    xbox 360 controller wired


    why did microsoft make a wired controller that does,nt connect to the console ? . i dont understand ,i was fed up with having to change batteries a cruscial momment i a game , you,ve just spent ten minuites fighting a boss when the batteries go and your stuck while the boss batters you to death. so i bought a wired controller great i unbox it ,take the end of the wire to the console , and yes you know , im trying to stick it in any hole i can see. i unplug all the connections and im turning the console every which way trying to find the port. of course there is none. what are they thinking. yes i found out on the web you have to buy a usb adapter , but why?

    :)

    controller for Windows

    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.

    Wired controller not working in pc

    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.

    Trying to hook up xbox 360 controller to pc for pc games

    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.

    Xbox 360 controller won't detect on a Windows 7 pc

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

    Xbox one

    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)
