Solutions below., = Fun: This review is from: Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows (Accessory) As you can see from the other reviews, this device works very well for some, and not so well for others. Putting aside the interference problem with other 2.4ghz devices such as mice (2.4ghz wireless routers will NOT give you problems), I believe there is a single solution to almost everyone's problem, which I will outline below.After installing the device & software, I couldn't get my black wireless xbox360 elite controller to sync with the receiver. The ring light on the controller would rotate while trying to connect to the receiver. The light on the receiver would blink attempting to locate the controller. After a few seconds, the ring on the controller would stop rotating, and start blinking. A connection could not be made. After some research, I found the solution. The issue is with USB power. The receiver needs A LOT of it. If you have other devices on your USB, especially high powered USB keyboards or mice, the receiver might not work. Try...

This product is *NOT* by Microsoft as Advertised!!!, By Mark Twain (MINNEAPOLIS, MN, US) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows (Accessory) If you have already bought this item skip to `The work around' to get the device to workMy Story: I purchased this item because my original Microsoft receiver stopped working after the manufacturer's warranty time of 90 days. The device simply was not working one morning. So I searched online for a replacement and thought I was getting the original Microsoft Xbox 360 receiver because it was advertised that way. Unfortunately the product did not work right off so I had to contact Microsoft gaming for support. Then after trial and error we discovered that Microsoft did not produce this rip off of their product. So how can I prove this? Well first off the pic #2 and #3 are legit. but the 1st pic if the rip off. Microsoft NEVER prints the Words "Xbox 360" without first printing "Microsoft" to read "Microsoft Xbox 360." Behind the word Microsoft there will be an 'R' in a circle and behind the words Xbox 360 will be a small 'TM.' This product came with a...

No issues with lag or bad connections.The downfall here is that unless your game can specifically be setup to map controls to a gamepad/joystick, you're out of luck (kinda). Microsoft doesn't include any mapping software at all, which really doesn't make a lot of sense, since so few PC games would be naturally compatible with the remote. Luckily, there is a great piece of software called Pinnacle game profiler. It allows you to specifically map each button to a movement/function in any game (customizable by game). You get a free 30 day trial ($20 after that), but it's worth the money. After spending about 15 minutes setting this up, it works great. I have tested it out on Half-Life 2, F.E.A.R. and Call of Duty 2 with no issues. |

The silver shine, the chrome guide button, the shiny black plastic, it all goes together in a perfect combo. This is a sexy controller and it will look sexy in your hands. Mechanics: There are two main noticeable improvements. The first one is with the analog sticks. My "main controller" was actually just a five year old xbox 360 controller that had lost its 4 notches on the sticks, but it was extremely old. I prefer not having those 4 notches and enjoy the fact that this controller was designed perfectly for my taste. It feels better on your thumbs. The d-pad, while it is an improvement, is not improved by much. I play SSFIV a lot with my nice expensive $150 stick, but I do play with a...

A lot of people are complaining about the lack of color on the a,b,x,y buttons, but I don't need them to have color anyway.I like the new texture of the controller. It isn't a slippery surface and has a little tackier/rougher feel. Makes it easier to hold onto if your hands sweat. I also like that they added a bit of resistance to the thumbsticks. This should also help fix the problem of the thumbsticks getting "floaty" after some use. The trigger buttons also now have a curve, but doesn't really have an impact on use or feel for me, but okay design. On to the directional pad. It still sucks. It is neat that you can convert it to a raised plus shape or more of a flat shape, but the underlying problem is still there. The d-pad is still on top of a disk, which makes it imprecise. I was trying to enter character names last night and had to use the thumbstick because the d-pad is so...

(North Bay, California) - See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Xbox 360 Silver Controller and Play & Charge Kit (Accessory) OK, when I first heard about this controller the first thing I said was about time!!! I am one of the very few people that prefer the PS3 controller, mainly due to the D-Pad. But for shooters the 360 controller cant be beat. But since day one the 360 has had that horrible D-Pad. So obviously when I heard about the new transforming D-Pad I had high hopes.The main reason (if not the only reason) I bought this was for Fallout New Vegas. If you are familiar with it or Fallout 3 you know that you can "hot key" your weapons, etc to the D-Pad. Well because of how bad the original D-Pad was I would only use up, down, left, and right. If you tried to use ANY of the diagonal keys you would end up in BAD situations pulling the wrong weapon as a Deathclaw is storming at you and you really need your missile launcher, and you accidentally pull out a pistol. In New Vegas up is already designated as your "change ammo type", so that leaves only 3 other reliable slots. So when... Read more |

| 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful:  Not a good product, This review is from: Rechargeable Controller Battery Pack for XBOX 360 - 3600mAH (Electronics) I've had this product for about a week now and its already starting to break. IT sometimes doesn't recharge and you have to fiddle with the wire to get it to recharge. The battery life time on it is about 4-5 hour. And its extremely hard to recharge it while playing because you have to hold the wire to the side so it picks up a charge. Over all this is a bad product and i don't think anyone should buy it 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: You get what you pay for I guess, By This review is from: Rechargeable Controller Battery Pack for XBOX 360 - 3600mAH (Electronics) I received this product in the mail about a week ago and was excited about it since I hadn't been able to play my Xbox 360 for a while. I plugged it in and alas! Everything worked perfectly... at least for the next few days..urgghhh.The problem is that it charges the first time you use it, then after a while it keeps showing the low battery signal on your controller. Even when you take the cord out and plug it back in it keeps showing low battery. I even left my Xbox on for a few hours hoping it would charge. I came back and STILL low battery. My friends were even complaining of an annoying frequency "buzz" with the headset being plugged in while letting it charge. Overall the product is cheap and unreliable. It should in fact be only $1.99 instead of whatever it is right now. Please DO NOT BUY this product unless you want it to work for 2 weeks tops. Even if you are curious about it and think that the 3 (5 star) reviews above might be accurate just...
