The '''Xbox Wireless Controller''' is the primary [[game controller]] for the [[Xbox One]] and [[Xbox Series X and Series S|Xbox Series X/S]] [[home video game console]]s, also the official controller for use in [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]-based [[Personal computer|PCs]], and compatible with other operating systems such as [[macOS]], [[Linux]], [[iOS]], and [[Android (operating system)|Android]]. The controller maintains the overall layout found in the [[Xbox 360 controller]], but with various tweaks to its design, such as a revised shape, redesigned [[analog stick]]s, [[shoulder button]]s, and [[shoulder triggers|triggers]], along with new rumble motors within the triggers to allow for directional [[haptic technology|haptic feedback]].

It has had three revisions with several changes to the controller's design and functionality. Microsoft also markets the '''Elite Wireless Controller''', a premium version that includes interchangeable parts and programmability features. In turn, each of the aforementioned variations has been offered in various color schemes, some featuring special designs tying into specific games. The Xbox Series X and Series S introduced an updated version of the controller, with further refinements to its shape and ergonomics.

==Layout==
{{multiple image |align=left |direction=horizontal |total_width=120px |caption_align=center
|image1=Xbox View button.svg |caption1=View
|image2=Xbox Menu button.svg |caption2=Menu}}
The Xbox One controller retains roughly the same layout as the Xbox 360 controller, including four main face buttons, two shoulder bumpers, two analog triggers, two [[analog stick]]s and a digital [[D-pad]]. The Start and Back buttons are replaced by Menu and View buttons, while the Guide button, now officially called the Xbox button (whereas this was merely a common nickname for it on the Xbox 360 controller), consists of a white backlit Xbox logo, and does not feature the ring of light that served as an indicator for the controller's assigned number (1 to 4).

== Design ==
Microsoft invested over $100&nbsp;million into refining the controller design for the Xbox One; internal designers had created prototypes with various tweaks and refinements to the design over the [[Xbox 360 controller]], along with those including unorthodox features such as embedded screens and speakers (which were rejected due to their effects on battery life, and redundancy to the main display and sound system), and the ability to emit odors.<ref name="vb-part1">{{cite web|url=https://venturebeat.com/2013/11/18/the-xbox-one-controller-projectors-smells-and-other-stuff-that-didnt-make-it-in-part-1-exclusive/ |title=The Xbox One controller: Projectors, smells (!), and other stuff that didn't make it in (part 1, exclusive) |work=VentureBeat |date=November 18, 2013 |access-date=April 9, 2015}}</ref>

The Xbox One controller maintains the overall layout found in the [[Xbox 360 controller#Design|Xbox 360 controller's design]], but with enhancements such as redesigned grips, a smoother build, and the removal of the protruding battery compartment.  The controller also contains light emitters that allow it to be tracked and paired using [[Kinect for Xbox One|Kinect sensor]], and to detect when it is not being held to automatically enter a low-power state. The controller contains a [[micro USB]] port, enabling wired use of the controller with the console or on computers running [[Windows 7]] or later with [[Driver (software)|drivers]], and [[firmware]] updates.<ref>{{cite web|title=Update your Xbox One Controller to use the Stereo Headset Adaptor|url=https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/accessories/update-controller-for-stereo-headset-adapter|website=xbox.com|publisher=Microsoft|access-date=February 1, 2015}}</ref><ref name=vb-part4/><ref name=eg-xb1wire>{{cite web|title=Xbox One controller can be plugged in via USB to save power|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-06-xbox-one-controller-can-be-plugged-in-to-save-power|website=Eurogamer|access-date=January 10, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/24/microsoft-explains-xbox-one-controllers-new-buttons | title=Microsoft Explains Xbox One Controller's New Buttons | work=IGN.com | date=May 24, 2013 | access-date=May 26, 2013 | author=Goldfarb, Andrew}}</ref> For communication, the controller uses a new proprietary protocol with a greater [[Bandwidth (signal processing)|bandwidth]] than the wireless protocol used by the Xbox 360 controller, reducing latency and allowing for higher quality headset audio.<ref name=vb-part4>{{cite web|title=The Xbox One controller: A look at the new rumble, faster speed, smooth design, and everything else (part 4, exclusive)|url=https://venturebeat.com/2013/11/21/the-xbox-one-controller-a-look-at-the-new-rumble-faster-speed-design-and-everything-else-part-4-exclusive/|website=VentureBeat|access-date=June 11, 2015}}</ref><ref name=eg-xb1wire/> Up to eight controllers can be connected wirelessly to the console at the same time; if controllers also are supporting wireless chat audio via the Chat Headset, four controllers can be connected simultaneously, and if the controllers are providing wireless chat and stereo in-game audio via the Stereo Headset, two controllers can be connected simultaneously.<ref name=ChatHeadset-support/>

