Every Xbox One controller is both a wired and wireless controller. When you attach one to an Xbox or PC with a USB cable, not only are the controller inputs sent through the cable, the controller is also powered by USB, so if you're using it wired you don't need to put batteries in it at all.
I’m not much of a game-head myself, but I do love Microsoft’s Xbox One and especially its nifty controller. Fits the hand like a glove and very comfortable too, it makes for a great way to full take advantage of the advance graphics that this Gaming Machine’s packin’.
Not me, I’m a PC and Laptop guy; not into Gaming Systems wither, as they frequently change and in my view, are being and will be made extinct by Tablets as concluded in Apple iPad Air’s the World Thinnest Tablet and Apple iPad Mini 2’s a 3DS and Vita killer
Gear of War just became my summer Friend along with the traditional Servings of Super Mario Land, Sonic the Hedgehog, Retro Arcade Style and yes…..I’m very much into TitanFall too. My other favourite titles aren’t much to speak of, but I love em’ to bitz:
- War Thunder
- Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare
- Neverwinter Nights 2
- Team Fortress 2
But alas, that’s mostly on my PC in Milk River, Clarendon, which is a 3.6 GHz Dual-Core 4 GB RAM packing a 500 GB SATA Deal that represents my investment in Desktop Computing muscle from my CLARO and later JAMALCO working years. On my Dell Lattitude D520 with its measly 1.73 GHz Intel Celeron with 2GB RAM and 80GB SATA Hard-Drive, it’s mostly Tetris, Star Defender 4 and even Bejewelled.
I’m planning to get some great Game Controllers so I can do some really serious Gaming and in the process, possibly do a Review or two on some of my favourite Games, of which there are many others….on my PC in Milk River, of course, when I come to visit Milk River on the Weekends. But the question begs; how do you connect the Xbox One Game Controller and thus take advantage of that level of comfort in Game Play on your Computer?

Introduction
Just like I am an obsessed case modder I also love to play games. I usually play FPS games but now and then I like to play something else. When I bought Tony Hawk Underground 2 the game simply wasn’t playable with a mouse and keyboard so I needed a gamepad. I had a lot of consoles but I like the Xbox controller the most of all, however that is a personal preference. The big plus of an Xbox is that it is in fact an extremely-modded PC: Well at least it is in my eyes.
So if you know how to strip and solder a few wires you can get your Xbox controller to work on your PC. Here’s how to do it.
First get an Xbox controller. You can buy one or just use the one you got with your Xbox. It really doesn’t matter because after where done you can use it on both systems, yes your PC as well as your Xbox, you will not lose a controller. This is what we need from the controller; it’s the part that you plug into your Xbox. Next thing we need is a USB cable.

Do not use USB extender cables you get with memory sticks or MP3 players, these will not work! It can even kill a USB port on your motherboard. Instead use a normal USB printer cable, like the ones used for HP and Canon printers. Now when you have your cable, measure a length of about 25 cm or 10 inches, and cut the cable there. Next cut down in the mantle until you exposed the inner wires, don’t go down to the copper. When your done you should have something resembling this.
Get that Xbox cable and a flat screwdriver and pry open the connector, take your time with this. When you have opened it up your done with the hard part and you should have something like this.

You’ll notice two small pins holding a “protection place” denying you access to the connector’s soldering pads, again use a small flat screwdriver or a knife to open it. Now just break that of by wiggling it back and forward, we don’t need it anymore it will only get in our way. As you can see we now have exposed the wires and soldering pads, that wasn’t so hard was it.
