Solved XBOX Wireless Controller for PC

I recently set up a 360 controller for my pc for my fiance, who is a console gamer. I first tried to use our plug and play adapter and a wireless controller, and without a wireless receiver, it would just turn on my 360 when plugged in. I then used our cheap gamestop wired controller, plugged it in, installed the drivers and it worked perfectly. I honestly wouldn't spend more than what a cheap wired controller costs. You save some money, it works well, and you get what you want.

I have actually decided to go with this:

Cyborg V.5 Rumble Pad

It's from a good gaming brand and simply because of this quote
Advanced programming provided by ST software (PC only) gives you the freedom to program any part of the pad with any keyboard or mouse command in any game - even those that don’t support game controllers.

The wireless Xbox 360 controller needs a reciever, the plug and play kit doesn't work. The wired one would be easier as it's just plug it in and start playing.
