How Do You Convert An Xbox Controller Into A PC Controller Without Soldering It?
It would come as a surprise for most people to learn that there is a way to use an Xbox 360 controller with their PC. It would likely surprise them even more that it isn’t difficult. Microsoft has actually made a piece of software that will allow your computer to recognize an Xbox 360 controller as a legitimate game controller, which then allows you to use your controller with some of your favorite PC games. Plug your Xbox 360 controller into one of your computer’s USB ports. Alternatively, if you have a wireless controller, plug in your wireless gaming receiver. Download and install the appropriate drivers for your controller from the Microsoft website. (The link is included in the “Resources” section.) Ensure your controller is working properly by going into the “Start” menu and selecting the “game controllers” icon. You should see your controller listed in the controllers menu. Your controller is now installed and will work with compatible Windows games.
