Controllers
The Xbox wireless controller is among the most recognised on the market and comes in many colours. It connects to the console, but also to a PC over Bluetooth or a wireless dongle — which is why many PC players choose it first.
Unlike other consoles, it runs on ordinary AA batteries or a rechargeable pack sold separately. The Elite model adds swappable sticks, rear paddles and adjustable triggers for competitive play.
The other essentials
- Storage expansion card — slots into the back of the console. It is the only fix for Series X|S titles — external USB runs older games only.
- Headsets — wired through the controller jack, or wireless connecting straight to the console.
- Batteries and charging — rechargeable packs and docks — no more swapping AA cells.
- Cases and stands — protection in transit and vertical support for the console.
- Cables — the Series X supports HDMI 2.1 for 4K at high frame rates — the right cable matters.

- Yes, and it is among the easiest: it connects by USB cable, Bluetooth or a wireless dongle, and is recognised automatically by most games.
