Xbox Controllers Compared

Every controller below works on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles and on Windows PC. Xbox 360 controllers don't work on either console. To identify a controller, check the model number printed inside the battery compartment. Let's start with the newest controllers first:

Xbox Series X|S Core Wireless Controller (2020, Model 1914)

Microsoft released the Xbox Series controllers with the Xbox Series S and Series X in 2020. While slightly redesigned to fit more hand sizes (slightly smaller), the main changes compared to the Xbox One S controller include a dedicated share button, a hybrid D-pad (better for quick direction changes), USB-C charging, lower input latency, textured triggers, and Bluetooth Low Energy, which helps with better battery life.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (2019, Model 1797)

This is currently the premium Xbox Series controller. Compared with the first Elite controller mentioned below, the Xbox Elite 2 controller adds adjustable thumbstick tension, three-stop trigger locks, a built-in rechargeable battery, 3 customisable onboard profiles, wrap-around rubber grips, and a USB-C port and Bluetooth. These controllers also come with a hard shell case, making it easy to keep triggers and other accessories together.

Xbox One S Wireless Controller (2016, Model 1708)

This is the first Xbox controller with Bluetooth, so it works with PCs, phones, tablets and smart TVs without an adapter. It also has a textured grip on the back, roughly double the wireless range of the earlier models, and a 3.5mm jack. The top panel is moulded as one piece with the face, which makes it easy to tell apart from the 1697. It still uses micro-USB and AA batteries.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller (Series 1, 2015, Model 1698)

Known as the first Pro Controller for Xbox, the Xbox Elite controller provides a variety of customisations, including 4 removable back paddles that duplicate any other buttons, interchangeable thumbsticks and D-Pad, hair-trigger locks (shorten travel for quicker action), a stronger build with rubberised grips, and 2 on-board custom profiles that you set up with the Xbox App.

Xbox One Wireless Controller with 3.5mm Jack (2015, Model 1697)

This model looks almost identical to the original but adds a built-in 3.5mm headset jack. It still has no Bluetooth and uses a micro-USB port.

Xbox One Wireless Controller - Released with the Xbox One in 2013

This is the launch controller. It introduced impulse triggers, which put small rumble motors inside each trigger. It has no 3.5mm headphone jack, so you need the Xbox Stereo Headset Adapter to plug in a headset. It also has no Bluetooth, so it connects wirelessly only to an Xbox or a PC with the Xbox Wireless Adapter. It charges and plays wired through micro-USB and runs on 2 AA batteries.

"We bought a PS5 from MobiTraderSA about four months ago, and we couldn’t be happier with both the product and the service. At first, I’ll admit I was a bit nervous — it’s a big purchase, and we’ve all come across ****mers online before. But from the very first interaction with Chone and Raymond, they were patient, transparent, and reassuring every step of the way.
