    I've got the Snakebyte FFXIV controller off Amazon when I got XIV. It was NOT worth it.

    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and I downloaded the drivers off there website (which says Windows 7 compatible). I built this PC a few months before ordering XIV. I never received a BSOD before I installed the drivers. After I got the game and controller on the same day, I got BSOD at least once every day. I was thinking it was XIV stressing my parts and causing overheating, so I spent $20 worth of fans for my case.

    It didn't help, so thinking XIV was out of the question for me I took a two week break. I used the controller to play a few other games (Minecraft and Glitch, a browser MMO) and got BSOD on both of those games, which wouldn't stress my parts at all.

    I figured out then it was the controller drivers, since it only happened when using the controller. I got me a 360 controller now, had it for 3 weeks. Never got a BSOD again (after getting them everyday while having the Snakebyte XIV controller) after I uninstalled the drivers (which left the controller useless).

    There's no drivers to download with the Xbox controller either, it's plug and play for Windows 7. Got a sturdy feel to it and very responsive. It's only $30 off Newegg, tax and shipping included.
