360 Wireless Controller: Overview

During the GC, Microsoft showed the Cross-Platform control for both the PC and Xbox 360. It looks like your run of the mill Xbox 360 controller–except no wires. Yaay!

So what does it do then? It’s got a 2.4 Ghz high-performance wireless tech that’ll allow you to control the game from 30 feet away (hope you have a binocular when you do this). It works for the Xbox 360 and Windows-XP-based PCs (You just need one controller for both machines, cool!). It’s got a Vibration Feedback system as well (Good for massaging your tired hands). Ergonomic! Comfortable–ensures you play the game longer than on any other gaming platform. It’s also integrated with a headset jack for Xbox Live play.

We’ve personally tried it and we even went as far as 15 feet and it still works! Sorry, the room wasn’t that large enough to try 30 feet. The handling was easy, pretty light for a wireless controller. Vibrations are present, although it depends on the game. It’s not that complicated to turn it on, just push on the X button in the middle of the controller and you’re in!
 
Overall, the lesser wires in the game room, the better!