The analog sticks feature a new textured rim, while the D-pad was changed to use a more traditional 4-way design rather than the circular 8-way design of the 360 controller. This change was made partially due to criticism by players of fighting games who, despite the use of "sweeps" across the D-pad in these games being part of the motivation for the 8-way design, felt that the Xbox 360's D-pad performed poorly in that type of game. The updated 4-way design is also better suited for use as individual keys in games that use them for item selection.<ref name=vb-part2>{{cite web|title=The Xbox One controller: What’s new with the analog sticks and D-pad (part 2, exclusive)|url=https://venturebeat.com/2013/11/19/the-xbox-one-controller-whats-new-with-the-analog-sticks-and-D-pad-part-2-exclusive/|website=VentureBeat|access-date=June 11, 2015}}</ref> The design of the face buttons was revised to improve their legibility, using a three-layer design consisting of a black background, colored letter, and a clear covering intended to make the letter appear to "hover" inside it. The buttons themselves are also spaced slightly closer together.<ref name=vb-part3>{{cite web|title=The Xbox One controller: What’s new with the buttons and triggers (part 3, exclusive)|url=https://venturebeat.com/2013/11/20/the-xbox-one-controller-whats-new-with-the-buttons-and-triggers-part-3-exclusive/|website=VentureBeat|access-date=June 11, 2015}}</ref>

The bumpers and trigger buttons were overhauled with a new curved shape to improve their [[ergonomics]], as the user's fingers now naturally lie at an angle upon them unlike the straighter design on Xbox 360 controllers. The bumpers were also made flush with the triggers. The triggers themselves now have a smoother feel, and were made more accurate.<ref name=vb-part3/> Each trigger features independent rumble motors called "Impulse Triggers", which allows developers to program directional vibration. One trigger can be made to vibrate when firing a gun, or both can work together to create feedback that indicates the direction of an incoming hit.<ref name="Controller - IGN">{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/22/xbox-one-controller-hands-on|title=Xbox One Controller Hands-on|last=Lowe|first=Scott|publisher=May 21, 2013|access-date=May 22, 2013}}</ref>

===Xbox Wireless===
After 2016, when Bluetooth connectivity was introduced with the second controller revision (model 1708) alongside the Xbox One S, Microsoft rebranded its proprietary connection protocol as "Xbox Wireless".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theverge.com/2016/8/16/12503856/microsoft-xbox-wireless-platform-features |title=Microsoft's new 'Xbox Wireless' lets PCs support Xbox controllers without dongles |author=Warren, Tom |date=August 16, 2016 |work=The Verge |access-date=14 December 2021}}</ref> Xbox Wireless uses a higher frequency than Bluetooth (2.4&nbsp;GHz), improving bandwidth and lag.

With a firmware update that began rolling out in September 2021, controllers with Bluetooth are able to pair with devices using both wireless protocols, allowing those controllers to switch connections by double-tapping the pairing button.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/09/08/xbox-controller-firmware-update-rolling-out-to-insiders-starting-today/ |title=Xbox Controller Firmware Update Rolling Out to Insiders Starting Today |author1=Ruiz, Daniel |author2=Turtle, Will |date=September 8, 2021 |work=Xbox Wire |access-date=14 December 2021}}</ref>

===Xbox Copilot===
The Xbox Wireless Controller has a [[game accessibility]] feature called "Copilot", supported on Xbox and Windows, which allows a second controller to be used to assist in game input.<ref name="XboxCopilot">{{cite web

==Models==
[[File:Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708 (35327620163).jpg|thumb|right|Location of model number, on printed label inside battery compartment. This is the model 1708 (2016 revision) controller.]]
===Original version (2013)===
The original controller (model 1537) launched with the Xbox One console in November 2013 was black, with colored face buttons. A commemorative white variant was issued to Microsoft employees at launch, but was not available to the public until almost a year later, initially bundled with a matching white console and ''[[Sunset Overdrive]]''.

