Hi

After reading a few threads i went and picked up a wireless xbox controller to use with xpadder and table ninja.

When got back to work i opened the box and found that there isn't a usb to plug into my computer.

The controller i brought came with play and charge kit. This does have a USB.

Do i need to buy a seperate adaptor or do i just use the play and charge kit?

thanks for any help.

You need this:

Or just get a wired controller

thanks jb

i found that out on the xpadder website as well.

seems to be tough to find them in a store in australia.

I dont think they are sold as a separate unit anymore. The new unit is called wireless controller for windows I think. Its the same as a normal xbox controller except it includes the usb dongle. Anyway the ps3 controller is a little tricky to set up assuming you go the wireless route, but the top buttons and triggers are so much easier to use. With the ps3 I simply rest both index fingers on top of the controller between the top button and the trigger and easily can hit the buttons never having to lift my fingers. But the xbox triggers are more like a trigger so you actually have to keep lifting moving your index fingers. If you dont have wrist problems its ok but if you do then it definitely fatigues your wrist much faster. Plus the xbox buttons on top and the triggers are a bit harder to depress.

Heres the ps3 instructions.

i managed to find one on ebay so hopefully that should turn up in the next day or so.
