yes, all you need is a program called Xpadder to run it as your mouse

Any one will work, and a wireless one would work to with the wireless receiver accessory.

EDIT: A lot of new games have support built in for it, so you don't actually need a program like Xpadder for it to work.

Yes you can.
It's a Plug & Play device too, although if memory serves Windows Update will ask to download a 5 MB update for it.

Any wired controller is supported since they are all USB 2.0

I made the mistake of buying a wireless one the first time and I did not know you need a M$ proprietary adapter to connect it to a pc. Load the drivers on the M$ site and your good to go.

that program is to use your controller like a mouse. Fact is even games that don't "officially" support it will still see the controller as some type of game controller or generic device with buttons and you would program it manually, like with a ps3 controller.

No you don't, if you are running win7 then it will auto-install drivers, and a lot of games support it. racing games especially. It can also be configured as a normal gamepad as well.
