I havent been to any lately so I dont know. Its always worth a shot. And if they dont have it, you may be able to get them to order it for you. Good luck.

You can make one yourself, they are quite easy.
take a usb end strip it, then cut the end of the X-Box controller
strip it, match the colors then solder or butt splice the wires and your
done. You will have to do a search for the drivers but they are pretty
easy to find. If you have any questions E-mail me.

Midwest Games is who I used. Got it in a few days. The price listed includes shipping and handling. And there is a link to the drivers. Dont forget there is also Froogle which is Google for shopping. Thats how I found Midwest.

Its almost exact, but you will have to mess with the thresholds. At least with the
drivers I used.

ya unless Radioshack has it, i'd say the only way u can get something like this is over the interent, probaly cause this is like "after-market" or something like that. i keep on planning to get one, maybe tommorrow.... oh and 1 more thing about it: to make movement controls due u just move the joystick in a certain direction to program the axis controls under settings in Halo?

You program the controller the same way you do your keyboard. Click on the action you want to perform, then press the button you want it to be initiated by. i.e- Click 'Move Forward' then move the analog stick in the direction you want 'Forward' to be. When setting up your 'X' button for reload/action/pick up weapon, just set it for 'action'. This lets it do all of the above. *If I remember correctly* You can always try this by starting a LAN game, then messing with the controls in game.
