Can I use my wired Xbox 360 controller to play games on my pc?

Of course! It's usb so just plug it in. I use mine all the time.
You don't need them, but there are even drivers on M$'s website. Mame should recognized the controller with no probs(you still need to edit the controls within the mame game). If there's a snag you can use a remapping program like xpadder.

It's worth pointing out that the same cannot be done with the wireless pad + USB charge cable.

You can use wireless 360 pads if you have the MS wireless receiver ($10-20). Turns your PC hooked up to a HDTV into a beefy "next gen" console.

I just bought a reciever from Amazon and got the shipping notice over the weekend. I saw it was coming via Hong Kong post and started looking around. It's fucking knock-off shit. Kind of pissed about that. See how it works when I get it. Apparently though, you can't just get a stand alone reciever any more. You need to shell out $50+ for a controller/reciever combo.

$12 and it works great. I've used mine with an arcade stick and wireless controllers with no probs. Great for Assassin's creed and gta.
