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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, June 30, 2008
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows (Personal Computers)
This is a great heavy controller. Didn't use included software - simply connected it to Vista(32), let it install the software automatically, then turned on the controller and let it install that automatically.

This controller is ridiculously more precise than the Logitech controllers I've tried (with the square area for the joysticks). I'm having SO much more fun playing games, especially racing games.

Rumble feature works for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great controllers but the wireless receiver stink., January 30, 2010
This review is from: Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows (Personal Computers)
The transceivers that come with the controllers are crap, shame I didn't learn about it until after I picked one up but these things have been failure prone for years. 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
