Xbox controller :/

[iimp]

Hey guys,

I have connected my xbox controller to my computer, but when i press the start button it turns on my xbox, is this meant to happen? As it is annoying should i just pulls the power from my xbox to avoid this and it keeps flashing as if it isn't connected.

Whats your operating system? I'll get you a download link, you have to download software from Microsoft.

Yeh i have the software, i think it's because my controller is wireless :/. Though i thought it was wired because of the USB

Are you saying that it is wireless, but, you are using the play and charge kit to hook it t your computer?

 

[iimp]

Yes i am XD, does that not work?

 

[PedoBear]

Nope, It will not :/
Does your computer have bluetooth by any chance?

Do you have any friends with wired controllers? See if they would trade for your wireless.
IMO wired controllers are so much better. I always worry that there is gonna be some interference with the wireless controller when I am playing. Even the littlest delay in your button presses registering gives other people an advantage.

The Play 'n' Charge kit doesn't transfer data. Therefore you can't use it on a PC. Just go get a wired controller. Also, there are drivers for the controller on microsoft.com(just go google it).
Also, they make Xbox controllers for PC. They're the same exact things pretty much except the PC ones cost a bit more.

ALSO, Go download Pinnacle Game Profiler. That way you can edit the controls to fit the controller. i.e. You set the "A" button to the space bar so you could jump, etc.

You can't use the play and charge kit - you have to buy a wireless thing. It's annoying i know, I think you can use the playstation controller with the charge unit it comes with though.

Microsoft does sell stations that allow you to hook Wireless Devices up, I would google it. I am guessing they aren't cheap though.
