xbox controller on pc

[mufc802]

Can I use an old xbox 360 controller on my pc? I guess I need the wireless gaming reciever but will my controller work as it came with the xbox I bought ages ago or do I have to buy one that says compatible with windows?

I was playing fifa on the pc and it's so damn hard play using a keyboard!!!

Thanks, I bought the receiver it should come soon but also a new controller so I can have the old one as a spare or for two player.

It's a bit annoying that the recharger kit only comes with one rechargeable battery so I need another one for the new controller.

The receiver and wireless controller work perfectly, I don't know why I've waited this long to get one. I can now play racing and football games without totally sucking at it!

The charger kit that came with the controller actually plugs into the PC as well using the USB slot and I can play while it is charging as the cable is nice and long. My old charger just plugs into the mains and I had to detach the battery from the controller so it was unusable while charging. Good stuff.
