Xbox 360 Controller Adaptor

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
Hi everyone wave2.gif



Need some help, I play a lot on my new pc recently, but the fact is....I´ve been playing xbox since the first one came out so I´m a lot more used to controllers, than keyboard and mouse.


Some may say it´s worse, and I respect their opinion but ..... I´m so used to playing with controllers that it´s no fun on keyboard and mouse



I just bought of amazon, a wireless adaptor to use my wireless xbox controllers, but I can´t seem to map buttons can anyone help me out, or give me a link to a software that does that?



Also if nothing else works, anyone got a suggestion for a controller (razer, logitech...)? good for crysis, battlefield, mass effect, etc..



Many thanks Everyone! thumbsupsmiley.png

What game do you want to use it on. MS controllers are supported by a vast amount of pc games.

A lot of games natively support it, but for games like Minecraft and maybe MMOs I've use my 360 controller by setting it up with Xpadder. http://xpadder.com/

I've found the 360 controller to be perfect for me, but a couple factors are that I'm already used to it (frequently use my 360) and don't feel like spending money on things I don't need.

Razer Onza works with windows, if I'm not mistaken. Its not wireless, which I consider a plus.

Sorry to hijack but is using a controller on pc really that big of a handicap? I understand there might be a difference but is it HUGE that you wont enjoy the game as you would on a console because the disadvantage your at? I love pc graphics i just hate using the mouse and keyboard for FPS lol

No problem wink.gif

Well I´ve heard lot´s of different opinions, my personal is that if you are playing online like battlefield or something, driving, flying and something thats very complex is a lot better on controller, if your aiming its a little bit better at the mouse, since you can scroll it faster than on the analog stick, but nothing that can get seriosly noticed agains normal everyday players.

I´m not a extreme super player and I only play for fun and whenever I can with my friends, and I´m so used to controller that I´m better with it, could I get a faster kill or maybe 3-5 more kills with the mouse maybe, but I enjoy controllers and it would take long before getting used to the keyboard, not to mention those weird positions the keyboards demands.

I played crysis with mouse/ keyboard and hated it, played with controller what a fluid better experience, but thats my opinion.

Also I believe there are some servers in games like crysis and battlefield for controller users only, not sure but I think there are.

i have been flamed a few times for saying what i'm about to say.
using a keyboard and mouse is no better than a controller, if you are good at using a controller.

i play almost only on xbox, but i downloaded blacklight since it was free and used a wired xbox 360 controller. most games i am on the top of the leaderboard.
there are times i dont do well and that's when i cant figure out what gun i was using last time i played and get stuck with something i do not like. soon as i find a gun that fits me, i dominate the room.

xbox works with keyboard an mouse, yet i haven't heard anyone say they have used it on xbox and did well.

sure you can turn quicker with a mouse, but i can turn fast enough with a controller after being shot in the back, do a 180 and kill the person behind me. not always but enough to notice that it's about identical to me playing mw3 on xbox.
as for the hardware i use, you can check the sig rig. i dont really have a gaming rig since i'm on an amd and have a 5770. you would figure that these PC gamers would have a leg up on me with their fancy sli/crossfire or extra frames with better cards.

some people are better with k/m others are better with controller. i wouldn't expect someone that feels more comfortable with k/m to pick up a controller and play as well, just as they shouldn't expect me to play well on k/m.
since my k/d doesn't seem to take any type of hit vs xbox, i say that the entire idea that keyboard and mouse is better than controller is a myth. this is also playing a game i hardly even know, i'm sure if i were to play blacklight as much as mw3, i'd have a much higher k/d because you end up knowing where everyone is going to camp or control areas. to prove this point i was going to buy mw3 for pc, but i'm pretty sick of playing that game and dropping that much money on a game just to prove a point seems like a huge waste of money.
as for blackops 2, i might switch to pc for that game, and then rent blops 2 for xbox to do a side by side.
