Will a 360 pad plug straight into a PC?

I have vista and noticed that it looks like it will any one confirm this?

Devia Eleven · May 21, 2009

Yes.

I never thought about that. Edited...

He's definitely talking about 360 controller.

So from him and you, I assume there is something I am missing. I should look into this. Sounds interesting!

the wired 360 pads will plug directly in. they are just standard USB. windows will download the driver and you are good to go.

If its wireless theres also a converter that works pretty well.

Lot of people use 360 pads on thier PCs. Both Rainbow Six Vegas games on the pc have setup menus specifically for the 360 controller.

Yeah, i was thinking about emulation to be honest Yoshis island and street fighter two turbo here I come!

I dont actually have a 360 but my cousin does he might lend me a pad none of his games are two player.

It's surprising how useful XBOX 360 controllers can be with emulators in mind.

It matches up perfectly with the PSX button layout, good stuff.
