So I decided to buy an xbox 360/pc controller


Recommended Posts

i personally like keyboard and mouse for FPS, but i wanted to try it....but im used to hearing your comments now. Anyway, NFS is pretty damn awesome with the xbox 360 controller... This demo has really made me want this game....Can't wait for it to be at best buy

Well, its a lot more comfortable than the logitech ones...around the same buttons, but i dont know what the drivers are for the Logi's...

Software sucks for this, but I'm hearing that they are already working on solving that part. Aside from that, it's not bad at all. I've been running from the cops on NFS and the analog stick works pretty well. It took me a little getting used to the sensitivity of NFS, but once you establish that, it's smooth sailing,

thats like driving a car with a joystick, and flying a plane with steering wheel

every controller has a purpose, and I'm sorry but gamepad purpose is not to be used for FPS games.

Agreed. Controllers are absurd for FPS games.

ea sports games are very picky with controllers, what is the name of the xbox 360 controller in windows?

so i could check if it would work with fifa 2006

Xbox 360 For Windows is what Windows picks it up as...something i just noticed is the right analog stick isnt centering right at all...i may go return this one tomorrow and get a new one and see if it fixes the problem. Pretty bad :/

Well, I just got back from best buy and exchanged my 'old' 360 controller for a new one....this one's analog sticks are much better, lol, they almost actually stay centered.... Microsoft is definatly goign to have some user complaints with these new controllers since it seems I'm not the only one

If you buy one of these controllers, I suggest you buy the 8 dollar replacement plan for 2 years, you're probably going to need it. Also, make sure you test your controller's analog sticks, if they aren't close to being centered, return it before it's too late.

Etremetechs review of the XBOX 360 controller

They tell you its exactly same as the one sold for the 360 and all you need to do (if you by the 360 version which is $5 cheaper) is when it looks for drivers have it look online and it will download them for you automatically.

By the way a gamepad is great for Mame!

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
    • In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
