Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows Reviews
| 29 of 30 people found the following review helpful  Xbox 360 wireless controller + Vista, By = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows (Personal Computers) If you have Vista and play games then you need this controller. Works perfect without the need of installing drivers or gamepad/game configuration. Finally an easy care-free gamepad for Windows! Remember not to install the CD that comes with this controller if you have Vista. I've had this controller for over a month now and it works perfectly. Take note that the batteries go fairly quickly. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful Great, = Fun: This review is from: Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows (Personal Computers) This is a great heavy controller.

The power draw is high and users have had USB devices that were plugged in simultaneously fail (actual device failure, just just plug back in failure), and even if it doesn't kill other devices, the receiver is prone to fail itself. There was a link on Engadget years ago describing these issues and user feedback.[...] The problem with the receivers themselves is that the power draw is so high the F1 fuse on the unit is blowing (which could potentially kill underpowered USB devices on same computer). It can be opened up and hacked manually, but why should you have to do that? Now you've got a device which takes too much power, and exceeds the operating limits that even MS defined. Oh - and product only warrantied for 90 days, never mind that the receiver doesn't get the wear and tear... Read more |
