Xbox 360 wireless controller + Vista

If you have Vista and play games then you need this controller. Works perfect without the need of installing drivers or gamepad/game configuration. Finally an easy care-free gamepad for Windows! Remember not to install the CD that comes with this controller if you have Vista. I've had this controller for over a month now and it works perfectly. Take note that the batteries go fairly quickly.

Not compatible with various games such as Call of Duty 4 for PC

I bought this product from amazon and it's the same controller that comes with the XBOX 360 with the addition of a wireless transmitter/receiver that plugs into a USB port. But here's the problem: I can't get it to work with various games on my PC. It works completely fine with the Orange Box on PC. But when i tried it with Oblivion for PC, the game wouldn't recognize the control sticks (joysticks), which makes it useless. And as for Call of Duty 4 on PC, it would not recognize my controller at all which really ticked me off. I'm running Windows Vista 32 bit on a top of the line desktop computer i recently built, so it's not a hardware issue. it's an issue of the games not recognizing the controller. I even downloaded and installed the most recently updated software for this controller from windows, but no dice. The controller still will not detect on COD4, and the control sticks still do not work with Oblivion. hope this review was helpful for any potential buyers

Misleading product description

The controller works great. However, it didn't come with a recharge cable as indicated in the Product Description above. On the box itself and in the included documentation it never mentions the recharge cable being included, so the fault seems to lie on Amazon.

Also, having more time to use the controller with more games, its precision is a bit more questionable than other standard controllers I have used.
