Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Xbox One Controller Wireless Adapter for Windows 10/8.1/8/7 - Compatible and Optimized for Improved Connectivity by Rick Alexander

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Random disconnects that got more and more annoying.

When I first got this I thought the shutdowns were due to low batteries. nope Not even 2 meters away and I just go DC for no reason for no reason. Not even really in the way. In the beginning it wasn't so bad. Random DC can occur once every few hours or maybe more than once a day. So I thought it might be the batteries as it doesn't happen that often. Now when it disconnects, I actually have to unplug the adapter from my PC and plug it back in. It doesn't matter if the batteries are fresh or not. And now I can't return it because it's outside of my return window. Worse, I bought the batteries at the same time and now they are useless. With the price of the adapter and batteries, that's now $40 out the window, and I've only had it since April 28, 2021. A month and a week before it becomes a complete nuisance. If this thing doesn't interrupt my gaming session, that's great, but it happens far too often. It seems to work great for some and sucks for others. The purchase seems risky. Oh and my drivers are up to date. I made sure to double check before posting this review.
