Mcbazel Wireless USB 2.0 Gaming Receiver Adapter for Microsoft Xbox 360 Desktop PC Laptop Gaming - Black

I still have my old guitar from the heady days of playing Guitar Hero on Xbox 360 with my family. After reading about people managing to get the games working on PC along with Clone Hero, I figured I'd try this.The device is just a small black box connected to your PC via the attached USB cable. Once I'd set up the drivers for Windows 10 (see below), I connected the guitar and loaded Clone Hero. Everything just worked and within five minutes of connecting this receiver I was playing.I know from reading comments online that some people have had issues with lag when playing Clone Hero with a wireless controller like the guitar I have. However, I had no problems with this at all. Clone Hero does have settings you can tweak to mitigate this.In terms of trying to get the original Guitar Hero games working, I haven't yet tried. Clone Hero is a native Windows app and so doesn't require any kind of emulation to work.In terms of the hardware and performance, I cannot fault this little device. Once the drivers were set up, it just worked without any further need of configuration.If you use Windows 10 and want to use this, here's how I got it working. It takes less than two minutes:The drivers for this should be already available in Windows.Plug the receiver into a USB port.Open Control Panel.Open Device Manager.Look down the list for 'Other Devices', 'Unknown Device' or similar. It will be the one with a yellow triangle icon against it.Right click this entry and select 'Update Driver'.Select 'Browse my computers for drivers'.Then select 'Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer'.You should then see a list of Xbox 360 devices. Select the one labelled 'Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows' and click 'Next'.You'll then get a warning popup about installing unverified drivers. Click 'Yes'.The drivers should then install and you're good to go.

Works great on Win 11 Pro x64 but you do need to manually install the Xbox 360 wireless controller the first time you use it and then it works fine, easy to connect up to 4 controllers to a PC . I followed AG's instructions which are here for your convenience but full credit to AG - thanksOpen Device Manager: Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.Find the Device: Look for the "Unknown device" under Other Devices or Universal Serial Bus Controllers.Update the Driver:Right-click the "Unknown device" and select "Update driver."Choose "Browse my computer for drivers."Select "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer."Select the Driver:Scroll down to "Microsoft" and select "Xbox Controller."Click "Next" to install.Start Your Controller:Press the Xbox button on the controller.

I bought this wireless USB receiver specifically to use an Xbox 360 guitar controller with Clone Hero on PC, and it’s been doing exactly what I needed it to do.What I like:Worked with my Xbox 360 guitar once the correct driver was installedStable connection during gameplay with no noticeable input lagCompact and easy to leave plugged into a desktop or laptopMuch cheaper than trying to find an original Microsoft receiverThings to be aware of:Driver installation isn’t fully plug‑and‑play and may take a bit of manual setup, especially on newer versions of WindowsNo instructions included, so some basic familiarity with device manager helpsBuild quality is fine, but feels fairly lightweightOnce set up, it’s been reliable for Clone Hero sessions with no random disconnects or missed inputs. Compared to wired alternatives, it’s far more convenient, and compared to the original Microsoft receiver, performance feels essentially the same for this type of use.Overall, this is a solid and affordable solution if you want to use Xbox 360 wireless controllers — particularly guitars — on a PC. I’ve rated it 4 stars due to the setup process, but once configured it works well and does the job reliably.

Worked perfectly with Windows 10 once installed using the instructions on the video; essentially it boils down to installing the Microsoft wireless adapter driver manually via device manager. No input lag, the only downside I've found is the controller doesn't shut off once the device is unplugged - but removing the battery pack on the controller achieves the same.Also just worked out of the box on the Steam Link which I was not expecting!

At first, I thought this was really good but then it started connecting and disconnecting like Christmas tree lights. like some of the other reviews have said, this may possibly be ok if you have ages to faff with drivers etc...maybe but I doubt it. but this does not plug and play and is basically unusable. avoid. I will be sending mine straight back for a refund!!

Bit expensive for what it isTakes a bit to set up but after that it works perfect I brought for clone hero works perfectly with Xbox 360 guitar

Works exactly as advertised, unlike a genuine XBox 360 receiver it will not install the driver automatically. However, as others have said, selecting the 'Microsoft 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows' driver that is already part of the Windows driver database works, it will complain that the driver/hardware may not match/be suitable, but works fine.

