Why not make a wired controller that can just plug in play

instead have to buy a wireless adapter and a shitty controller that needs batteries

theyre literally 10 steps behind with controller technology

You can also just plug in an Xbox 360 controller.

They definitely sell wired controllers that need no adapter, because I'm plugged into my PC with one right now.

'glances at wired xbox 1 controller'
'glances at wireless ps4 controller with usb connection'
'glances at switch pro controller with usb connection'

TC this sounds like a user error problem.

If you get a 360 controller it has to be a wired controller out of the box.
If you get an X1 controller you can use literally any micro-USB cable you most certainly already have if you own any non-Apple devices to connect it to the computer.

And Windows has native support for both of these.

Ah, I've just been using an X1 controller with a cable. Didn't realize 360 worked too. Might pick one up, I like how they feel.
