Do I need the a wired controller? Or do I just plug the usb into the xbox and that's it?

Yes. you must have a wired controller. I highly recommend you order a Microsoft wired controller. Some people say the AIMON works with third party wired controllers but those break a lot faster.

You do need a wired controler everytime you want to play. I always leave my controller plugged in to use my headset.

The aimon is great and yes you do need an official Xbox controller. If you really want the best research the XIM edge and XIM 4 I use the edge with a Razer orbweaver and Logitech G400s mouse

no I believe the original xbox controller had a round plug similar to gamecube. there may be an additional adapter to convert to usb but the product in question only has a usb port and a ps2 controller port

Wade, I did get the wired controller. Don't know if the wireless unit is as good. Enjoy Wolfenstein...amazing graphics and great story line with tons of REAL challenges.

You might have to download the Microsoft drivers that are required to use a basic wired controller. Considering at the base level, it's just a controller. If you google "Microsoft driver 360 wired" you should get it. It's a small download that'll let you use any wired 360 controller.

I believe that the USB cable is for the controller to be synced to the XBOX when you attach the adapter.

it comes with a usb dongle (hidden between the joy sticks). just plug it in and it'll self install the drivers (windows 7 tested). after that it's up to you to bind the buttons to your games. the usb cable does nothing but charge it

No you don't have to have a cable to plug it in, it plugs inside the xbox console. So it plugs in directly.

Button presses (user inputs) and rumble feedback are examples of data that is sent to and from the controller. Wired controllers inherently have less input latency than wireless. The wireless Xbox 360 controller would only send charge power to the controller over USB and not data. You'd have to get a wired Xbox 360 controller if you wanted to decrease the latency in your gaming experience. As for the Xbox One controller, according the official support page, "When the charge cable is attached, the wireless controller converts to a wired controller." - http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/connect-charge-cable-to-controller And according to the IGN wiki, "When you plug a micro-USB cable into the controller for wired play the internal radio is shut off and all data is transmitted through the wire." - http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/Xbox_One_Controller

I am not sure it's a USB for your computer. I use guitar bots and you have to plug it in first before starting I don't have xbox so I am not sure. Sorry

Xbone controller will work on a PC without an adapter, just use a USB cable. This will not work with xbone controllers.

I think the micro usb cable is only for linking the controller to console. It came with 2 AA duracell batteries, you'll have to buy rechargable ones or the Xbox One Controller Charge Kit.

There is a small black button on the console above the USB port that you push. Then you press the sync button on the controller as well and they should sync

Is the controller wireless or wired? Or have u used the controller on other games before

No. But there are drivers available for the Xbox one controller so that you can use it with a USB cable. http://majornelson.com/2014/06/05/pc-drivers-for-the-xbox-one-controller-available-now/

I use my wireless 360 controller and I am very pleased with it. Also it is compatible with most of the games out there so it is an option to consider if you don't have a controller yet.

the cable directly connects straight into the xbox controller. if you have a charging battery pack it will charge the battery otherwise it will power the controller without the need for batteries.

The USB plugs into Xbox the other end plugs into controller. Charges while you play. You can play wired and charging then disconnect and use wireless controller across the room. Great for the young ones that forget to plug in rechargeable controllers.
