i got this because i love the xbox 360 controller and wanted one for windows. however the disc itself does not have any device driver so just install the software and for the receiver itself follow these steps and the device will be recognised. this is if you are using windows 7 64 bit it took me about 4 hours to find out how to do this so make sure you follow the steps.

Does exactly what you would expect, it allows you to connect up to 4 Xbox360 controllers and headsets at once to play games on your PC. Installation was a doddle, although there are no Vista drivers on the supplied disk you can force the XP drivers and they work fine, or download the Vista drivers from Microsoft's site.
Pros - playing PC games with a wireless controller made easy as pie
Cons - No supplied Vista drivers, but they are still easy to get hold of
Final thoughts - if you want to use your 360 pads for PC gaming, look no further

I bought one of these from Curry's for £14.99 as I like the xbox 360 controller for playing racing games and more recently the excellent shooter Lost Planet on my pc. I usually use a keyboard and mouse for shooters but this game works very well using the 360 controller. Fortunately I didnt manage to damage the receiver when opening the extremely difficult to get into packaging and setup was a doddle - plug into a spare USB port, install the driver that comes on the CD ,press the button on top of the receiver and the green light flashes, press the little receiver button on your wireless controller ( turn the pad on first, ahem! ) and 2 seconds later it connects and away you go. You do need to go through the same procedure when using with your 360 as the pad locks onto whichever device you're using ie the receiver or the 360 console. Great idea for not alot of your hard earned !

Works really well, I have an original Xbox 360 controller (purchased the day the 360 came out) and works flawlessly. Been playing Bioshock on big screen from PC with ease. Read more

Does what it says.
This item does exactly what it is described as doing. I cannot fault it so far, so its worthy of 5 stars. Setup is as simple as synching a controller with an xbox normally.
