Anyone know of a way to hook up an xbox controller to a pc through a USB port? i heard some mention of it on a morrowind forum, but no follow up on it. The main deterant for me to buy pc games that i've played on xbox is the keyboard. I want to try the pc version (for the crystals and the cheats) but there is no way im using a clumsy keyboard if there is a way to hook up the controller.

Hey Dairy,

I came across some stuff that u might be interested in since I'm looking to do the same thing. Here are sum links of interest.

Cables:

Drivers:

The cables are easily purchased from Ebay and then u need to install drivers. My cable is on order and am waiting to see how well it actually works. Apparently its like configuring a joystick.

The ebay links are from Oz. Im sure u can find US sellers tho.

All the best

:D
