Using Xbox version of 360 controller on PC

lemonade · 7 May 2012 at 19:40

I have the 'PC' version of the 360 controller which has developed a dodgy right stick, I've manage to mend it a few times and get it going but I think it's coming to the end of its life, so I was wondering if the Xbox version of the 30 controller will work on the PC, as I have the USB adapter thingy, don't want to buy the PC version as its nearly double the price!

Cheers

With the pc drivers I suspect it would, google it. you can buy the usb wireless adapter and use it that way.

Um, they're the same aren't they? All wired versions and all wireless versions (with the adaptor) work with PC afaik.

Yeah they're all the same. I've used 'PC' ones (both wired and wireless) on the Xbox and 'Xbox' ones (wireless) on the PC.

Yeap they are all the same. My son uses his pad to connect to my PC so we can both play Trine with our 360 pads

when i got mine they cost £5 more for the 'pc' version, i went to the blokes in purple. i was sure the xbox version would work fine in the pc but i asked the fella anyway to be sure and he said no it wouldn't, i made my case but he was adamant , i got the xbox one any way and it worked just fine.. just a way to rip people off who dont know better.

The 'PC' version was packaged with a driver CD.

That was/is the only difference. Hardware is identical!
