    Am i missing something here?

    I just bought a wired GameStop wired controller for my Xbox 360. However, when I get home, it has a PS2 connector on the end, instead of a USB to plug into the Xbox. Was I supposed to buy a PS2 to USB adapter for the end, or should one have came with the
    controller or what?

    Are all Xbox One Controllers going to be Wireless?

    Yes, but also no.

    Every Xbox One controller is wireless. However, when you plug it in via USB it becomes wired and sends the signal via wire instead of wireless (while also charging batteries, if you are using the charge-pack - or in the case of your question, it's using the power via cable instead of the batteries).

    This is in contrast to how Xbox 360 controllers work. X360 has both wireless and wired. An X360 wireless controller when plugged in via USB is still sending the signal wireless, but is getting power via the USB. This is why you can't plug an Xbox 360 wireless controller via USB into your computer and have it work, because the controller is still sending a wireless signal.

    This makes the Xbox One controllers great for both Xbox One and PC gaming, because you don't need to buy a 'wired' controller for it to work on the PC, you can just plug it in via USB and it'll send the signal via USB instead. I'm really glad Microsoft did this.

    No one here can answer that question for you. You can always use a micro usb cord to connect your controller to the console and that makes the controller wireless

    There already is...the existing controllers become true wired controllers when plugged in. You just a need a USB to mini USB cable.

    ^^Yep. A while before the Xbox One launch, MS was granted a patent on a wireless controller that turns into a wired one when connected with a cable.

    When the Xbox One controller is connected to the console via a USB cable, the commands are sent through the cable, rather than through wireless, and you can test that by removing the batteries and you'll find it still works. So, the answer to your question
    is almost certainly no, as there is no need for a separate wired controller as the one you already have already works as both a wired and wireless controller. Will the Xbox One ever get a Wired controller to plug into the USB ports? :)

    wired xbox 360 controllers

    Okay. Here's a list of what I did to try and trouble-shoot the issue.

    1 - Turned off and unplugged XBOX 360. Plugged in 3 Microsoft brand wired controllers into USB ports on the back. Plugged in XBOX 360 and powered on. All 3 controllers show Player 1. Unplugged each controller individually at the in-line release/breakaway
    connector and reconnected. No change. Each still shows Player 1.

    2 - Turned off and unplugged XBOX 360. Plugged in 1 Microsoft brand wireless controller into USB port on front (I know it's a wireless controller but this one is used and the rechargeable battery is completely dead and won't hold a charge.). Plugged in
    3 Microsoft brand wired controllers into USB ports on the back. Plugged in XBOX 360 and powered on. All 3 regular wired controllers show Player 1. Wireless controller that's plugged into a USB port shows as Player 2.

    Thanks.

    Don't you find it funny

    All the Xbox one controllers will have a USB port so you can plug into your xbox one wired. I like wireless better but those professional gamers prefer wired.
