Purpose and compatibility

This adapter cable connects an original Microsoft Xbox gamepad to a PC via USB. It is intended for owners of the first-generation Xbox controller who want to use it on a Windows computer.

Sustained-use behaviour

The 73 cm cable provides a fixed link without active electronics, so signal quality remains stable during long sessions. No driver installation is mentioned beyond the supported operating systems.

Deciding specification

The cable works only with the original Microsoft Xbox controller and supports Windows XP, Vista and 7. It will not function with later Xbox controllers or newer Windows versions.

Questions about this item

Does the 73 cm adapter cable draw noticeable power or generate heat when the controller is used all day?

The passive cable simply passes the controller signal to a USB port, so it adds no measurable power draw or heat during extended sessions.

What must I already have for this cable to work with my original Xbox controller?

You need an original Microsoft Xbox controller with the proprietary connector and a PC running Windows XP, Vista or 7 with a free USB port.

Will this 73 cm adapter let me keep using my original Xbox controller on a Windows 7 machine?

Yes, the cable is designed for that exact combination — original Xbox controller to USB on Windows XP, Vista or 7.
