    Under the barcode is the following information

    Wireless Receiver 3.1 not recognized

    MS Support states the wireless receiver 3.1 (1028) will work with xbox 360 wireless controller. (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/microsoft-wireless-desktop-rec...).
    I suspect MS is mistaken. I have more time into this than I care to admit (it's only a game after all). All my components are MS branded.

    Nevertheless, the xbox controller app does not recognize the receiver on my PC (WIN7/64). Receiver is listed in device manager and function correctly for Mouse. Receiver came packaged with a mouse & keyboard but I no longer have keyboard. I suspect
    a receiver, -specifically for xbox controller- is what is needed.

    Has anyone ever witnessed MS Wireless Receiver 3.1 (1028) working with an xbox 360 controller? neil

    Connecting my Xbox 360 controller to Windows 8 laptop.

    For wireless Xbox 360 controllers, you cannot use the charging cable to connect to a PC (it only transfers power, not data). To use the controller with a PC, you will either need an "Xbox 360 controller for Windows" (non-detachable cable) or use your existing
    wireless controller with the wireless gaming receiver for Windows.

    This is the wireless adapter you could use:

    Heya LORD LWAJDI!

    That particular receiver is for use with Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mice. I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to connect an Xbox 360 Wireless controller with it. In order to connect a wireless controller you would need to purchase the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver
    for PC.

    Xbox360 Controller USB Incompatibility with PC

    The play and charge cord for the Xbox 360 is only used for powering the controller and charging the included battery. It does not transfer data.

    If your 360 controller is the wireless model, you will have to get a USB Xbox 360 wireless receiver for the PC. This is what actually connects your controller to the PC.

    Controller xbox 360 for windows 10 ?

    Thanks for asking! I have the just straight up wired controller and it's an easy setup for me, but if you aren't looking to dump money into yet another controller model, the link for setting up the 360 controller to your PC has some info towards the end
    in that guide about the wireless controller setup. :)

    "Note A standard Xbox 360 wireless controller can be connected to a Windows PC, but you must have an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver to play games, even if you have an Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit."

    So you definitely can use your wireless controller, it just requires the adapter. There's more on that here:

    Compatibilidade entre Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Receiver 2.1 e Controle Xbox 360 sem fio

    Hi,

    The Wireless Optical receiver doesn't work with the Xbox 360 controller. The 360 uses it's own type of wireless protocol. To connect the controller you'll need a Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver.
