Xbox 360 controller worth it?

Yes.

Depends, are there any games that you want that has controller support?

I'm thinking about getting one as well.

Yes I would say it is. You have to check on the side bar on the games store page to see if it is controller supported. But the controller is mostly used for hack and slash games like DMC. It also helps with games designed specifically for consoles and has a terrible port

So far for me, yes. Helped me with Rogue Legacy, Spelunky, and Dark Souls.

I have a logitech one and it works just as well.

In your case it might be a better idea to get a Logitech F510 if you're ok with that sort of style. It can do both DInput (the old controller method) and XInput (the new controller method from the 360 controller) so it should work with any and all games you have. Unlike the 360 controller which is more for games of the last 5 or so years and won't quite work with everything, especially older stuff, as a result).

If money was less of an issue and the XOne controller wasn't coming in 2014 I'd say go right ahead, but thanks to those two things I think the F510 would be a better fit.

Xbox controller is pretty much an unspoken requirement for some games. Like in gta for example, flying the helicopter at the end of the game is straight up impossible with keyboard and mouse unless you have a minimum of 3 hands.

yeah just use joytokey super easy unless you have nothing better to spend your birthday money on.

What's the name and/or model of the controller?

I have an xbox360 and 2 computers and some other devices and they all have an xbox controller plugged in, what else to say?

Late happy birthday

Official Xbox 360 controller:

• Plug & play
• No need to use JoyToKey
• Probably some of your friends have one so you can play at their homes without bring your own
• No need to manually configure controls
• Do no risk your money on an unofficial gamepad. If you tried the official one you know it's ergonomic and comfy
• supports vibration

Yeah it's worth it

Worth every cent

I would say yes. I have one, use it for a fair amount of games. ( not all of course )

Also.. if you have a 360, it would allow you to use it for that as well of course. If you get the wired one like I did.. then well, you wont have to bother with batteries either.

I used to buy a lot of cheap controllers, then I got a Xbox 360 controller for PC and I gotta say it's great!

Yes!

I heartily endorse this service and/or product.

Wireless XBOX 360 controller is quite good, the only bad thing it has is the D-Pad which is not that great, rest of it jus great.

id say yeah it is

Yes wired xbox360 controller works great on most of the pc games that take it plus if you have a 360 it doubles for that console too plus cheaper than the silly wireless ones.

I had an official Xbox 360 wired controller years ago and it worked well on PC games, especially GTA 4. Had to get a new one after a while. The Madcatz controller I currently use for PC games also works good except the right trigger doesn't work anymore so I only use it on simple games that require less buttons (Super Meat Boy, Castle Crashers, etc.) Both are pretty good controllers, except Madcatz' start/back buttons are above the Guide button so it's out of the way sometimes.

I've been using x360ce with an old Nyko controller for years now. Works great with most everything. Occasionally I wonder if I should try something else that might have a better stick, but I can't justify the cost of a new controller versus $0 for just continuing to use the one that probably works just as well with a 1-2 minute one-time-per-game setup.

Edit: [redacted] There's a game incompatibility on the x360ce wiki that I thought was erroneous, but my controller just works with that game without needing x360ce in the first place.

It works on Valve games, you just have to activate them using the console. I've played 1000 hours of TF2 on my gamepad.

Totally.
