Default PC Gaming Question

Is it possible to use a wireless Xbox 360 controller for playing games on your PC?
If it's not possible, is it possible for a wired Xbox 360 controller?
If it still isn't possible, how much is a decent PC gaming controller?

Any help will be much appreciated

A wireless one will only work with a special adapter, but a wired one should work fine. You may need to download drivers from somewhere though.

Any USB port should work.

Give a man a link he'll learn one thing, teach a man to search and he'll learn everything.
