xbox 360 controller wired

To play on a PC with an Xbox 360 controller you need to get a wired controller. On Xbox 360 the "wire" is only used for charging on the wireless controller.

Hi,

The simple answer is because a 360 wireless controller can't be turned into a wired controller. The wire can only charge, it can't send data. Only the Xbox One pad allows both wired and wireless.

For the 360 controller you'll need the Xbox 360 gaming receiver.

Hello im tring to hook up my xbox 360 controller with charge cord....

H,

That's your problem, right there. Unfortunately, if you connect your wireless Xbox 360 controller with a charging cable, all your doing is charging the controller.

The 360 wireless controller can't be turned into a wired controller with the charging cable as neither the controller or the wire were designed to send data this way.

You either need 360 wired controller or an Xbox One controller. Xbox One controllers can use wired or wireless, but wireless is only supported via Windows 10.

Hope that helps.

Hi, are you connecting a wireless xbox 360 controller or a wired 360 controller, and are they official controllers?

That would be almost impossible for these few reasons:

1: The wireless format on the 360 and Xbox One are different (Xbox One uses blutooth 360 doesn't)

2: The 360 controller can be plugged in using a USB cable, but that just charges it, it doesn't send the data through the wire.

The only way that we could use 360 controllers on the Xbox One would be a hardware redesign or a system update which would only allow the wired 360 controller (not wireless 360 plugged in, I mean the purely wired 360 controller)
