  • Notice to Wireless Controller Users: You may have a wireless controller that can work by itself with the PC, but unable to get connected accessories to work correctly through the wireless controller. After gathering a lot of info about different complaints on the web through google about wireless 360 controllers, most likely I will not be able to do anything about it with my library. The library simply takes info directly from the XInput.dll and gives it to you. There is no special separate XInput functionality and/or parameters for me to use/differentiate between wireless connections and wired connections. That's the XInput DLL's job because all we want is the data/info it gives us. Wired + Accessories works 100%, but wireless + Accessories don't? There's no special XInput option for me to enable for that. It doesn't work like that.
  • Note: The "Guide" Button on the gamepad for example is for Microsoft use only. I am not able to supply a function for it's use as there is no XInput functionality for me to code it.


Some problems found from the web about wireless controllers:

  • old firmware on older generation controllers will not work for the PC period.
  • people try to use the charger adapter usb cable to connect the wireless controller directly to the PC like a wired controller. People say they got it to work that way, but I would be scared about frying something like that. I don't recommend that at all.
  • Apparently there are two flavors of the 360 gamepad. It will say on the it's packaged box, made for PC ( or Windows ) or made for XBox360. I never seen anything like that and wouldn't have any clue how you can tell which one you have.
  • There's also talk about problems with the wireless controller wanting to much power through the usb receiver that the controller itself may or may not work. If that's true, I can understand why connected accessories don't work. Needs more juice! If your headset is not working with your wireless gamepad, this is probably the reason.
  •  This wireless 360 receiver for the PC thing seems to not be in production anymore. Major stores around here don't carry it and these stores are even out of stock to order them online. Wonder why?


Just in case, this is the direct instructions on how to connect a wireless controller with the PC receiver:

This is where I'm getting all these wireless issues from at google:

[ Network Question ]
Will network programming guru's out there be able to take the current sound data and send it over the network to another user and be able to hear the voice sound data good enough? Like with XBox Live? For me, the sound data sounds good enough when played into my XBox 360 headset. If you try, please let me know how it goes. Thanks


  • You can use any XBox360 controllers like the gamepad and the guitar that have drivers made for them for the PC!
  • Download is in rar format. Don't have a utility to unrar rar files? Search google for Winrar!