Don't let be fooled by other reviews - it works with Windows 10 and 11!I've been using it for nearly a year among the various updates of Windows. It's tricky as you might need to update the drivers every single time, so it takes 5-10 minutes to set up, but besides that nothing to complain about. Definitely worth the hassle :)

Fonctionne très bien avec la distribution Linux Bazzite, reconnue nativement. Un excellent produit pour remplacer l'adaptateur Microsoft d'origine.

Lo compré para utilizarlo como receptor de mando de 360 en el Tesla y funciona bien. Únicamente no se iluminan las luces del mando como suele pasar al usarse en pc.En el ordenador lo he utilizado con la guitarra del Guitar Hero y funciona genial.

Mein kabelloser XBox-360-Controller leistet mir seit zehn Jahren treue Dienste. Der originale Receiver hat sich hingegen mit einer kaputten Sicherung verabschiedet. Die Sicherungen sind ein bekannter Schwachpunkt der originalen Empfänger. Eine Reparatur ist zwar nicht weiter schwierig, aber die Platine ist eng bestückt und die Bauteile sind wirklich winzig. Wer im Gegensatz zu mir regelmäßig kleinste Bauteile lötet, landet wahrscheinlich nicht in dieser Rezension, sondern hat die Sicherung längst auf eigene Gefahr mit einem Stückchen Draht überbrückt – also rein theoretisch, in der guten fachlichen Praxis würde man so etwas ja nie machen.Alle anderen – einschließlich mir – landen bei diesem chinesischen Nachbau hier und fragen sich, ob das Teil angesichts des doch recht stolzen Preises mit Windows 11 funktioniert. Ja, einwandfrei. Wie andere Rezensenten bereits beschrieben haben, ist der Austausch-Empfänger im Handumdrehen eingerichtet:1. Anschließen.2. Im Gerätemanager das "unbekannte Gerät" suchen (ganz oben in der Liste).3. Bei der Treiberinstallation "vorhandenen Treiber auf Computer" auswählen.4. In der Liste in der Kategorie "XBox 360 Peripheriegeräte" den "XBox 360 Wireless Receiver" auswählen.5. Controller einschalten, er verbindet sich automatisch (falls der Controller bisher noch nicht eingerichtet war, muss noch ein Pairing durchgeführt werden).Viel Spaß!

Excelente ya puedo usar mi guitarra, solo que si se ocupa un instalador de drivers que si está medio difícil de buscar

Come saprete, i ricevitori XBox 360 purtroppo non sono più in produzione, pertanto è difficilissimo trovare componenti originali. Fortunatamente sono disponibili in commercio dispositivi simili che emulano il funzionamento, come questo dongle pensavo per Win 8, 10 e 11 =) Collegandolo ho visto che purtroppo Windows 10 non riusciva a identificarlo, e non sono più scaricabili i driver per la lettura. Su alcuni siti ho però scoperto questo piccolo "trucchetto con i driver" che vi illustro qui (funge sia su 10 che su 11 ma non è spiegato nel manuale di istruzioni ahimé):- In "Pannello di Controllo" bisogna andare su "Gestione dispositivi" e selezionare "Dispositivo sconosciuto"- Premete il tasto destro e andate su "Aggiorna driver" dopodiché cliccate su "Seleziona un driver dall'hard drive" (sarebbe preinstallato già, non serve che smanettiate ulteriormente per trovarlo e metterlo, il computer non lo selezionerà automaticamente)- Cercate la voce "Periferiche XBox 360 Wireless" e nel menù successivo avrete 3 opzioni da cui scegliere: "Ricevitore wireless" non sortirà effetto alcuno, pertanto se volete che vi parta selezionate "Controller XBox 360 Wireless con kit a consumo/via Play & Charge Kit"Et voilà, fatto! Ora potrete testarlo su un qualsiasi tester di gamepad online e vedrete che sarà tutto in regola =D Che rimarrebbe da fare come ultimo tocco? Basta premere il pulsante O))) sul dongle finché non lampeggia, poi accendete il vostro pad wireless col tasto davanti e poi sul bottoncino O))) che sta sul fronte del dispositivo. Così i due si collegheranno e potrete giocare senza alcun problemaSpero vi sia utile come lo è stato per me!
