How to Use the XBox Wireless Joypad

The Microsoft Xbox, like other sixth-generation home-gaming consoles, primarily makes use of wired controllers to play games. However, a number of wireless controllers, developed by third-party companies, allow users to play the Xbox via wireless connections up to 50 feet away from the console. If you wish to use one of these controllers with your Xbox, you can do so easily.
