## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work on regular xbox one consoles (not series x or s)?**
A: Yup! This will work with any consoles in the Xbox One family as well.

**Q: Does the old xbox rechargable battery work with the new controllers?**
A: The Xbox play and charge kit batteries will work but the old cable won't because the new controllers use USBC. You can use any good quality USBC cable you might have lying around. If you have batteries that use special battery covers they won't fit. The new battery covers are shaped differently. The bay the battery goes into is the same size but the covers are shaped differently.

**Q: Will this work with an existing xbox wireless adapter on a pc?**
A: Yes, it will work with an existing Xbox Wireless Adapter.

**Q: Does this work on xbox 360?**
A: It does not. This is compatible with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Windows 10 PC, and Android.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Controller!
*by M***. on January 7, 2026*

Bought this controller for my Dad's Birthday and it was perfect! It's his favorite color and the Metallica buttons an the grip, he just loved it. Works perfectly. It was easy to connect to his Xbox series S, and the size is just like every other controller. Definitely worth the price I paid.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value option
*by D***A on December 29, 2025*

Works, great color and design. Quality is there and makes it a great value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best official controller you can get without going pro
*by S***S on March 29, 2025*

First of all, this controller is gorgeous. Unless you just don't care, pay the cost to upgrade to one of these nicer colors for a few bucks and enjoy the lovely controller when not in use. The controling is not consistent however with different colors on different pieces that contrast and clash, so if you don't like that, not the controller for you. Second of all, the clicking on this controller's D-Pad is LOUD so if that drives you crazy, maybe not the controller for you. It's a very clickety clackety controller. Third of all, battery tech and weight and controller drift do not seem to have been meaningfully advanced. Still taking AA batteries and no hall effect sticks. But you can use this with a PC? just like a 360 controller and switch to a cable if your batteries run dry, so it's arguably still one of the best built and versatile controllers money can buy for the price. If you don't need elite features and treat it gently so as not to cause stick drift, you ought to be very satisfied. It's comfortable and durable and worth the cost. Oh yeah and did I mention the the new transparent controllers are gorgeous???
