Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

It is worth noting that only with Windows 10 a bluetooth connection to a PC is available, with older versions - only by wire or with a wireless adapter from Microsoft for the price of a half-controller. What prevented Microsoft from providing support for at least Win 7 and 8 remains a mystery.
Also pay attention to the model of the gamepad, because not everyone has the ability to connect via bluetooth. This review is written about the model TF5-00004.
I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that the gamepad connects to bluetooth version 2.1 properly, but I could not connect it with version 2.0. When trying to pair devices, the system requested a pin code, which is not there. 0000, 1234 and the like don't work.
I myself use an inexpensive 4.0 adapter. In the next room, the connection is stable.

As a result, at a discount, for 3000 it fully justifies its cost. It is simply not worth more if we consider it as an accessory for the PC, and not for the Xbox.

Pros

Bluetooth connection to PC (Win 10 only). No noticeable delays in response. Native support for most games. Complete lack of need to configure anything. The maximum is to ate the firmware at the first start, which is done in just two clicks. Quality. Comfortable ergonomic shape. It fits very well in my rather big hand, after several hours of playing in a row I don’t feel tired. Nice plastic texture.

Cons

Lack of support for Win 8 and older when connected via Bluetooth. White color is not very ergonomic in my opinion. Perhaps this is prejudice, but time will tell how quickly it will become dirty. Very bright central button. If you play in the dark, it will blind your eyes. However, in the same darkness, the included gamepad will not be difficult to find. :)
