Actually, yes you can, nick l has no idea what he is talking about, you have to do some modding, but I have done this myself, so I know for a fact it works, the original Xbox controllers are actually USB gamepads, and that odd oval shaped controller connector is actually a morphed USB port

This is how Microsoft made people think it wasn't USB





To make the original Xbox controller compatibe with a PC, first you need an unused USB cable, the breakaway cable (the part that goes between the console and the breakaway connector), and some electrical tape, simply cut the odd oval USB

connector off, strip some of the casing back so you can get to the 5 wires, now do the same with the USB cord, you will need the breakaway adapter and the rectangular USB connection, once you get both cables stripped, you will notice that the 4 wires in the USB cable have the same color as 4 wires

in the breakaway connector, simply strip the wires and match the colors, yellow is the only exception, you will not use the yellow wire, tape the connections with electrical tape and connect the USB/breakaway cable into your compuer, connect the xbox controller to the breakaway adapter, you should

Report Abuse



now get a bubble saying you have connected a new device, and it should say that you connected an Xbox controller, now install the XBCD driver (do a google search for XBCD controller driver), after you have installed the driver, you can now ise the controller like it was made for a PC
