question re xbox controllers on Windows

[jeremymwilson]

Hi all,

 

I have 2 Windows 10 PCs and I'm planning on buying an XBox One wireless controller plus wireless adapter for both.

 

Might sound like a stupid question, but would the controllers interfere with each other? And if they do, can the controllers connect via bluethooth instead?

 

And on a side note, 1 of my PCs is already bluetooth enabled, so it would be a little cheaper if I use bluethooth to connect the controllers rather than the wireless adapters. If I were to go down this route, would the performance (lag) be any different on bluetooth?

 

Thanks in advance.

They don't interfere

 

Yes they have Bluetooth, as long as you buy new ones, or newer models past the release of the Xbox one s

I personally prefer the adapter, even though my PC has Bluetooth built in. It does have slightly less lag (not noticeable though, as I don't play anything that intensive/fast) but the adapter has much less connectivity issues compared to Bluetooth. Especially if you are using other Bluetooth devices at the same time.

 

And nope, they won't interfere.

Cheers. I plan on playing Forza Horizon 4. I don't have any other BT devices, and the wireless adapters cost 20 euros each, compared to 10 euros for an extra BT adapter so I think the decision is made.
