    Awesome. THANKS!!

    These seem to be bloody hard to find at the mo, for a good price

    Im just building my first gaming PC and I needed one of these.

    Thanks again

    • Linkwick on 02/12/2015 - 12:21

      They're just hard to find, full stop.
      All EBs on my side of town don't have any (or never got any). JB had some, but now looks like stock is scattered around a few stores only.

  • cmcv on 02/12/2015 - 11:31

    Whats the 5% off code as I didn't get the email from them with it today.

    • Ryxxi on 02/12/2015 - 11:32

      Its on the front page….https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/223017

      • cmcv on 02/12/2015 - 11:43

        If you mean jbhifi main page that doesn't help as I am subscribed already & I didn't get an email & if I put my email in again it confirms I am subscribed… Is it a set code?

        • Ryxxi on 02/12/2015 - 11:55
          -1

          use a different email then.

        • cmcv on 02/12/2015 - 11:59

          @Ryxxi: & still is the code generic for all or specific per person.

        • KRiSX on 02/12/2015 - 14:43

          @cmcv: code is not generic from what i've seen

    As much as this is a deal, I can't help but wonder how long it'll be before there's a Xbox One for Windows bundle for like a flat $70 for the controller or some such.

    Also the DS4 isn't bad on Windows either, the touchpad can be good for mouse stuff if the driver you're using works that way.

      $89 at PLE

      https://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemId=621198

      Still cheaper to get this + controller from Umart $82.55

      • ezarc on 02/12/2015 - 12:00

        Is there any advantage to the Xbox One controller over the 360 controller?

        • Raynes on 02/12/2015 - 12:02

          Has independent vibration in the triggers but doesn't seem like PC is taking advantage of that yet.
          So nothing major really.

          It's very minimal. But this would also allow you to use the elite which would be an improvement of sorts.

        • ItsMeAgro on 02/12/2015 - 12:47

          Not really. Slightly better d-pad.

        • hamwhisperer on 02/12/2015 - 12:59
          +2

          Yes, it's new - it has rumble triggers, it's new tech (likely to be supported longer) it's compatible with an Xbox One if you ever buy one, which is current.

        • JonnyCookieDough on 02/12/2015 - 14:16

          its said to support the chatpad too i think.

          http://www.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-one/accessories/communication…

          the 360 chatpad was a real pain to try and get to work and required some extensive firmware hacks afaik.

        • traversal on 02/12/2015 - 14:50

          @jmiersy: yay! I had no idea they were even releasing an Xbox One chat pad. I might be able to ditch my logitech keyboard for text input to lounge-room Gaming PC, thanks for the tip. Thanks OP for the adapter link, bought one :)

        • JonnyCookieDough on 07/12/2015 - 09:37

          @traversal: check out controller companaion on steam! completey replaced my wireless keyboard!

      • hamwhisperer on 02/12/2015 - 12:58

        I get the impression that's a store built bundle though, not an actual MS product in one?

  • megatallica on 02/12/2015 - 12:10

    Still waiting on a Windows 7 Hack, only progress I could find was a Reddit post, but the guy hit a wall when he tried to run a service that was included with windows 10

    • Letrico on 02/12/2015 - 12:23

      Just move up to Windows 10. Not much point sticking to Windows 7 except the interface.

      • megatallica on 02/12/2015 - 12:25

        Isnt the adapter locked to "Windows exclusive" games?

        • Letrico on 02/12/2015 - 12:30
          +1

          Well the adapter is locked to Windows 10 only due to the drivers and stuff, nothing locked on games. It works like the previous xbox 360 controller dongle.

        • BigLeviathan on 02/12/2015 - 19:00

          @Letrico: confirmed! Bought this and windows 7 does not even recognise this

  • preasm14 on 02/12/2015 - 12:34

    is this function the same as wireless adapter included in Xbox 360 wireless for windows?

    https://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemId=601486

    • Letrico on 02/12/2015 - 12:38

      Nope. Xbox 360 wireless adapter will only work with Xbox 360 controllers and Xbox One Wireless Adapter only works for Xbox One controllers.

  • Ryxxi on 04/12/2015 - 10:36

    If anyone is having trouble getting this work, follow these instructions : https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/4901239384302… one of the versions will work. For me the 21th Nov 64 bit one worked.

  • Ryxxi on 17/12/2015 - 15:45

    This adapter will now work with windos 7, 8/8.1 Drivers here http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_support/xbox_on_windows_support/…
