Would a wireless controller with a play n charge kit work with the PC psu?(I won a copy in the raffle and I would hate to have to play it with a keyboard)

I thought you could only hook wired 360 controllers up to PC? Not sure.

Well with the play n charge kit it would be just like a wired one.

play another game on your PC that has controller support and check if it works first http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

wireless 360 controllers don't play nice with PCs.

Wired ones are a snap though. It's what I use. The keyboard controls were assigned by a crackhead.

Yes, its the best pad for the job...
You can actually go about nicely in menus while on the move unlike the ps2 pad...
Download the unofficial Drivers and you'll be fine...
The official ones dont allow the real PSU controls to be mapped...

Here is the link for the unofficial drivers

The Wireless pad will also work if you buy a wireless reciever too

If you use the wireless adapter on PC you have two options to prevent it from overloading your USB ports.

First is that it is the only USB device you use that isn't externally powered.

Second, and far more appealing, is to use a powered USB hub to run it.

Before I found that out my wireless 360 controller receiver knocked out my mouse. Once I put it on a powered hub the issue was solved.

Why the jump from 360 to PC? You need a decent computer to run PSU at the level that 360 runs it.

Gum didn't specify if he/she was going to play it online on PC or not. Might be AOTI offline.
