The best Gamepad but...

review by fuwyfun

I bought this day my new brand gamepad, to replace my Xbox 360 controller (black sticks of death:D)
It is a new Xbox One Gamepad (v3 from 2016, Xbox One S console was released at the same time).
https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Controller-White-one/dp/B01GW3H3U8?th=1

The main differences between original gamepad and this one are :
1. Audio plug in the front back of the gamepad.
2. Better grip on the back.
3. The top is made with one piece of plastic
4. Sensor at both ends of LB/RB (L1/R1 for PS fans) (on the original gamepad, only outermost part of these buttons had a sensor).
5. Built in Bluetooth 4.0 interface.

Microsoft said this gamepad only works in :
W10 : wired, or bluetooth with anniversary pack.
W7/8/8.1 : only wired, bluetooth ability not supported in those OSes, optional dongle must be bought for wireless function.
Source : http://support.xbox.com/fr-FR/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc
On the box, it is written : "For Xbox One and Windows 10".

IT IS FALSE !
Microsoft wants to force you to buy optional dongle or to change your OS for this wonderful Windows X...

I bought an ASUS BT400 USB to Bluetooth adapter for my Rig (Windows 7 ultimate 64bits) and this gamepad WORKS perfectly!
I read lots of forum concerning Xbox One S Gamepad, where it was said it was impossible to use BT function excepting in Windows 10.
Also tested with built in BT of my notebook (and Asus I3 w/ Windows 7 Pro 64bits) and it also works perfectly.
I suppose to this feature would also work in W8/8.1.
I also tested this controller on my Android Tab and Smartphone : Works perfectly in BT mode, especially in SNES emulator

Conclusion :
This Gamepad is TOP quality

: LB/RB buttons are better than original one, it can be used wired (with micro USB to USB cable) and Wireless (BlueTooth) in Xbox One/Xbox One S/Windows 10 anniversary pack update/Windows 7/maybe 8.x/Android Phone and Tab (and Microsoft lies you : an half star less for that).

ProsCons
Quality of sticks/buttons, connectivity with built in Bluetooth or micro USB, new LB/RB buttons, nice grip.How to communicate from Microsoft
