Problem using wired xbox controller

I've been trying to get it working for a while. I'm connecting a factory default xbox 360 to my computer using a nyko connection wire, with a battery pack. It is read by my computer perfectly. I've read the things on how to connect a controller to use in DRIVE, but none of them are working or make sense. I don't know if this changes anything, but the controller hooked up is read as "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play & Charge Kit". It doesn't say anything about inputs in console except my mouse, keyboard, and 6f1d2b61d5a011cfbfc7444553540000.inputmap (the wireless xbox 360 controller input.) I really hate to use my keyboard with a driving game this good, and this is just frustrating.

 

I am having the same problem with my wired xbox pad (non battery type). Lets hope there is a way around this problem.

 

You can't use a play and charge kit on PC. It may read, but I'm 99.9% positive they don't work.

 

Well, that sucks. Would it work with the regular connection wire that comes with most of the controllers/Xboxes?

 

The charge kit to PC was just charging battery, I was also tryed month ago when playing Shift 2. Only one way can do is get wireless receiver to play it.

 

^This. If it's wireless, you need the reciever.
