Default Xbox 360 cable for PC use?
I want to use my xbox 360 controller on my PC for some games and I was wondering if this would do just fine. I know it charges the controller but does it also allow plug n play for the controller?

When I plugged my wired 360 controller to my PC, it worked without any drivers/softwares. I say it's plug and play.

Technically it should, but you'll need the drivers for it.

BountyHead is right, I made the mistake of trying that before doing any research. Waste of $15

Indeed, The only way to use the wireless controller is to use the wireless adapter.

Well pretty much any place that sells Xbox 360s should have it.

yea u will need the wireless adapter in order to use a wireless controller, the play & charge won't do anything more than charge your controller from any usb port. if you have a wired controller, you don't need to buy anything more, since it's already usb.
