This "Wired" Xbox One Controller Is The Same As The Other One

Today Microsoft has introduced the "Xbox One Controller + Cable for Windows". What we'd like to point out is how extremely similar this controller is to the original. It's so extremely similar that you might mistake one for the other – shocking!

Before you get wild, note that the price on this Xbox One Controller + Cable for Windows is the same as the original Xbox One Wireless controller. They work the same. They both have the same abilities.

Here are the differences:

• USB cord with LED light to show power

That's it.

The USB is separate from the controller, you still connect it through its microUSB port at the head of the unit.

It might have a different SKU when you purchase it at the store – it comes packaged with a USB, so it definitely does. And it costs the same as the regular Xbox One Wireless Controller.

So actually it'd make more sense for everyone to purchase this new Xbox One Controller + Cable for Windows and completely forget the original Xbox One Wireless Controller. It's the same price for the same device + a neat light-up USB cord.

If you seek the Xbox One Controller category in the Microsoft store online today, you'll only find this new controller. The old one is there, but you'll have to be linked through Xbox One's website – how about that?
