Connect Xbox 360 Controller without adapter

Postby KeytoneLarone on Fri Nov 28, 2014 1:00 pm

I am attempting to connect my xbox 360 controller without an adapter and have no idea if it is possible. I do have 2.4Ghz mouse and keyboard usb adapters if that can help with any workaround. Would love to have some advice on the matter. Thanks in advance

I don't think this will work, but here.

Basically, try forcing the xbox360 wireless driver on your adapter to see if it works. I think that's for generic 360 accessories, though it's worth a shot.

Find it. You may have the correct driver installed, so it will show as a wireless receiver or something. Update thedriver as it were the unknown device like the video. If it didn't work, you'll have to get a wired controller or a generic cheaper 360 receiver.

So manually forcing the Xbox driver on to your receiver didn't work?
