Thank you. I am not to clued up on this. I see cash crusaders near me has some decent 2nd hand 360 remotes. Do i just need any Bluetooth receiver that i can purchase from the matrix or is there a specific one.You can use any controller on the PC. You an even use a Wii controller with a bluetooth dongle.
But, I would personally rather buy a second-hand original Xbox360 controller then a new generic.
The quality is just better.

Actually there is six versions. See the wiki link in my post above.@geraldhum
If you go for the XBOX one controller, there are 2 versions.
I went through the classifieds and nothing what i need. also one cash converters branch ihas got 2 xbox controllers for R99 each which is something that cannot be beaten.Xbox 360 needs a special wireless receiver for Windows. Or you can get the wired one.
The Xbox One controller (some versions, see link below), Nintendo Switch Pro, Nintendi Wii (with special software), PS3/4 DualShock (some versions, again see links below), all uses Bluetooth.

EDIT: Also, you are on a second hand site with great people and great prices, why the fuck would you go to Cash Crusaders?
That does sound like a bargain. Are they the Xbox 360? Just keep in mind you need the receiver.I went through the classifieds and nothing what i need. also one cash converters branch ihas got 2 xbox controllers for R99 each which is something that cannot be beaten.
They are the xbox 360 remotes. If i cant find a reciever i will skip that purchaseThat does sound like a bargain. Are they the Xbox 360? Just keep in mind you need the receiver.

Just be careful of the Chinese clone receivers. They can be a real pain to set up.There are a few on Takealot at the ~ R 400 price point: Takealot
I know OP is sorted with a controller but additional info for others looking:There are various types of Xbox controller and various ways to connect them to PC.
Xbox 360 controllers are quite old and can only connect to PC using the older Xbox 360 wireless dongle - those are not easy to find.
Then there are Xbox One controllers. The first and second generation ones need an Xbox One PC Adapter wireless dongle to connect to PC. The third generation has Bluetooth and will work with any Bluetooth 4.0+ adapter. See here for differences between first/second vs. third generation (the clue is the bit at the top where the Xbox button is - if it's shiny black, it's 1st/2nd gen; if it's matte and the same colour as the rest of the controller, it's 3rd gen): List of Xbox Wireless Controller variants
Then there are Xbox Series controllers. All of these have Bluetooth.
The Elite 1 controller needs the PC dongle, the Elite 2 has Bluetooth.
All of the One and Series controllers can connect to PC with a USB cable - micro-USB for One, USB-C for Series.
When it comes to generic controllers, if they say Bluetooth, they will work with PC with any Bluetooth dongle.
Overall (FYI @moedeez) the Series controller probably has the best bang-for-buck out-of-the-box solution of any controller for PC. Some people like the PS5 controller but you need additional software to get the haptic triggers working correctly and not all games support that feature.
