A cool Xbox Trick I Found Out + Question

[Deleted]

So I have a plug and play kit for my Xbox 360. It's a rechargeable battery with a cord that connects the top of the controller to the USB ports in the Xbox. You can charge the battery while using it, but I found out that you don't even need the rechargeable battery to use it! An xbox controller with NO batteries (the normal battery holder is empty) will play if you plug the cord in, then the rechargeable battery can play on it's own.

Yeah I should have known that but it still blew my mind when I realized that the controller I was playing with had no batteries. The reason I made this thread, though, is this:

Can I use the plug and play cord to play PC games with my controller?

No. It only functions as a power cord and does not transmit information. trust me i tried. You can use a wired controller for it thought but you need a reciever for the wireless ones

No. Trust me, I've tried.

You need a wireless adapter to be able to use a wireless controller, recharge cord or no, with the PC.

You can still recharge it using the PC though.

No, but you can get a special adaptor thingy that allows you to use your xbox controller with PC games.

Aww, well that sucks. Thanks for your help though.

I thought everyone knew that. I lost my battery pack for my other controller, so it's the only way to do two player on my 360. And, only certain games are controller compatible. Fallout 3 is, and a others I don't know of.

Yeah I thought it might be common knowledge, but none of my friends who own it knew.
