Wireless USB was also the format used by the Xbox 360 controllers.

Huh. I had a 360 controller and a wireless adapter for my pc. It died a few years back though.

Does that mean they’ll work with any wireless USB adapter? I have a 360 controller but haven’t been able to source a USB dongle to use it with my computer.

Interesting that you can't find one. I got one a few years ago when I built a little emulator system out of a Pi. Works fine. I can't remember where I got it, though. I thought eBay, but I don't see it in my purchase history.

AFAICT those are almost all for later Xbox controllers which are built on Bluetooth.

No, they work on whatever their custom wireless protocol is. I use one all the time.

There isn't one custom protocol.

360 used wireless USB. Xbox One on uses Bluetooth.
