Question 1

Description says its compatible with xbox one controllers and wireless xbox controllers. wouldn't the wireless xbox controller be the 360 one ?

Accepted Answer

*For use with the Xbox One Wireless Controller or Xbox Wireless Controller and controller compatible games on PCs and Tablets running Windows 10 with USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.*Not compatible with controllers designed for Xbox 360.

Question 2

Does it work on windows 8.1?

Accepted Answer

Sadly amazon has grouped the reviews for the older version (which I believe works for Windows 8.1 ) with the reviews for the newer version (which does NOT work with Win 8.1) - avoid the adapters that are listed in the product description as "66 percent smaller", as I found out the hard way these will NOT work with anything but Windows 10... be smart and don't be dumb like me  and make the same mistake I did :P , before you buy,  google " Xbox One Windows Wireless Adapter controller Windows Compatibility" and you'll come up with the Microsoft website stating that the newer adapters are Win 10 only, older adapters work for Win 7, Win 8/8.1 and Win 10... I think, don't quote me on this, that the older wireless adapter is bigger and has a circular button on the side as opposed to the newer adapters with a square/rectangle button on the front of the adapter (waiting for the older adapter to come to me in the mail from amazon so I know for sure :)   ) .. check out amazon asin number B0785SFKYF (copy and paste that number into the amazon search box up there on the top) and it will pop up the older adapter.

Question 3

can you just hit the power button on your controller and it works, or do you have to hit a button on the reciever too

Accepted Answer

Initially, you have to power on the controller, then you have to press the sync button on both the controller and the receiver. After the initial sync, you can just turn on the controller and it will automatically sync up.

Question 4

Does this work with multiple controllers?

Accepted Answer

NO. This is a broken product. It does not work with any number of controllers.
