Does the wired version have a transforming d-pad?

No, but you can change it. The old d- pad for the new one. It only cost like 8 dollars.

No. Pc controllers do not have a plug and play slot which is located at the top center of the contoller. Just a usb connection.

There is no dpad on the orbweaver which is disappointing. It has an 8 way thumb stick. But I find the nostramo's dpad way better than the useless thumb stick on the orbweaver. I've had the razer nostramo's for over a year and love it. Bought the orbweaver and returned it after a week. It caused my computer to get blue screen of death

when going through the option in the game the control only has 2 options and the both option are using the analog stick to steer, the d-pad is to look back ... so it looks like you can't switch it to d-pad.

No. it is only a "trigger" device. The advantage is any pad or knob can be assigned to trigger or control just about ANY note or parameter. Also, it is both usb and midi.

Unfortunately it is completely wired. It would have been nice if it was like the mouse.

I've heard of JoyToKey (google it), I'm not familiar with actually using it, but I believe it's a way to enable a controller to emulate a mouse and keyboard

Very late answer here. The Razer Orochi is truly ambidextrous - symmetrical, with the same number of buttons on each side, and can function as both a wired and wireless mouse. Only caveat is that it is somewhat smaller than average, being designed for portable laptop use.

I don't know exactly because I have not played with it on the computer, but I know that wired controllers work with computers. It should just go right into the USB port and you can play away

the wireless keypad also has a wired option, but you program the wireless part of the key pad to your transponder. So yes you can have both

Not that I am aware of. It shows up in Device Manager as an HID keyboard device and uses a Microsoft driver. I took a quick look and cannot see where you'd be able to remap the keyboard to the USB input device. However, turn off the num-lock (upper left key) and the pad acts as your arrow keys would. I've used it in Excel a few times and found it faster to switch modes and operate from the pad than from both the keyboard and pad.

I don't own one...but looks like it is a wired keyboard and mouse...not wireless.

Don't see why it wouldn't. I have one, and use it with Project 64, ZSnes, ROCKnes, Kega Fusion, Chanka, and others all the time with no problems. It's d-pad is ok for a standard cross type. But I have an older Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power 3, and I think it's dpad is more comfortable. Lots of luck finding one though--like I said, they're older gamepads, and getting hard to find now.

I don't believe it is. The cord doesn't have the release where it connects to the small USB section. Also, the thumb sticks don't work well. I noticed this while writing programs that use the controller. The values returned by the stick are not proportional like they should be, especially on diagonals. The sticks work more like directional pads. The other noticeable difference is the hologram sticker. The one on this controller is not a colorful or sparkly as the one on my official controller. I would avoid this seller.

Yes, it does. There is a switch on the back of the unit that throws it into PS3 mode. Google to find the key mappings for the PS3 triangle, square, etc and reviews.

Yes. It basically turns your controller into a wired controller without the battery pack. But you can also put in the rechargeable battery pack and charge it to play wirelessly.

Only when connected by USB. It doesn't work with all games and obviously the TouchPad won't work either.
