using xbox 360 wireless joysticks with a pc

Post by Tikker »

I'm pretty sure Lyion does this



if so, how? is there just a simple dongle to purchase?

and will it work with win7?

Actually, I use a wired 360 Controller for my PC. I've never tried the wireless. The wired one works with both the 360 and my PC and is plug and play.

The cord on the controller is actually long enough to go from my PC to my loveseat if I want to play on my LCD TV in my office.

I had seen hose previously, but theyd been described as winxp only(that's why I asked if it was win7 compatible)

And usuallyentiomed as not available anymore

I think he was asking for feedback, not googleback.

Sorry I can't give you any on a wireless one, but the wired one works great and is super easy to use.

Eh

There's a lot of stuff that won't work between winxp and vista/win7

They're pretty different os

There's also the whole 32 bit Vs 64 bit issues for hardware

Works fine on Win7 x64. I bought an xbox wireless receiver and I used it for playing DCUO.
