A minor hassle to set up but works great
Posted by: saturnotaku from: on
I purchased this adapter along with the Xbox One Limited Edition Halo 5: Guardians Wireless Controller to use on my gaming mini PC. Straight away, this adapter loses a few points for only supporting Windows 10. I guess this is yet another way Microsoft is trying to encourage people to adopt that operating system. That being said, once you do a bit of work shutting down its privacy-invading "features," Windows 10 isn't terrible. In fact, from an overall functionality perspective, I think I actually prefer it to Windows 8.1, however I won't be rushing to install it on other machines in my household.
Back to the controller adapter. Getting it set up on my PC wasn't the plug-and-play experience I was expecting. At first, I thought it was dead right out of the box. The little light on the side wasn't illuminated, and my controller wouldn't pair with it. It turns out that my Windows 10 installation did not have the proper drivers for this device. It was recognized as being connected to the computer, but Windows device manager reported it as "XBOX ACC" with the dreaded yellow exclamation mark next to it.
Because Microsoft claims this device should be plug and play in Windows 10, they don't have a place on the Xbox portion of their website to download a driver. That doesn't mean a driver doesn't exist for you to download; it simply requires you to take a few extra steps, so if your Xbox One wireless adapter is not working on your Windows 10 PC, try the following:
1) Use Internet Explorer or the Microsoft Edge browser and visit catalog_dot_update_dot_microsoft_dot_com (remove the underscores and replace "dot" with periods). You must use IE or Edge - other browsers will not work.
2) Search for "xbox wireless" using the box at the top of the page. It will bring up a list of about 17 items. You will want to select "Microsoft - Other hardware - Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows" version 21.50.58.120, dated 11/3/2015. Add the file to your download basket and save it to your desktop.
3) The download comes in the form of a Microsoft catalog file with a .cat extension. I used a freeware program called 7Zip to extract the driver. After doing this, go into device manager, select the unknown XBOX ACC entry, then update driver. Choose the option to manually install the driver and use the wizard to browse to where you extracted the .cat file. The driver should install, and then you can pair your controller per the setup guide.
The controller now works perfectly. It was a little bit of a hassle to get past the initial setup, but it was definitely worth it. Now I can play games from my couch without having a lengthy USB cable running across the floor.

Works Great
Posted by: Vockroth from: on
The instructions in the box are a vague for someone not familiar with Xbox pairing. After installing the batteries into the controller make sure to turn it ON by pressing the Xbox button.
From the Xbox website:
Follow these steps to bind your controller to the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows:
1. Connect the Xbox Wireless Adapter to your Windows 10 device (so it has power), and then push the button on the Xbox Wireless Adapter.
2. Make sure the controller is powered on, and then press the controller bind button. The controller LED will blink while it's connecting. Once it connects, the LED on the adapter and controller both go solid.
This thing works great.

Perfect
Posted by: Lucas from: on
If you are like me and have family members fighting over the TV while you are trying to play a game, or you like to play games on your computer that require a controller, then this is just what you need.
I like to stream my XBOX One to my ProTab3 so I can sit next to my wife and play while she watches TV. I bought this so I can have my computer on my lap and not have short cables dictating how close my computer is to my face.
I use it for all my PCs weather I'm playing a PC game on my Desktop,or streaming my XBOX One to my ProTab3.

Great way to use xbox One controller 4 windows 10
Posted by: gamergamer from: on
Works great as long as you have windows 10. I would have rated it five star if it worked on Windows 7

Works as expected
Posted by: Sciasoul from: on
Worked perfectly with my Window 10 gaming desktop. It comes with a USB extension cable which I recommend using to prevent it getting bumped and bent if inserted straight into a USB port without cable. Especially use it if you have toddlers that like to attack your computer.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Millen from: on
After waiting for what seemed to be an eternity for this adapter, i can finally lay my old xbox 360 wireless dongle to rest. Does exactly what it is supposed to with no hiccups whatsoever! Highly recommend for those that a) are on windows 10 (only downside if you can call it that as it only works on 10) and b) want to use your xbox one devices on pc. Very simple plug and play, and press and sync, VOILA! Hope this helps!

Does what it supposed to do
Posted by: Dford from: on
There isn't much to say about this. It will let you use your Xbox one controller on your pc wirelessly . setup is easy but it's losing one star because for now (as far as I've researched) it can only be used in Windows 10. Also something that the instructions don't tell you is that you need to update the firmware of the controller on the pc. I couldn't get game audio to come through the headset connected to the controller. To solve this there is an app on the windows store called Xbox accessiories. Download it and you will then be able to update the controllers firmware and use the headset jack in the controller. On the witcher 3 however cut scenes still play audio through the speakers , could be an issue with that particular game though. All and all still worth the 25 bucks to use your controller wirelessly on your computer.

I wish it was cheaper, but it works fine. It is a little on the big side compared to other modern usb dongles.
