Play WoW using your Xbox 360 Controller

Posted by Jaren as Computers, Cool Stuff, Games, Online Gaming, PC, Software, Windows

I’ve been using my Xbox 360 Controller to play every game installed on my Vista Laptop, starting from Doom3, Civ3, Oblivion, Half-life 2, Halo, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Battle for Middle Earth 2, Etc.. Even Using it on a few MMO’s like Freestyle Online, and World of Warcraft.

And the experience is great, better than the feeling of messing up my laptop keyboard, because of frustrated keypresses that leads to smashing your keyboard. Plus the neck strain because you have to be close to the monitor and keyboard at the same time.

Now for Other games I used the Pinnacle Game Profiler Software,which is free to download but costs you if you want to upgrade it. For the game, World Of Warcraft I specifically use Switchblade which is fully configured to use your Xbox 360 Controller wired or wireless to play World of Warcraft. Yippeee, its free to download, but you also have to register for xfire gaming service. But it’s still cool, what a little bit of typing mean if you can comfortably play WoW, with a great Controller right. Now the only thing that is missing are the free chips and dips.

I’ve been playing World of Warcraft with my Xbox 360 controller for over a year and to be honest, I love it. I use a free program called Xpadder though. It works really well. I found a website that shows you exactly what you need to do to set it up. It’s http://wow.couchcomputing.info

If you’re at all skeptical about it, I seriously suggest you try it before you “knock it”. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to play WoW with a controller.
