[SOLVED] Wireless xbox controller for PC

[stemanic]

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.

Hope you guys can shed some light.
Regards

I belive that should take care of two of your problems. I don't know really just a quick search on google since i don't have a XBOX 360 controller but according to the description it should help.

But then again there is some games that is made for the controller like Lost Planet but that is a terrible game... So i guess that this is the only advice i can give is downloading that

Hi again, I found this and would like a second opinion on it before I purchase, I have downloaded the trial version and it seems to work OK. Any thought would be appreciated and thanks for your time so far,

I've since installed and purchased this Application and quite frankly its the B's Knees.
No hassle for under 15 euro - couldn't say no.
