Our take on the Old Skool Controller for Xbox 360 and PC - Black

The Old Skool controller is a third-party wireless gamepad built for the Xbox 360 and Windows PCs. It copies the 360 layout: two analog sticks, a d-pad, ABXY face buttons, shoulder bumpers and triggers, plus rumble vibration. It suits budget-minded players replacing a worn 360 pad or adding a second controller for local play, but it lacks the build quality and official wireless support of Microsoft's own pad. Expect a lighter feel and less precise sticks than the first-party controller.

Questions and answers

Does it work with a PC out of the box?
It works with Windows, but many PCs need a wireless receiver for the 360-style connection. Wired or receiver-based setups are more reliable than Bluetooth-style pairing.
Is it an official Microsoft controller?
No. It is a third-party pad from Old Skool that copies the Xbox 360 layout. Build and stick precision are below the official controller.
How many controllers can connect at once?
On Xbox 360 you can pair several pads for local multiplayer, one per player. Check that each pad is paired to its own slot.
Does it have rumble vibration?
Yes. It includes vibration feedback, and games that support rumble on the 360 will use it.
Is it worth it over an official Xbox 360 controller?
If you want a cheap spare or replacement for casual play, yes. If you need precise sticks for competitive games, the official pad is the better long-term choice.
