Xbox 360 gamepad for PC.

wired for 1.5k and wireless for 2.5k approx.

[confused]

^^ok thanks.... any cheaper option??

[desiibond]

logitech one for some 700 bucks.

[confused]

^^do you personally think its worth in investing in a XBOX controller?? considering its double the price of logitech??

[desiibond]

yes. I do!!

It works with most of the games and I do feel that it's better than Logitech's.

Yes it will work. Both are the same controllers (Xbox 360 & the Xbox 360 controller for Windows). All you need to do is download the drivers for the controller from Microsoft's official website & you're good to go.

^^ Make sure that the controller has USB plug if it's wired controller.
afaik, they come with USB by deafault and have USB to serial port converter attached to the controller.

[confused]

^^is there a serial port to usb converter available??

To be honest, I have never seen a Xbox 360 controller with a serial port converter attached to it. Even if there is one, it should be detachable. USB is the default for the 360 controller. So you shouldn't have any issue.
