USB controller for use with PC gaming. I have one of these - paid around $20 for it probably 6 months ago when my previous Razer controller packed it in. This controller is far cheaper than an Xbox or similar but I have to say, while it's a bit of a different feel I've been very happy with it.

I've not encountered any games it won't work with out of the box (provided they support Xbox 360 gamepad input).

This is the cheapest I've seen this controller - typically runs $20-$30 on special. Enjoy!

      At $11, I'm not sure if you can get an XBOX/PS3 controller.

      • bunkymag on 25/06/2014 - 09:49

        And if you only game on PC, it's irrelevant. If you have a PS / Xbox, you likely already have a controller for them..

          If you already have an XBOX you most likely have the wireless controller which can't work on PC without a wireless receiver (like $12 from dx.com). PS3 controllers though you can plug in with USB cable or use a $2 bluetooth adapter.

        Good for playing old school SNES/Genesis console emulation on PC, which I use with an older Logitech model.

      • dhie20 on 25/06/2014 - 11:32

        I got preowned XBOX 360 for $7 from EB and I'm happy with it. I can use it on my PC PS2 emulator as well as Xbox 360 itself.

        however, it's out of stock atm, but you can try to your local store
        https://www.ebgames.com.au/xbox360-135949-Xbox-360-Wired-Con…

      • kermuffle on 25/06/2014 - 12:39

        yeah it's way cheaper, but i find the d-pad on this controller useless for fighting games like street fighter.

    • AlienC on 25/06/2014 - 11:00

      probably a stupid question but I have a ps3 controller (which has the detachable micro-usb slot/port/cable that connects via usb to the ps3) does this mean it is wireless, I mean does this mean I can play/connect with it to the pc either through wired and/or wireless options, and if so how? is it as simple as plug and play like I hear the xbox 360 controllers are? if not, what are the steps to get it working with a pc/laptop, if anyone knows?

      also can I connect two (more than one, if I only have 2 usb 2.0 slots and 1 usb 3.0 slots on this laptop)

      thanks for any replies/help in advanced on the subject.

      really looking at getting a couple of these now while they're cheap for some fun local co-op/party play but if i already have some readily available working solutions at home now then maybe I shouldn't bother with buying these.

      although I do like the feel of the xbox 360 controllers

      • samfisher5986 on 25/06/2014 - 11:03

        You can connect ps3 controllers but you need extra software, I think it might be called DS3 or something I can't remember.

      • twig on 25/06/2014 - 11:17

        I've written two guides, one for using the xbox 360 controller on PC and one for using the PS3 controller on PC.

        The controllers have survived multiple Castle Crasher sessions without any problems. The guides should be easy enough to follow.

        • johnno07 on 25/06/2014 - 11:34

          Getting either of them to work is such a sh*tfight - but these are lovely clear guides! Well done :)

          Thanks twig! This is exactly what I was looking for!

          Just got both BattleBlock Theater and Castle Crashers in the Can't Stop Laughing Bundle when it hit 90% and this will be a great help in getting them both up and working with my PS3 controllers. The guides were much appreciated and easy to follow/understand.

    No vibration feedback / rumble on this it seems?

    • MustResistPurchase on 25/06/2014 - 10:14

      When buying used goods from EB Games, ask if you can look at them. Just give it a quick check over to make sure all the buttons and analog sticks work. Saves the trouble of having to come back again if you find a button stuck or inoperable.

    • SpaceInvader112 on 25/06/2014 - 10:28

      Even when the preowned controllers are "in stock" according to the website, calling local stores always gives the response that they are "rare" and not in stock anywhere. However you might get lucky, as I managed to buy two of them for under just under $20 each a couple of years back.

      • FaceOfMutiny on 25/06/2014 - 10:41

        Yeah it's hard to find the wired 360 controllers these days. I found one for an arcade stick mod and managed to destroy it and had to hack one of my madcatz fightpads instead because I couldn't find another cheap one easily(which ended up being way easier but they cost more).

  • montorola on 25/06/2014 - 10:16

    Dumb question - but is this a precision controller?

    Meaning that if you tilt the joystick a little bit, the character on screen walks, if you tilt the joystick all the way, the character runs. Is that how it is?

    • FaceOfMutiny on 25/06/2014 - 10:42
      +9

      Yeah that is what the analog sticks are for

    • johnno07 on 25/06/2014 - 11:41
      +5

      By definition, that what analog sticks do. A digital input (like most d-pads) is an on/off input (not pressed = 0, pressed = 1). An analog input (like analog sticks) has a range of values (not tilted = 0, tilted full = 1, tilted halfway = 0.5, tilted one third = 0.33333 etc). I'm sure there are some digital joysticks out there (read cheap POS), but they certainly aren't common and this Logitech gamepad definitely has analog sticks.

          I had both this and XBox 360 controller for PC. This one is not as precise as the XBox controller when it comes to 360 degree controlling (I play FIFA). For example, when you are running straight, changing the direction a small degree like 5-10 doesn't work most of the time. So if you really care about exact precision, this isn't your best bet.

          $11 is a great price thou.

  • serin on 25/06/2014 - 10:19

  • darpy01 on 25/06/2014 - 10:19

    I have had one of these for the past two years and have never encountered a problem with any game.

    I have never played my xbox360 so I don't know their controllers, but this feels more like a ps3.
    Was tempted to get one for a second player to use when streaming steam to my TV, but will use my 360 controller for them

    • SKiZO on 25/06/2014 - 13:36

      What do you mean by, "never played my xbox360"?
      Do you use it as a pillow?

      • darpy01 on 25/06/2014 - 15:08
        +1

        I mean I brought it with gears of war triple pack, played the tutorial for the game and got stuck behind a rock after a few minutes (glitch), got annoyed and turned it off

        Didn't play it for another 2 years, playing ps3 instead. Then went to try again and the DVD drawer was broken, it wouldn't eject and the game is stuck inside. Hence, I heave never really played it, total waste of money

        • Windows7forever on 26/06/2014 - 08:49

    Note - the free shipping on this item carried across to a bunch of batteries I was just about to order which would normally have incurred a £4.95 shipping cost.

    On checkout I had $0 shipping cost for the whole order so can view this controller as a $6.98 purchases given I was ordering the batteries anyway.

    • WhyAmICommenting on 25/06/2014 - 10:44

  • peterpaoliello on 25/06/2014 - 10:56

    just a heads up only the F710, XBOX360 wired and wireless controllers officially work with Steam Big Picture.. It is true there is 3rd party drivers for other controllers such as PS3 but i have not been able to get them working. Great for the price no doubt but if you are using W7 machine the Microsoft products (XBOX) have by far the best driver support as you would expect. I got my PC enabled XBOX controller for about $37 from JB.

    • samfisher5986 on 25/06/2014 - 11:05
      +1

      Any xbox based controllers will work including the F310.

      3rd party controllers such as PS3 or PS4 should work fine in xbox 360 emulation mode.

    • bunkymag on 25/06/2014 - 16:08

      Just tested my F310 - works 100% with Big Picture, no drivers / etc required. I've not run into anything it's not been compatible with thus far in PC gaming across a couple hundred titles on Steam.

    I replaced my one of these for a Xbox 360 controller instead. The deadzones on this thing are huge. Playing platformers or the like are fine but trying to play any kind of simulation racing game that requires very small movements wasn't fantastic and I found it quite jerky.

    Those controllers are made more better than logitech brand…
    is more precise, etc..
