This applies to the wireless part, but I think since he has a charging cable which turns it to a usb i think it might be possible. You might need a program like xpadder (

Wired controllers can be found for decently cheap, new egg had a deal not to long ago for 19.99 but now they are 29.99
lastly you can get a wireless controller for windows if you don't have anything as well
