Xbox One Wireless Controller Adapter for Windows 10

I always used my XBox One controllers with bluetooth on my computer so I didn't have to have a dongle, but EVERY computer I used my controllers on with bluetooth had some sort of issue or another. Sometimes it wouldn't connect, sometimes it would lose connection, other times I would have to repair it all together. With the Wireless adapter, I get a lot better range. Also, it connects almost instantly every time now, and I have never had my controllers lose connection. Well worth it to have a reliable connection all the time. It also helps that this adapter is MUCH smaller than the original one, so it doesn't take up as much room anymore.

This adapter, like another reviewer stated, was great while it worked. After 4 months, the adapter was not recognized by the computer. X-Box tells us the adapters are only under warranty for 90 days and it broke shortly thereafter, after very little use! It was suggested the game be deleted and reloaded again in case there was a "driver error" causing the computer's failure to recognize the adapter. That solution did not work. $25 is too expensive to purchase any product that will only last 4 months. I wonder how many of the reviewers who wrote it was excellent actually had it fail shortly after warranty. If we could give less than one star, we would.

I had been using an Xbox One controller with my PC through Bluetooth, but had some issues. The biggest issue was that in certain games, the controller would randomly unpair during gameplay, and continue with whatever the last inputs were. I got this is hopes that using the native wireless connection would fix the issues I was having, and it has. No more random unpairing. The only regret is not getting it at the same time as the controller. The added cost of buying it separately kills the value a little. Do yourself a favor and just buy the combo pack when you buy the controller. It's cheaper, and it'll avoid Bluetooth issues.
