Wired Controller Issues

Hi there, sorry this is not related to an Xbox console but only controller. I asked a question on Microsoft's forum and they told me to ask it here.

Basically, I use a Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller for Windows on my PC, and I love it. Absolute 5 stars. But I haven't even used it for a year and there seems to be a problem with the wiring. As the part of the wire where it connects to the controller is moved,
the controller get's disconnected.

Another problem is, I live in Bangladesh and have no Microsoft support around me. I bought the controller from Thailand last year. Is there anyway I could fix it myself?

Question about the Xbox One Controller

Okay, so they say you can attach a micro USB cable to it and make it a wired controller. Fantastic. However, the reason I purchase wired controller isn't the latency issues - it's the batteries. I can't stand batteries.

So what I'm wondering is if I go to the trouble to use the Xbox One Controller wired, do I even need to have batteries in there? Will it be powered by the system itself like a regular wired controller would?

This is pretty important to me, so please let me know.

 

Upcoming controller update

I'm now having sync issues with my controller - anyone else?

I've resorted to using the controller wired to prevent any disconnects - Spoke with support and they seem to think its interference?
