Windows 8.1 Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter Driver

Likes: - Works with Windows Vista, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 Home (no need to manually install the driver for Windows 10 - just plug and play) - Reliable connection with my 2.4GHz Access Point - LED activity status - Tight fit cap Dislikes: - Slippery plastic case

I have bought this controller to replace my old Xbox 360 controller. As am using this controller on windows I cant say about my experience with game console, but I really like the way it works on windows. Please dont forget to buy xbox usb adapter for wireless experience (only for pc).

Some minor difficulties during install- Needed to be in X-Input Mode to be recognized properly. Usually recognized (in games and Windows 7) as the XBox 360 Controller- Windows Update will also try to install the XBox 360 controller driver.

I have a MacBook Pro dual-booted with OS 10.9 and Windows 8.1 Update 1. This adapter works on both, without any issues. The manufacturer has the latest drivers available on their website.

I was looking for USB to serial adapter which will work under the Windows 7 and this adapter does exactly that. Even better - Windows 7 already has built-in driver for this adapter!

I use windows 8.1 quite often. On this mac, all drives (except the internal flash drive) are external. Windows runs great off Thunderbolt connected drives. You can have multiple window drives and select the one you want on boot by holding down the option key.

No knock on the product, but I had hoped it would connect my USB -B ported laser printer to the USB-C port on my notebook. It's an older printer and the port is USB 2.0 standard. The description for this cable said USB 2.0 so I hoped Windows would recognize the printer. The printer manufacturer (very well known Brand) does not provide a driver for Windows 10, but their Website says Windows 10 comes with a driver for it. This printer worked with my previous Windows 10 notebook via USB, and via ethernet worked with previous Windows versions back to XP. The computer would see the printer and list it's name, but would not install the driver. I tried a few other USB adapters with same problem and no luck. Turns out you need software in addition to hardware to make this conversion. I have since obtained a Startech port adapter for connecting my notebook to dual monitors, mouse, keyboard, ethernet, and the printer all through the notebooks 1 free USB-C port. Had to install drivers for the port adapter first, but now everything is working great. If you have a new printer, with installation software, this cable may work just fine. If your printer is old, you will need a port adapter with software.

I tried this adapter on two Windows 10 laptops. Windows did not find and install a driver automatically on either one, but I came to this site, downloaded the driver package, and was in business on both machines in a few minutes.

This is an internal drive, plain and simple. Starts up fast, extra thin (half the thickness of a normal 3.5 drive), runs cool (thinness allows for more heat dissapation). But... I had bought this to put in an external USB 3.0 enclosure to use with my Dell XPS 8700 which has Windows 8.1. Unfortunately, after hooking it up, it would perpetually disconnect itself during file transfers, especially with files upwards of 1gb. Thinking the drive was defective, I took the internal drive of my Dell, which was the same brand, model and capacity, and put that into the enclosure. Same disconnects occurred. Then I replaced the cable between the drive and computer with a USB 2.0 cable, and the disconnects stopped, although file transfers took 10x longer. This proved that the drives were fine, but they did not work in a USB 3.0 enclosure. I could live with that, until... After a week or so, my computer developed the same symptoms (constant disconnects) for other USB storage devices. Since it was USB 3.0, I blamed the USB 3.0 drivers which Windows 8.1 seems to have implemented so poorly. BUT THEN I STARTED GETTING READ ERRORS ON MY SYTEM DRIVE. I could not back up files without drives disconnecting every few seconds. In short, THIS HAD SCREWED UP MY OPERATING SYSTEM. After a complete reinstall of Windows, everything was back to normal and all my drives (except the Barracuda in external enclosure) could read and write properly. The next day I bought a WD Black and put that in the enclosure... BOOM ... 100gb of files transferred seamlessly. So, to summarize... DO NOT PUT THIS DRIVE IN A USB 3.0 ENCLOSURE OR IT WILL WRECK THE WINDOWS 8.1 OPERATING SYSTEM. 1 month of my life wasted, I can't return the drive since it isn't actually defective, thought I'd at least write about my experience.

Go on and get this for your insta 360 camera. What you do is take the hole at the bottom of this adapter and poke your thread selfie stick through it and thread it to the bottom of your camera. Make sure this settles along the side of your camera so it doesn't show up in your 360 footage and if you have the Rode wireless go, wireless Go II or the Wireless go ME you can mount them flawlessly onto this adapter. Disclaimer: you'll want to also purchase the insta360 audio adapter so you can actually connect your rode mics to your insta360. So you purchase this adapter to mount your RODE wireless mics to and the insta360 microphone adapter to plug that TRS cable your Rode wireless microphone came with into and that's all you'll need as far as that goes. There is an alternative to this adapter but it wouldn't help B&H. However.....this is your cheaper solution
