This product was just released, and I imagine that some people will have this question so I wanted to post it here. THIS CONTROLLER WORKS WIRELESSLY ON Series S/X by adding one inexpensive adapter. Read on!I have XSX and 8bitdo says only WIRED play is possible on this system. Out of the box, this is true. Wired works phenomenally well, and the 8bitdo Xbox app allows for 3 profiles for button mapping, etc. Buttons, hall triggers and hall sticks all feel great and are well made.For WIRELESS play, use the Mayflash Magic-X adapter (I believe consensus was that Brook Wingman XB2 adapter was preferred, but due to some Microsoft shenanigans it only works on retro Xbox consoles now) - Wingman XB3 is said to be released Summer 2024 and is rumored to work with the newer consoles.WIRELESS PAIRING INSTRUCTIONS:1. Turn on Xbox, plug Mayflash into any USB port, it'll begin flashing blue. Don't need to do anything else with the Mayflash. It detects that it's Xbox and the blue light flashes.2. Plug in the small rectangular 8bitdo 2.4g USB adapter included with this controller (hidden on bottom of charging stand) into the female side of the Mayflash, it will begin blinking on the front.3. On the back of controller, switch the 3-way toggle to 2.4g setting. Then press the Xbox button, the ring lights up.4. Hold the pairing button on the top of controller until the Xbox button flashes rapidly.5. After a few seconds, the Xbox button light will stay solid and you will see that the light on the 8bitdo adapter is solid now too.6. Once connected, it works exactly like the official Xbox controller. And it stays paired with the adapter so whenever system is powered on just press the Xbox button, it vibrates to confirm.DOWNSIDES:1. With wireless play, the 8bitdo app does not work (prompts you to plug in the controller), so no button mapping nor usage of the P1 and P2 paddles on back. Even if you do button mapping when wired, it does not stay for wireless. If you're in the majority of users, this won't matter much.2. The wireless controller can turn off the system, but cannot turn it on. Mayflash has no power when console is off. I did try a powered USB hub and interestingly when the Mayflash port is switched to on, it wakes the system and the controller connects. Otherwise power button or another controller, and then press the Xbox button on 8bitdo controller and it connects, vibrates to confirm.TIPS:1. If you're trying to pair and it's not working and the light on controller will not stop flashing, just hold the Xbox button until light goes out and try again.2. The Bluetooth option on the controller does not work with the Xbox, even with the Mayflash (which has Bluetooth).3. The Mayflash adapter will continue to blink blue, don't worry about it. Use rear USB if it's distracting.Hope this helps some of you on the fence.EDIT: details

The assessment of the controllers was that they're a great value and quality apart from him not quite loving the D-pad.
