OS: Windows 8.1
I'm considering bying a Xbox 360 Wireless Controller to use on my pc, but i'm wondering if i need a special reciever for it to work. I already have a Bluetooth donglew on my pc (asus bt400) which I use to Connect my ds4 to, but i want more Controller so i was wondering if I could Connect a 360 Controller to it as well. The 360 Controller drivers are Integrated in Windows 8.1 right? What do i need to get a Wireless 360 Controller to work With my pc?

*The above works, but if he's buying a NEW wireless controller the USB receiver comes bundled with it.

(I bought the above knock-off after my official one broke and it worked.. Microsoft bundles the receiver with new kits but doesn't sell the receiver standalone.)

Just make sure it is the WINDOWS version, not for the XBOX 360 otherwise you won't get the receiver.

Probably best to just pick one up at a local store.
