Guide for Xbox 360 Controller Usage
Hello. It seems you're asking about linking a wireless Xbox 360 controller to your PC using a play and charge kit while running Windows 8.1 Pro.
I also tried it, but the play and charge only transmit electricity, not data. You’ll need a wireless dongle. I have around six charge and play cords, which made it disappointing for me.
Everyone has mentioned it clearly, but you already know the answer. It costs $7 for a dongle, which is very affordable—I own one that works perfectly without any issues. If you don’t have it, just get an Xbox One controller and a charger cable; you won’t need the dongle at all. You can use any micro-USB cable instead.
