Hi. Does anyone know how to get a 360 controller to work on a PC? I have the charging cord that's USB, but when I connect it to my PC it is looking for a driver or something??? Thanks

If it's a wired controller just plug it in.. if it's wireless you have to buy an adapter tho.

The USB charge cord doesn't send control data. You'll have to get a $20 receiver, or a wired controller ($20 this week at Fry's).

Ok so do you need a pricey add-on, or will a basic Microsoft based computer run a Wireless 360 controller? (given a driver DL.)
