How do you connect xbox 360 controller to PC?

Hey guys,
just wondering if this is possible with a normal xbox 360 controller. Sorry if this is a n00bish question.

The wired controllers should be USB, which is no problem to hook up to your computer (Unless you're running something like an 8088). If you have a wireless controller, you need to get something like this.

As long as you are using windows & a wired controller then I know for a fact it will work.... not too sure about other OS's though.

The wireless adaptor I had was trash. Just buy a wired and save yourself the trouble.

Would one of these things do the trick?

It could... & its cheap, so might as well give it a shot

It won't. That cable only provides power, the wireless 360 controller can only communicate wirelessly.
