    You would be better off getting a wireless keyboard and mouse that use a USB dongle. They work just fine

    extension cable for xbox 360 controller

    Hi, you just need a bog standard USB extension cable. However there are limits as to the length of USB extension cables, somewhere around 5M (16ft) or so for USB 2 and about 3M (10ft) for USB 3.

    Depending on how far you are from the Xbox you may then start to need looking into getting a powered USB hub or some sort of USB repeater which is going to increase the cost somewhat.

    If you need something that reaches further than say 16ft then a USB powered hub may be the best option, you'd have the controller connect to the hub using a USB extension cable and the hub connected to the Xbox via a USB extension cable, combining two extension
    cables ( one from the controller to the hub and another from the hub to the Xbox you're looking at around 35ft total length including the controller cable length.

    Ebay/Amazon or pretty much anywhere are the best options to purchase the USB extension cables.

    For example this is a 3M USB 2 extension cable

    Something that may be an issue is input lag with cables of those lengths but until you try it you won't know for sure I guess.

    USB 3 hub expansion for devices

    Hello SandTandpole7943,

    There are some USB 3.0 Hubs for the Xbox One. You can use any USB 3.0 Hub that works on a computer for that matter.

    An Xbox branded USB 3.0 Hub is the dreamGEAR Xbox One 3.0 USB Hub (although is not an Xbox nor Microsoft product).

    If you want an attached-to-the-console 3.0 Hub; you can try the Collective Minds 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure & 3 Front USB 3.0 Ports Media HUB - Xbox One that also lets you put an Internal Hard Drive inside of it.

    Both can be bought on Amazon.

    XB 1S USB Conections

    Xbox One S has 3 USB ports, 2 on the back and one in front on the black trim at the lower left of the disc slot.

    I use this hub on the 360 and the Xbox One and have never had any issues with devices attached to either console...www.amazon.com/.../ref=sr_1_6

    Xbox one hard drive

    In theory you can simply plug in the external USB drive from your original Xbox One into one of the Xbox One S' USB ports.

    However, if the drive is "fitted" to plug into the side of the original Xbox One's side port (like this enclosure here for example) you would need a
    USB 3.0 compliant extension cord. Treat the enclosure like a "regular" external USB drive, and connect the USB plug of the enclosure to the USB extension cord and the extension cord to
    the Xbox One S.

    If you don't like this "dirty" solution, you can simply buy another USB3.0 compliant USB hard drive, plug that into the One S, have the console format it as game storage, and then use the

    Network Transfer
    to transfer the games from the Xbox One to the Xbox One S via your home network, instead of downloading the games through the Internet.
