Xbox 360 controller to PC.

Basically I have a wireless xbox360 controller and a plug n play kit, from what I've read on google I cannot use it to play PC games(it recognizes it but), is there anyway to fool it into thinking it's a wired controller? Should act exactly the same as a wired controller I would think. Don't really want to go out spending however much it is for a receiver for the wireless controller.

Don't bother with the whole kb+m is better, some games play better with controllers face it.

Cheers.

 

Yes, just go onto ebay and search for a xbox to usb cable. Then get Xpadder 5.7 from tpb.

I wouldn't recommend a controller for games like CS:S but they would be fine for BO and such.

 

Not to say you're wrong but I did a search on that cable and came up empty. Well, not empty, but the only cables I saw were for original Xbox controllers. AFAIK, the only way to use a wireless 360 controller is to buy the wireless receiver from Microsoft.

Unfortunately the plug-n-play kit doesn't cut it by itself. I had to go out and buy a wired controller myself (for racing games, action/RPG games, etc.)

Something like that?

 

you can buy them at walmart that plug into your computer

 

There a TUT of youtube, by a user named: yoteslaya. Search him up. Hees a great cod player and he had a tut on this.

 

I want to use the controller for games like darksiders and stuff cos I've read they play better with gamepads.

And well I don't have the money to buy a new controller that's why I wanted this to work, might just go trade ,my controller for a wired with a mate at some point if I can't get it to work.

Dank those drivers are for wireless controllers using the receiver.

imadecash, how is that relevant?


EasySalesP, shall look up in a minute.


Cheers guys.

EDIT; wasnt what I was looking for, just going to see if anyone wants to trade controllers lol.

 

If you happen to buy the wireless receiver, then can use a program called SwitchBlade.
It use to be free, but now it's pay only I believe.

It's pretty cool , you can customize your keys immensely .

 

I read somewhere that the wireless reciever isn't being made anymore and is decently hard to find?

So I'm just gonna trade my controller with a mate if anyone wants too.

 

I'd trade you, but only if you live close enough to Chicago.

 

Australia so it's a no go.
