Xbox 360 Controller coming to a PC near you.

Aaron — Wed, 07 Sep 2005 08:11:18 +0000

So looks like Microsoft is going to making an exact copy of its Xbox 360 controller for the PC. Not much to change really seeing as they are both USB. I’m not sure what to make of this news, I guess it could be good for all the people out there playing RPG’s and Adventure games on your PC. But I think PC gamers have become so used to using the Keyboard Mouse combo that I don’t really see this taking off at all. Ohwell I guess it can’t hurt.
