How to use an Xbox One controller wirelessly with a PC?
As I understand it, the Xbox One controller uses a standard USB port, which allows someone to connect it to a PC with a standard USB cable.
A wired solution does not meet my needs and it is very difficult to find the "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for PC" bundle in stores these days. I would like to know if anyone has been able to use an Xbox One controller with a PC in a wireless fashion by substituting wireless USB for the cable.
I imagine this could be done by finding a receiver compatible with the controller or by attaching a dongle to the controller that replaces the cable? (Similar to how those cheap mice for laptops work.)

The Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, which will allow an Xbox One controller to work on a Windows computer, will only support Windows 10. It is compatible with either USB 2.0 or 3.0 connection.
