Is it hard to setup and remap for games?

I managed to get a ps3 controller connected but couldnt figure out howto remap it!

840766 2009-12-18 20:50:00 The Xbox controller is easy to setup. Just install the software for it. And any game that supports it on Xbox will work. The controls are the same as the Xbox

Theres no options in the software tho. If you use Vista / Windows 7 x64 you could try this (www.hardcoreware.net)

840767 2009-12-18 21:30:00 Xbox controller I just plugged in and away she went, even remaps the keys to the controller symbols on most games hueybot3000 (3646)
840768 2009-12-18 22:33:00 Well I got the controller remapped fine. Works good in MW2. But in dirt 2 it doesnt go forward or steer. It works fine in all the menus but when actually racing it doesnt work.

Is this (www.dse.co.nz) what I want?

How does the wireless one connect? Link (www.microsoft.com)

840769 2009-12-18 23:20:00 Unless it says on the box the game comes with, that it supports the windows controller, it wont fully work. The wireless controller connects wirelessly. Turn it on then play. Thats the windows controller, but I wouldnt get it. NOT all games will work with it Speedy Gonzales (78)

So I should get a normal Xbox controller? Will that work?
