Top Controller
If it doesn't work at first and the adapter is not detected correctly in Computer Management --> Device Manager (no Driver symbol next to XBOX AAC), just click on Windows Updates --> View optional Updates --> Select Xbox something.
Then everything works great and easy.Pro

- Nix

With this controller with cable I can finally play FIFA on the PC. Super controller, crappy game
Pro
- Good quality
- Long cable
Nice paperweight
I'm very careful with my gadgets. My old Xbox360 controller lasted about 15 years - this cheap crap didn't even last a week. 2 buttons are already jammed after a few hours of play. Monday model? Maybe, but not acceptable for first party hardware.
Update: Digitec has kindly replaced the defective controller without any ifs and buts. Unfortunately, the new copy has a new quirk: D-pad up only works every third time and from a certain pressure angle not at all.
I give up. Useful as a paperweight at best.Pro
- Appealing design
- Sticks feel good.
Contra
- Material feels cheap.
- Sharp edges around the controller
- First buttons stick after 2 days of use.
- D-Pad very loud
- No battery
- Battery cover does not look very stable

Very good controller
Pro
- Gripe on triggers and handles
- The triggers are harder than the old joysticks, which allows for greater precision
- The cable supplied is long enough
It works, but...
So yeah, this is the baseline standard for PC gaming with a control pad. The unit is solidly built, with a tried and tested design. Nothing feels mushy or out of place. Setup is a breeze, since Windows will immediately recognize the dongle and take care of the rest.
BUT some caveats which ding the overall experience.
If you tuck the dongle away behind your PC, then the connection might occasionally stutter or you get controller drift. So you have to maintain a line of sight.
The design of the dongle, however, is a long thin stick of plastic that you don't want to leave hanging out the front of your PC on a permanent basis. So you're best off using the enclosed extension cable to have the dongle attached to the PC from behind while still maintaining line of sight.
Also, the price is a bitter pill to swallow, especially since the packaging is pretty flimsy (everything literally tumbled out the box as soon as I opened it) and you really want to get a rechargeable battery pack on top of everything else.
Would be nice if Microsoft simply offered a controller (not the elite) that had both wireless connectivity and a rechargeable battery out of the box.Pro
- wireless gaming
- effortless setup
Contra
- dongle needs clear line of sight
- some drift
- stick design
- poor packaging
- expensive
