can i use xbox 360 wireless controller with my xbox360?

I purchased an "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows". I am wondering: if I plug the receiver into my xbox 360 USB port, can I use the controller on my console? Anyone tried this? Otherwise I need to send it back. Thanks!

Xbox 360 Controller does not work on my PC ?

I am guessing the controller is a wired controller as the Wireless controller with Wireless PC adapter comes with drivers on a DVD in the box which work with Windows 8 (I use them myself).

As mentioned earlier by IceStorm III, a wireless controller with a Play and Charge kit won't work as that play and charge kit only carries power to charge/run a wireless controller with your Xbox 360.

If it is indeed a wired Xbox 360 controller you are trying to use with Windows 8 you can use the Windows 7 drivers which you can download here:

How to connect wireless Xbox 360 controller to PC

can i use a phone with bluetooth connected to my PC or Console & be able to connect & use my wireless Xbox 360 controller on my PC

 

What model of Xbox 360 do you own?

Is it an official wireless controller for the Xbox 360?

 

It's an old one from 2011. It is an official "Xbox 360 Wireless controller for Windows", meant for playing games on the PC. I am asking if this controller could actually be somehow used with my Xbox, rather than a PC. Thanks.

 

As long as you have the option to sync your wireless controller with your Xbox 360 it should work.

You don't need to plug the reciever from the set into your Xbox 360 console (in fact the reciever wouldn't work on the console).

Instead, simply bind the controller itself to your console directly, as per
the instructions that Taidara linked.

Only the PC will need the wireless reciever.

If you wish to use the controller on the PC again, you'll have to bind the controller with the wireless reciever on your PC again, by pressing the button on the wireless reciever, and the bind button on the controller.

 

OK I'll try binding it. Thanks guys!
