    To use a wireless controller, start by purchasing a controller that is compatible with the Xbox 360. Once you've done that, you'll be able to set it up with your Xbox using the instructions that come with the remote. You'll also need a receiver; pressing a certain button on both the controller and the receiver will connect them.

    No. The charger cord is purely for charging. This does, however, work on Xbox One controllers.

    This depends on whether it is a wired or wireless controller. If it is wired, you can just plug it in and it should work. If it is wireless, you need to buy a wireless receiver made by Microsoft and sync your controller.
