Video Idea: The Dark World of Xbox Controller Adapters
Xbox controller runs on BLE and 2.4ghz proprietary signals, by default controller connects to your PC with bluetooth
Adapters, that use the 2.4ghz band from microsoft are expensive, $35+
You can find generic adapters from $2 on AliExpress - $20
Proposal: Purchase an Xbox Controller (latest model + latest fw upgrade), An official dongle from MSFT, Bluetooth motherboard, a variety of generic adapters from Ali + eBay (some fake ones look convincing)
Q:
How is the lag between adapters?
How is battery life affected?
What are the cheaper adapters made from, what do they use, do they come with malware?
