billcom6 11/22/20 3:06:21 PM #1:	I use a wired 360 controller now, and it works fine no real problems, but switching it back and forth between my 360 and PC is annoying (yes I still play 360 often), and I know there are better options. All I really care about is compatability (I play both older and new games on my PC) and I want it to be able to be wired (don't want to worry about batteries and charging) if needed.
