"I would only recommend this controller for casual gaming. If you are serious - pay the extra money.

I play a LOT of games, but primarily using a mouse + keyboard combo. I bought this controller to play GTA4.

However: THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME WITH THE CONTROLER ARE WRONG. DO NOT FOLLOW THEM TO INSTALL IT - IT WILL NOT WORK.

Here is how to properly connect it for Windows XP and Vista:

1. Place the USB connecter in a USB drive.

2. Turn the controller on

3. Press the connect button on the USB drive.

4. Press the PS button on the controller

5. Hold the Select Button and Left Analog button Down (you can actually press it down in the centre, like a button).

What should happen after that is they should both blink a few times and then stop and the usb light should be a stable green glow.

If you then want to calibrate it, use "Control Panel" under your Start menu in Windows and go to "Game Controllers".

Radioshack should pay me for this!"

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
