Ok, I know that the wired XBOX 360 remote is compatible for PC games when playing them under bootcamp. Problem is, before I had the chance to buy myself a wired remote, my gf went out and bought me a second wireless remote for my 360 so she could play Halo with me.

Will I be able to use this remote for PC gaming? It came with the "plug and play" set, so it has a USB cable that comes with it. Will that work? Also, is there anything that I could buy to let me use the controller wirelessly with the PC?

Thanks!

The plug & play kit only charges the wireless pad, it does not turn it into a usb pad.

You can buy a wireless controller receiver which will allow you to use wireless controllers no bother with your pc
