how to connect xbox 360 controller to pc without receiver

Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller is an amazing controller for the PC and Xbox. Microsoft has been cutting out the middleman to sell the console and I can see why. It’s a great controller that gives full control over the game and all you have to do is connect it to your PC. For example, I can play Halo or Kinect games on my PC using my Xbox 360 Controller. I also can use NHL 2005, play off-TV, or watch a movie on my PC using XBox.
