A:AnswerThank you for your question. This Xbox controller uses two AA batteries (included) and is not rechargeable on its own. To make it rechargeable, we recommend getting a rechargeable battery pack designed for Xbox Series X/S controllers such as Xbox Rechargeable Battery and USB-C Cable for Xbox Series X/S.
A:AnswerIt definitely can! Any USB-C is compatible. As long as it can charge it, it can work. I have WAY too many USB-C cables from previous purchases and they all work well.
...even the leftover Nintendo Switch one I found, like, yesterday!!
A:AnswerA basic Xbox 360 Wired or Wireless Controller works just fine but here are a few other options Best Buy might still offer:
Logitech Gamepad F310
YCCTEAM XBOX 360 controller
Razer Sabertooth Elite Gaming Controller
HORI Xbox 360 Gem Pad EX
PDP Afterglow Wired Controller
Mad Catz Pro GamePad
PowerA Pro Ex Controller
Saitek Cyborg Rumble Pad
I'd go with a basic XBox 360 controller though, if you're still not certain.
A:AnswerMake sure the output and input are correct in your windows sound settings. There is most likely a default microphone and it isn’t your Xbox controller.
