360 controller on pc???????

not sure really, the pc will charge you controller if you plug it in, and it works when you plug in the wired pad for use on the pc, however you would have to give it a try, but I see no reason why not really. ihateyou_right

yea it popped up saying it couldn't find the drivers to install

my wired pad works and it instalss the drivers automaticly, my wireless does not, the same as what you are saying, so I guess if you want to use a 360 pad on the computer you need one with wiresihateyou_right

 Or use the microsoft made wireless adapter so you can use all of your wireless devices on your pc

use the charge and play kit. Plug it in to your pc. There is a driver setup package on microsoft .com that will load all drivers you need. You can then ue the game pad in PC Games.jaminator45

Damn, really? I know that you can plug the wired controllers in and that there's also an adapter to use 360's wireless stuff on PC.

Lets see if this works, thanks man:)

PS: It doesn't work, I think it will not work with a controller you get with your 360.

yea i'd rather not spend $40ccgod

it is only 19.99

The play and charge kit only serves to charge your wireless controller, nothing more.  The only way your existing wireless controller will work with your Windows based PC is to purchase the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver for $19.99.  The receiver will work with any wireless Xbox 360 device (according to the product description at least).  This includes the wireless headset.

What's the catch?  The drivers for the receiver only work for XP at the moment.  The Vista drivers seem a little screwy.  I can confirm this as I have gotten my controller and headset to work on my XP laptop using the receiver, but not on my Vista desktop.

Well it works in control panel but when I click on Battlefield 2, Fable,etc. The game minimizes and you can't play anymore

Sorry, but you are just plain wrong. I have been using the 360 controller with the play and charge kit to connect it to my pc for over 6 months. Both windows XP and Vista.

But thanks for playing.....

Um no you cannot play with your WIRELESS controller with a plug and play kit, that plug and play kit DOES NOT transmit data whatsoever when it is plugged into your XBOX360 (or PC) it simply connects to the console to charge the battery, it is still transmiting wirelessly even when plugged into the console or pc via the play and charge kit, so you MUST have the wireless gaming adapter.

Now the wired xbox360 controller is a different story.

right. so what you are telling me is that I have imagined using the 360 wireless controller with the plug and charge kit on my pc for the last 6 months as a joystick.

 GOTCHA!!!

Look at the link i supplied dude before you spew out some answer...

Stright from the microsoft websie for the WIRELESS 360 controller. notice the connectivity item. USB. This is achieved by using the play and charge kit, the same way the play and charge kit works with the 360.
