Through experience I've found that only official Microsoft Xbox controllers work well with PCs, any other brand, or no-brand for that matter, cause problems like this more often than not. I'd return it for a refund and purchase an official controller.

I got the controller free. I really want it to work. I got the correct drives for it so why isn't it working. Is it because I need to update PIX Other Hardware HID Compliant Device
