    Will any USB-C cable work with Xbox Series X controller?


    Asking because I am using my old Xbox One play and charge kit battery pack inside my new Xbox Series X controller. As you probably know, though, the charging cable for that battery pack is not compatible with the Series X controller because it is not USB-C. I do, however, have a USB-A to USB-C cable that I use to charge my phone with. Will this work with the Series X controller or will I need an official Microsoft cable?

    :)

    Electric Volt controller connect to Win10 via cable

    Hi,

    Almost any USB C to USB A cable (your standard USB Phone/tablet charge cable) will work fine for PC or console gaming with a Series X type controller. I use a 2M USB C cable to connect my Series X controller to my PC.

    I don't have any Bluetooth issues, but using a cable does avoid changing the batteries so much. 😁

    what cable do I need to recharge my Xbox X batteries

    Hello Dr. J, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    To recharge your Xbox Series X batteries, you will need a USB-C cable. The Xbox Series X comes with a USB-C port on the front of the console, which you can use to charge the batteries for your wireless controllers.

    You can use a standard USB-C cable to charge the batteries. Make sure the cable supports device charging and has the ability to transfer data.

    If you don't have a USB-C cable, you can also use an official Xbox battery charging kit to charge your controllers. These kits include a rechargeable battery and a charging cable specifically designed for Xbox controllers.

    Remember that the USB-C cable or battery charging kit connects to the USB-C port on the front of the Xbox Series X console to charge the batteries of the wireless controllers.

    Best regards.

    Play & Charge Kit for Xbox One

    the plug n play charge battery is the same for both, it is the charging cable that is different. the series x version comes with a USB C cable and the standard xbox one comes with a micro usb cable.

    i couldnt get the usb c version for my series controller so i just bought the xbox one version and use a third party usb c cable for charging.

    what cable do I need to recharge my Xbox X batteries

    To recharge your Xbox Series X batteries, you need a USB-C to USB-A or USB-C to USB-C cable, depending on your battery charging port. The Xbox Series X comes with a USB-C port on the front of the console that you can use to charge your devices, including controllers. If your batteries have a USB-C connector, you will need a USB-C to USB-C cable. If your batteries have a USB-A connector, you will need a USB-C to USB-A cable. Make sure the cable is of good quality to ensure safe and efficient charging.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.
