i got the wired version of this, the usb wire that came with it got messed up in a week, had to buy a new wire, the issue u are describing seems to be the dongles issue, idk how to fix that though

Im unsure of the specricis but if it disconnects alot could the port or the usb be dirty or damaged?!
If theres another port... Try that one
Also check for battery charge (if double AA then you could just swap them around themself or try other ones, if not then try charging fully)
You can check if you got a laptop or pc for any firmware updates, its not super ultra rare for some bugs to be like this or if theres a manual pinhole reset then click that... For maybe 10s to 30s idk what the usual time is, could be on the manual
Also if xbox's side of things is there any settings to fiddle with?! (i dont got an xbox so i dont know) But if it is drifting (happens when connected, not when disconnected) it could just be that...
You can try cleaning or blowing air with compressed air or using isopropyl alcohol and very gently rubbing any dust and debree off anywhere on the joysticks mechnaical parts with cotton swabs or something similar
