Because my desktop doesn’t have Bluetooth, I usually use a wired Xbox One controller, though because of the micro-usb I can’t say I’m a fan.

It’s not hard to get a USB Bluetooth controller for a PC.

All that being said, I don’t really think that wireless is generally worthwhile for a PC, unless you have some kind of home theater setup in your living room. If you have a wire, you have plenty of power, no concern about battery life, no interference potential (though I haven’t had problems with Bluetooth, I have with proprietary 2.4GHz protocols), less moving parts.

With video game consoles, running a wire across someone’s living room was really obnoxious; the tradeoff makes a lot of sense there. But if I’m sitting right in front of the computer, none of that really applies. It avoids me maybe managing to wrap one cord around another, but that’s about it, and I don’t think that that’s enough of a benefit.

And I’d rather not be broadcasting unique Bluetooth IDs. Okay, probably not that big a deal from a privacy standpoint with desktop hardware that doesn’t move around, doesn’t have the kind of “tracking someone’s movements” concerns that Bluetooth devices that are carried around do, but I don’t really need every nearby cell phone telling Google or Apple when I’m playing a video game, having them build up a database spanning my whole life.
