Use the Xbox 360 RF module to connect wireless controllers to your PC. The RF board from a dead 360 becomes a native wireless receiver — no Microsoft dongle needed.

Requirements

  • Xbox 360 RF module (salvaged from any phat/slim console)
  • PIC12F629 microcontroller (handles the sync button logic)
  • USB cable (any sacrificial cable with a Type-A end)

How To

  1. Flash the PIC12F629 with the HEX file from the download below and wire everything per the install image.
  2. Plug the module into your PC — Windows picks it up with the standard Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver driver.
  3. Press the push-button power and wait about 20 seconds.
  4. When all the LEDs are lit you can press the sync button to pair (re-sync) your controller, just like on a console.

Tip

If Windows doesn't detect controllers after pairing, install the official "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows" driver from Device Manager (pick it manually under Microsoft → Xbox 360 peripherals). One RF module supports up to 4 controllers plus chatpads and headsets.
