with that said since it always is the wire that is an issue i feel i should get a wireless controller and maybe it will last more then a yr. But I have no clue really about them.
A friend of mine told me ps3 controllers work on laptops and to get those as they are much higher quality. How is it that they work? Ive yet to actually play a ps3 and never looked at the new controllers lol.... Do they work off usb or something or is it bluetooth? My friend said its purely wireless no connection and thats kinda vague. He said I would need to DL a driver, not sure what that means either..... can you tell im not to tech savvy lol?
Anyhow what are your recommendations for a wireless controller for a pc gamer? I also need one that isnt purely battery driven.. is that even possible? Something that can charge off usb connection or some other way then pumping 2 batteries a week into it (i play ffxi alot). What do yall use currently?
