can you use an Xbox controller for a PC?
I ask because I have just bought PES 2008 (pc edition) but my controller which I bought from GAME doesn’t use the regular buttons to operate the game e.g X is for through ball.
Will I have more sucess with a Xbox controller?
Yes, the Xbox 360 controller can be used in Windows (XP SP2 or later, incl. Vista).
The connector for a Wired XBox 360 controller is a standard USB 2.0 connector and can be plugged in and will be recognised by Plug & Play (Windows Update will install the latest drivers the next time you run it).
For an Xbox 360 Wireless controller you need a ‘Receiver’ – basically a USB Dongle that plugs into your PC to communicate correctly with XBox Wireless Equipment.
Most newer PC action / sports games (and all Games for Windows titles) should have support for the XBox 360 Controller Layout. I believe PES 2008 has a controller profile already for the the Controller.
Older Games that you can ‘remap’ your Controller can be used to remap to buttons on the XBox Controller – but some of the buttons (e.g. the Triggers) may not be possible to assign to functions.
Microsoft do sell a packaged "XBox 360 Controller for Windows" – but this is just a bog standard XBox 360 controller with the Windows drivers on CD – just buying a standard 360 controller and plugging it in, then going to Windows Update does the same thing – and is much easier to find.
It is the same layout as a computer game controler. You may need a port to plug it into. good luck with it

I don’t think you can because it used a non-bluetooth 2.4GHz connection – it’s all proprietary standards.
Can you re-map the buttons on the PC controller – there’s normally some options in the game to do this….
