I’ve been excited for this product to arrive ever since the Xbox One controller was released. The Xbox One controller feels much better than the 360 ergonomically, and I wanted to make the switch over when playing games such as Rocket League. In the meantime, I’ve sufficed by plugging in via USB cable, but if I stream from my TV, it’s much more difficult.
The USB dongle is big, I’m not gonna lie. The nice thing is that it is slim, so you won’t have issues plugging in other USB devices next to it if they’re in vertical parallel but it’s definitely long, and a little wide. Looks like an older USB wifi dongle. I had to remove my Logitech dongle to fit it into my laptop, where they are all horizontal in series. Note, there is a USB extender cable included in the box that you can use to prevent this issue. I would actually recommend using it, to prevent any potential interference from being plugged in close proximity to other devices. On my desktop, I was connected via USB 2.0, on my laptop I was connected via USB 3.0. I noticed no difference in performance, the dongle worked on both ports.
After plugging the unit into my computer, the drivers installed automatically. I restarted for good measure, then pressed the sync buttons on my controller and the dongle simultaneously. White light flashes while searching, then goes solid after paired. Same went with my controller. You can do this to connect multiple devices. It does NOT disconnect currently connected devices, they remain paired.
I tested using Rocket League (pretty much the only game I’m going to be using right now), the device worked flawlessly without any issues for me. Moving to my laptop connected to my tv downstairs, I comfortably played again at a distance of ~15 feet from the dongle with no issues, either. Again, the laptop is running Windows 10.
The controller will automatically sleep after inactivity, just like a 360 controller. Merely press it and it’ll wake up and automatically connect to the dongle again, no problem. My computer makes a connection sound when it detects it’s woken up. Pressing on the home key with Steam running launches Big Picture mode.
I have literally only owned this product for less than an hour, but so far everything is working swimmingly.
• I am using Windows 10, as it is a stated requirement for the dongle to work. So if you are using 7 or 8, be prepared for incompatibilities. I tested on my friend’s desktop running Windows 7, and the drivers would not install.
• I used an Xbox One controller (Titanfall edition) – I did try my 360 controller but it did not work, as was expected.
• Everything worked out of the box for me. After the driver installed, I did restart my computer before trying to use the controller.
• Controller works fine at least 15 feet away from the dongle. I did not try further yet.
• The dongle was not loose in the USB port, as another user commented. It does ‘shift’ slightly, but there’s no worry of it falling out or losing connection randomly.
I will later test to see if this is compatible with my Steamlink, and update accordingly.

I see lots of people disgruntled that it's only compatible with Windows 10, and that it's a surprise. Read the product description. It says it's only for Xbox One controllers and Windows 10. Seriously people, read!

At first it seemed silly, I bought a new Xbox controller that had blu-tooth. Why would I need this? Well turns out my PC doesn't have blu-tooth! And then my laptop which does, I tried like 30 minutes to get it to synch up - it would say they were in synch, but I couldn't use it in game (Dead Cells).... I put this adaptor in, and in seconds had the controller working flawlessly and the game changed to button prompts.

If you are a PC guy who wants to monkey with blu-tooth and settings - go ahead. If you just like to plug things in and they work, I say this is worth the money!!!!

I am using this with my windows 7 PC and a xbox one wireless controller and setup was easy. This comes in a new Microsoft box with the extension cable so you don't have to block usb ports if they are close together. I plugged it in to the usb port on my pc and windows 7 installed the drivers automatically. I pressed the bind button on the dongle and then my xb1 controller and got a great connection. Launched a few games from steam and it works great, so nice to use my xbox one controller again instead of old clunky wired logitech. in 30 years of gaming the xbox one controller is by far my favorite controller, so happy this worked.

Glad I was able to use this in conjunction with an existing controller to connect to PC/Steam when my wired controller went down. Since I already had Xbox One and some wireless controllers, this was much cheaper than buying a whole new controller. The OEM Microsoft controllers are sturdier and better built than the knockoffs anyway. Also, the added benefit of wireless is nice.

The only downside is that I think wired controller input may be slightly faster, not that the input lag is really noticeable.

Well, this is a simple product that doesn't need much explanation. If you use your Xbox a lot like I do and you like to stream it on a computer with the Xbox app, this adapter is a lot better than having to be wired in. I was worried about the size of this dongle and how easy it might be to break, but it comes with a 3 foot USB extension cord. I just use that all the time so the dongle itself isn't anywhere to be damaged. If I tear up the extension, no big deal; they're just a few bucks here on Amazon (I just bought at 10 foot USB extension for around $8.00 for something else), but even that USB extension is built quite well. It isn't going to fall apart any time soon.

This is a smart, low-cost investment for anyone with an Xbox that will make the experience a lot better overall.
