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.

I use this controller basically every day on a multitude of different devices since the 2.4ghz doesn't share the whole pairing song and dance of bluetooth. Super ergonomic, and the app lets you create different profiles, which is good for playing older games more comfortably. Only drawbacks are that the app can be a little irritating to set up, and the d-pad is a little squishy. But that's more accurate to an older NES/SNES d-pad. Charging dock is nice.
