Are there any wireless 3rd party xbox 360 controllers?
I know that MS is weird about their controllers, but surely there must be some 3rd party controllers that have a dongle that plugs into the USB ports.

AFAIK none exist and MS doesn't license any 3rd party *edit* wireless */edit* controllers.
Sony is the same with Bluetooth controllers but they allow for wireless dongles, so I can see where there would be confusion.
There may be some HK knock offs of the official wireless controllers, but from what I know the way that the wireless controller digitally signs to the console is hard to replicate so even those are expensive.

I'm surprised that this hasn't changed. At one time, that's why you couldn't get a wireless guitar controller for the 360, but that was relaxed.

Of course, it's not wireless, just wired.

Not really on-topic, but that controller looks badass. Is it any good?

Sorry, that's what I meant. I was only talking about 3rd party wireless.
