X-Box 360 controller question

If I have an xbox controller and the usb thing that charges it can I just plug that into the computer, download the drivers and use it as a controller for my PC?

Thanks

got a question, also about xbox 360 controller for pc and dont want to start a new thread

i have a 360 controller and when i load it in any games it registers twice, which is very annoying, so on the menus whenever i press down it moves down 2 times, once for the frst time the controller is registered and once for the second time, so eveyrthing happens twice as much and it kind of ruins games

i have re-installed, restarted controller and pc but it still does it

any ideas anyone?

If I have an xbox controller and the usb thing that charges it can I just plug that into the computer, download the drivers and use it as a controller for my PC?

Thanks

No you can't I'm affraid. The charge kit is just that, a charge kit, the 360 pad is still wireless. To use the wireless pad you need the Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver for Windows.
