It is wireless for Windows and Android. And can be made wireless for Xbox with a 3rd-party adapter; Mayflash Magic-X or Wingman XB3
Real xbox controllers don't have hall effect joysticks. I'm tired of replacing controllers due to stick drift.
Heads up: 8BitDo is selling these cheap due to the newer model that dropped last month. Review of new model w/ details of improvements here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Controll...er_review/

Why would anybody buy this when real xbox controllers are on sale for this price all the time? Xbox controllers can be used pretty much anywhere with Bluetooth. Even gaming monitors and tvs.

Google "stick drift" and you'll have your answer

Hall effect sensors -> no stick drift ever

I have not used this particular controller but I have found back paddles to be pretty useful.

Does anyone know how this one compares to the Ultimate I've had on my wishlist for a minute?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9BGJVLL

Seems like not a lot of differences, but there's so many versions of the same controller it's hard to tell.

What you linked is made for Nintendo Switch owners in mind. It works wired and wirelessly for PC but check out the keypad. The letters are switched. So when playing a PC game, if they tell you to press B (at the bottom of this controller), you'll have to press A. It gets confusing when playing new games. Other than that, there's not much difference. I have the one you linked.

Does this work with the wireless Xbox USB adapter dongle for PC? I'm already using an Xbox controller on the PC with the adapter. Can I add this one into the mix without issues for 2 players?

OEM Xbox controllers have atrocious wireless latency. I'm not playing games that are sweaty enough to care, but they're the worst across all major and third-party controllers.
