Thanks I was just wondering. Because I could get an adapter for 4 dollars on ebay. But if its going to be just as annoying as using my Ps3 controllers I will pass and just get 360. And I don't want to go with a kade for this because it's for a console pc project. (Coming soon)

Keep in mind:  The PC drivers for the original Xbox controllers only work with windows XP 32-bit.  Due to driver signing issues with Windows 7, it's not an easy feat.  Almost impossible without some coding.

Just wanted to make you aware...  I've researched this and ended up grabbing this Xbox One controller for $39.99 on Black Friday at BestBuy.com.  Works great with OFFICIAL drivers from Microsoft in Windows 7 64-bit.  But although it's wireless, it only works with a PC if it's plugged in via USB.  (For now).

I, at one point, managed to get original Xbox controllers working in Windows 8 but it required so much driver modification I can't remember how I did it.  And now my Windows 8 machine won't touch a Kade encoder.

 :lol

So, don't do it.  Ain't worth it.

I haven't even considered an xbox one controller. That would be better. It's the most comfortable controller I've held. (And I'm a playstation guy)

I never cared for the original XBOX controller because it felt like I was holding a potato.  I agree with you that the XB1 controller is great.  I hate the PS4 controller with it's super bright LED light.
