I have an Official Wired Xbox 360 Controller. It's not Third Party.
We've had cases where people were sold what was claimed to be an OEM controller, but was in fact a knockoff. It's most likely that you do indeed have a genuine controller, but can you check for some of the usual hallmarks of a knockoff, just to be sure?
- No 'X' logo on the guide button.
- No breakaway connector, which should be a few inches from the regular USB connector. (Exists to take the stress off when you trip over the cable.)
- No label on the back, or, in some cases, a poorly-printed one. The real label is quite sharp.
- No hologram sticker.
- Regular phillips screws, rather than tamper-proof torx screws.
If you're uncertain, I'd be happy to take a look at some photographs.
Also, I apologize for the delay in responding. Your last post was right around the time a stomach bug ruined my weekend. I didn't mean to leave you hanging. I know a new toy that doesn't work is very frustrating.
