See that's the thing, I don't know how this works :/ Only ever had PC's before - But now needing a Controller for my PC, cause I bought Fifa 20 for PC.
 
@RADYN94 your budget is a tad tight for wireless, unless someone is selling a second hand one for ultra cheap. But for around R 300 you can get a Logitech F310, which is widely considered a great budget wired controller for PC. If wireless is a necessity you'll have to save up a bit more for something like the Logitech F710. Second hand Xbox One branded controllers go for about 600 - 700.
 
@RADYN94 I've got an original Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with desktop (Windows) USB receiver that I haven't used for too long (it is practically new). R450 and it is yours. Interested?

Fyi. The Logitech f710 does not work natively with win 10. On Pre 2004 versions, the Xbox 360 driver works. However, with 2004 it requires you to modify the driver before it will work. If you aren't prepared to use an unsigned driver, it will not work.
That said I have one and it's a great controller.
 
PS If you get one and need help getting it to work, DM me.
 
Hey man, I got one and it's working perfectly fine, except the battery part disconnects sometimes and then I have to start the controller again. Any suggestions?
 
What do you mean the battery disconnects? Have you changed the input on the back to x-input? Because it really should not work out of the box on a Windows 10!
 
Also, please either quote or reply to my reply, so that I know to respond:)
 
I bought it 2nd hand and I just think it's a bit of wear and tear, it's not toooo annoying, but It can get if it happens more than once in a match of Fifa, I've learned to keep my hands rather still when I play xD
 
I do apologize, sorry man.

No problem. Are we talking about a Logitech F710, or X360 controller? Cos the Logitech uses 2 AA batteries, so it may just be a matter of opening it up and cleaning. That's not difficult, it has 4 screws outside and one inside the battery compartment.
Just be careful of the springs on the triggers, they sometimes snap loose (but are easy to reposition)

The other thing to consider is that it uses a 2.4Ghz wireless dongle to link to the PC. I've experienced interference if other receivers were too close to it, such as a mouse receiver for example, or even my router! My solution was to plug it into the USB port on my monitor, but not everyone has that option. So just make sure there is as a little other stuff interfering with it as possible.
