MBP: Game controllers / pads??? (Bluetooth?)

[marclapierre13]

I want to play NFS Carbon and halo and some others using a game pad. Can any recommend any? I prefer bluetooth, I want to keep my MBP as wireless as possible. Please recommend a GOOD one.

You can get a USB wireless adapter for a 360 controller (under windows). I use one for playing GOW, works fine although some games don't support but most games work better with keyboard/mouse anyway.

Ideally I would love to have a Xbox 360 controller. But I really want it to operate in OS X primarily. If it works in XP than thats a bonus too!

You can try these drivers although I can't confirm whether they're any good.

As I said, this is a driver for OS/X

Oh, so its for that? But that driver sounds kind of sketchy. Will it work for all games?
