I use the Microsoft one, was around $15 on Amazon when I got it. If it was a perfect world, 360 and PC would have Bluetooth, then we wouldn't need any extra receiver. You can still use a "Play & Charge" cable kit, but it will only take power from USB to charge the battery pack, it will not work as a data cable. And usually costs a few $ more compared to the one without software.Īll u need is a wireless controller and receiver, no software, nothing else. The one labeled as "For Windows" comes with Windows software is all. The differences in 360 controllers are there is 360 Controller, and 360 Controller for Windows. This charger included 4x AA recharables, so then u already have 2 sets to swap back and forth with on your wireless controller. Plus the included charger allows using rechargable AAA if u have a use for them, like in a Camera for example. I got this Walmart for $20īut overall is good idea because then those AA can be used for basically anything. Instead of $20 for play and charge kit, I would instead get a good set of rechargable AA with wall charger combo pack.Īgain not the best price. Good thing is the wireless controllers auto-power-off when idle for certain period, I think 10 mins, not exactly sure on the time. Otherwise look on Ebay.ģ60 Wired Controller = $34.55 [360 Wireless Controller = $36.37 [360 USB Wireless Receiver for PC = $19.94 [If you play alot, the AA batteries won't last very long.
