Xbox 360 controller on windows?

[Carl the Llama]

well you see I have just tried to use the controller on my computer and installed it correctly and everything but was wondering what I have to do to be able to use it on my games, I figured it was somthing to do with the controller options in my control panel, but I have no idea what sort of controller it is and how to configure it? can anyone please help me? thanks in advance

It really depends on if the game supports joypads using DirectInput. I'd imagine PSU does. If the controller installed itself correctly, you should just be able to go into the game's options and define your controls using the 360 controller.

When I was in the PSU beta they sent me a wired 360 controller and it worked pretty easily. I think all I did was plug it in. Maybe chose some option in PSU to use it or something.
