Yes wired will work, wireless will not unless you have the adapter and even then I think it has to be a PC specific 360 controller. They make it difficult for you...
I ended up buying a new wired controlled on offer somewhere and that works great
Nope doesnt have to be PC specific
, I use both my wireless 360 co0ntroller and my wireless headset just fine . Just you need to make sure you goto the microsoft drivers website and download the windows 7 drivers if your going to use it, they dont seem to include them in windows 7 so they dont install themselves.

Tried it on f1 2010, crysis, metro 2033, portal 2, works just fine, you made sure it's paired properly?
Also make sure the controller is on before you start the game otherwise keyboard defaults as game and menu controller.
If controller workin wen not playin a game tap the xbox button and a popup should appear showing how charged the battery is.
I've a wired and wireless controller and they both work with games I play (Dirt 1,2,3, TDU2) Make sure you've got the drivers from Microsoft, you can get them here http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/xbox-360-controller-for-windows#support
Don't have Xbox anymore as love my PS3 but kept this:

no, i use a xbox 360 controller now. i tried with a ps3 controller but it was really bad.

just my personal view as the ps3 is more nicer to use in gaming. the 360 is just too chunky and doesnt feel as smooth using the buttons and i prefer my analog sticks together and not apart. tbh the 360 is a brick in my view (not flaming here, just my opinion)
it just has better compatbility than the ps3 controller since its a microsoft product. the ps3 controller i had to get some research done to get it to function.

Out of interest, is there any software out there so i can use a PS3 controller. Never really looked before.
I will be using my Sony KDL32w4000 to game with on the PC so using a mouse would mean i would be too close to screen.
I use my 42" Bravia in lounge for PS3 and 32" Bravia in bedroom as a PC monitor (space saving)

Yup, im using MotionJoy. Doesnt work on all games like the 360 controller. some games you may have to adjust it to the 360 controller settings but you can re-map the buttons to the ps3 config.
you can try it yourself, this tutorial site should be a simple procedure with installing
