For the Xbox 360, the wireless controllers communicate wirelessly even while plugged in. There's a dongle you can purchase to make it work, though I believe it's discontinued. I wouldn't expect one for the Xbox One controller.
Not sure if Amazon is just working through the remainder of their stock though if it is discontinued (they're listed as a seller on the right since some third part one is like a dime cheaper). I never was able to find the Microsoft dongle alone without the controller though so perhaps they did discontinue it.
Not a bad price for both the dongle and a controller though and always nice to have another one for when friends stop by for some Sonic Racing.

You may need to add the chinese device's hardware ID to the inf file...it's a buggy install but works flawlessly once Windows accepts the driver, just don't remember what the final trick was. JFGI.
