Looking for a cheap PC Xbox 360 controller. - Django - May 1, 2014

Hey everyone.

I'm looking for a cheap Xbox 360 PC controller (wired) so I can finally play Dark Souls 1 and 2. I only found fakes so far which is disappointing.

Thanks a lot!

I don't want a fake one because I'm afraid it might not work and they don't seem to be very good quality.

If you already have wireless controllers, then I recommend getting this instead.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OFFICIAL-MICROSOFT-PC-WIRELESS-GAMING-USB-RECEIVER-FOR-XBOX-360-CONTROLLER-/171102976603?pt=US_Other_Video_Game_Accessories&hash=item27d6883a5b

$12 and it'll allow you to use any wireless accessory.

Damn, that's awesome! I'll see if I can find it a bit cheaper!

You probably can, but that's a genuine Microsoft product. Any cheaper and you'll get a generic piece of crap.

EDIT: Just to mention...I can vouch for the product as well. I have on myself and it works great. I use my controllers and guitars with it.

I have a generic Chinese wireless receiver and have never had any problems,

It's more expensive than when I bought it though.

Basically the same price as the one I posted. The one I posted is genuine though.

I scored mine for $10 from someone on Se7ensins.

This is the exact one I bought a while ago, It works perfect. Only downside is that everytime my computer restarts I have to update the drivers which takes a minute. Mainly used it for guitar hero or whenever I was tired of using my wired controller that I got at walmart for 20 bucks.
