Slippyblade:
I said it will connect, I didn't say it would map in a way that makes sense for our purposes.

The way your post was worded, you alluded to the fact that it would work.  I'm not trying to pick a fight, but reading your statement would make a person think you are saying any wireless 360 device would work on the pc, which is simply not the case.  "Connecting" as you put it, is not the same as working.

What you are saying, with all due respect, is outright wrong.  I mean I already gave an example (the old 360 wheel) that does NOT work on the pc.  Force-feedback is not supported and therefore it doesn't work.  What you'll find if you actually use this stuff is that most controllers that don't show up as a gamepad have crippled functionality at best. 


BadMouth:
Oddly enough and counter to what I first believed, having the accelerator and brake show up as one axis is the standard for PC games and emulators.
Most work with either.  Most older games only work with them combined.
The one oddball that requires separate pedals is M2emulator, which is probably the most important one.  :-\

I had my pedals set to separate and made Logitech profiles to switch it to combined when needed.
After setting up around 50 games and a half dozen emulators in one week, it's become clear to me that doing it the other way around would result in a lot less profiles being needed.

Um, not so.  Does the steering wheel turn the car in your game?  BAM!  Then it works.  Just because the FFB is pooched does not mean that the wheel doesn't work, it means the FFB doesn't work.  Amazingly enough, you turn the wheel, the computer recognizes a change in a control axis, you push the pedal, the same thing happens.  Just because it doesn't happen to map properly to the game you are playing in the way you want doesn't mean it's broken. 

Once upon a time, certain games would ONLY work with certain endorsed controllers.  That does not mean that every other controller is suddenly broken because they don't work in those games.  Oh, and by the way, "Technically works", by definition means "works".

Well Fed Games:
Eh, I ended up getting (a second) one. Realized that Forza 3 does split screen and has a turning-only accessibility mode my daughter (5) will probably love.
