Xbox Wireless Adapter for PC not available anywhere

Wired controller would be the best/easiest option. The wireless and the charge and play kit will only charge through the pc, but there are adapters available like the ones seen here

I don't think you can use the wireless adapter on your PC. It certainly isn't officially supported. Yes, the PC will recognize it as a Wireless Networking Adapter when you plug it into the USB port, but there are no drivers available for this.

With wireless USB adapters for PC's being so cheap these days; I would recommend you get one of those instead.

Hi annix,

The OP posted this thread under the "Gaming on Windows PC/PC Gaming" category of the Xbox forums. Also contrary to popular belief, the Xbox One console does not support Bluetooth wireless technology. The controllers connect to the console using a proprietary
wireless technology unique to the console and the
Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10. Bluetooth connectivity is reserved for Windows 10 only and available on current production of Xbox One wireless controllers.

I hope that clears things up.

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.
