I've literally never had a solid wireless connection between a computer and a controller before. My built-in bluetooth from my motherboard has always been terrible on multiple PCs even with a mid to high end motherboard and I haven't had a good experience with generic bluetooth adapters either. This adapter is just perfect. The latency in unnoticable for me as an avid gamer and the connection never drops.

It didn't work out of the box for me. It seemed to be recognized by windows 10 but it wouldn't install any drivers and I couldn't connect a controller. I had to plug in my brand new controller and update it via the xbox accessories app first. For some reason windows installed the drivers fine next time I plugged it in. Minor annoyance, but after that it works seemlessly.

Xbox controllers are really unreliable when wirelessly gaming on Windows, which is extremely frustrating given that they're both Microsoft products. I saw a reddit thread that recommended this adapter so I figured I'd take a shot. It's the only solution to a problem that Microsoft should be embarrassed is still going on. The controller instantly connects every time I turn it on as if it's an Xbox console. Never drops connection. Hours of gaming. Does exactly what it needs to do.

Typically don’t try to wait such a long time for reviews. As for this adapter I feel like it can be timeless for when a review is made. This product will never fail you and will ALWAYS pair the controller with ease.

Avoid Bluetooth, it sucks compared to the XBox controller adapter, and I’m not just saying that!

Even for newer XSX model controllers it outperforms the Bluetooth connectivity through ease of use (instant connection when controller turns on) and reliable latency

Not a huge issue but in the picture it looks like you would get it in the original packaging. I received mine in a clear bag. Works perfectly for Windows 11. Besides it taking a few weeks to arrive I don't really have any other issues.

Just plugged it into my pc and it was recognized, I didnt have to download or update any drivers. Works well using 2 controllers simultaneously. I do not notice any input lag.

1.0 out of 5 stars I would not recommend buying this piece of junk
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015
For those of you who cannot use it, read this: http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/490123938430246727/

I was finally able to use it after making some adjustments. But still, I would not recommend buying this piece of junk. I pre-ordered this one originally from Microsoft Store back on Oct 17, 2015, they shipped it on the 20th, and I received it on the 22nd. When I received it, I wasn't able to use it. I talked with their customer service, and it turns out their technical supports were just useless.

I talked with three different customer service people on Microsoft Store, and none of them was able to help. The first person waster me about half an hour, and she was like "You need to talk to a technical support, and I cannot transfer you to a guy like that, you need to go to this page and re-launch another conversation".

After talking with the second person for over an hour, the guy told me that it was because my Xbox application on my laptop was not up to date, and he shot me a website, and asked me to follow the guidelines on it. Basically the web said the newest version should be 8.8.xxx, but the funny thing was that my version was 9.9.xxx, I asked him what to do given that my version is 9.9.XXX, but the web says the newest one is 8.8.XXX. And the guy was still like: just follow the page, update your operating system. As it turned out, it still didn't work. I was kinda pissed after spending this much time and the tech guy still being totally helpless, and I asked "I want to talk to your supervisor or another representative, you are not solving my issue". The guy refused my request, saying that "I cannot transfer you to my supervisor or another representative, even if I do, they will tell you the same thing".

Then I shut the window and opened another one. I gave the third person my reference number, and he was like he needed to check the previous conversation. After about 5 minutes' waiting, the third person came back, and the first question he asked was "Is this for a xbox one adapter for windows 10?". I said "Yes". Then he was like "Let me check the support guide, just a moment". After another 5 minutes' of waiting, the guy came back, and he was like "I don't see we are selling this product, did you get it from a third party seller?". I was totally furious, and I said "This is bulls*** I bought this stuff from your website, order number is xxxxxxx. I am claiming a refund now, I've been dealing with your customer support for the past 2 hours, and you tech supports are useless!". "I completely understand your situation, however for a refund, you need to contact our billing department." the tech guy answered.

The second day I took my adapter to a local Microsoft Store in Dallas, TX. Guess what they said when they saw my adapter "Where did you get this?", I showed them my receipt, and they were like:"OMG, they released this back on the 20th?!". When the guy at the store plugged it in his laptop, there's no reaction on his laptop either, and he was like "I'm so sorry, but it probably is just a hardware issue, you should refund this. I mean the product is so new that we don't have a technical guideline for this.". But since I did request a refund the night before on Microsoft's website, I wasn't able to return the product at the store. I ended up sent it back to Microsoft via UPS.

Apart from Microsoft's Horrible customer service, I'd say this product is not that good either. First, it does not guarantee to work on your laptop even if you are running a windows 10, you need to fix it by yourself. Second, obviously Microsoft's technical support is totally useless, so you are on your own. Third, the adapter itself feels cheap, and it's relatively large in size that it may block other USB slots. Fourth, your controller will lose the buzz function if you connect it wireless through this adapter. Last but not least, whenever you are done gaming, there are only two ways to shut down your controller, you either wait 15 minutes or you take the batteries out. You cannot simply push the xbox button on controller and stop it.

Overall, I'd say this wireless adapter is no better than the one for the 360, Given that the adapter for 360 is only around $10, this one should be no more than $5.
