    Your remote is probably IR, and the 360 controller is RF.

    Yeah, as mentioned, you just need to pick up the wireless receiver unit. As an aside, I've used the corded one on my laptop before and loved it. It worked well for me.

    I use the corded one and it works great and supports the XBCD drivers, the cordless one was able to be used on PC after since they got the wireless adapter for PC wich has been out for awhile and can be found pretty cheap if you look around.

    However the wireless does not work with the XBCD drivers I do not think, at least I have had nobody say it can and that would be a major downfall to me (not to mention batteries)
