Xbox 360 Controller help

[masked106]

Hi guys.

 

using a Xbox 360 wireless controller that is operated by batteries that i buy from the local store. it was running low and so i thought why not see if i can charge it? im currently (hopefully) charging it now but i wanted to know if its running smoothly.

 

1. the controller has turned on. but i am studying atm so i cant test it with games. should this happen if its charging?

2. Will it charge okay with plug and charge kit despite using batteries from a store?

3. when i plugged it in the charge kit that connects via usb to my PC lit up for a split second then the small light disappeared. does this mean its charging?

 

all help would be appreciated from someone who is new to the Master Race

The Play and Charging kit will NOT work to connect your controller to your pc, it is for charging purposes ONLY. You will need a wireless receiver, you can find one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Black-PC-Wireless-Controller-Gaming-Receiver-For-MICROSOFT-XBOX-360-/300694986418

If you dont have a rechargeable pack it wont recharge. However, it takes the power from the charger over the batteries so you could play with it connected and not need the batteries.

You need to use the play and charge battery pack in order to be able to charge the batteries while they are still within the controller. If you stick rechargeable batteries into the standard battery holder and connect a charging cable you are not charging the batteries and are instead simply powering the controller from the cable.
