Inside the package is the receiver and a minidisk containing. On to the back - Xbox Live in top left corner, and contains tons of "engrish" as is to be expected by these Google Translated packages - See for yourself in the pictures below, but it contains words such as "futuer" (future), "gigathertz" (gigahertz), and "intgrated" (integrated). Cardboard states Xbox 360 compatible, Hi-Speed USB Certified, Compatible with Windows 7. Packaging is simple - bump-clasp plastic clamshell packaging, with a thin cardboard insert, the product, and a twist tie around the cable. As such, I got my item in 2 days ( USPS UPS, sorry) as opposed to 3 or 4 weeks.)īack to what this discussion is actually about: Oddly/conveniently, they also have a warehouse in New Jersey. (A small aside about (this review is NOT about the seller, but the item) - they ARE a China based seller, and as thus have the typical warehouse in Hong Kong. Which is really nice, considering I've been wanting to get back into PC gaming a little more than just Minecraft lately (just saw the video for iCEnhancer 2.0, a complete tex pack for GTA IV. Lucky for me, the guys over at felt like hooking me up with one of these. And then, I didn't know how well they worked. I've known of these knockoff ones for a few years now (ever since I discovered dealextreme), but I had no job at that point - so again, too expensive, even at $15-$20. but I hate that place, and they're still 50 or 60 dollars. Now they're just hard to find, I know Best Buy sells them. The official ones were always either expensive (I think they were $30 by themselves), or more expensive ($50 or $60 with the wireless controller). Naturally, I would want a wireless adapter for it. "Why is my controller stuck? Oh, my chair." It tends to be a bit of an annoyance as you roll your chair over it a few times.
When you're sitting two feet away from your computer, it makes little sense to have a 10 foot cable trailing along the floor, coiled up a few times.
And wireless controllers just fit in right nicely in that equation. My keyboard isn't (who moves a keyboard though(though I DO have a Bluetooth keyboard for my Android phone, compatible with my PC too since I have a BT receiver for it)). My gaming mouse is wireless (Cyborg RAT 9). And when those games natively support the Xbox 360 controller, it's a nice little extra touch to be able to get rumble (without having to go spoofing a controller as a 360 one).īut wires suck.
This was years ago, and although I am much more computer-oriented as a gamer than I am towards consoles, some games just play better with a controller. My first ever controller for it was a wired one, because I wanted to be able to use it with my computer as well. I have an Xbox 360 (Well, technically, now I have 3, but that's besides the point).
