I was wondering If anyone had ever used an Xbox controller on PC as I've heard It's possible and whether I should do it?

Ive used it and it's possible as long as you have a usb port to plug it into.

It has to be a wired xbox controller.

You need a usb port on your pc.

I would recommend it because using a keyboard can get a little bit annoying after about 1 or 2 hours of playing.

It will be a more enjoyable experience for you. 8)

Wow...I can't believe someone would ask this.

Why would you EVER think of using a controller on a PC platform? That's like putting a Toyota engine in a Ferrari shell.

...It's just wrong.

You'll also be at a HUGE disadvantage due to a mouse being far more superior in aiming that some clunky controller.

Obviously PC is not for you.

Go back to your outdated 7 year old Xbox.

I second this, I have Black ops on both xbox and pc, and i prefer pc because of the keyboard/mouse setup

I use my controller for games like GTA but there no good for competitive shooters. If you just plug a wired controller in Windows will install the drivers automatically.

Yes, and you still have a Apple II computer.
