Does old Xbox Wireless Adapter works with the new 9th gen Xbox Wireless Controller?

Why not just buy a Bluetooth adapter, they are cheaper than the wireless dongle that Microsoft is selling and its guaranteed to work.

The one above is $13

The next one is even cheaper at only $8

There has been no confirmation, but I would have thought it does, as the controllers use the same wireless technology that the Xbox One controllers use, as you can use the new controllers on the Xbox One as well as the old Xbox One controllers on the Series
S/X

Hi

- There was 3 versions of the controller right ? Does they all work on w7 (x64) ?

They will all work, but only with a wired connection. Bluetooth is not supported for Windows 7 nor is the Wireless adapter for the Xbox One controller unfortunately.

- Can we play wireless on w7 or it just works with the wire ? Heard that you could play wireless with the
OLD microsoft wireless adaptator (the usb key for xbox controller) but not the new adaptator wich is specific to windows 10.

See previous answer. As for an older Adapter, I'm not aware of such a device. I'm pretty sure all adapters only support Windows 10.

- Would like to buy the RED xbox one controller, does it have a software difference with classic xbox one controller and for some reasons it only work on w10 or it's just a color change ?

All Xbox One controllers will work with Windows 10, but only via a wired connection.

I would suspect it will only work with Win 10 given this:

"For use with the Xbox One Wireless Controller or Xbox Wireless Controller and controller compatible games on PCs and Tablets running Windows 10 with USB 2.0 or USB 3.0"

I also found a thread from 3 years ago where the OP quoted an Xbox page (no longer available) and it apparently quoted this:

"The wireless adaptator for windows 10 has been made to be used on windows 10 only. The old wireless adaptator xbox for windows works on device running windows 10, windows 8.1 and windows 7. "

So, you'd need one of the older generation Wireless adapters (released in 2015 apparently) ...however, given their age I would doubt it would work with a new gen controller

This would be the adapter in question (limited places to find it so just went with an Amazon one):

It's the Microsoft adapter:

Observe how the copy says:

With the new and improved Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10, you can play your favorite PC games using any Xbox Wireless Controller.

Note that it says any XBox Wireless controller. If it only works for XBox One controllers, that is, at the very least, misleading.

It appears that I will have to avail myself of the "hassle-free returns" policy.
