Is this safe?

Is it safe to charge my 360 controller in my computers USB port, I am just wondering because every time I plug it in the message pops up about downloading software for the

unidentified object in the USB, can the controller be damaged in any way?

You usually have to install drivers for new hardware. That's all the message is saying: if you want to be able to use the controller on your pc, you have to install the software to enable it. I've used my wired 360 controller as a game pad for my pc and it has been fine, but I don't know about charging batteries.

* It is perfectly save. You can charge it on anything with a USB socket.

* It will not function as a wired controller on a PC. Only to charge.

* You do not need to install any driver to charge the battery.

* A driver will install automatically (once you search for it using the new hardware found wizard.) This driver only seems to exist simply to avoid windows from bothering you when you plug the charger in. It doesn't seem to do anything else.

It's fine.

they probably wouldnt recommend it but i guess if its been workin then it could be fine.
