How to connect XBOX 360 Wireless on Ubuntu 16.04

Question

I'm asking this because of my paranoia. I already know about this question: How do I get an XBOX 360 controller working?, but I want someone to confirm that this is working on 16.04 too.

I want to buy 2 Xbox 360 Controllers, and they come with a Wireless adapter from a site like eBay. The problem is that I want to use them on my Ubuntu 16.04 Laptop, and I want to be sure that this configuration will work. What do I need to install and do?

sticsk: Do you have any reason to think it won't work for you on 16.04? I ask as this answer explicitly supports 16.04. @MichaelBay & reviewers: This is asking how to find out if a specific peripheral device will work, not for what device to use. Numerous questions on this site are about how to get particular hardware working. Such questions differ from asking if the specific hardware can work at all only by being broader, and they're still on topic and not too broad. This seems like a duplicate though, in that one of the answers there does cover it. — Eliah Kagan, Sep 21 '17 at 11:50
See also How do I get an Xbox One controller to work with 16.04 (not Steam), if Rael Gugelmin Cunha's answer to How do I get an XBOX 360 controller working? is not sufficient. (Btw, the banner here says the question was closed as off-topic, but 2/5 of us voted to make it a duplicate.) — Eliah Kagan, Sep 21 '17 at 12:11
@EliahKagan No worries, It's quite likely that https://askubuntu.com/questions/165210/how-do-i-get-an-xbox-360-controller-working/448217#448217 will solve the problem for the OP. It's hard to imagine 17 upvotes on an answer that doesn't work. ;-) — Elder Geek, Sep 22 '17 at 02:30
