After much research, i decided that this was the controller for me. I bought this for my pc and it works great. This controller has multiple options for connectivity. Personally, I leave the usb dongle in the charging stand and connect the stand to my pc with usbc. There’s no fiddling around with the connection either; the controller is ready to go the moment I pick it up. The quality and compatibility is great too. I would highly recommend this controller.

I was looking for a controller that would work with my computer and this one has been working great! The charging stand looks great on my desk. The software isn’t needed but is easy to navigate. My only complaint is that the back buttons can’t be set as additional keys, it can only be set as buttons on the controller not keyboard presses or anything like that, I know that’s how most controllers work but I still wished it could have.
