I've never had any issues using my Xbox One Elite controller with my Astro A40 + Mix Amp M80 with my play and charge kit, either plugged in or not, even when the battery is fully charged.

Hope this was of help.

I don't see any safety issues with this set up either, other than the potential tripping hazard (depending on where your controller cord is).

Hey Sem,

Thank you for reaching out! Regardless if you are using a wired controller or a wireless controller with a play and charge kit, you have nothing to worry about. I personally rock a Razer Kraken 2 with my controller and I plug it in when I am running low
on battery. Hope this helps!

Yes there should be no issues with normal use in that scenario.

Hey Raccoon

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are seeking a way to prevent others to add you as a friend without you first adding them as a friend.

At this time there is no way to prevent others from adding you as a friend, as anyone that adds you as a friend without you add them as a friend becomes a "follower". Once you add them as a friend then they appear in your Friends list.

However, by
managing your Privacy and online safety settings for Xbox Live, you can decide who on Xbox Live to communicate with and who can send you invites to parties, games or clubs.

Additionally there are changes that will be arriving soon that will allow you to much more appropriately customize your Xbox Live privacy to much better improve your Xbox Live experience, and you can read on that

here.

I hope this was able to clear up any confusion or turmoil this might have caused.

Thanks! I just set it to friends.
