Steelseries Controller

[Kawisaki#209]

Hey I just went to my local gamestop to get a controller to play MXS. When I got home I plugged it in and it said it was good and ready to go but, it would not do anything. Does anyone know how to program it or how to get it working? I have no idea how to work it. Please . I really want this to work i just spent a ton of hard earned cash on getting it. Thanks for yours guys support! I would like to hear from many of you . please everyone if you know anything about it. Just tell me. K thanks much guys.

Check Start menu -> Control Panel -> Devices and printers
If you do not see the controller there, you probably need to install drivers for it. http://steelseries.com/support/downloads

perfect time for me to ask this...
is it possible to connect a controller to the computer via play and charge cable? if so where can i get drivers for it?

[Servatis]

no. not possible. play and charge only charges the the battery, no data is transferred over the cable.

I got it working.. Wow.. I actually think this controller is quite good. I do recommend it for starters that need some beginner help. I do not think this controller is enough for me though. None the less it is a fantastic controller and I will keep it for a while until i can get an x box 360 controller. Good thing about this controller is that it was only $20 at gamestop.

Hello,

I use a PS3 controller, i also think xbox controllers are usable.

PS3 Instructions below

NOTE- may be needed to turn PS3 off from back switch, sometimes when i plug my controller in and push the button it will turn the PS3 on and connect to it instead of the computer.
