Hey i have new black wireless xbox 360 joypad not much used (i bought it a week ago). And i notice that it is really hard to play with it, for example if i play with digital it sometimes push up when i push right etc. It is better played with analog but still making moves with keyboard is much much easier. I don't think i was able to win one single match with the controller... i have with keyboard thought. Just FYI.

I think that the xbox 360 controller is known for having the worst dpad in gaming history.

this. even third party xbox like controllers have a better d-pad (logitech chillstream for one).

you're best off getting a PS3 controller and connecting it to PC, or getting a 3rd party PS3-like controller, lots of nice ones out there

I was excited about the device until I saw the price. ridiculously expensive for what the damn gamepad should have been in the first place
