I have a new cool gadget, and this time it's a handy one as well. It's the XBox Wireless gaming receiver for Windows. What it does is allow me to use my wireless controllers with Windows, which is great as Games for Windows means that a lot more are going to use the controllers in the future.
What's really cool about it is that it doesn't just work with the standard controller. I also have the wireless headset and wheel and they also work with it. The headset is great for teamspeak as the wires on my old headset really got in the way. Well, it was more to do with me standing up and walking away while still wired to the PC, but if I can use technology to make up for my own stupidity then I'm happy.
The most important feature is, of course, that it enables you to use the Wheel under Windows. Why is this important? It'll mean I'll be able to play with it using XNA while I'm running under Windows. That's perfect for testing.
