Here is official Microsoft peripheral which reportedly has some serious issues that have been ignored by the Xbox 360 team. Oneway Johnny mailed in to let us know about the dire state that the official wireless gaming receiver is in. The product seems PLAGUED with problems as evident by many user reviews including knocking out all USB devices attached to the same machine, poor packaging which makes it easy to cut the wire when trying to open it amongst other faults.

Yo,

This needs some attention finally, 6 months of waiting and 4 months looking for a fix this horrible issue has not been resolved as of yet. Please read below and through the forums how microsoft is really messing up releasing a XBOX360 wireless gaming receiver that when plugged it goes to initialize. Upon loading the driver the power hungry USB device knocks out ALL to MOST USB devices attached to the same machine. I am a huge XBOX fan but enough isenough.

Each package has the customer cut along the dotted line, when doing so the
wire loops vertically to the TOP of the package!!! many have cut the wire including myself.

If you were so lucky as to NOT destroy your own product during removal frompackaging. You were warmly greeted with this device huggin all the powerfrom your USB device mainly knocking out keyboards and mice, which cant be fixed until you remove the device and reboot.

The solution is to buy a powered USB hub, then plug the device into the hub and then into the computer which does not lock up any thing.

I am now going to list 4-5 links to major sites, read the forums and the products review about 90% of the people that actaully bought on e is going through.

Its not FAIR, please help us consumers as we have called into xbox support only to be told that its not and xbox product and they will only take your call unless you have a 360 or XBOX1 console. Making impossible to file a complaint unless you can provide a serial number.
