[+22] How can I play PC games with xbox controller?

[Richie]

I want to play fifa 2012 (pc) with my xbox controller. How can I do this? I'm assuming I need wired controllers.

You do not need a wired controller. I got the official Microsoft one, as I got the controller with it - but I assume most adapters will work. Check here; http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_...er+for+windows

If a game is not compatible with a controller (I believe Fifa is), then you can use a program such as xpadder - it basically allows you to map the controls so it will work (eg. make a left turn on a controller would be a=left analog stick right). Really easy to use, and works a treat

Oh yeah, you can use the wireless reciever as well. But that's it as far as xbox controllers go.
