    Oh hey, I had no idea that existed. Thats even better than the PS2/XBox controller adapter I had.

    Awesome!

    Yes, I have never used it, but I have some friends on xbox live who have it and they said its great. I want to get it and try it out on some fps to see how I can hold up against a mouse/kb. Plus its annoying to always find a clear space for my mouse.

    Its says any wireless product. The only difference from the black and white controller is the casings. But you can only have the controller sync to one item at a time. Meaning If you got your controller link to your pc then you have to re-sync it back to the 360 to use it on the 360 again.

    Yes I agree that microsoft has perfected their controller. I like how you can use their wireless mic with the adapter. Now I'm sold on it.

    make sure you get the actual wireless adapter and not the play and charge kit. it was a widely spread misconception that the play n charge kit allowed you to play on the computer when in fact it doesnt.
