I have a wireless xbox controller that I use for my xbox with a wired charger/usb chord, and when i try to plug it into my laptop, it recognizes that driver software needs to be installed, but isn't recognized/detected any where else. Also, when I try to turn on the controller it just flashes. Anyone know what might be wrong?

No, it definitely works. I know for a fact you can use an xbox controller on a pc.
