Maybe offtopic, but just a quick question about "You can use a wired Xbox controller (recommended)". Why not wireless? I thought they were the same from Windows point of view.

I suppose you could try one. To be honest, I just don't know how to connect the wireless controller to a PC / Mac.

    There is, BTW, an excellent chance that it won't work, since Microsoft stopped making them ages ago and 90% of the available models are shitty Chinese knockoffs with Microsoft branding.

      Ah, I did not know that. Last time I looked into these things must have been 4 years ago.

The wireless 360 controller requires a separate adapter which is not manufactured anymore and is shoddy at best, even installing the drivers can be difficult especially for a non technical person.
