Yes you can. I suggest that you buy a wired controller, a wireless controller you need to buy a receiver which costs about $20 dollars and I had a hard time finding one, so you can just save money by buying a wired one with cost about $25, after you get a controller you need to download a driver here is the link http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows and some games don't allow you to customize the button layout so download xpadder the link is http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Xpadder.shtml xpadder is awesome.

∙ 15y agoThe basic wiring setup is the same for each controller, in USB format. The difference is in the connection terminals. The Xbox controller has a much different connector-type than the Xbox 360, which is nothing more than a typical USB plug.
The only way to make it work would be to get or create an adapter harness to convert the Xbox connector into a USB type. It would be easier to buy a 360 controller, and more efficient since the 360 controller added two new buttons and functions to the older Xbox controller.

∙ 10y agoYes, if you have a wired Xbox controller you can just plug it into any USB port(2.0 and up) and windows will sort the drivers out for you (Not 100% on XP but tested on Windows 7 and 8).
If you want to use a wireless controller you will need a wireless gaming receiver which again plugs into one of your USB ports. you can get this from ebay, amazon, etc...

∙ 14y agoXbox 360 controllers work on the PC with just an inexpensive adapter that can be purchased, and Windows will recognize it as a gamepad immediately. All functions of the controller - vibration, etc - will be worked as wll. For the original xbox controllers, however, a third party adapter must be used.

Hardly any games let you use a controller that are made for the computer, whether or not you can play against people playing the 360. If there's no option in the settings of the game to use a controller on the computer game, then you can't.
