Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 (Xbox One)

Works well with little fuss. Plug, pair, play!Uses 2.4ghz rather than bluetooth so no input delay. Excellent product. I'd advise paying extra for this official microsoft one for the "it just works" factor

I purchased this usb device so I could pair some xbox wireless headphones to my gaming pc. It was very simple to setup and work and the headphones work great so it's five stars from me.

Another overpriced glorified Bluetooth dongle from a big tech company. Honestly, does its job and is reliable. So other than the price its 5 stars, controller syncs up every time instantly.

My first one lasted a few months before it failed. Seems to be a high failure rate with this model.The device would randomly refuse to connect and when going into device manager the adapter would have a warning sign on it. You had to unplug it and plug it back in to fix it.Later my pad started losing connection but this was a prelude to the unit failing entirety and not an issue with a general weak connection.I bought a new one and am still having issues. Each time I want to use it I have to unplug it and plug it back in again. Exactly the same as I experienced on the first unit and that lots of other reviewers are reporting. It does it on two PC's and none of my other USB devices have an issue.This has been out a number of months and given that my new model has the same issue, they clearly haven't fixed the problem in later production batches.Sadly there is no alternative product. Stick with the old 360 pad/adapter until MS work out how to solve the problem.EDIT: Ok over a year later I purchased a third one! I thought maybe third time lucky......Well as it happens I was lucky! This new one seems to be working just fine. Have they fixed a problem with the hardware or improved the drivers/support within Windows 10? I have no idea. All I know is that this one now connects solidly every time. No errors in device manager etc. My PC is identical to how it was the first time as I've only upgraded the GPU since then. Same motherboard/USB sockets and same joypad.

This adapter’s built for clean connection—plugs into any Windows 10 USB port and pairs instantly with Xbox One controllers. No faff with drivers or setup—just plug, sync, and play. Ideal for gaming rigs, emulators, or van setups where you want wireless control without Bluetooth dropouts.Supports up to 8 controllers at once, plus headsets and chat pads. Connection is stable—no lag or signal loss even during long sessions. Compact build, easy to stash or leave plugged in. Great for switching between PC and console without swapping cables.Best used with official Xbox gear—some third-party controllers may not sync clean.👍 Pros✅ Plug-and-play—no setup faff✅ Stable wireless—no lag or dropouts✅ Supports up to 8 controllers✅ Compact USB dongle—easy to stash✅ Works with headsets and chat pads👎 Cons❌ Windows 10 only—no native support for older OS❌ No extension cable—tight USB ports may block❌ Needs driver update if used on older builds

Works as intended used one but works fine as intended thank you.

Excellent product, works perfectly and it IS a genuine Microsoft Wireless Adapter.Windows being Windows there are installation issues now that have nothing to do with the seller or the product.The drivers do not auto install on Windows 11 and 10 has had issues as well so here’s what you need to do…Go to Settings and onto the Windows Update page.Click on Optional Updates and there is the option to install the driver for the Xbox Wireless Adapter. (You may need to plug the Adapter in first and click check for updates before the driver appears in the optional updates list)After it’s installed, press and hold the button on the end of the Adapter and a little white light will flash.Hold the Pairing button on your Controller and you’re good to go.To turn off the controller just hold the Controller power button for 10s and it will turn off.

"Edit" The Product Is Great and Works. However their is no way that you can justify classing this as a new product when its just in a tiny little plastic wallet. Even had the little plastic pull tab to help take it out of the box. But my low ish rating is primarily due to not recieving the Extension Cable if they had any hope of justifying the NEW price of £40 they had to ensure that i had a good quality extension cable at the very least and to not recieve anything other than the Adapter itself in a little plastic bag just felt like a kick to the stomache. However after talking to the Seller this has since been rectified with a 50% refund to cover the costs of having to buy an extension cable seperately and for the inconvinience caused. As a side Note for anyone else Reading; These Adapters are no longer being Sold in box from Microsoft and can only be purchased through official means of a Controller+ Adapter bundle so therefore official Boxes no longer exist for the standalone product. I personally feel that is a Majorly Bad Decision on their Part.
