    I use this for PC and it works just like the Xbox One controller. It connects up to Bluetooth right away. Make sure to get a USB Type C cable for it because it needs a firmware update right out of the box. I like the added textures on the grips and triggers. I've had a problem in a couple of PC games where it would only recognize it as a Bluetooth LE Input, but games optimized for Xbox Series X that are also available on PC recognize it just fine.
