Why anyone would want to use a controller on the PC is beyond me. Unless the game is a really bad console port, I guess.

Racing or sports games are much better with a gamepad.  Some other games as well.

Sports games, probably. But for racing, I'd go with a Logitech G27

I use my Rumblpad2 for third person game like the Assassins Creed games, Tomb Raider, and side-scrolling games like Mark of the Ninja (which is an excellent game,) and indie games that Steam has. Though my rumbie is on it's last legs, and I've been waiting for better drivers for the xbone controller. There have been 'unofficial' drivers since the bone was released, but they were wonky.

Thanks, T.

Frankly, I'd prefer a Ps3 or PS4 controller, but PC games are more friendly to the xbox controller. Plus it seems the newest Logitech controllers have some glaring flaws.

Edit: oh, still no wireless support. Booooo.

I use xbox controller for racing games. Also some games like watch dogs which has driving and running around which I use the keyboard when not in a car. It also comes in useful in other games

I may have to just try this in BF4 for the flying aspect.  I have had trouble with that part of the game while utilizing the keyboard...maybe this would help?!?!?

Hey taz I found it made flying easier but I could not aim for my life using the controller but I suspect that would come in time
