Can you use a wireless xbox 360 controller for PC?

[MattTheMayor]

I'm about to sell my peasantbox 360 to get some money for PC parts. I really liked playing FIFA so I decided to get it on PC, along with some racing games. It looked like they will have bad controls with kb + mouse so I'm gonna use an xbox controller. Can I keep my wireless controller and use it? Do I need to get a usb connector thing? I don't really want to spend an extra 40 bucks to get a controller.

Yes, you just need the USB receiver for the PC and the controller will work.

 

This is the official one, there are cheaper third party options but I have not tested any of them I just used the official one.

Yes, you just need the USB receiver.

Do you happen to know where I can get one?

it's also very easy to set up once you have the receiver.
