How do I get the game to recognize and allow the use of a xbox 360 game controller?

Is the controller wireless or wired? Or have u used the controller on other games before

Do you have the wireless adapter for the PC? It should recognize it once the drivers are installed.

I have a wired xbox 360 game controller, I just plugged it in the USB port of my computer and the game automatically recognized it. It also asks you when you about to play a match to Press the Accept Button on the controller you want to use, so I've had no problems using the xbox 360 controller for this game. Not sure how a wireless controller would work.

I am using win xp, but the one thing I remember is that there is a xbox 360 driver for controls that windows installed automatically, make sure that happened.I think u can also download it at Microsoft web.remember to have your mode button on to use the stick for certain retro games

it should it reads in windows as a generic usb game controller. there are no drivers for this because windows built in drivers work for this.

it works with games that say they have controller support if you want to use it with a game that does not you can set what the buttons do with programs like xpadder

I've used it a bit to try it out. My copy of Halo: CE (the first one) responds to it (although there's less buttons than on the XBox Controller) so I suppose it's possible it would work for other games.

I don't have mine yet but from what I've read, most games will be compatible. Many newer games are even being made with this specific controller in mind so that helps.

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

I have tried and tested this controller with my Xbox and it works fine. I am able to turn the console ON using this controllers. May be you should call tech support.

You should be able to push the "analog" button to turn it on, but it must have a charge. Personally I can't get it to work with any of my games. Should have spent the extra money on a 360 controller :/

Yes, it's absolutely compatible, right off the bat. You just need to plug the controller (or turn it on, if using a wireless controller + a wireless usb dongle), and when you boot up the game, you can control it with the controller.

This deviceoes not require a 'controller' - its support is builtin to Windows 7 and up; and probably also in XP. My machine recognized it w/o anything else.

You might have to configure it to work for games from Steam. I use x260ce app to configure. As 'ian' has mentioned, its a hit or miss. I would recommend xbox controller as well.

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 am having the exact same issue. I paid the extra money so I would have an authentic Xbox 360 controller with the dual usage option. It works great for my PC games. ( Skyrim in particular) however it was also suppose to be the second controller from my Xbox for when guests come over. I did push the button ))) to try and allocate it to the xbox but it just WILL NOT recognize it. I also feel like an idiot because I bought it months ago but only recently went to use the controller with the xbox and realized it doesn't work. I have a basic 4gig xbox 360 not a slim.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

I have an Xbox 360 wired controller that works very well with my Windows 1 laptop. Make sure that when you load the game that you go to options and configure the customizable controls as using the Xbox Controller.
