How possible is it to make a wireless 360 controller into a wired one for use on PC?

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Just like the title says, would it be possible to make a wireless 360 controller into a wired controller for use on a pc? I'm tired of getting the charge packs that just stop charging after a while or after they get glitched up.

 

Thanks

    The hard way: If you are comfortable with soldering and like to take the controller apart, then it is possible, for example, to open up the controller, solder wires from buttons, trigger and joystick potentiometers…

    If you need only the conction from the controller to the pc you could use a receiver from microsoft (only works on windows) and for the batery problem just use a charger that you can play ate the same time.

    The goal of this would be to aviod having a battery pack and also not having to get the receiver.

    I think you can use one of these cable to always charge the controler,the part hacking the controlor to add a usb cable i think that is very hard and in my opnion not worth the effort.

     

    The only option is buying the receiver i think. image
