    ..........

    Hello everyone Xbox One Controller: Wireless vs Wired :)

    ..........

    I was thinking of buying a USB cable for my Xbox One controller because it randomly gets disconnected sometimes when it is wireless Xbox One Controller: Wireless vs Wired :(

    ..........

    For those of you that use always use their Xbox One controller with a USB cable, I hope that you don't mind If I ask you some questions Xbox One Controller: Wireless vs Wired :)

    ..........

    (1) Does the Wireless Xbox One controller still need batteries if I use a USB cable for it?

    (2) Does it still get disconnected even with a USB cable connection?

    (3) Is there a difference in controller response time with a USB cable connection?

    (4) I'm not that knowledgeable about computer stuff Xbox One Controller: Wireless vs Wired :( Do I need to buy a USB 3 cable for the Xbox One controller for it to work properly or is a USB 2 fine?

    ..........

    Buying new controller. Wired or Wireless? [Help]

    Is there a lot of latency when using wireless vs wired? I mean, I have wireless controllers for my 360, but it feels responsive nevertheless.

    Xbox One Controller: Wireless vs Wired

    When connected by usb no batteries are needed. If I were you I would buy a play and charge kit which comes with the cable and a battery pack. Only time I ever play wired is when battery is charging never had it disconnect on me

    wired or wireless that is the question

    Wireless controller vs Wired

    Wireless just because I don't trip over a wire and it is hardly noticeable. Wired will always be better but personally I like wireless.

    Wireless Mic vs Wired

    A wireless mic is handy but a lot of time, people cut out suddenly and if there is any lag, it affects your headset a little as well. You dont get this issue with a wired headset. I still prefer a wireless mic purely because the lack of wire.

    Xbox controllers for windows 10

    You'd probably be better off to go for an Xbox One controller as they are the newest Xbox controllers out, and it is easier to get support for them (in my opinon).

    In terms of wired vs. wireless, it's really up to you.

    I haven't played games on PC with an Xbox One controller, and I'm not a steam member.

    Wireless or Wired Controller?

    Well, I know with fighting games wired controllers are used for the fastest response time BUT it isn't by much.

    Another thing to consider with wireless vs wired controllers is that when your wireless controller is connected to the console via the usb charging cable, the stereo/spatial audio outputs a bit louder when using headphones so there is one benefit to that
    connection method.
