With Windows 7 I just plugged it in and the driver installed automatically within a minute, and everything works as expected.
Summary: the product is great, works as expected, and WILL OPERATE UP TO 4 CONTROLLERS.Look past my auction site tip of the hat and have this shipped to you right now.
I didn't see one either, so not sure if it's actually a genuine Microsoft product, but it does work as expected when playing games on the Raspberry Pi 3.
didn't work as expected
This is a very good product, it work as expected, I had no problems with it,I recommend this product.
I was always a die hard console gamer that never owned a gaming PC until about 3 years ago
My friends and I use this to play games like Castle Crashers and Hammerwatch on via Steam on my PC connected to the TV.Don't waste your money on a Xbox 360 controller for PC - its just a 360 controller with this EXACT same receiver.
and I was able to enjoy games like GTA SA, Counter Strike Source and many other games
I'm mainly a console gamer, I've never enjoyed PC games because of mouse/keyboard controls
Play all of your favorite games on your computer with the beloved 360 controller
This device worked well for a while, but then inexplicably died.
This magical device lets me use my xbox 360 wireless controller work on the computer.
You need to install the drivers from microsoft for the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Receiver (pretty sure that's right), then go to the device manager on your computer (after you've plugged in the receiver) and find the unknown device
This device is great because I can use the same xbox controller that I'm familiar with
This device works well, no lag, and no problem with setup
I don't care what everyone says about it is or is not Microsoft official, this thing worked for me and that is honestly all I care about
This thing is built real well, and certainly looks official, although the official Microsoft one is white and has XBOX branding
The only thing I didn't like was that the cable attached to the device is pretty long, but I know it's that long to accommodate everyone, and I use it on my laptop, so all problems are self inflicted.
works well. have to re-pair constantly, but its an easy thing to do if you are computer saavy.
But trying to play one with arrow keys is the hardest thing you can possibly do
Works great, but the input lag makes wired controllers superior.
Works great, but the input lag makes wired controllers superior.
I use this product with my Wireless XBOX 360 Controllers on my Linux Mint PC to play games on Steam as well as with various Emulators
This is hands down the best Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for PC, you simply plug it and sync with controller, i was done in 2 minutes and there is no input lag at all
Works same as, OUTLIVED the 'Official MS" reciever that came w/ original 'Xbox360 for PC' controller.
I looked through reviews and tried what other people claimed worked for them, but nothing helped mine
Make sure you're using a good powered USB 2.0 port on your motherboard.... sometimes I wonder if people are having problems because its not getting enough power, or are trying to use USB 3.0
I've seen that some people had problems with drivers with this and other knockoff receivers, but for me there was ZERO setup needed
Apparently people had issues with the receiver on Vista and XP, but seriously, if you are still using Vista by now, just kill yourself, or catch up to the rest of mankind
Mine was an authentic Microsoft product--it sounds like some people are getting knock-offs, so check yours when it arrives
Had to get the right software from the Microsoft website since the disk was a bit outdated but no big hassle, once downloaded and installed my controllers synced right up
took a bit to install from a to z, but totally worth it
One person claims this device will not work with windows 7 64 bit
I saw some reviews of other similar products, so I was a bit skeptical of this one, but I shouldn't have worried
At first i was a bit skeptical about buying a third party receiver, but my experience was better than imagined
A lot of reviewers seem to say that they received knock offs
Apparently there are a ton of knock offs being sold, but this appears to be the official receiver by Microsoft
But be careful thought their is a lot of rip off sellers selling imitation knock offs.
Other products that are knock offs of this do not perform like this item
Just remember that different vendors sell this product, which can be viewed here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000HZFCT2/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=newAs a result of this, one vendor might be selling the actual Microsoft receiver, but others might be selling knock offs.
I personally like being able to screencast my game onto the television, plug in this device and connect an Xbox 360 controller, and kick back on the bed to play the games I need it for - mostly Dark Souls and racing games
I used it to play Dark Souls and the experience has been flawless
I got it to play Dark Souls that I purchased from Steam
I came on here, saw some fantastic reviews and bought the receiver in a heart beat in order to play games like Dark Souls with ease on my PC
This allows me to play all the games that are not easily played with a keyboard or simply are not formatted for PCs, such as Dark Souls
