Note A standard Xbox 360 wired controller can be connected to a Windows PC by way of the USB port, but drivers must be installed before the controller will work. Install using the installation CD: To install the software using the installation CD that came with your Xbox 360 Controller, follow these steps. This wikiHow teaches you how to connect a wired Xbox 360 controller to your Windows 8 PC. In order for this process to work, you must be using a hardwired Xbox 360 controller; the USB charge-and-play cable that you can plug into wireless controllers will not allow you to connect to a PC.
P Xbox 360 Controller Drivers
Hi, i want to connect a xbox 360 controller to my windows 8 computer, but i want to ask a few questions before i buy one, since i otherwise use a ps3 controller. First of all, do i need any drivers for an xbox controller on windows 8, or are they preinstalled? Can i just plug the controller in to the pc and use it? If not, where can i get the drivers? Do i have to buy a controller that comes with a cd with the drivers on them, or can i use a controller that came with a xbox 360? And how do i connect a controller to steam?
