Reddit reviews Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10

Dude just get a wireless adapter solves all this

Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0785RHK5Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_HFAWIKbsvbmWg

Newer, smaller one: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Wireless-Adapter-Windows-Packaging/dp/B0785SFKYF/

Older, larger one: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Adapter-Windows-10/dp/B0785RHK5Q

I'm just basing this on the pictures shown on each product page. The older one is that big black rectangle with the USB connector sticking out of it, the newer one is, well, still a black rectangle, but it's smaller and the body is similar in size to the USB connector.

Looks like a bunch of orders for the new one on Amazon got mixed in with old ones, so I would just walk in to a Best Buy if you have one nearby and just buy one there so that you don't have to deal with any headache of wondering if you'll get the right one from Amazon. The retail packaging for the newer one comes in a small, primarily white box, whereas the old one is in a larger, totally green box.

Here is the new adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0785RHK5Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1527220329&sr=8-14&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=xbox+wireless+adapter

And here is a bundle that includes the new controller and MAY include the new adapter (pics show both): https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078T3R8YS/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1527220329&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=xbox+wireless+adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=41RYx-4dTaL&ref=plSrch

Both controllers work with the Xbox wireless adapter or USB - this form of wireless is what's used in Xbox consoles, supports all the features (unlike Bluetooth, as I mentioned above), and is far more reliable IMO.

You do also have the option of purchasing a Bluetooth adapter for your PC, they're about the same price as this adapter, but if you're getting it purely for the controller, I would definitely go with the Xbox wireless adapter for the reasons I mentioned.
