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, coming out to where the battery pack used to be, and put a teensy there acting as a USB HID gamepad to the computer, wiring the power and ground from the teensy to the gamepad, to power it. (I would double check the voltages, but it's probably 3.3V on both)
Additionaly, it could be possible to still use it with the xbox 360, it would work wirelessly, but using the USB for power. If we are not interfaceing with a chip in the xbox gamepad, but reading the buttons and pots directly (easier programming, but 21 wires), then technically it could be used with both at the same time. We'd have to use pretty thin wires, to fit it all in there. I havn't modded a 360 controller, but when I did a N64 controller like this, it was interesting getting it back together. But in the end, I had a N64 controller that I made myself that showed up as a USB gamepad on the computer.
It's alot of work, but if interested, then it can be a fun and rewarding project
