Wireless Xbox controller

stemanic · 05-02-2008, 08:35 AM

Before i start i'd like to warn you that while i like PC gaming i'm not terribly savvy regarding PC's in general - so please go easy - no abbreviations !!!

That said i bought an xbox 360 wireless controller for windows to try it out, i would really like to use this. I installed the software no issue, so when i loaded a game, say bioshock which i'm playing at the moment, I had to set all the Key Bindings to the new controller - a laborious task that i hope doesn't need to be done for all games. The result was good though.

So my questions are - 1) is there an easy way of setting up the controller,
2) can or should the games not pick up the controller automatically? and 3)never having played a console game is there an "optimised" set up for the controller. maybe guys in console gaming could help here.

Hope you guys can shed some light.
Regards
