fit. Do some research, find a seller/product combo you're happy with, and there ya go.
Here you go!
This is cheap and reviews include one saying it works fine with rocket league (and some other games)...

I see your point. However, there are already focusing lenses, monitor attachments for the kinect, and algorithm improvements to enhance the interface to be oriented towards a desktop setting.
I'm glad that someone else knows about the Leap Motion hardware. But, considering that you seem to be informed about current developments in "innovative" UI and interface designs, I am curious to hear why you feel that these particular interfaces are more prohibitive than the traditional keyboard/mouse interface.
Granted, more physical effort is exerted in order to navigate the interface, but doesn't it allow for greater agency and "natural" navigation of content? It certainly has novelty appeal, but I was convinced that this would be a technology that would stick (assuming future generations of the device would not limit or inhibit usage in a home workspace environment).
It seems to me that technology evolves first, by simulating the real world; once verisimilitude has been achieved, it evolves by revealing information inherent in the medium - not previously accessible by human experience; then by creative/artistic expression.
Kinect is still inadequately emulating the natural navigation patterns that humans use and is still evolving before the real benefits of this new UI style can be explored.
Having said this, I acknowledge that the keyboard has a particular benefit - as does the mouse (especially considering that an unaugmented Kinect is unrealistic to use for the traditional desktop environment as a replacement to the keyboard/mouse). But I wouldn't suggest that a "NUI" is more prohibitive that an interface built for keyboard/mouse controls.
It is interesting to see someone with knowledge of these devices, and the developments in their respective fields, with an opinion in opposition to my own. I'm genuinely interested in hearing if you feel that the current state of the technology is insufficient or if the NUI itself is insufficient.

There's always these: http://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-Wired-Controller-Xbox-360-Green/dp/B00EZKNSTQ
They just require a bit of manual setup in the way of forcing it to use the microsoft xb360 controller drivers, as windows doesn't automatically recognize it as an xb360 controller sometimes. Only have to do it once.
XBox controller all the way. 360 or One, doesn't really matter much between them.
Don't go PS4, support is more pain in the assy, and while tons of games have real support for the XBox controller with proper button prompts and stuff, that is not the case for a Playstation controller.
I actually bizarrely like a third party 360 controller made by PowerA called the Pro EX Mini, since it has a post-patent dpad and a nice feel. People probably will think I'm crazy though.
Friend of mine gave me his wireless 360 controller. You using the [original] (https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Wireless-Receiver-Windows/dp/B000HZFCT2) or one of the [Chinese] (https://www.amazon.com/White-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Microsoft-360/dp/B007OSJOD0/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1505687385&sr=1-4&keywords=Microsoft+Xbox+360+Wireless+Receiver) knockoffs?
Not really looking to spend $25 on a genuine one just to use my 360 controller on PC.
Whoa what? If your Toys R Us has them I suggest you buy them out and put them on Amazon, where they start at $160 new.
(And sell me one for much less because I have helped you make hundreds)
This one right? Yes, I'm interested. Let me know if you see anything from my list.
I bought this controller and I have not had that much play time with it, but so far it seems to be reliable. I wanted a wired controller and could not find a Microsoft one anywhere locally, so I opted for this. Hated doing it at first but it really does feel well made. My only complaint is due to it being slightly smaller, it takes some time to get in the groove. It killed my shooting ability in Call of Duty. For games like Bioshock and Minecraft I didn't really expect anything different. I would always recommend Microsoft controllers first but for an aftermarket it is beyond expectations. Although, due to experience with MadKatz shit, they were very low expectations.
Have you tried running an Ethernet cable to it? That would seem to be the easiest and cheapest fix. I've had a 360 S for years (just about since that model launched), and the built-in wireless has never given me any problems. I have plenty of tablets, laptops, and phones on my wireless as well. I also have had several older 360 models, that don't have built-in wireless, and for those I use the official USB wireless adapters, which have also never given me any problems. In fact the USB adapter is better than the built-in adapter, because it supports 5GHz in addition to 2.4GHz. You might look into getting one if using a wired connection is not an option. another option would be to purchase an access point for use only by the Xbox 360. Something like this should work fine, and would be cheaper than the official USB wireless adapter (which is no longer manufactured).
Does it look like this?
Will they work? Yes. Though it's a SIN to pay that much. I've been using these bad boys for years now. You should be able to pick one up at any decent game store (I've even seen them at wallmart) Never bought one online but 30 USD on amazon is about what they normally go for.
Don't worry: LEDs can be toggled off

I believe it comes with an adapter for the xbox one
I remember buying it at gamestop 4 years ago. https://www.amazon.com/d/Xbox-360-Gamepads-Controllers/Afterglow-Wired-Controller-Xbox-360-Green/B00EZKNSTQ
The picture is a really crappy Quality though
I got this on Amazon for around $11. I eventually switched to a much nicer official Xbox controller. But I still have the controller and I used it for a long time.
I'm pretty sure I've read this before...
edit: yup, here's the original
[Yeah it's one of these.] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008K24BKU/ref=aw_2nd_sims_1?pi=SS115)
Used, like new condition, Guitar Hero 2 controller for Xbox 360 (the best Guitar imo) for only $40, the cheapest price I could find online. Buy it quick before someone else does.
I'm not a girl, but a quick google search found me this

I got this. Is that good?

Had these for 3 years without problem. You can hear yourself as you talk in the speakers, wireless connection from headset to receiver (except has one wire for headset to controller) has 5.1 surround, and independent volume controls.

Best bang for your buck on Amazon is probably this:

The only drawback is that the button layout is a little different from Vewlix layouts, which I believe are used by most other popular sticks these days.
I keep hawking your thread but the misinformation in some of these posts is bad! Please get some input from somewhere other than the general gaming sub! All you need to use a controller on PC is a wired xbox 360 controller, or this $12 adapter which allows you to use a wireless xbox 360 or xbox one controller. You can also use a ps4 controller with a program called ds4windows.
I don't know if your iphone adapter will work. I don't know it's volt and amp ratings. However, there is the XBOX 360 Quick Charge Kit that plugs into an outlet.
Thanks! Do you know if this is of equal quality, it look kinda cool :
