Question about GTA IV PC and the Xbox Controller

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
Hey, I'm getting my rig finished up here in the next month. I'm mainly using it to play GTA IV and eventually GTA V. But for the time being, I want to use IV with an Xbox controller instead of the keyboard. Could I use my (modded rapid fire/regular black) controller on my PC without having to buy a special PC Xbox Controller?

Thanks,
OD Emperor

Edit: For anybody to view this in the future, the parts for the wireless gaming receiver you need to use a wireless Xbox controller is here:

Wait...


Are you trying to connect the Wireless Xbox 360 controller to the PC?

You can't use it on the PC by simply connecting the "charge cable."

If it is Wireless, you will need this:

If its a wired 360 controller it should work just by plugging it in, wireless is a different story lol. I use my PS3 DS3 on my PC using DS3 tool which makes it so the PC thinks its a 360 controller thumb.gif
