Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10

Works just fine it’s does what it supposed to do to strong connection to your controller

My only complaint so far is why they stopped producing this through Microsoft???

Love it Im able yo play game on my laptop!

Works better than Bluetooth but the range is still a bit short

In conclusion, the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 is an outstanding accessory for anyone looking to enhance their PC gaming experience. Its ease of use, reliable connection quality, and compatibility with various Xbox controllers make it a great choice. I have only tried it with one or two controllers so far but have not had any issues.

Funciona perfecto en Windows 11 aunque específica que Windows 10 y con múltiples controles, no tiene los problemas que se presentan conectando por Bluetooth los controles

All this has to do is provide a standard connection from a paired Xbox controller to a computer.That's it.Just pair to the dongle. Xbox controllers should be a no brainer for Windows to handle, but Windows approaches this official dongle with total and utter bewilderment. Plugging this into a computer requires an update, even on an up to date Windows machine. Once updated, it is suggested that you update the firmware of your controller. This cannot be done wirelessly, even with a wireless controller, but must be done with a usb C cable, which does not come with the controller, and does not come with the dongle. Once you wire the official xbox controller to a computer running Microsoft Windows, the company that owns both Xbox and Microsoft, and run Windows update, it does not update the controller. For that, you must install an xbox accessories program from the Windows store, a storefront that no one needs, and no one wants. Once you install that, the program approaches your controller with confusion, a "thinking" wheel spinning over and over, and then a pop up comes up for options you do not want. Sifting through the menus, you find the option to update the firmware of the controller, which it tells you both to turn on and don't touch. Once updated, restart the computer, and -you guessed it-, dongle has no clue where controller is. You will go through a kind of dance where the controller is flashing once you've held the pairing button, then you'll hold the dongle button to pair, and nothing happens, maybe 5 or 6 cycles in a row as it times out. When it finally pairs, it works fine, but guess what.It doesn't stay paired.Resetting or restarting the computer puts either the dongle or the controller into a kind of fugue state where it has no earthly idea it was ever paired. Based on how it is supposed to work, one could theoretically pair the xbox controller to the dongle even if it weren't connected to a computer, but simply powered on. This is far too much to ask, however, as it doesn't even stay paired as it is. Also, frequently both lights will be solid lit, but the computer is totally unresponsive to the controller until the dongle is unplugged and plugged back in again. If you pair this to a Windows computer, then boot this same computer with a different operating system, (Batocera) you would think that it would either work, or not, but no, again, you are asking far too much of this machine with only one function. About 35 percent of the time, it works perfectly, and the other 65 percent, you have to monkey with it. It never requires re-pairing, so you are well informed it CAN function, it just DOESN'T. You'll need to either turn off the controller and turn it on again a few times, or you'll have to re-plug in the dongle, or some inconsistent variation of the two, but rest assured, there will be no tried and true way to solve this dirt-simple task that should require no difficulty at all.If I get any of the 200 colored Nintendo Switch controllers, and pair 8 of them at the same time to a Nintendo Switch, they will all work rock solid all day every day, and if I pair a new set, they'll pair in a matter of seconds and work perfectly forever. If I get an off brand Power A controller for my switch, it pairs exactly as quickly and consistently.Microsoft not only manufactures the controller in question, but also the dongle and the operating system on which they are both controlled, and this is having at best a 50% connection rate.Don't buy this, get a 2.4 ghz off brand controller. Logitech makes some great stuff, and you won't even need an update.

Works great
