I've been using an Xbox Series S controller on my PC via one of those official Xbox usb dongles for quite some time now to play Steam games etc. and it's worked perfectly. A while ago i also found an app that shows you the battery percentage when the controller is on via an icon in the system tray.
Ok now recently i bought an actual Xbox Series S to play some Original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One games etc. and i discovered a cool feature with the controller that lets you use it for both the console and PC simply by double tapping the sync button to switch between them. Only thing is it will only work if you have your controller connected to your PC via a normal Bluetooth dongle, not the official Xbox one, which means the battery indicator app won't work anymore.
I did however read a few places that there are... supposedly... some Bluetooth dongles and/or 3rd party apps that can accurately show battery percentage without using the official Xbox dongle... does anyone know anything about this?
