Can i replace xbox 360 controller connector with a regular USB?

[The Dude]

Hello guys, i want to buy an Xbox 360 wired controller to use with my pc, but the one I found is not usb, it has some weird circular connector, and the seller didn't have any adapter, my question is, can I simply cut the connector, and replace it with a male USB connector from a spare cable, or does the adapter has some kind of electronics inside that makes it compatible with USB? One thing I know is that inside the cable there are 4 wires, white, black, green and red which is like the USB cables i guess

that is probably not a 360 controller but an old one from the original xbox.

i never saw a 360 controller that was not a usb, nor seen a 360 with anything but usb to plug things into.

keep looking and you'll find a real 360 controller to use.

as far as I know, xbox360 controllers come in two flavors.
Xbox360 (round connector)
Xbox360 for windows (same round connector, includes USB adapter)

First one, you need adapter, second, you should get it with controller, depending which the seller is selling.
You can of course buy it separately too, it seems:

it is indeed a 360 controller, probably 1st gen xbox 360, it looks exactly like this one, and that adapter thing is the thing that's missing

Thank you, but the thing is, i cannot buy it because i don't live in the US, and my country doesn't even have online shopping, so you either find stuff in stores, or you cannot buy them, and in the place i live in that's the only thing for now, all i can do is to see if modding the controller will work for me
