Is there a PC controller that behaves exactly like an Xbox 360/PC Windows Controller? [closed]
So, do you specifically not want a Microsoft controller?
Other companies make an xbox 360 compatible controller. They use the same drivers, so it works well for the PC
- Razer Onza
- Logitech Chillstream
- PDP Afterglow
- MadCatz: Modern Warfare 2 - Black, Modern Warfare 2 - Snow, White / Black, Various NFL Teams, Street Fighter IV Fightpads
- Hori Controllers
But if you do want Microsoft-brand controls that work for the PC, there are wired
- Wired Windows
- Wired Xbox
and wireless
- Wireless Windows
solutions for the PC.
Any of those should behave identically to the XBox controller.
If you can manage to get your hands on a
- Wireless Gaming Receiver
Any wireless Xbox 360 compatible controllers (even those made by third parties) should work fine and behave identically to the original controller.
I take it that your friend is aware that there is also a wired version of the PC 360 controller, which is much cheaper than the wireless version?

This is an emulator that allows any controller to function as and appear as a 360 controller. I've had success with it, but make sure it works for you before you go out and buy 4 usb controllers.
