Overview

The Microsoft Xbox One Controller + Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 bundles two essentials into a single package: a full-featured Xbox One gamepad and the dedicated wireless adapter needed to connect it to a PC. The controller itself features redesigned thumbsticks with improved grip and a reshaped D-pad that delivers more accurate directional input, making it well-suited for everything from first-person shooters to platformers. Its ergonomic contours and offset analog sticks follow the familiar Xbox layout that has become an industry standard for PC gaming.

The included wireless adapter plugs into any USB port and establishes a low-latency connection without requiring Bluetooth support on the host machine. This is particularly useful for desktops and older laptops that lack Bluetooth radios. The adapter supports up to eight controllers at once, making local multiplayer straightforward. Since the controller is also fully compatible with Xbox One consoles, it pulls double duty for gamers who play on both platforms. Setup is essentially plug-and-play on Windows 10 and 11, with drivers installed automatically through Windows Update.
