Xbox One Wireless Controller on PC

moosedoctor · Apr 11, 2018

Are you kidding me or does this thing really not connect to regular Bluetooth, and I have to spend another $25 to buy the USB wireless xbox controller receiver dongle?

There are two models.

One with bluetooth, one that needs the dongle.

Top pic = no bluetooth (plastic around the Xb button isn't part of the 'face')
Bottom pic = bluetooth (plastic around button is in one piece with the 'face'_

basically if your buying any "newer" xbox one controller you should be fine, if your using an older controller (for sure the one with the 35mm audio jack) then you will need the adapter.

Here's the full instructions linked: https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc

I believe the new controller came out when the "S" variant of the XB1X was released.

It's also confusing as to whether ALL variants changed over or whether you can still buy wi-fi ONLY or dual wi-fi/BT standalone controllers.

(I prefer just using the WIRED controller anyway.)

There is supposed to be an advantage to using the XBox adapter instead of Bluetooth, it is supposed to have a lower latency. Now if it’s actually possible to tell the difference I don’t know.
