I was wondering where I could find one of these that supports windows 7? The generic one on amazon says that it does not support windows 7.

It should.

Is what I use, you just have to follow the directions and download the correct drivers from online.

Not saying you don't know what you are talking about at all, but are you sure that's the same one? I just wanna be sure before I drop $10 on it haha.

it just said in description that it can't support windows 7.

Ahh ok, my mistake, they look so similar.  It is this one:

I also bought this rechargeable battery pack + charger.  It used to be only $5, but even at $10, that will make your money back pretty fast in battery cost.

Turns out it doesn't matter. Apparently the drivers included with the disk don't support windows 7 64 bit but there is a way to make it work. Thanks anyways.

Dude, that is what I've been saying.  You get the drivers online and it doesn't matter.  the top 2 reviews are for both Windows 7 and Windows 8 installation.  I wrote the review for the Windows 8 installation,  fair to say I know what I am talking about.
