Oh it is smaller? From the two times I have held the 360 controller, I really liked it, and it seems that the air flo is very comfortable.
Again thanks for recommendations and help. thumb.gif

You're welcome!

I forgot to add: Windows installs the drivers for the ChillStream automatically, it is identified as a Microsoft Xbox controller for Windows.

Actually I just plugged it in for the first time since I upgraded to the X79 platform. It just takes a minute to install the drivers; the fan however I have to correct myself, even on Low you can hear it. Whether it's distracting or not it's subjective (I've had the controller since 2007 I think, so the fan's bearing might need some oil).

Yes, this is exactly why - and how it works. The hardware in the controller is the same thing as any other XBOX controller, as far as the PC or console communicating with it goes.. If it's not the same, it's not an XBOX controller.

I use a wired 360 contoller for most games recently using it for Diablo 3, since I have a htpc setup and of course play on my couch.
Plug and play, drivers recognized when connected if not driver support can be found at Microsoft website.
I use xpadder for my games and alternate mouse support. The software unfortunately cost around 10 bucks and it's no trial ware.
There are other controller profiler softwares out there though... Such as pinnacle for example. That's great too.
Sent from my HTC evo 4g

WOW it seems that there are a lot of different type of controllers out there. Never researched this before, all new to me.

You can play diablo with a controller?

 

Ya it takes awhile to get used to... I set up mine like this. If you can imagine how an xbox 360 controller you might understand this pic... lol to lazy to describe, I can get you the information if you truely are wanting to play like this.

Yes I know... You can't replace a keyboard and mice (sometimes lol), anyway I am quick with my buttons as if I was using keyboard and mice. Though it's more accurate to state that a mouse has more accuracy. IMO, it's actually quite relaxing and since I don't play hardcore, due to server issues (kind of, aka bugs) it's enjoyable!

Ohhh I see what you are doing. That seems like a cool program. Might even use it for stuff other than gaming.

Thanks for the pics, good post but did you have post it three times?

Oh man dual displays sure come in handy.

Let's try to stay focused on a good question by the OP.

I know it is USB, so I plug, install drivers, and play. I see the wireless ones you need the receiver, which is about $15.
The wired controllers are way cheaper and that is plug and play right? Any place I can get really cheap?

Please keep it civil among each other. smile.gif
