I just bought a Xbox One S controller and a Bluetooth 4.0 CSR dongle for my PC.
It works great.
Now I want to play games (mostly FIFA) with my brother and I need to buy another controller. I listed my preferred ways but I don't know if they work.
If anyone has tried these scenarios or is %100 sure that one way works please let me know.
- Xbox One S controller and DS4 over BT
- Two Xbox One S controllers over BT (as far as I searched this one is not possible)
- Xbox One S controller over BT and another controller (whatever it may be) over USB cable
I know that Microsoft and Sony each have their official dongle for connecting their controllers to PC (and this will be my last option if above ways wont work) but since I have Bluetooth I was wondering If the two can work together.

You should be able to pair all of them to the same PC with one Bluetooth dongle. I just tested with two Xbox One S controllers and two Dualshock 4 controllers and it worked fine. You may need third party drivers for the Dualshock 4 depending on the software you're trying to use it with.
Don't buy the official dongles. The Xbox One dongle is only for the OLD pre-S gamepads that do not support Bluetooth. The dongle does nothing for Xbox One S controllers. The Dualshock 4 dongle will work but it can only handle one controller at a time and isn't necessary if you already have a working Bluetooth dongle.
Both controllers work well with a micro USB cable.
