Eh? I thought that play & charge kit doesn't transmit any data. I think you're still going to need that 2.4 Ghz receiver Microsoft sells for these peripherals.

Batteries are not the only power source - the USB chord can also provide power. What I'm not sure about is whether the play & charge kit also transmit data through the same USB chord, hence my suggestion that you might need the 2.4 GHz wireless receiver.

you can't use the Play and Charge Kit on PC. You will need the Receiver, but good news is it's cheap

$17 NEW on Amazon
