Do you buy any chance know how to attach a Original Xbox controller to a computer?
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 computerās 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.
Oh, so I need a USB adapter that fits it.
I know my game supports it just looked.
Do you have a wired or wireless controller?
If itās wired, you can just plug it in and play.
If itās wireless, you need a wireless USB adapater for your computer. The plug and play charger doesnāt work for anything but charging, Iāve tried.
You need something like this:

Then follow this guide:
What game do you want to use a gamepad with though? If itās a fps, I would advise against it, unless youāre just playing casually in campaign. Keyboard+mouse is worlds more accurate, and you wonāt 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 theyāll 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.
Itās just a game I can easily use with my mouse and keyboard I am just wondering what itās like. I have an Original Wires Xbox (non 360) controller.
Is that crysis 3?
If you want to get sometinhg cool, Google āPandora Handheldā
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 Iāve seen for $15 or so.
@yoyofoot: Iām not sure what game that is, but itās 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.

I play minesweeper.
Halo 2.
Isnāt that a screenshot of minecraft? Looks like an HD texture pack.
Look at the top right. Itās Crysis 3
Yesterday, Terraria. It gets kinda boring when you go on a server and they give you stuff and then you get everything. Then you donāt want to do a single-player world, cause you are so slow, and you donāt have beast weapons.
