Connecting a xbox360 controller to a pc thru xbox360

Hi, i was playing a lot of games that are better played on controllers then on a mouse and keyboard so i was wondering if it is possible to connect a xbox360 controller to pc using the xbox360 console somehow. Or do i NEED the usb receiver.

Thanks

Xbox 360 controller causing whine in headphones.

Is your headset by any chance connected to your controller? If so then it's because the Xbox360 controller is not optimized to have a headset connected to it when it's connected to a pc

yea i am kinda confused how i connect my xbox360 to my windows xp computer to play movies from my pc thru my xbox to the tv and will it play all formats?

 

Hi, you need the USB receiver to connect a wireless Xbox 360 controller to your PC. But since the wireless receiver has been discontinued, the only option is to purchase a controller that can connect via Bluetooth or with a wire
instead.

 

No that is not possible to connect a controller to your PC through your console. You will need the Xbox 360 wireless USB receiver for windows or buy a pure wired USB xbox 360 controller (microsoft and 3rd party ones available and all will work).

The play and charge USB cable for xbox 360 controllers does not make a wireless controller wired as it only transfers power and not data.

You could buy an xbox one wireless controller that is newer and has bluetooth and connect it to your PC directly as seen on this page: :

You can also use an xbox one wireless controller of any type (with or without bluetooth) with a Micro USB cable on a PC as well. THAT wire does make the xbox one wireless controller act as a wired controller while connected via Micro USB.
