The Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver is a nice accessory for your PC and is extremely convenient for Xbox 360 owners.

Installation couldn’t be easier: Just pop in the included CD, install the program, bind the controller to the receiver, and you are ready to play some games.  What it does for you is allow you to link up all your wireless Xbox 360 controllers, including gamepads, steering wheels,  headsets, etc. and use them with supported games on your PC.

A few problems do exist.  For one, the controller is not guaranteed to work with every game, and you may run into this problem often.  For example, games not compatible with gamepads will not work with the receiver.  Additionally, you cannot map the buttons to particular keys; you have to change them in the game and in some game, the left and right triggers don’t work as expected because they are the Z-axis controls instead.
