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…

    I use the charge cable plugged in to charge my pack but what I did was take the receiver out of an old 360 and wired it to usb. It works plug and play with the microsoft xbox 360 drivers. Gotta sync the controller to the 360 first though and cant resync again unless you plug back to 360. Maybe a little unecessary work but I wanted a way to use my 360 controller with my pc and I didn't wanna buy anything.

    Sorry I just reread your post and I'm guessing you have the wireless pc receiver already. If these points exist on the reciever though I'm pretty sure it would be easy to find them on the controller itself.

    Game stop has wired controllers that I think play better then the MS counter part and still use the same drivers. All for a whopping 25 bucks new and 15 used I think.
