FAQs

What devices is this controller compatible with?

This controller is compatible with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One consoles, Windows 10 PCs, and Android devices via Bluetooth or USB-C. iOS support is planned for a future update.

Does the controller come with a rechargeable battery?

The product description does not specify inclusion of a rechargeable battery pack. Typically, Xbox Wireless Controllers utilize AA batteries or an official Xbox rechargeable 'Play & Charge Kit', both sold separately. Info needed: Does this specific model's retail package include any battery type?

How do I connect the controller to my Windows 10 PC?

You can connect via Bluetooth: Go to `Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices` on your PC, then select `Add Bluetooth or other device` and choose `Bluetooth`. Alternatively, connect directly using the included 9-foot USB-C cable.

Can I use the controller in wired mode all the time?

Yes, you can use the controller in wired mode indefinitely by connecting it with the included USB-C cable. This provides a stable connection and is ideal for competitive gaming or when batteries are low.

How do I update the controller's firmware?

To update the firmware, connect the controller to an Xbox console or a Windows 10 PC (via USB-C or wirelessly) and use the Xbox Accessories app. The app will guide you through the update process, ensuring your controller has the latest improvements and fixes.

Can I remap the buttons on the controller?

Yes, you can remap buttons using the Xbox Accessories app on your Xbox console or Windows 10 PC. This allows for personalized control layouts to suit your gaming style or specific game requirements.

Troubleshooting

Controller won't turn on or respond.

Ensure batteries are properly inserted and charged (if using rechargeable pack) or replaced (if using AA). If using wired, try a different USB port or cable. For wireless, try pressing the Xbox button to wake it up.

Controller disconnects frequently or has input lag.

For wireless, ensure you are within range (typically up to 30 feet) and there are no major obstructions between the controller and the device. Try reconnecting the controller. Ensure your console or PC's Bluetooth drivers are updated. For wired, check the USB-C cable for damage or try a different port.

Share button is not capturing content.

Verify that your console or PC's system settings allow for game clip and screenshot capture. Check if there's enough storage space on your device. On Xbox, ensure you are signed in and have the necessary permissions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

On your Xbox console, press the Pair button on the console itself. The Xbox button on the controller will become solid when connected.
  • For Windows 10 PC/Android: Press and hold the Xbox button to turn on the controller. Press the Pair button until the Xbox button flashes rapidly. On your PC, go to `Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices` and select `Add Bluetooth or other device`. Choose `Bluetooth` and select the controller from the list. For Android, go to your device's Bluetooth settings and pair with the controller.

2. Wired Connection (USB-C):

  • Simply connect one end of the included 9-foot USB-C cable to the controller's USB-C port and the other end to an available USB port on your Xbox console or Windows 10 PC. The controller will automatically detect the wired connection and begin functioning.

  • Xbox Series S
  • Xbox One consoles
  • Windows 10 PCs (via Bluetooth or USB-C)

Care

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to wipe down the controller. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
