It worked great on all three. **Q: does it work with pc?** A: On windows 7 its plug and play on windows 8 and up you have to download the driver http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows then you have to download the windows 7 drivers and install it on your windows 8 pc be sure to grab the right version 64 bit (x64) or 32 bit (x86). **Q: Will this work on a Windows PC or not?** A: I bought this product several months ago and tried it on my computer. The software is somewhat compatible but ultimately this controller is not meant for Windows PC. Your best bet would be to buy a brand-name Xbox controller from microsoft ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy and reliable *by A***E on August 14, 2017* Fantastic controllers. Didn't know I already had it for a couple years. The thumb grips got worked up, but nothing a few replacement I've found on Amazon can't fix. I can't really say much about the lights. Many people like it and they do work properly. But as a controller itself, this is definitely the best and pocket friendly out there. The wire isn't frayed, the cover is still intact, the connector isnt broken, everything is ship shape. For about three years of using it, it didn't let me and my brother, and I guess my sisters down.The fix was shortlived because the screw holes let up. Could've taped them together but oh well. Bought a new one and it still holds up for months now. I'm happy with this controller.Another thing I've noticed, some games are a bit hissy with the controller, and therefore need original microsoft controllers to perform seamlessly. Just letting y'all know. Still the best third party controller. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cool Blue Look; Same Great Taste *by S***Y on September 15, 2019* It is what is advertised. Interestingly it feels a bit nicer than my other Afterglow 360 controller. That one's d-pad wore out after using it for basically all of my PC gaming since 2013 so I was pretty sure I wanted another one of these. Maybe it's just because it's new but all the buttons feel more responsive on it. The only thing that's significantly different is that you can unplug the cord from the controller whereas my other model was hardwired into it. I'm not sure if that's good or bad but it seems like it'll be nice for storing it or replacing the cord if there's an issue and the controller part still works fine. Plus, it has those cool blue lights in it. It gets the job done and I'm pretty confident it'll last me a good few years, which makes it a damn good deal considering the price. ### ⭐ Not the same Afterglow controller anymore, they've gone cheap on materials *by A***R on June 25, 2019* Extremely disappointed in PDP and what they've done to this controller. I've had 3 of these controllers now over the span of several years. The first two times I got them, ~2017, the controllers were fantastic and had a great feel to them. Strong grip on the joysticks, fast reacting buttons. Nothing about it felt cheap and $28 was a great price for it.I've turned down official XBOX and PS4 controllers in favor of the Afterglow because it felt so much better in your hands and the responsiveness.However, this latest order in June 2019 has me so disappointed in their product now that I will NEVER buy an Afterglow controller ever again. PDP, the maker of the controller, has gone cheap on EVERY SINGLE part of the product after 2017. The joysticks are now a very cheap plastic that has almost 0 grip, feels weak and light, and has horrible response. ALL of the buttons and the case are now also an extremely cheap plastic that leaves something to be desired on ALL FRONTS. The LB/RB buttons are ABSOLUTE terrible and barely click now like an unresponsive cheap product. As well as the L2/R2 triggers are such horrendous plastic that they feel like they are going to break off at any minute; and I just got this controller days ago.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! IT IS FALSELY BEING ADVERTISED AS THE SAME AFTERGLOW THAT THEY'VE ALWAYS HAD FOR YEARS BUT IT IS NOT THE SAME AT ALL!BUYERS BE WARNED!! This controller should be in the less than $5 range with what they've done to it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/438633-pdp-afterglow-wired-controller-for-xbox-360-blue](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/438633-pdp-afterglow-wired-controller-for-xbox-360-blue) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
