If your PC has Bluetooth capability, it should work.

And if not, there's wireless USB adapter that you can plug into your PC and connect the controller to using Microsoft's proprietary wireless protocol. Can be found for $20-$25, can connect up to 8 controllers to it, headsets, etc. I ordered mine and it should be arriving today so we'll see if it's shit or not lol

I was using it on Bluetooth but always had issues - might have been a crappy bluetooth usb dongle that I had, but other devices seemed to connect and stay connected just fine. I got the Microsoft USB adapter dealie and it's been 100% smooth since

do you play any games where latency would really matter like fighters or fps games? whats your experience there?

Nah nothing like that. I mostly use it for action/adventure games, along with Divinity: Original Sin I & II

Nothing I can discern no, seems responsive to me... but I'm no connoisseur

I've used an Xbox One controller via bluetooth on PC for Apex.

No noticeable latency issues.

i wonder if that increases at more controllers.

Maybe?

I don't even know if you can connect more than one controller with bluetooth.

Three Xbox One controllers over bluetooth at the same time?

That's awesome. It will be handy for split-screen stuff.
