If you have the controllers for the Xbox One S, they use Bluetooth instead. Or at least, they also use Bluetooth.

You can either buy an Xbox One S controller and use Bluetooth, or buy a normal Xbox One controller + the wireless adapter.

 

I have a wireless XBOne controller + this adaptor: (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Xbox-Wireless-Adapter-Windows-One/dp/B00ZQW91DE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484240808&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox%2Bone%2Bwireless%2Badapter%2Bfor%2Bwindows%2B10) and it works flawlessly.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

Well, I thought about replacing my OG XB1 controller with an XB1S one, then I realized something: I kind of hate the pairing process. With the adapter, aside from being cheaper anyway, I could plug it in any PC and be ready to go. Whereas if it were BT, I'd have to go to the BT menu and pair it up with the PC every time I want to use the controller with another computer.

 

Sure it takes up a USB port, but eh. That's not a problem for me.
