Hey everybody, I usually only play games on my PS3 but since Splinter Cell Conviction is only on PC and 360, I want to get it for PC. I'm new to PC and want to know what kinds of controllers can be connected. Hope you can help me out

Buy a WIRED xbox360 controller. It works perfectly.. just plug it in and itll work automatically on some computers, and others you just have to download a very small driver update. Works very well with alot of games.

Or you can just go to walmart and buy a pc controller for like 5-25$.

I have a 360 one and two random cheap ones and they work perfect for when friends come over who prefer controller, or when we are gonna play some 2-4 player Fifa or NBA2k.

Yeah, just get that http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/842412/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Controller-For-Windows/Product.html

Mouse and keyboard is far superior but if you're used to playing with a controller then that works great :D

The Xbox 360 controller is easily the best controller for the PC. While you can find other controllers for much cheaper, they're not as good. I'd suggest getting the wired X360 controller since wireless is absolutely pointless for a PC and only adds extra inconviences like batteries and syncing the controller with the wireless reciever. The only reason to get a wireless PC controller is if you have an X360 and thus already have at least one other X360 wireless controller, since at that point you're getting multiple PC controllers for the price of one.

Yeah get a wired 360 controller, I did an aproximate measurement and the wire is 3 metres long (10 feet) which is enough even if you hookk up your PC to the TV and are sitting on a couch, It's great when I want to play some Mugen Games/Street Fighter with my friend.
