Wireless 360 controller

[CaptainSlow]

A present request has come in for a wireless controller to be used on a PC.

I have received the link below as to what it is..

Now just doing some price research I have come across the following...

Can anyone advise if they are the same thing (apart from colour)?

I *think* the difference between those is that the first and most expensive one comes with a wireless dongle that you plug into the PC, as it specifies that it's for Windows.

The second one is for the Xbox only, which does not include this (since it has the wireless unit built-in as standard).

If you look at this link:

- this is the controller for the Xbox itself.

So, if you're buying it to be used on a PC, you need the first one, as you'll need the adapter.

there both the PC ones, so should come with all you need...

Lack of observation on my part, the second link does say for Windows, so they're both the same, apart from the colour :facepalm:.

I ordered this one http://www.ebuyer.com/product/188322

and it came with an adapter for Windows PC. Cheaper than PC world too.

ETA: Yep definitely comes with a receiver. Check the review. I got a receiver with mine too but they just don't mention it on the site.
