Xbox360 Controller Adapter needed

[rpg4e]

hi, i have an xbox360 with 4 wireless controllers. I was told that I can also use these controllers on a PC, but need a receiving station for this. So my question: What is the name of the wireless adapter that I need in order to be able to use the controller on the PC.

does anyone have a link to amazon or ebay?

You need one of these dongle in the picture, it allows you to use a xbox 360 controller on PC.

the 360 uses radio signals instead of bluetooth, so yes, you need some sort of adapter. there was an official one, but it's been discontinued for years due to issues with it. I never encountered these issues myself.

Here’s an example:
I’m not aware of any issues with the Microsoft manufactured ones. I think they are discontinued since the Xbox 360 control has been discontinued for a long time and newer Xbox wireless controllers use a different wireless protocol. I believe the OEM may have only been available with a controller.

Unfortunately the generic ones now seem to cost as much as the OEM ones used to. I think the generic ones are less reliable overall.

The Xbox 360 ring of light board can be modded for USB support.
