Ok, I have already done this so I know what im talking about.

You must get a wired xbox 360 controllor. Then there is a link on the back of the box next to the windows logo that sayz go here to get drivers. The xbox 360 controllor uses a 9ft USB cable. The xbox 360 is compadible with wireless and usb controllors so you dont need an adaptor. If you are looking to play halo with it then don't because you will get your but kick keyboard and mouse it much better for a fps.

There is an Xbox 360 controller specifically made for computers. Check your local Circuit City or Best Buy to find one. There are also some aftermarket adapters for the original Xbox controllers.

As for the differences in the controller versus keyboard and mouse, use both. You'll notice that the keyboard and mouse have certain limitations while the controller has none. Use those limitations to your advantage. You sound like you have the upper hand here. As a CONSOLE player you should notice the advantages right off the bat. The keyboard and mouse boys probably have no idea. They'll talk a bunch of junk. But the fact is that if someone has host, they should win. When I have host with my buddy the S controller, they get OWNED.

I don't know about the wireless, I think the kit to plug it into your 360 to charge might work. Just guessing, not too sure.

Just buy a every day wired xbox 360 controllor it will work.

Wireless will not work even if you computer has the drivers you have no way to communitcate with your computer because the wireless adapter is built into the xbox 360controllor and the xbox 360.

A xbox 360 wired controllor right out the box will work with your computer. No adaptors. You will need to get the drivers from the site on the back of the box. Just go to your walmart or target or where ever you go and look at the box it comes in you will see the link.

Once again I have already done this. So I know what I'm talking about.

Ok its this simple. Buy the xbox 360 controller that comes with the drivers disc at a local store/online. If they dont have the ones with the drivers, just buy a regular 360 controller and download the drivers online.

the xbox 360 controller is a USB interface so theres no adapters or anything. Just plug it into your computer and thats it, or into a 360. Works for both.

fine I will take pictures of me taking the xbox 360. I will take a picture of it pluged into the FRONT of my pc so you can see it is connected. Then I will take a picture of the xbox controllors drivers in the config. window. Then I will show you me playing halo with it. It will be a step by step guide. i would do it on video but that is too much space and time and My dad probably won't let me video tape me pluging a stupid controllor into my computer just so some dumbass will be happy.

I will do it tomarrow when I get home from school it is 11 here I should really be sleeping.

do you know what a USB cable looks like? how are you guys having trouble understanding this. Im sorry but you guys are seriously retarded.

You buy a 360 controller, download the drivers, and plug it in. THATS ALL. its not hard so stop making it complicated. If you can plug a lamp into the wall then you can do this.....
