How to Use the XBox 360 Wireless Receiver on Your PC

Microsoft took ample time developing an ergonomic, easy to use wireless controller for the Xbox 360. If you also enjoy PC gaming, you can use any Xbox 360 wireless accessory, such as the controller or headset, to play any "Games for Windows" title. But do not expect the Xbox 360 wireless device to pair with your PC without any additional accessory. Microsoft sells the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for this purpose. Install the receiver's device drivers to start connecting your console's wireless devices to your PC.
