Hack an Xbox controller to play games on your PC, so you aren’t stuck with some crappy store-bought attempt at the original glory.

    That’s pretty handy, but I don’t know why you would want to. X-Box controllers are so uncomfortable and clunky.

    Or you could just buy an xbox 360 controller that will work right of the box, and isn’t as big as a tank.

    OR, you could NOT open the controller and just use one of the many diagrams for wiring the existing cord so as to allow it to connect to both the xbox and the PC..

    or you can buy one of the cheap converter cable. They cost less than ten bucks, and they can be easily removed.

    I find that Xbox controllers are really great for racing games, if you lack a steering wheel. The paddles make the acceleration and breaking feel really quite good.

    But yeah, you can find converters… if you’re a wimp who doesn’t want to break stuff open! Like me.
