So I bought an Xbox Series controller to use with my PC thinking it'd be like plug and play, but now I find myself downloading a couple of Windows apps - developer mode and installing the packages manually since the store is dead - and updating firmware in the controller through USB cables. I guess that's MS idea of friendly interfaces nowadays. At least I got two free weeks of Gamepass.

Really? That sucks.

I was thinking about getting one too, but if it's that much of a pain in the butt maybe I won't.

or just use a usb 3.0 cable and skip all that

That was with the USB cable. But, to be fair, I'm partly to blame since I've messed around so much to cut all the automatic updates crap. Apparently one of the recent ones was necessary to recognize the wireless functionality of the new controller for some reason.

But even if I hadn't - yeah, it definitely was an easier time to connect and configure the Switch Pro.
