Microsoft(R) Corporation released a product named "Xbox(R) 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver" in February 7, 2007. This device allows owners of Xbox(R) 360 to connect to and use Xbox(R) 360 wireless devices (such as wireless gamepads, headsets, racing wheel etc.) from personal computers.

The device is connected to personal computers through USB interface and its distributed with the original device driver.

Although the product is still new, it conficts with many other connected USB devices such as keyboards, mouses, headsets, external sound cards and any other external USB devices (95\% after a personal research based on online reports). When product/device is connected, all rest devices stop responding thus rendering them useless, and having to restart the computer without the product/device plugged in to restore them in their original working state.
This issue is reported for both Windows(R) XP SP2 and Windows(R) Vista (All versions).

The CD version of the device driver is tagged as version 1.0. A few weeks after the initial release of the product, Microsoft(R) Corporation released a driver available from the official product website tagged as version 1.1, with no assosiated notes as to what new features it brings or bugs it fixes.

Since then, most customers and owners of the product/device are furstratred and expecting official feedback from the company to address the issue and release a proper device driver.

We, the consumers, demand an immediate approach to this issue from the company and feedback, address the problem, and fix the problem with a new release driver.

    • With the reciever plugged in, my mouse stops working in Windows Vista, though my XP installation still works just fine. Unacceptable; I need, and should be able to, use both my USB mouse and this at the same time. Seriously, Microsoft, spend some time QAing this stuff...
