I'm tall, white, and male. Therefore I am automatically the bad guy.

This is the strangest thing to ever happen to me while playing Halo.

Yes, you can use both. But two things, it does not control well and to use the original xbox controller you need to splice the cable and other stuff I don't want to talk about on B.net.

(What I mean by "it does not control well" is that the control stick only has 8 directions so playing the game smoothly is out of the question.)

Out of curiousity I attempted to use my 360 controller on my Vista laptop. It recognized it, directed me to Microsoft.com where I located the preferred driver for my controller and installed it.

However, when I started Halo CE it didn't even list the device as an option. I must have forgotten to do something.

Right now, I'm using a trac-ball mouse and keyboard. Works fine although using the trac-ball is taking some time getting used to. One positive side though, because of the trac-ball's button layout it's simple as hell to quickly zoom in and out and to toss grenades. I'll probably just stick to this.
