It says it's not recognized. However it works on my other computers. I tried the xbox 360 controller driver install, did not work. Help?

This Controller works on windows Vista, and windows 8, and is exextremely finicky with windows 7. It's really only made for xb360 though.

Let me know if you get it working. Don't use a USB hub. Connect the controller directly to the PC.

You actually can use it as a wired controller on pc. First, download the Xbox 360 software from here http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows . Then connect the controller to your pc and go to Device Manager. There should be a branch called unknown device. Double click it and choose to install existing driver, then pick the driver called xbox peripherals and then pick connection through Play and Charge kit. Hopefully this helped you.

I saw a thread on the AVS forum that described a similar issue with getting the 360 to work with a new set-up. See if this helps: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1250622&page;=29

he drivers will randomly work with different games randomly and there's nothing you can do about it unless you write your own drivers. If you want a better device get the xbox wireless receiver for computer and it works with regular Xbox controllers and you can use four on one wireless adapter. I gave up on the 3gc device cause it's crap. The wireless receiver uses microsoft drivers so it works with everything. Just search amazon for hde wireless usb xbox receiver and you'll find it.

could be a compatibility issue - most PC games with controller compatibility are set up to take on-brand xbox controllers, which have a particular kind of input. a lot of off-brand usb controllers have a different kind of input. since the game is set up to only recognize one kind of input, it wont recognize the off-brand controller as a controller at all. x360ce is a controller emulator program you can use to solve this problem. it switches the input so that the game recognizes the controller as a controller. i used it and it worked - you can find the program and tutorials on how to use it with google. it could also be because the controller isnt very good and just doesnt work.

It should be plug and play but if some reason a driver is corrupt, for example, you can go to microsoft's hardware site a download the driver package for the controller.

This controller is most likely a DirectInput device. It should work on any game that accepts DirectInput.Many developers have adopted Xinput since the release of the Xbox 360, so it will not work directly on a game that requires an Xbox controller, but there are programs like X360ce which can emulate an Xbox controller.

I haven't but when you conect this with directX my games and emulators automatically recognized my DualShock 3 as a Xbox360 controller, so the custom configurations for the xBox 360controller that i had automatically worked. If steam supports X360 controller this gives you one.

I think you need to buy an Xbox one adapter. I only used this for my xbox 360.

Vince, If you haven't figured it out yet, you have to pair the controller with your Xbox 360. On the top edge of the controller, between the shoulder buttons, there is a small button with three ))) coming off it. Hold it down until the ring of LED's blink around the controller's guide button, then press the corresponding ))) button on the console (round on the original and Elite models, and a small rectangle right up against the front USB ports cover) so that it also has it's LED ring blinking around the power button. The blinking means they're trying to discover eachother. This works for me, hope it does for you too!

Sorry to hear it didn't work with our laptop. I'm not teach support so I really can't help you other than to say I paired this controller with two home built pc's as well as an Asus laptop and I had no problems.

It should, its a normal Xbox 360 controller, but wired. All you need is the drivers and/or button mapping software. Look on youtube for assistance as one of those videos will have a link to this software.

I just set this up on a Windows 7 pc the other day (it had been running on an old xp machine), and it is a pain, but it does work with freestyler. Did you get the disc that comes with it? That small disc had the drivers for me. Then I downloaded freestyler online. I am thinking that the directions on the driver is something like "install first" and then plug in. Sorry I wasn't more helpful, but it will run freestyler once the drivers are set up.

This should work with anything that connects to a regular XBOX 360. You might have to do some extra setup to configure the racing wheel 100% correctly, but as far as I know racing wheels are just slightly differently setup XInput controllers. Best of luck :)
