Hi all,

Before I purchase one I've got a wireless 360 controller but I want to use it on the PC....is it possible to connect it with the charge kit or will it not work and will be better off buying a wired one.

Thanks

You will have to buy a "Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows", charge cable didnt work for me, I just use a wired one on my pc.

Not sure about the charge kit thing as i have a stand alone charger (like those A LOT better) On a stannd alone charger you can always have one battery in the controller and another in the charger ready to go. trust me, if your are wireless and have the rechargable battery packs buy this:

But as far as the controller it works fine with the PC.

Just be aware that you have to initialize the controller to this receiver just like you did with your console when you first used it. And then will have to initialize it with the console when you use it on that. So basically you have to initialize it every time you switch from 360 to pc.

If you wanted you could buy a wireless logitec PC controller for about $10 more then that wireless receiver. This in the one i bought instead of using the 360 controller, the initializing back and forth was bugging me.
