This cable is male to female, it's like a 33' extension cord for your computer USB, What ever cable you need normally will still be needed.

Exactly the same mistake I made, save you the coat of having an extra USB extension as that is all this is. I purchased a second one, I believe it was cta? Works great, but make sure whatever you get it has the little wedge out of the corner.

The last time I checked, when I clicked the link to go to the product page, one of the pictures IS the official cable because of the embossed Microsoft logo, however, when I ordered one, I got a knock-off. I just recently found a first-party cable at Wal-Mart for twice as much, but at least I now have one that I know for a fact as first-party. As I said in my review, just to stay safe, your better off looking elsewhere because you don't have that guarantee here. I hope this helps.

I have the xbox 360 E model so I don't have to have any adapter, I just plug the 3.5mm into the plug in the back of the console and the usb in the usb in the back close to it so they are very close to each other and it works fine. For chat of course you have to plug the 2.5mm into the controller and everything works great. For the XBOX ONE you need an adapter I was told but don;t know for sure since I can't afford one. Hope that helps some with your question.

I have an old microsoft joystick with the gameport DB-15 connector. I bought this thinking I could go straight to the USB port and the machine would see it. It did not.. I actually found an older Soundblaster soundcard with a gameport, installed it in a PCI slot and that is working fine, if you have the slot and any sound card with a game port. Otherwise.. don't bother. There were some people talking about converters etc and I thought.... no .... either do what I did or buy a new USB joystick which you will need for newer games anyway...

This does not come with an extra bluetooth adapter. If you want to use it with your cimputer, your motherboard has to have bluetooth capabilities or you'll need to get a USB adapter for it. It will connect to your play station or Xbox without the adapter. I believe the adapter you are referring to is the stereo adapter. This provided adapter connects to your stereo or computer via a SPDIF cable. It us paired wirelessly to your headphones for the surround digital sound only... Just a heads up, i bought this item and the first one arrived with a defective battery. Second one, the sound was terrible. Gave up after the third try. Horrible product. Hope this helped.

I believe they work on all the devices. I have never looked at them to see if they said Wii,xbox etc. That being said I have never bought one that didn't work on our device and we have quite a few characters. You would think if I weren't looking I would mess up at least once and buy the wrong one.

No Andrew,The problem is there is no driver for xbox. Microsoft wants to be sure you have to buy their overpriced unit.I think Linksys makes one but it's overpriced too.

I own 2. This is a knock off of Microsoft's Wired 360 controller. The trigger inputs are binary, rather than analog. The joysticks are not calibrated properly. They seem to always been pointing in a direction at 1/4 throttle. The joys sticks also have huge dead spots. The vendor, "1Bad", did not do a great job with this controller. The price speaks for itself. If you don't mind these flaws, and just need a gamepad with a few working inputs, this is the controller for you. I would not recommend it though. Good luck in your search for a usb controller.

I actually don't know anything about xboxes. All I can tell you for sure is that I have a cable coming from a receiver that I use to listen to music from my MacBook. I decided that I wanted to be able to occasionally use it as well to listen to my iPhone, but the connection wasn't right. I bought this jack for the male end of the stereo cable, and now I use it for both the computer and the phone. Works just fine.

I am not % 100 sure. My past experiences with gaming headsets leads me to believe that in general if you buy one that is for both Xbox and pc it means you will have either an adapter or different wires. Also you want to make sure you read about what kind of ports the headset needs, "does it use USB ports or does it use headphone jacks?".

Hi there, I found out that all these cables are useless! Only the converter device worked for me! Of course I have not checked them with every equipments, but I wasted money on five or six different cables, and none of them actually worked for any degree of satisfaction! And I was too lasy to return them, mainly because I lost the track of them when I bought them and what was the name of the cable!

Unplug the factory a/v plug and the new cable look the same and fit in the same location. The plug connector is in the back, middle section of the xbox. Connects next to an hdmi connection. To me the connection resembles a very large hdmi plug. Goodluck

Don't overlook the mini USB looking power cord (not pictured with item at Amazon but should be shipped with the converter). I initially did not see the mini power cord when I got unit and it took me a few minutes to figure out why the unit was not functioning. Converter must have separate electrical power source to operate. There is a very small connection port for the power cord on top of converter (looks like mini USB). Connect the RCA and HDMI cables as directed, connect power cord to converter and plug power cord plug into the wall ( I had to use an extension cord to reach outlet and it works fine). You should be good to go.Hope this helps. Don't overlook the mini USB looking power cord (not pictured with item at Amazon but should be shipped with the converter).

I don't think it will play through the Kinect. I read the game manual insert and the entire case and the Kinect wasn't mentioned. I have the 360 version, so if you have the Xbox 1 it may have added features, however I don't know. I played the entire game without seeing any mention of it. I hope this helped answer your question.

My opinion is, the one I bought did not work at all. It did nothing. It says its compatible with anything that has a standard USB but I couldn't get it to function at all. Had several genius folks look at it and still got nothing.

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.
