Is it possible to use the Xbox360 controller with Halo 1 PC?

Yes, but it's got no deadzone recognition, so you're always moving left.

It's also possible to make a usb adapter for your original xbox controller like i did which is quite simple to do as the wires in an xbox controller cable match up exactly to a usb cable, just join em up using a guide so u know which ones go to which colours (theres plenty of easy to follow guides around) and download the "XBCD" driver which lets you use it with your pc. If you just make the change to the detachable end piece of the cable then you have a controller which works with both PC and xbox and all you need to do is change the end pice to swap between them. Since i had a broken controller i had a spare end-piece so this was perfect for the job. A much cheaper solution than buying a whole new controller just to play halo 1 pc with an xbox controller.

I use the xbox 360 controller its not bad. He's right about it going left. The xbcd drivers help but you will find complications when you upgrade to vista.
Profile problems say the least to the setup utility. It's not as bad as Battlefield 2142 tho. An optical mouse is always better. Halo is one of the easiest shooters with keyboard and mouse. A red dot on the head of a standing still guy with a sniper rifle doesn't equal death with this controller. In laymans terms.

It's not a question as so much if it's possible to use the controller with Halo PC rather than would you really want to?
