It may only work for games certified "Games for Windows" With the bar at the top of the case, and Windows and Live logos.

Or are you trying to play such games?

Hmmm thats wierd, i mean ive never tried it with a wireless, but i managed to play Grid using a wired xbox controller, and i don't think thats a windows game.

Soooo in game when going into the control settings, does it give you a controller tab or anything similar?
