+===== Xbox 360 Controller =====
+The Xbox 360 pad is pretty great ([[http://nfgworld.com/mb/thread/379-XBOX-360-Pad|NFGcontrols.com review]]) but it's not always the best solution.  It's especially bad when you need an accurate d-pad.
+=== Overview ===
+  * 4 direction d-pad
+  * 2 analogue sticks
+  * 2 analogue triggers
+  * 11 buttons
+  * 4 lights (Player 1 -> Player 4)
+Available in wired and wireless versions.
+=== Revisions ===
+There are at least two 360 pad versions, and possibly more.  The wireless one has a common ground and is very mod-friendly, but the wired pad has multiple grounds.  This may not be consistent across all revisions however: forum member Waterbury says his wireless pad [[http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=3848.msg27239#msg27239|has multiple grounds]].
+== Potentiometers ==
+There are two kinds of pots inside the 360 pad, two each for the analogue sticks and one each for the triggers.
+All four analogue stick pots are the same, with a large range (approx 200Ω - 10kΩ) and movement (slightly greater than 90°).
+The two trigger pots have very minimal movement (perhaps 45°) but the same range (0Ω - 10kΩ).
+Both have linear resistance, and are 5kΩ at the half-way point.
