xBox One Controller on Android - Best controller ever

I haven't found much recent info on the internet about it... so i thought I'd post here for folks.

All the reviews about the xbox one controller on android are pretty old. I recently picked one up and sure enough I found all the same reported issues. Buttons weren't mapped right, etc etc. Anyways... If you have a Windows 10 computer and you installed the latest firmware on the controller, it will fix all those issues and you will not need a root and remapper for the buttons to work properly.

In short - xbox one controller is awesome on Android if you update to the latest firmware by using the "xbox accessories" app on Windows 10. So if you're on the fence about getting a controller for android, this one works perfectly.

I'm still testing more games, but so far the list i have the works
- Modern Combat 5
- pew pew
- NBA Jam
- Asphalt

Update
- Tested on Samsung Tab 7 and works great
- Tested on Sony Bravia Android TV - works fine. I can navigate the home screen and menus for most apps. Sometimes i have to re-pair, but android TV isn't very stable, so i seriously doubt it's the controller.

Additional games tested:
- Riptide GP2
- Table Top Racing
- Inferno 2
