was wondering what wireless controller for the PC everyone here uses and recommends.....post up!
 
I use a keyboard/mouse, but I've been meaning to snag an xbox 360 controller. Does anybody know if the wireless 360 controller works seemlessley?
 
i had the wired one...till it broke.....im just looking for a good wireless non moded one at the moment
 
The wireless Xbox 360 controller cannot currently be used with the PC. That said, the wired one works great, but I really don't know about wireless PC gamepads.
 
Wireless 360 controller doesn't work on the PC right now, even with the USB (the cord doesn't carry data). MS said they'll eventually release an adapter, but it hasn't been mentioned in months.

It's wired, but the nyko airflo is the only one I've had much success with...but like every other PC gamepad, the d-pad is a flight hat...which is useless.

Ebay, or at least thats what I did, I got the joybox13 one, it was like 10$ shipped.
 
I think there should be a sticky in every section stating "The Wireless Xbox 360 controller CANNOT be used on a PC".
 
I use my Logitech Rumblepad 2. Pretty sure there's a wireless version of it, so bleh. :p

I bought it at the beginning of last year's baseball season to play MVP 2005. So basically exactly a year. My friend bought one as well a few months later, so he's probably been using his for about 8 months, and I bought the wired non-rumble version for like $15 about 6 months ago. No problems with any of them. I'd highly recommend any of Logitech's gamepads....based on my experience with 3 of them.

I would try to get yours replaced by Logitech if I were you.
 
ps2 controller off a usb adaptor.

My wireless logitech ps2 controller works flawlessly off it too, i like it much better than any pc gamepad i've seen avaliable.
 
PS2 controller w/USB adapter. Use it in action games and racing games.

Logitech is fucking awesome when it comes to customer support, drop them a line. I spent 10 minutes on the phone with them and they sent me a brand new MX1000 and let me keep the old one. Now i just have to get the lazer working and i'll have two!
 
1. logi's customer support is fantastic when covering products. never had a problem with them replacing a dead keyboard or mouse. they dont even ask you to send the old one back.

2. to stay on topic, i use a 360 controller to fly the chopper in BF2. takes some getting use to, but makes more sense to me than kb/mouse or joystick

I use a Logitech Marble Mouse with my left hand and an Ergodex DX1 with my right hand.

I'm left handed.

Here a pic of the DX1:
