WhenKittensATK Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Sorry, but the charging cables don't send data through. So they can't be used to transform a Wireless Controller to a Wired one for PC use. It will only charge the controller when plugged into a PC. The only option is using a wired controller or a the wireless adapter. Either one cost about the same I think $20-30 in the US. You could try a PS3 controller, but that's really hit and miss. Since Sony doesn't support it at all and it's all third party drivers and software. Which has about a 50/50 chance of working. Out of the two times I've tried it, both attempts didn't work.

WhenKittensATK Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Just telling you something is plugged in the charge cable. Like when you plug your cellphone into a charge cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjmagneto Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I bought a wireless controller the other day and it had one of those cables. I'll give it a try just for kicks but I doubt it will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
