Xbox 360 Controller Wirless

Just a quick question here. I was wondering do wireless 360 controllers work on PC games. I wanted to play Skyrim with my 360 controller but I only have a wireless one and was wondering if those work to or do I need a wired one?

Wireless ones are fine but you need the wireless usb adapter so your pc can communicate with the controller (£10-ish) Most new games natively support the 360 wireless, i just tried it with skyrim and i can confirm the wireless controller works and everything is already mapped for you.

So I need to go out and buy an adapter for me to use my wireless controller on my PC? Where would I be able to find one?

You need a wireless gaming receiver.

Whatever you do, don't even think about using a USB charge & play cable. That doesn't work. It only charges the controller, it doesn't transmit any data.

It should plug straight into a usb2 port seeing the cord seems non-detachable.

Yeah, now we know. He He. We looked silly trying to make the darn thing work with a charge and play cable. I mean my friend did. He was the one who wanted to play Crysis on my PC and not use the mouse/kbd.

How is Skryim on PC with a 360 controller? Better than keyboard and mouse?

Currently hating the keyboard and mouse in the game. My character either runs everywhere too fast, or walks and watches snails pass him by.
