Assuming you are using the controller with a game that has proper gamepad support, you just need a USB adapter for the controller. The controller plugs into one end, and the other plugs into the computer’s USB port. You can probably find a cheap one on Amazon or eBay or something. Some games may not support the controller, in which case you would need a key mapper like JoyToKey or XPadder to basically make the controller emulate a keyboard/mouse. This is not necessary for a lot of games, though. ---

Do you have a wired or wireless controller? If it’s wired, you can just plug it in and play. If it’s wireless, you need a wireless USB adapater for your computer. The plug and play charger doesn’t work for anything but charging, I’ve tried. You need something like this: [http://www.ebay.com/itm/PC-Wireless-Gaming-USB-Receiver-Adapter-for-Microsoft-Xbox-360-Controller-White-/300874756480?pt=Video\_Games\_Accessories&hash=item460d887180](http://www.ebay.com/itm/PC-Wireless-Gaming-USB-Receiver-Adapter-for-Microsoft-Xbox-360-Controller-White-/300874756480?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item460d887180) Then follow this guide: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/6/8/868094450ad76feb760e72c6f4111c6dad1123b7.jpeg "Connecting Wireless Xbox 360 Controller to your PC [HD]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY8PIGO_li8) What game do you want to use a gamepad with though? If it’s a fps, I would advise against it, unless you’re just playing casually in campaign. Keyboard+mouse is worlds more accurate, and you won’t really be able to compete with kb+m users in online multiplayer. I tried using a gamepad in tf2, and crysis 2, and I got stomped. (Imagine trying to control you cursor using a joystick as opposed to a mouse. It sucks) Gamepads work for console games because often they’ll have a lot of aim assist. If you want to use it for racing games, fighting games, or emulating console games, gamepad will kick the pants off a kb+m usually. I recently played through megaman legends on a psx emulator, and the controller worked worlds better than my keyboard could have. ---

Oh, you were talking about the original xbox Not sure how to do that. You can pick up a 360 wired controller for pretty cheap though. like the afterglow controllers I’ve seen for $15 or so. @yoyofoot: I’m not sure what game that is, but it’s not C3. C3 is one of (if not the) best looking game graphically, as long as you have a strong enough pc to run it, and looks like this.

Yesterday, Terraria. It gets kinda boring when you go on a server and they give you stuff and then you get everything. Then you don’t want to do a single-player world, cause you are so slow, and you don’t have beast weapons.
