[Employee of bestbuy] Right out of the box the controller connected INSTANTLY to the wirless receiver when plugged into my Windows 11 Gaming PC, and the bluetooth was simple to connect via Andriod device. So far, it works as intended, no complaints from me. So glad microsoft made a unit that was specifically designed to connect wirelessy to Windows without having to worry about the bluetooth cutting out, because I know I myself included amongst others who had that issue and couldnt play without the cable, this is a game changer!

I honestly bought this bundle for the dongle alone, I already owned 4 Xbox controllers. Sold the controller and got the dongle cheaper this way over just buying it alone, which yeah, seems like a lot of extra steps but finding the dongle alone was odd. Either overpriced or just not available at the time of searching. Anyways it's not mentioned AFAIK, but it did include a month of gamepass ultimate and a usb extender that measures about a meter, which is extremely handy. Bluetooth still isn't all that great for windows. There was a weird bug where games would stutter if the battery was low on the controller. The connection wasn't always reliable. Anyways, the dongle works wonders and I have no issues playing games when I don't want to use a keyboard and mouse. Sometimes pairing controllers is finicky and takes a few tries, but if the controller is only for your pc it's not a big deal. Pair once and that's it.

Purchased for my freshly built PC. Unable to buy a Series X, I built a new PC and to complete the feel of having a new system. I purchased this, the brand new Series X controller with Windows adapter. Works and installed as it should! Plugged in adapter, let it install itself and it’s drivers, I also plugged the controller into my old Xbox and updated the controller itself. I pressed the sync button on the adapter and controller and boom, it was ready to play! The new features to the controller is just what it needed. The textured grips on the palm grips and triggers/bumpers are amazingly satisfying. The new d-pad is fantastic and the click is also just super satisfying.

Great controller combo. The USB adapter makes for seamless gaming on PC. When you start your controller, it automatically connects to the PC and can be started mid game. Works great on Xbox too of course.

Well this is my fourth or fifth Xbox wireless controller and I love this one just as the very first one. The color scheme is perfect and the feel of the controller all around. This controller has a smooth texture and the joystick rubbers seem more durable the previous controllers. While using this with my gaming CPU system, it doesn't feel uncomfortable and my hands seem to rarely get tired but maybe that's just me. I will buy another one, once this one goes bad. Until then, its game on.
