I’m thinking of purchasing a new fight stick but from what I’ve heard, 360 sticks generally work on PC platforms but over at amazon.com, I’m seeing fight sticks that apparently have platforms that either work on “Windows and xbox 360” or just “xbox 360”. The link above does not mention that a USB cable is provided for PC play, so I’m asking here for anyone who has experience with this controller, does it work on a PC?
yes xbox 360 controllers work on Windows
Does that mean that all xbox 360 controllers will work on windows? So the controller in the link will work on windows despite not mentioning windows in platforms?
The wired USB Xbox 360 controllers will work plug and play on Win XP, Vista, Win & and Win 8. Win 98 will need drivers to be downloaded.
Wireless controllers require the wireless adapter Micosoft sells for PC use, the adapter is Xbox 360 branded.
All of the Hori Real Arcade Pro arcade sticks are wired controllers, and their PS3 and Xbox 360 arcade sticks come with a USB cable that is wired firmly to the controller.
Amazon links do not always mention all aspects as Xbox 360 controllers are original intended for the Xbox 360 and not other platforms but Microsoft went out of there way to make sure all Licensed Xbox 360 controllers work with the PC.
I was terribly unsure of how these things work so, thank you so much for the information.
