No, the PC version of Minecraft does NOT support controllers like this, however there are mods available that add support. Do a Google search with the following terms to quickly find info "Xbox Controller PC site:minecraftforum.net" That is the official Minecraft forum, so it is trustworthy and heavily patrolled for malicious content. Be sure to read some of the comments before downloading something, though, just to be safe.

Microsoft promised controller support for Windows 8 in late 2014. So keep trying and it will eventually work. http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/controller-pc-compatibility If you can't get it to work try the drivers from the link.

It works perfectly on windows 8 :). And how it performs? It works for what it is, if agame supports an xbox 360 controller it will work. There might even be some mods or workaround a for games that don't support 360. As for the controller itself, hardware, it's great! Everything feels like it should on a 360 controller.

If you're using a mac, download bootcamp it should work, as for how well it works, i do not know how to translate mac specs into pc counterparts, it is controller compatible i have used xbox 360 wired and ps3 controllers, if for some reason it does not recognize your controller try http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/ beware after the free trial it costs money.

We have not used it for Minecraft, but I am sure it would be just fine. My kids have played other games on the computer with no issues.

I have seen people use xbox controllers on the PC. They port over nicely and are probably the best controllers to use if you have a 360 already.

I have this controller and the one that does not include the battery pack for recharging. The wireless USB connected to the PC for the wireless controller is the same. The only difference between this one and the one without the rechargeable back, is the rechargeable pack. If that was you question, then yes it will work. If you asking about a different xbox controller, I don't know if it will work. My understanding, is this is the only xbox controller that works on the pc with no problems. Others have issues.

Daniel, I see know reason why you can't use this with xbox 360. Personally I would use a Logitech K400r wireless keyboard.

No. It works perfectly with all emulators. And pc games when use in xinput (recognized as one xbox contoller). It also supports multiple controllers when it is used Dinput

As far as I know it only works with the X box 360 controllers but I would at least try it in your case.

Yes, in fact I myself have used it on my Macbook. I used this guide to set it up: http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_use_xbox_360_wireless_controller_your_mac Happy Gaming :)

You actually can use it as a wired controller on pc. First, download the Xbox 360 software from here http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows . Then connect the controller to your pc and go to Device Manager. There should be a branch called unknown device. Double click it and choose to install existing driver, then pick the driver called xbox peripherals and then pick connection through Play and Charge kit. Hopefully this helped you.

I don't know exactly because I have not played with it on the computer, but I know that wired controllers work with computers. It should just go right into the USB port and you can play away

Hello Matthew, i use a genius controller with a 360 controller emulator to play this game, so i suppose that is possible that you can use yours. Hope my answer help you and happy gaming

Yes it does work with xbox controller but not well, if you're into COD games buy Ghost, it works great with the controller, I did a lot of damage with i, but I'm more a keyboard person. I'm not a fan of either but ghost is better. Borderlands 2 is also great and online presence is more than the Cod games

Works well on 360 and PC Lelsie, but sometimes the buttons won't be lot even tho controller is connected and working , all I can say.
