[QUOTE="Caboose84020"]So, I guess I'll need the official adapter then?singo79
Can you confirm how old your controller is? The reason that I ask is because it can effect the compatibility between the controller and the new wireless PC receiver. I have been there and been burnt unfortunately, as my original wireless controller (bought when I bought my Xbox360 back in 2006) was not compatible with the new wireless receiver for windows. Apparently it has to do with the firmware on the original controller. If you bought the controller in the last year or two I can't imagine it being a problem. But I ended up contacting Microsoft and they advised me that there was a known issue due to the firmware. In the end I had a wireless receiver that I couldn't use and had to end up buying an Xbox360 controller for Windows. Just do some more homework before making the decision to outlay any money.

Well, the controller I use came with my new X360 Elite, Christmas of last year. (2009)

Cant you buy the wired USB ones anymore?Iantheone


I don't like the Mad Catz ones or whatever they are. I like Mircrosoft's design much better.

Okay, so I want to play Games for Windows on my laptop, it's got a Asus RoG, and it has a built-in infrared receiver. I have downloaded and installed Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories Status, but I do not have the official Wireless Gaming Adapter. Is there a way to connect my wireless controller to my laptop using the integrated infrared receiver? (I do have the eHome Infrared Transceiver drivers)

Also I have Windows 7 64 bit.
