On a side note, the X Series controller would randomly disconnect from my laptop for a few seconds every now and again which was annoying, the older one isn't having that issue. I think its probably connected to that new Bluetooth protocol someone was talking about earlier in the thread.
Not the ideal fix, but I think I prefer having a micro-usb to charge my controller with anyways.
If you haven't updated the controller's firmware, do so. You need the Microsoft Accessories application for it. Mine and my cousin's controller was disconnecting and was fixed with the firmware update.
