still way too expensive seeing as the newer controllers support Bluetooth anyway and the fact that steam now fully supports ps4 controllers via Bluetooth.

Yup, I agree but at the end of the day if you need one you need one.

Do you know if you can use those cheap ebay bluetooth adapters for PCs with the newer XB1 pads and the DS4?
Someone told me you could but i'm not sure.

There's a lot of limitations with the bluetooth connection - only one control pad is officially supported and you can't use a headset plugged into the control pad:
I thought the wireless adapter is overpriced but on the other hand it's worked well with multiple controllers and the stereo headset without any hassle.

This is pretty much the norm. Just get one off ebay for cheap. They work well :wink:

I grant you it isn't an amazing deal but the usual price is around £18-20. I thought as people might be buying the Argos Xbox Elite controller deal they might want to know the cheapest price to get an adapter.

You can yes. Obviously has to be the Bluetooth XB1 controller not any of the earlier models or the Elite and I think you need Windows 10. You'll need something like DS4Windows for the DS4. The biggest problem I had was needing to update the FW on my XB1 controller but that was easily done through the Xbox Accessories app free off the MS store, just plug it in via a cable and start the App, if it needs updating it'll do right away.
Only downside is I don't think there is a way of running two of the Bluetooth XB1 controllers at the same time but hopefully that'll change in the future.

got a gaming pc recently and was using my wired elite controller.. i hate wires anyway this beauty has been a god send. works out of the box just press the sync button steam or no steam it works great. yeah its a s**tty bit of plastic but it does the job well, worth every penny to me.

I still use my Xbox 360 controllers via the wireless 360 dongle thing when i am PC/Steam gaming on steam big screen, so as of yet i have no reason to buy this.
BUT, if it drops to say £5 at some point i will pick one up, just to have it there.
