Unfortunately the new Xbox One Slim models don't have a USB 3.0 B-Type connector port for a Kinect version 2. (That's the Kinect for an Xbox One). So it requires this powered adapter. Works fine. But at $40.00 bucks, it is way over priced. Be sure to mount the adapter power supply so that the weight of it doesn't pull the cable out of the back of the Slim. BTW, the original Kinects sold with the Xbox 360's won't work on a slim . See important note below - if you already own an older Xbox One with a Kinect (and registered it with MS, or will register it): !!!!! Found this on the MS Support Xbox site: "For users upgrading from original Xbox One to Xbox One S - For a limited time, the Kinect Adapter will be available for free to customers who have an original Xbox One console, an Xbox One Kinect Sensor, and an Xbox One S console. You will need the serial number for all three devices to get the free Xbox Kinect Adapter. To request your free Kinect Adapter, use the online Kinect Adapter fulfillment form." I upgraded and didn't know about this until after I already bought the Kinect Adapter :-( I just registered my new Slim, filled out the forms and a free Kinect adapter for my Slim is on the way. (Now what to do with the spare adapter....)

I’m disappointed that Microsoft stopped giving these kits out for free when you owned a Xbox one and got a newer Xbox without the Kinect port. I have a Day One edition Xbox one and just upgraded to an Xbox One X. I use the Kinect to turn on the tv and to turn it off and voice controls like saving a clip. Which are only supported on the X when you use a mic without Kinect. So I ended up spending $40 more besides the $500 I already spent on the X to get the same functions my 4 year old Xbox one had out of the box for $400. Also it’s confusing on why so many cables are needed with this adapter. I don’t understand why all of this couldn’t have fit into one box without 3 other cords. Terrible design. Works just like it did on the original tho.
