Xbox 360 wireless pad on my PC

[ralen]

Hi,

After reading this thread, it got me thinking..

Although I love gaming on my Xbox 360- I recently played for the first time- a game on my PC and the graphics were so much better. (Both are connected to my 42" LG plasma). The main reason Ive never been interested in PC gaming is that I prefer using a gamepad and have never really got on with PC pads.

Now.. if you are able to use a WIRED 360 pad on the PC- is there anyway I can use my WIRELESS pads on my PC?

I don't know what kind of signal these pads use, but my PC has infa-red, and Bluetooth.

Am I able to do it, and if so- How do I go about it?

Thanks

i knwo there is a program called xpadder that will configure the controller for you once its connected, also try turning your xbox controller on and the search for devices using bluetooth, but im pretty sure microsoft is selling a wireless usb for xbox 360 controller. I on the other hand stuck with the wired usb madcatz controller ^^ works a dream.

Ive got it working now. I had to buy a wireless receiver which is a genuine xbox 360 part. Its used to connect the wireless headset to the 360, but can also be used on the pc. So now I can connect my wireless 360 pad, and headset to this receiver.

Although; I only play one game on the PC which is COD4, and I dont know how, or if I am able to use the pad with this game. Anyway, Ive got the headset working using Ventrillo. :)

Cheers
