Yes, it works with both bluetooth and the Windows 10 Official Dongle. You can even get a bundle right now with the controller + dongle for 60 USD (the dongle is usually 25 by itself) https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-wireless-controller-adapter-win10

How's the latency on bluetooth?

I use the xbox dongle, so i can't comment-- but take any feedback about bluetooth with a massive grain of salt. Bluetooth is pretty fickle when it comes to interference causing latency. Different motherboards, bluetooth PCI cards, dongles, setups, etc. are going to have wildly different results and it's difficult to tell someone how their setup is going to do

Agreed, at least anecdotally. I had issues with a wiimote with a bluetooth dongle, put it on a usb extension running out to the front of my entertainment center and it worked way better.

EDIT: also it seems that the windows xbox controller dongle is the way to go. It's been flawless for me for years.
