Wireless Gaming Receiver
At E3 2006, Microsoft announced the Wireless Gaming Receiver (sold as Crossfire Wireless Gaming Receiver in the UK), which allows all wireless Xbox 360 accessories to be used on a Windows-based PC.This allows PC and Xbox 360 owners to use their wireless gamepads, racing wheels, and headset on their computer. The device acts similar to an Xbox 360 as it allows up to 4 controllers and 4 headsets at a time to be connected to the receiver. The device has a 30 foot range and a six foot USB cable.It is specifically designed to work with games bearing the “Games for Windows” logo, but will function with most games that permit a standard PC gamepad. The wireless device retails for US/CDN $19.95, GBP £14.99 or AU $29.95, and was released on February 16, 2007. It is notable that the official Xbox website says that the adapter will work with ‘all future wireless devices’.
