You've probably seen clones without even realizing it as most of the 360 controller PC wireless adaptors out there ARE clones. Simplest way to tell is if the "Microsoft" logo is on the top of the unit. If it's not, it's a clone. If it is, it's probably genuine, but you still gotta double-check the bottom for the Microsoft hologram. :B

I wasn't aware of any clones! But that's cool, hopefully one comes around for this as I'd love to use it on other systems.

Given how fast the clones came out for the 360 controller wireless adaptor, it's not going to be long for the XB1 controller wireless adaptor to suffer a similar fate, thus restricting it to Windows 10 is a surefire way to completely miss capturing the market for it. :P

Same, it's looking great so far!

Wreckfest! Love that game.

Haha, interesting. Good thing I'm playing GTA V with the 360 controller, then! :)

I still use this controller when playing at my desk! Some games just feel better with it, like GTA V :) Something about having no wires at all dangling against my lap or legs.

Dongle! I know I commented on that word a long time ago, but it never gets old. :D Glad to see this controller worked out for you. Maybe I will get a wireless one at some point, but as someone who also uses a controller using a TV screen attached to my PC, I am not so far away from the screen where I can't use my corded 360 controller, so I'll stick with that for now until my setup changes at some point. :) The WIndows 10 restriction is a bit strange, though. Smells like Microsoft wanting to force as many people onto it as possible...
