I want to chill on my bed wire gaming on the big monitor which will be too far way for wire to reach
I mostly use my Xbox controller sitting in front of my main PC, but once every few days will take it upstairs to game on my HTPC, where I'm laying on the bed a couple meters away from the Wifi/BT antenna.
All I can say is the $30 Xbox wireless adapter (CAD, USD probs cheaper) is totally worth it if you're not up close. Fair bit less latency when far away (when up close, BT and adapter are about the same) and much more consistent performance when far away as well (no missed button clicks or random phantom thumbstick movement). If you pick it up from say Best Buy or Amazon, you can always return it in 30 days if it doesn't work for you or isn't that much of a difference.
Also if you ever need to use the controller on more than 1 device, the adapter is a must. The wireless adapter you just unplug and take with you, plug it in and the controller connects directly to the adapter. And before inevitable "well it must be your BT hardware", I have Intel AX200/BT on both of my rigs with the huge ass freestanding Asus and Gigabyte AX antennas, and my MX Master Gen1 always works just fine even at the same distance lying on the bed.
I have the latest Xbox One controller. When connected via usb c cable, the device works perfectly. However, when connected via Bluetooth, all the buttons on the device is messed up in games. For instance, for NieR Replicant, None of the buttons on the controller controls for things that they normally would under game setting. For Sekiro, some buttons work but some don't (the attack button does not work).
Thank you
However, this button binds thing just sounds like a game issue to me if all your firmware is up to date, and especially since it works in Cyberpunk. This may be a misguided assumption but I thought for a lot of Japanese games PS controllers just work better?? Dunno
I have the exact opposite experience regarding functionality. I have the ~2020 version of the Xbox core controller (with microUSB, and the traditional 4-way D-pad not the 8-way hybrid D-pad) and it has never worked properly in Genshin Impact when connected over a wired connection. BT and wireless adapter are the only way I can play that game, because when wired it'll initially purport to recognize the controller then in about 5 seconds say that my controller has been turned off/disappeared.
