I bought mine for around $72 on AliExpress a few weeks after it released which is the most amount of money I've ever spent on a controller. This is pretty much a good deal at $62. I probably won't use it much and treat it like a collector's edition since it represents Rare's 40th anniversary which brings back a lot of nostalgia during my childhood.
Does this actually work wirelessly with Xbox? The description says it does, but I thought only first party MS and a couple of other models supported wireless with Xbox. Maybe that's changed now?
Update: I see now that it's wireless with the included dongle.

You have to use the dongle for wireless Xbox mode. You can leave the dongle in the dock and connect that to the console so it charges your controller when not in use.
Just in case anyone's unclear, while they were released close to each other, this is a version of their first-gen "Ultimate Wireless" controllers and not the "Ultimate 2 Wireless".
It's really not. Compare it to any OEM controller - this uses Hall Effect sticks and has more function. Its at minimum exactly the same as Xbox licensed controller but more reliable long term. 2 of my Series X controllers have joystick failure due to low quality OEM design.

Watch the scene from Home Alone where Macaulay doesn't wear his rollerskates because he doesn't want to mess them up, but then he out grew them and never had a chance to use them... This controller probably won't be worth a ton in the future. Would probably get the best life from just using it.
