Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this disregarding all the bad reviews which was a good call. Amazing controller. You just have to have a little patience to set it up. Do not use Bluetooth in the windows 10 settings, if you've already done that, go to Bluetooth settings and remove it. Now you have to go to the control panel and click on hardware and sound > devices and printers > add device (top left corner) it will find the "steel series stratus xl" controller and set it up, but this is not the device you need. (by the way you might need to hold down the connection button on the top for 5-10 seconds to reset it) After that device is installed right click it and remove it, then power off the stratus xl and back on again. It should automatically install "HID compliant game controller" this what you need to use or else you will not have any input. If it connects successfully you should have the first led light up on the controller (sometimes the second one). If you want to test input go to start and type joy.cpl and hit enter (there should be "steel series xinput controller" here) click properties and you should be able to test input. This wasn't something I discovered I found it on a reddit thread after hours of research. I will add some pictures so you can understand what I mean. Don't give up, it might take some fiddling around with. This is working on windows 10 build 1803 as of yet. All functionality of Steelseries engine is pretty much lost but it never worked for me anyways. Android works perfectly. **update** Amazon took down my review for my reddit link and pictures? I don't know but I hope this still helps some people. Putting it back up
