Official Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver For Windows (Xbox 360)

Excellent with Windows 7 64bit Pc. Downloaded the drives for the Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller and it was quick efficient and easy to get the correct driver software. Then plugged the Official Xbox Wireless Gaming Receiver into a USb3 port and Microsoft Windows 7 Operating system checked found any other software and drivers required and installed them quickly efficiently. So next after it had done this and said the device was ready pressed the sync buttons on both the Xbox 360 Wireless Control and the Wireless Gaming Receiver and in a matter of seconds the two were paired with perfection and on playing a game(Bioshock was the game I tested it with)all the controls works flawlessly and I didn't have to keep re syncing both the products just did it once when the game was loaded and the game I was playing gave me the option to use the Xbox 360 control which I did and played for hours with no problems. So far so good it seems to be a quality Microsoft Official Product. Easy to use,Fairly Easy to set up and the product seems well made. Has adequate cable length of a good 2M or more didn't measure the cable as it seemed suitably nice and long from device to USB port and when you have finished using the device for gaming you can unplug it from the USB Port and as the Xbox 360 control stays on just unplug the batteries so the control doesn't remain powered up and using the batteries power. As long as you plug the receiver into the same USB port no problems should occure on next time you use the Wireless Receiver. A true worth while purchase if you already own a Xbox 360 Wireless Control or controls. Also very worth while buying if you own a Xbox 360 with Xbox 360 Wireless Gamepads and want to use these for gaming on a Pc. Product does what it says and delivers with no unwanted driver software costs,registration of product which is tedious(and the product registration for guarantee purpose should be separate and never hinder use of any device)as it should be,unlike with lesser hardware device manufacturers for Windows Pc's.

When it comes to PC gaming, the mouse and keyboard are perceived as one of two things 1.) the only tool that works 2.) The best tool for gaming. However they are not the sharpest tools in the shed when it comes to specific genres of games which include racing, fighting and a far share of platformers. Bring in a stereotypical controller like the one for Xbox 360 and these games will work better.To get it to work, plug the adapter into a computer running Windows Xp or later (I happen to be using Windows 10), sync up a wireless controller by pressing the sync buttons and then start Steams Big Picture mode or a game with native/modded support for the Xbox 360 controller and now you can play on your PC as if it was a console, except you can get more that 1080p and 60FPS running on higher settings than a console can produce, plus I haven't even noticed any latency between pressing a button and the character on screen taking action. Tip: Also works well with gaming on the sofa.If you were thinking "Its cheaper to just get the play and charge kit so that a wireless controller works." That unfortunately won't work as you still need the adaptor for a 'wireless' controller. I have also found it is better than using the PS4 controller as with that controller, you have to work with some clunky drivers. This adaptor is what I consider the perfect plug and play solution, especially if you are new to PC gaming or want to do some local multiplayer on the same computer. If its not working just download some drivers from Microsoft's download centre and follow the instructions (Windows 8/8.1/10 users: get the Windows 7 drivers, run that in compatibility mode and go through the installer)When buying this product through Amazon, just carefully pick a seller and please understand the fact that this adaptor was available as a bundle with the Xbox 360 controller so it could fail to come with its original packaging as they have to separate it from the controller, even if advertised as new (it still is new through).Overall in satisfied that I only had to plug it in and let it do its job whilst I plugged an HDMI cable into the computer and the TV so I can play on my computer as if it was a console
