Tried to install this yesterday but it was having trouble with the driver and in device manager it was just showing XBOX ACC with a yellow triangle next to it and it would not hook up. The description said unable to find driver.It was not working on two computers including a surface 4 (which is the Microsoft-ist of Microsoft hardware) so I knew it was not the actual adapter that was faulty. and that it was unlikely to be a hardware conflict due to the Surface being 100% microsoft hardware.I tried loads of things but nothing worked, I then stumbled across the solution.The last windows 10 update (1809) has caused some issues with certain ISP's (BT is definitly one as that is what I am using)

works after hassling with it for 1 hour...in my msi mother board this adapter is not recognized properly in a usb3 port, only in usb2when u connect it in device manager there will be a xbox acc missing driver which stupid windows would not install unless u right click and updatethan it works, but controller disconnectes after 5 mind of playing games, than i realized that there is a 1m extension cable in the pack, so i pulled the adapter a bit away from the pc where my logitech mouse adapter sits, and finally wont disconnectthen i plugged in a headphone in the controller, than windows recognize it as new audio device,

Brilliant and easy to use, wireless adapter for Xbox controllers, on windows 10.Packaged well. Arrived neatly presented in a white cardboard box.This is a brilliant little adapter. This also comes with an extended adapter too. The extended adapter is for just incase the adapter interferes with another adapter close.I would use one of these adapter's, even if you have a Bluetooth receiver, they can be notoriously unreliable for signal and connection issues. You can also get cheaper versions of this adapter but in the long run, for hassle free play, no loss of signal or no loss of connection, stick to this brand, it works flawlessly.Simply plug in the adapter,

TLDR - Works perfectly out of the box, you can sync up to 8 controllers to it at once.After buying a Bluetooth dongle on amazon (that was highly rated) and testing it on my pc with my xbox one controller (with Bluetooth) and having connection issues where it would fail to connect, I decided to take the plunge and just get the Microsoft official one... and I don't regret it at all. The device is well packaged, and is literally plug and play. There is a sync button on the top of the very small receiver that you press alongside the sync button on your controller and it instantly pairs, and stores the controller in its memory, meaning no more opening the Bluetooth device drivers and pairing every time you want to use a controller.

So just in case your wondering this USB Xbox dongle is compatible with PC windows 10step 1Just plug it into your USB port on your pc hold down the button at the top of the USB to activate syncingStep 2press the syncing button on your Xbox wireless controller ( I used the Green/Grey Special edition cost £50)step 3All done the drivers are automatically downloaded and up to date if not I would recommend Driver Booster however you shouldn't need it remember on steam to use big picture mode however this isn't always necessary this will work on almost all FPS games even some games which are not supported by downloading other peoples custom controller builds.The usb itself is small about triple the size of a bluetooth dongle and doesnt get warm even after playing gta 5 for several hours,

Despite what some reviewers mentioned, this came in a retail box with included usb extension cable and paperwork, all sealed and unopened and not by itself in a padded envelope.Unit preforms as expected and I’ve had no issues with it, was easy to install, connection to the controller (elite series 2) does not drop unlike the bluetooth option which I previously used.Worth noting:-first install, it loaded in as XBOX ACC and was not recognised. I remedied by right clicking the Device in device manager and clicking ‘uninstall’, unplug and replug.Then I did the same except this time I went to ‘update drivers’ and it found it via windows update.The device also gets pretty warm,

Works just fine on Win 10 with an Xbox one elite and a general Xbox one controller. Regular USB sized dongle though is on the slimmer side.Range is quite nice on it, have used a controller from the other side of the room (about 4-5 meters) without any problems. No input lag noticeable either.Housing is made with nice soft plastic so it looks high quality.The built in white LED is helpful during pairing. It is continuously on while something is connected to it, but it isn't too bright, not distracting at all.Only annoying is that, the little connection cover that comes with it doesn't fit on the back of it... Another piece of plastic to store and try not to loose..

Works perfectly. Unlike the plenty of generic Bluetooth dongles I've tried before. Sure this is more expensive but and it only has one function but at least you won't have to deal with connectivity issues, high latency or a short life product.If you connect the controller to something else via Bluetooth then you will need to re-sync your controller with this dongle. That isn't a problem worth taking one star of the product review though, because that's literally how Bluetooth works. Expecting it to work differently than that would be like expecting magic to happen.Overall, this is perfect, can feel little to no difference in comparison to using a wire.

If you are fed up of getting random disconnections using bluetooth and having to re-pair you controller every other day then get this adaptor, far more reliable than bluetooth. I have tested the bluetooth connection on an Intel Z77 and AMD X570 mobo, both randomly disconnect (I believe the issue is either with the bluetooth modules or windows 10), either way its been well over 5 years and no fix.Another bonus to using this adaptor is the ability to edit the elite controller profiles relentlessly whereas on you cannot on bluetooth. Also seems well over-priced on amazon, I got it for £17 elsewhere....

I originally purchased the wireless adapter for windows 10 so that I could play steam games with an old Xbox one controller whilst having the comfort of sitting further away from my desk. I have used the device on multiple occasions and it is very easy to use. It is simply plug, press and play. I have had no issues with this device and it remains a permanent part of my computer for when I fancy playing some games. I would recommend this to anyone who wants the comfort of using a controller whilst playing games on their PC and who doesn't want to be limited by a USB cable.

I was using a bluetooth adapter to connect my Xbox one controllers, sometimes they would be ok and other times they would drop out, very temperamental. I bought this dongle and it worked straight away, no messing about , just paired the controllers and a way to go, controllers haven't dropped out once, I also find the batteries seem to last longer, maybe it's just me, it could be perhaps the signal doesn't have to be as strong from the controller to connect, anyway I think it's well worth the extra couple of pounds to get something working properly all of the time.

The product does its job first and foremost. However the drivers that it tells you can download and install, irrespective of what they tell you, do not work on Windows 10 Pro. Having spent an hour or so trawling the web, I found someone who'd had the same problem...which gave me the drivers I needed to make this product work. It might be a great product but someone at Microsoft needs to sit up and take notice because in my search I came across numerous people who had had the issue. All working fine now....but no thanks going to Microsoft.

Works fine on PC for Xbox One controller.Make sure you have up to date drivers on Windows 10. I had to download a free software programme to do this for me as using Windows 10 Pro so wasn't happening for some reason and initial issues with installation and no Drivers installed.Small and discreet and comes with an extension wire so you can plug it into USB at the back of a desktop and over onto your workstation.Very fast delivery.Fully packaged and sealed and only fractionally more expensive than the dodgy ones being sold on eBay!

If you're buying a Model 1708 WIRELESS Xbox One Controller and you need a dongle for your PC, this is the one that works. The older version of this dongle are Wireless NOT Bluetooth and DO NOT WORK with Model 1708 controllers.This little marvel is less than half the size of the old Wireless Dongle, and is a breeze to set up. Win 10 recognised it straight away.It comes in a box with a short USB extension cable (I didn't need it), a pamphlet showing how to easily link link your Model 1708 controller to your pc using the dongle.

A little pricey for what it is but, if you want to connect your wireless X-Box One controller to your Win10 PC without any messing around, this is just the ticket. I plugged it in to a spare USB port and when the controller didn't connect straight away I just re-booted the PC; as soon as it had re-started I tried to connect again and it connected first time.Apparently it won't work with X-Box 360 controllers.If you want real Plug-And-Play action with no fuss I can recommend this adapter.
