Did You Know?
You can make an XBox controller work with your computer? Just take off that small connector, cut off the end of the controller cord, get a USB cord thats laying around, cut one end off of that, match the wires together... you got yourself a controller for your computer!
Saw this on G4TV

How do you set up the drivers for it? I got a Microcon lying around.

The USB port/connector use the same protocol as the xbox controller
 EvoX and other Xbox hacks and mods ustilize this for kybrds/mice... |

Indeed, and some websites offer a hacked version of the xbox controller that has the USB plug built right in; all is good

Ya just match the colors... I think theres a yellow wire that one of the cords doesnt have, you can just leave that out.

I'd go with first party (Best quality) They're like 30 bones in Bestbuy. You pay more, but you get the quality....It would'nt be good to finally finish the project and your stuck with poor quality....

The Mad Catz controller isn't the best... I own one, its okay, but the anolog is not very tight (Like the first parties,which i love) and the D Pad is a little loose.....But your saving 10 dollars.......
