Gaming Controller for PC

[umabeca]

I was interested to buy a controller for my computer like this (http://www.gearbest.com/game-controllers/pp_314652.html), but I do not know how to receive the controller signal, buying a bluetooth card will be possible to use the controller? A card like this will work? (http://www.gearbest.com/usb-gadgets/pp_132021.html)

Has anyone tried this yet?

u can basically use any controller that can be conncted with a cable

I would just get a wired or wireless xbox controller. It all connects via USB so you won't have any issues getting it set-up.

EDIT: Make sure you get the wireless receiver if you go the wireless route.

You can use Bluetooth, but that doesn't appear to be a legit XBox One controller.

On legit options, there are versions with & without Bluetooth.

For Wireless, there is the MS Xbox wireless adapter that'll help you achieve it.

The controller you have linked is a Xbox One controller and is not compatible with a PC.

There are Xbox controllers for PC and they come with a wireless receiver.

thats a fake xbox controller so its made for pc so u should be fine the quality is probably pretty bad

So what do you recommend me for a wireless pc controller?

Xbox 360 controllers work with Windows. There's also the steam controller, but it is far less intuitive than the 360.

i have a wired xbox360 controller

i hate the cable but i don't have to fight with batteries

for windows, the best option is a xbox controller, thanks to that all games expect the controller to have a a and a b, x, y, all the xbox buttons mapped that way

the controller you linked there is not the original on,e if you buy one original it will come with the wireless adapter

If you want wireless, I'd recommend the wireless Xbox 360 controller with this adapter: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/USB-Wireless-Gaming-Controller-Receiver-Adapter-For-Windows-PC-OE-Xbox-360-/262635730500?hash=item3d264f3644:g:qbQAAOSwh2xX~0tk

I have been using this for years now with Windows (7 and 10) and multiple controllers (up to four) and never had any problems with it.

+1 to this. I've used the same set-up for years with Win7/Win10 with no issues.

i do have the issue with the dpad on the controller, how to describe it? is a bad quality dpad

when compared to the dpad on the ps3, the ps3 wipes the floow with the xbox counterpart, being the same generation

a shame that the ps3 controller is not that easy to use and 100% guaranteed to work with steam games(sort of)

apart from a xbox, the only thing i would buy is a logitech one

but is a big big and heavy, is similar to the xbox in terms of support and quality
