Can I use an Xbox One or 360 controller on an older model original Xbox console?

Bee of the bird of the · Jun 13, 2019

I have an original Xbox but the controller connecting wire is broken. Can I use the later Xbox One or Xbox 360 controllers on it? I am asking because it is very difficult to find an original Xbox controller but there are lots of the later version
controllers for sale online. Ideally I would like a wireless one so there would be no issues with the connecting wire. Thanks.

unfortunately, it's not possible to use those controllers on an original xbox.

If it's an older model 360 where the hard drive clips into the top of the console & the hard drive is an official Microsoft one then yes.

Just a heads up that if you're thinking of installing your own HDD as opposed to an official Xbox 360 HDD, this can be construed as tampering with the hardware and may lead to a console ban. The same applies to using an original model HDD with a Slim console
or an S model HDD with an older console.

You'll want to use an official Xbox 360 HDD or use flashdrives to boost storage space.

Depends on what model 360 you have. If it's the new S model or 2nd and beyond older model you can use HDMI. If it's the original non-HDMI version you can get the 360 VGA cable to use for it.

it looks like your using a wireless connection. Do you have one of the older 360 models or one of the new slim models. The reason why I ask is because if you have one of the older model 360 console's you will need the wireless network adapter in or to use
a wireless connection. If you have one of the newer slim models then the network adapter is built into the console.
