Controller question

SpikiestLoki02 · Nov 24, 2014

Hello,

I have an xbox one and the controller uses regular batteries. I've ordered a battery pack thing, but the batteries are really low. I have a usb cable for my phone which fits in the controller, and I tried take out the batteries and plug it in to use it that
way, but the light flashes a few times then goes off. I'm wondering if I left the batteries in (so it uses some of the power from them and some from the usb to conserve the battery life) would it break the controller because they're not rechargable batteries?

Thank you,

Sarah

:)

Controller Question

With my current 360 set up I have all my AV equipment in a separate room from the TV. The 360 controllers work well through the wall. Do the new ones work in the same way?

While the chances of damage occurring from such a low voltage going through the USB cable I wouldn't recommend it. Non-rechargeable batteries can heat up and leak if put in a situation where power is being applied to them.

Ideally you'd be able to find some other batteries until your play and charge kit arrives just to be on the safe side.

You'll need the adapter with the original if you want wireless.

If you have Kinect hooked up and you want to switch controllers, you should be able to just turn off the controller you want to recharge, then turn on and pick up the new controller. Kinect should automatically associate this controller with you.

If not, you'd have to sign out of your profile on the controller you're going to recharge, turn it off, then turn on the second controller and sign in using that one. Others say that you have to turn the console off, then turn it back on with the controller
you're going to switch to.

Hi there

i am wanting to customize my xbox controller on this

website

If by "this website" you mean the
Xbox Design Lab then yes. The customized controllers you order via the Design Lab website are all wireless, and can be transformed for latency free wired gameplay by connecting them with a Micro USB cord to the console.
