Official Xbox 360 Common Controller for Windows - Black (PC)

Product Information

The controllers are metallic red with a black "Infected Omen" symbol and feature a transforming D-pad. A standard Xbox 360 controller features eleven digital buttons, two analog triggers, two analog sticks and a digital D-pad. The Wireless Gaming Receiver (sold as "Crossfire Wireless Gaming Receiver" in the UK) allows wireless Xbox 360 accessories, such as wireless gamepads, racing wheels and headsets, to be used on a Windows-based PC.

The wired and wireless versions are also compatible with Microsoft PC operating systems, such as Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11. Unlike the "Transforming D-pad" Special Edition controller, the Gears of War 3 LCE controller features the standard colored face buttons and analog stick tops found on other controllers. Although many PC video games support the XInput library, some games might not work with this controller. Wireless controllers also feature an additional "connect" button located between the "bumpers" to facilitate syncing with the console.The Xbox 360 controller is designed for Microsoft Xbox 360 and Windows PC gaming systems and experience the comfort of the new Xbox 360 wired controller. You can also learn how to tell which year and week a 360 controller was manufactured by looking at the last 3 digits of a controller serial( tips section).

The Chatpad connects to the front of the controller and may be used for any standard text input on the console. The Xbox 360 controller provides a standard USB Human interface device software interface, but is designed for the Microsoft XInput interface library.The "Guide" (more commonly known as simply the "Xbox") button is labelled with the Xbox logo, and is used to turn on the console/controller and to access the guide menu. The red controller is also included with the Limited Edition Resident Evil 5 Xbox 360 Elite console released in March 2009. The controller also features new concave analog stick tops and grey tone face buttons (A, B, X and Y). It can start to work as long as it is connected rather than long time waiting for receiving web signal. It was sold with the Gears of War 3 LCE console bundle, which came bundled with two of the controllers.

The left and right "shoulders" each feature a digital shoulder button, or "bumper", and an analog trigger. The black panel at the front of the controller also features "wiring" artwork, resembling the parts of C-3PO that are not covered in gold plating in the original Star Wars films. The wired controllers may be connected to any of the USB ports on the console, or to an attached USB hub. It is an alternative to disposable AA batteries, which differ slightly in voltage and have higher disposal costs (financial and environmental).The right face of the controller features four digital action buttons: a green button, red button, blue button, and yellow button.

Orange coloured LIVE TURNS FIVE controllers were released in November 2007, and were given away to selected members of the media. Xbox 360 controllers released on November 22nd, 2005(US) alongside the console, and the latest year I have found for controller manufacture dates is 2017(possibly only for PC, console retail controllers most likely ended in 2016).Retail controllers are grouped by year in the navigation menu above and also in categories with separating colours. It was sold with the Modern Warfare 3 Limited Edition console bundle which came bundled with two of the controllers. Halo 4 branded "Limited Edition" 'exclusive controllers inspired by the game' were sold with the Halo 4 Limited Edition console bundle; two were included. The Rechargeable Battery Pack is a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack, which provides up to 24 hours of continuous gaming for the wireless controller. The lower right houses the right analog stick, in lower left is a digital D-pad and on the left face is the left analog stick.
