Genuine Wireless Gaming Receivers will have "Microsoft" Inscribed instead of "XBOX 360" *However many companies selling these online are using stock photos of the "XBOX 360" labed one.

I am requesting a citation from a member of the XBOX Product Group

Non geniune XBOX 360 Wireless Gaming Receivers are not supported

Syncing your wireless controller:

Connecting a Wired 360 Headset:

Modifing a headset to fit into your controller:

If you can find a adapter that will take two analog 3.5mm input jacks and make them mono it is likely you will be able to use ANY analog headset that is not Microsoft approved with the controller, but I do not recommend this as the driver support give BASIC functionality which windows will provide if you can configure it.

Microsoft Xbox 360™  Wireless Speed Wheel

www.xbox.com/.../Xbox-360-Wireless-Speed-Wheel

No word on if this is a supported device, or not, but the other wheel was. Most PC users go with Logitech devices when it comes to wheels.

Nice I like this enough for Sticky

I would like to add a value point of disscussion

there are a lot of knock off non-microsoft Wireless Gaming Recievers out there

Some of the tell tale sigs they will say "XBOX 360" instead of Microsoft

and will not have the microsoft genuine logo sticker on the device.

Beware of buying these off ebay and other sites from CHINA

How do you tell if you are buying a genuine Microsoft Product?

There is a holographic sticker at the bottom of the device.

Please be aware that a wireless 360 controller MUST use the Wireless Receiver on any PC.

The Plug & Play Recharging Cable is just that, a means to recharge the Controller while still playing a game.

It is NOT a substitute for the Wireless Receiver.  It will NOT provide any communication with a PC.  It is only a recharging device.

Hello,

do you know if there are any news about the support for the Wireless Speed Wheel for Windows? I know that it doesn't work out of the box since i have the speedwheel and the receiver right in front of me. Will there be a special driver for the speed wheel?

You don't understand what is happening here.  So, the device that is connected is the wireless receiver.  Not the Speed Wheel.

So you need to make sure that the wireless receiver is connected correctly with the correct driver.  It is the games that  support or not support the device.  If the Speed Wheel is connected to receiver, it should work.

Yes you are right of course. But since the speed wheel does not connect to the wireless receiver, it is not an issue of the driver for the receiver, it is a matter of the firmware of the receiver. And I suppose there will not be a firmwareupdate for the receiver...

To the best of my knowlege the Wireless Speed Wheel is not yet supported on the PC.

Once it is, or if it becomes a supported device, I'm sure it will have it's own driver download to be able to communicate with the Wireless Receiver.

I think it's probably a lack of demand that has prevented this from happening, as Glocks said, most PC users who like using racing wheels lean towards the Logitech ones.  I myself use the G27.  However, another reason could be that there are so many already available to the PC market, that Microsoft did not feel it would be cost effective to try to go after a market share on this item, at least yet.

Maybe if they see a more casual user demand (those who aren't looking for Uber-Wheels with shifters and pedals) they may decide then to give it a shot.

It could also be the case that the tech is different.

So here's a fun question... What if the drivers aren't found for your headset?

Two questions.  The website originally said that drivers would come to add full Force Feedback for the Wireless 360 Racing Wheel... is this still going to happen?  Also, with the default drivers LT/RT are sharing an axis... will this be fixed too?  You can't press them at the same time, they cancel each another out.  Thanks.

yepper Message understood

JUst wait for it.  I have a sneaky suspicion we may have to wait for Windows 8

I'm looking for one of these, but i cannot find one that doesn't come with a $50 controller or headset, can anyone PM a link to a site that sells the official product? (not a Chinese rip off?) I've been looking for some time fro one of these, i live in th e U.S. btw+^_^+

Like I said earlier, MS is not marketing the receiver without the controller.  They haven't for a couple of years now.  But not to say you can't find one.  Good luck.

If I would want to connect more than 4 xbox 360 controllers to one PC, could I connect 2 wireless receivers to make this work?

no.  But why would you?  Do you have a PC game that can have more than 4 players?

Certainly: sports games, such as FIFA 12. On PS3 it is always fun with 7 players playing simultaneously.

Just because it allows it on the PS3 does not mean it will be so on the PC.  You have to check each game separately for controller support

I recently bought a Wireless Gaming Receiver for my Windows 7 64bit. I installed the and followed the instructions. Everything installed fine. I too am having an issue with not only getting force feedback from my wireless controller, but getting the LT and RT to "split axis". Is there an update out, or a driver we can download that will work for the Wireless Gaming Receiver and Xbox 360 wireless controller?

See my previous post...

Is there a windows 8 update for this? Because I have searched and not been able to find one ... please help.

As per one of glocks original posts, wew know you can sync a wireless headset to the device however I still have a quick q. I'm offshore currently and don't have a lot of time to track down an answer so any help would be appreciated.. So I'm thinking about getting the tritton warheads... The only third party headset on the market currently licensed nu Microsoft.. It syncs to the Xbox via the same 2.4ghz that Microsoft headsets use and that's just how it works... As far as voice chat anyway... And allll the reviews of the headset say you can use it on your PC for game sound.. Or anything really that has an optical out. But they also say it cannot be used for voice chat... Which is confusing to me because if it connects to your Xbox the same way a Microsoft wireless headset connects... Shouldn't you be able to sync it to the wireless reciever?

And another question I've never used a reciever before so I just don't know.. When you to have a headset synced to it are you able to voice chat using things like Skype ore can you only voice chat in Microsoft games..

Any help would be appreciated cause to plop down three bills for a headset you can only use for your Xbox... Well that would kinda suck

How can I use this on Windows 8? I just bought a new laptop and the Wireless Receiver.  Help please!

@ xXCapitalPwNrXx,

IF the headset were to actually sync with the Wireless Gaming Receiver, the only voice you would be able to enjoy is gaming with other PC players.  Microsoft intentionally "broke" cross-platform voice chat.

I say intentional because in order for newer games to be made on either platform, the cross-platform initiative was canned.  It was primarily an audio driver incompatibilty issue that was mainly to blame.

Still, I personally do not know anyone but Glocks to say that the headset worked on the PC anyway.  He is an excellent and trustworthy source of information though, so if he says it's possible, I believe him.  I just don't know if the 3 bills is worth the experiment unless someone else can confirm it for you.  Maybe an email to Tritton?

WOW!!! I just got a free Xbox live codes at http://***/
