The Xbox 360 controller uses a regular USB 2.0 connector. The only thing you are missing is the software. Microsoft has an article titled How to connect your Xbox 360 Controller for Windows to your computer.

In summary:

  • Download controller software for your operating system here.
  • Plug in your controller to a USB 2.0 slot.

Make sure they are done in that order, the controller isn't supposed to be connected while the software installs.

thanks this is probably what im looking for – Anonymous Sep 14 '09 at 2:14
Normally Windows should automatically detect and install the appropriate software when you first plug it in. This has always worked for me, though I can't remember if I ever tried it on XP. – Ryan Versaw Oct 2 '09 at 16:08
