Dane Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 So I got a new PC, because I want to try that instead of the new xbox. Mostly First Person Shooters. I have Battlefield 3 for xbox, and want to get into it on PC. W,A,S,D Isn't working too well just yet, is there any controllers I can use and use that?

Does anyone know can I set up the controller similar to what I have the 360 set up as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Jester124 Subscriber² Posted July 8, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted July 8, 2013 you can buy a wireless Xbox controller with a PC dongle also.

Phouchg Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 That dongle comes with every wireless gamepad or must be bought separately? Edit: I see it obviously comes with this one. I'm stupid :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compl3x Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I think e you can also find them on eBay. I don't think MS actually sells the dongles separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Jester124 Subscriber² Posted July 9, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted July 9, 2013 as complex stated, ebay would be a good place. Here's a like to some. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=xbox+360+wireless+adapter&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1311.R4.TR5.TRC1.A0.TRS0&_nkw=xbox+360+wireless+adapter+pc&_sacat=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Angel Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I own a Nyko Airflo EX. It has a fan and can blow cold air onto your hands whilst you're gaming which is actually quite nice if you game for long periods of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 +1 for wired xbox controller, IMO they can't be beat ( except for that nasty + controller which has fixed in the "newer version"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugi Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I think i'm going to start using the usb xbox 360 controller once my breakaway replacement cable comes in the mail.With regard to 3rd party wireless dongles I would imagine that they would work just fine and possibly in some cases better than the genuine one.

Shadrack Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I use a third party 'knock-off' "X360" USB wireless controller dongle and it works fine once you get the drivers installed correctly. It isn't plug-and-play though and the instructions it came with did not work for me. I had to find help online on how to install. Once setup it seems to work just fine with the Microsoft driver setup. If you don't already have a controller, I suggest buying the MS package with controller+dongle. Otherwise you can save some bucks and get a generic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juguard Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 So you already have a Xbox360 with at least one controller? Just get the PC wireless adapter, and you can use your current controller that you already have, unless you sold your Xbox360. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Windows/dp/B000HZFCT2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
