A:AnswerYes. It uses a 2.4ghz proprietary channel for the Xbox, and secondary Bluetooth frequencies for PC and IOS and Android devices. It can connect to a PS4/5 and even a Nintendo switch with an adapter as well.
A:AnswerThe form factor of the back is slightly different so you'll need a new charger as the back cover is different. That said older rechargeable packs can be charged separately and then installed in the controller.
Another option is to buy a new Xbox Series rechargeable battery pack (using the cover the controller came with) an then charge it via USB-C. This time around there are two sets of battery pins inside. I'm guessing that it won't charge older packs or rechargeable AA batteries via USB-C so that people wouldn't damage their controller by accidentally charging standard AA batteries, hence the second set of charging pins.
A:AnswerIt requires USB-C at the controller connection. Does not come with any cables. You get Controller and 2x AA Batteries in the box as well as some instructions that take you to a page 404 because microsoft has their head up their butts again.
A:AnswerYes. These new Xbox Series X | S Controllers are backwards compatible with Xbox One X | S. Likewise, Xbox One X | S Controllers are forwards compatible with Xbox Series X | S consoles.
A:AnswerBecause it has bluetooth capabilities, as long as the TV supports it, you should be able to directly connect to the TV. I know samsung TV's support that. You don't have to connect it to a game console first. In fact, I have purchased a few xbox controllers just to use with my PC, iPad, or apple tv 4k without ever connecting it to a xbox console. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerThank you for your question. This Xbox controller may connect to iMac devices via Bluetooth but is not designed for use with them. It is compatible with iOS devices running iOS 14.5 or later.

A:AnswerThanks for checking! Yes, you may use this controller with a Windows 10/11 laptop via Bluetooth or through a wired connection with a standard USB-C cable.
