The wired controllers may be connected to any of the ports on the console (the number of ports depends on model: old-style 360s have two at the front and one on the rear, while Xbox 360 S units have two at the front and three at the rear), or to a USB hub.

The Wireless Gaming Receiver for WindowsManufacturerGenerationLifespanFebruary 16, 2007ConnectivityUSB, Proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless technologyWhile and wireless controllers use for connectivity (and can be used with Bluetooth-equipped computers with appropriate software), Xbox 360 wireless accessories communicate over a proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol. In order to accommodate this, Microsoft released the Wireless Gaming Receiver (sold as 'Crossfire Wireless Gaming Receiver' in the UK), which allows wireless Xbox 360 accessories to be used on a Windows-based PC. Most Xbox 360 wireless accessories are supported, including standard controllers, racing wheels (without force-feedback), headsets and guitar controllers. The adapter was first revealed at and released on February 16, 2007.The device acts in a similar manner to an Xbox 360, allowing up to 4 controllers and 4 headsets at a time to be connected to the receiver. The device has a 30-foot (10 meter) range and a six-foot (2 meter) USB cable. It is specifically designed to work with games bearing the ' logo, but will function with most games that permit a standard PC gamepad.

The official Xbox website noted that the adapter will work with 'all future wireless devices'. However, it is worth noting that the racing wheel does not currently have force feedback support.One of the issues with using wireless controllers is that there is no way (with the standard Microsoft Xbox controller drivers) to turn the controllers off unless you remove the battery of the controller or use a third party application. Also an issue that has arisen from this product is the amount of power in which the receiver draws. There have been many reports that the receiver will work for days, weeks, or couple of months then fail to 'receive' the signal from the Xbox 360 controller. This issue has been solved in a number of ways by end users depending on where the damage from the excess power has manifested itself—in some cases simply purchasing a powered hub (which typically can provide a higher current than a PC port) will fix the issues while in others it may be necessary to work around a blown internal fuse.In the US, Microsoft has stopped producing the stand-alone receiver and it is increasingly difficult to find in stores or online. The 'Wireless Controller for Windows' bundle includes the receiver for a higher price, but is still available.The Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 wireless headset for PC includes a black version of the receiver which works with Xbox 360 wireless accessories.

Battery Pack, Play and Charge Cable and Quick ChargerThe Rechargeable Battery Pack for the Xbox 360 controller contains two batteries inside a sealed casing, with a custom connector on the rear to allow charging through the Xbox 360 controller itself. The pack provides up to 25 hours of continuous gaming for the wireless controller. It is recommended in place of disposable AA batteries, due to the replacement cost (in both economic and environmental terms). It also ships as part of both the Play & Charge Kit and Quick Charge Kit. An upgraded version of the Rechargeable Battery Pack, which provides up to 35 hours of gameplay, is included with 'transforming d-pad' wireless controllers.To fully charge a battery pack takes approximately 2 hours with the Quick Charge Kit; the Play & Charge Kit takes longer (and depends on whether the controller is being used).Third party rechargeable battery pack kits are also available.

Although the official rechargeable battery pack is NiMH, the normal (AA) battery casing states 'Use only Alkaline battery, type AA (LR6)'.Play and Charge Kit The Play and Charge Kit contains a rechargeable battery pack and a USB charging cable. Use of the charging cable does not affect the functionality of the controller, and may be used without interruption to game play. The Play & Charge cable also allows use of a wireless controller without a battery pack. When doing so, Microsoft recommends using a AA pack (empty) to avoid damage to the exposed battery compartment. When connected, the controller does not act as a wired controller, but continues to communicate with the console or receiver wirelessly; data is sent via USB to the host only to allow automatic syncing and to initiate charging and does not send controller input data. As a result, the cable need not be plugged into the console or computer the controller is being used with — any convenient powered USB port may be used. The Play and Charge Kit will also automatically sync the controller to a Wireless Gaming Receiver when both are plugged into a Windows computer.The original Play & Charge Kit contains generic 2100 mAh AA (LR6) NiMH cells.

Such cells are readily available in 4 packs up to 3000 mAh, with 2000-2600mAh batteries being common.Alongside the release of the Xbox 360 S in June 2010 Microsoft started shipping an improved Play & Charge Kit using larger capacity batteries. Original Play & Charge Kits provided up to 25 hours of play, the improved version lasts 35 hours if charged using the Play & Charge Kit or 40 hours if using the Quick Charge Kit. Quick Charge Kit The Quick Charge Kit is a small base station which charges up to two rechargeable battery packs and does so in less time than the Play and Charge Kit.

It comes with a dual-charger and one rechargeable battery pack. It takes 2 hours for each of 2 battery packs to be fully charged.

A light on the unit is used to indicate status, showing green it is finished charging/fully charged and red when charging.Messenger Kit Xbox 360 Messenger Kit. Xbox 360 Chatpad from the Messenger Kit attached to a wireless controllerManufacturerType,GenerationLifespanSeptember 4, 2007InputkeyboardConnectivityUSB (custom connector), 2.5 mm headset connector (for compatibility with headset add-on)On September 4, 2007, Microsoft released a small keyboard accessory called the Chatpad to coincide with the launch of Xbox Live Windows Live Messenger on Xbox 360. It was released as part of the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit, which also includes a. This is partly due to the fact that older Xbox 360 wired headsets cannot connect to the Chatpad due to the side pins. The Chatpad connects to the controller via two power pins and an interface located on the front of the controller (wireless or wired), as well as the 2.5 mm jack for headset compatibility.Although the Chatpad can be used to communicate with people that are on Xbox Live and Windows-based PCs (via Windows Live Messenger), Microsoft does not currently provide drivers to make the Chatpad itself work with a PC.

There has been no official word when, if ever, a driver will be released. However, there have been some attempts at a workaround.Originally since the Chatpad has a connector for wired headset compatibility, when connected to a controller the Chatpad is detected as a wired headset. As a result, the controller could not be paired with a wireless headset since wired headsets take precedence over wireless ones in the systems software. This has been since fixed via software updates and all functions now operate normally.The Chatpad can also be used in certain games for text input.
