Description: Just a normal Xbox gamepad. In order to connect it to your PC, you have to make your own adaptor. There's a guide here that gives all the info you need. It's easy to make. It only took me about fifteen minutes total, counting the time it took for me to hunt down a USB cord to hack up.

You can also buy adaptors that work with it. Overall it works pretty well except that there is no force feedback at the moment, so it isn't as good as other devices with force feedback that you can get for the same price. I'm not a big fan of the style of the controller anyway, even the new model is too big and ugly.
