At present, when this function is on the PC, it is limited to connecting the new handles via Bluetooth. Using Microsoft’s Xbox to connect to a USB device is invalid; iOS devices are currently not in the supported range, but Xbox Cloud Gaming will soon be available on iPad and iPhone It will be launched on the Internet, and it may be expected to be included in support by then.

In fact, this feature is also recorded in the announcement of the Xbox handle, but it does not seem to be a key point in product marketing, which is a pity. There are also users who have tested the old Xbox One handles that support Bluetooth, but it does not seem to work; as for some users of the Xbox Elite 2 handles, they also said that they can’t work properly, so this function seems to be a feature of the latest Xbox handles. , As for the old handles, it depends on whether Microsoft plans to decentralize the function with firmware.
