    Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows gets hot


    I'm using an Xbox Wireless Adapter on Windows 11 for my Xbox One controller. Both are working fine.

    However, I noticed that after some time the external plastic of the adapter is noticeably warmer to the touch, and the metal part gets quite hot.

    I'm wondering whether this is normal, as well as if the controller would be compatible with other cheap WiFi or Bluetooth adapters in case this breaks.

    :)

    Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows gets hot

    Hello!

    My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

    Marcus,these accessories tend to heat up, yes, my friend.

    It's not a symptom of a problem, as the accessory usually heats up.

    And about compatibility with other wireless adapters, the vast majority are compatible yes.

    What can happen is that if the adapter is of very poor quality, the PC may not recognize the controller as an xbox controller, and only as a wireless device.

    I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

    xbox wireless adapter gets hot

    they do get warm but should not be red hot.

    have you got it plugged into a usb 3 port or usb 2.

    if in a usb 3 port switch to a usb 2 as it could be drawing to much power.