===First revision (2015)===
On June 9, 2015, Microsoft unveiled a revised version of the standard controller, with model 1697. Its shoulder buttons were redesigned for improved responsiveness, a 3.5&nbsp;mm headphone jack was added near the controller's expansion port, and support for wireless firmware updates was added.<ref name=cnet-controllerupdate>{{cite web|title=Xbox One doubles storage to a terabyte, gets jacked-up controller|url=http://www.cnet.com/news/microsoft-1tb-xbox-one-and-headset-jack-controller/|website=CNET|access-date=June 11, 2015}}</ref><ref name=anand-newcontroller>{{cite web|title=Microsoft Launches Updated Xbox One, Controller, and PC Adapter|url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/9358/microsoft-launches-updated-xbox-one-controller-and-pc-adapter|website=Anandtech|access-date=June 12, 2015}}</ref>

===Second revision (2016)===
A second revision of the controller, model 1708, was introduced alongside the [[Xbox One S]], an updated model of the Xbox One console unveiled in June 2016. It features textured grips, and additionally supports [[Bluetooth]] for use with compatible PCs and mobile devices.<ref name="pcw-xboxonescontroller">{{cite web|title=Xbox One S controller review: New features and custom colors make for a great successor|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/3109702/consumer-electronics/xbox-one-s-controller-review-new-features-and-custom-colors-make-for-a-great-successor.html |author=Dingman, Hayden |website=PC World|publisher=IDG|access-date=May 8, 2017}}</ref><ref name="verge-ones">{{cite web|title=Microsoft announces the Xbox One S, its smallest Xbox yet|url=https://www.theverge.com/2016/6/13/11911184/microsoft-xbox-one-s-announced-price-specs-e3-2016|website=The Verge|publisher=Vox Media|access-date=June 13, 2016}}</ref> Users can also custom-order this controller revision via the "Xbox Design Lab" service, with their choice of colors, and an optional inscription of their Xbox Live screen name for an additional fee.<ref name="verge-designlab">{{cite web|title=Xbox Design Lab lets you build your own colorful Xbox One controller|url=https://www.theverge.com/2016/6/13/11911192/xbox-design-lab-custom-controllers-microsoft-e3-2016 |author=Webster, Andrew |date=June 13, 2016 |website=The Verge|publisher=Vox Media|access-date=June 13, 2016}}</ref>

The second revision can be distinguished from prior revisions by the color and texture of the plastic surrounding the lit Xbox/guide button. Prior controller models 1537 and 1697 have a separate piece of black glossy plastic, with the model 1698 "Elite" also having a separate piece in black, dark red, or white. In the second revision (model 1708) the front shell of the controller is a single piece, and the part surrounding the Xbox button now matches the texture and color of the controller. It has been made available in white, black, red, and blue colors, as well as other limited edition colors.<ref name="gamespot-newcontrollercolors">{{cite web|title=Red Xbox One Controller Launching This Month|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/red-xbox-one-controller-launching-this-month/1100-6446582/|website=GameSpot|access-date=May 8, 2017}}</ref>

===Third revision (2020)===
[[File:Xbox Share button.svg|thumb|right|upright=0.5|Share button]]
A third revision of the controller, model 1914, was released in November 2020, bundled with [[Xbox Series X and Series S]], while still backward-compatible with existing Xbox One consoles. It has a refined build with a slightly smaller body, a "Share" button on the center of the controller below the "View" and "Menu" buttons, a circular dished D-pad similar to the [[#Elite Controller|Elite Controller]], and a [[USB-C]] connector instead of USB Micro-B.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/inside-the-new-xbox-series-x-controller-share-butt/1100-6472197/|title=Inside The New Xbox Series X Controller: Share Button & More Changes|website=GameSpot|language=en-US|access-date=2019-12-13}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/12/12/21019908/xbox-series-x-controller-design-features-announced|title=The Xbox Series X controller has a tweaked design and a Share button|last=Byford|first=Sam|date=2019-12-12|website=The Verge|language=en|access-date=2019-12-13}}</ref><ref name="controller redesign">{{cite web | url = https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/03/16/xbox-series-x-controller/ | title = Xbox Series X: Making Gaming’s Best Controller Even Better | first = Will | last = Tuttle | date = March 16, 2020  |access-date = March 16, 2020 | work = Xbox Wire | publisher = [[Microsoft]] }}</ref> The controller also supports [[Bluetooth Low Energy]], and can be paired to a Bluetooth device and an Xbox device simultaneously.<ref name="controller redesign2">{{cite web|last=Tuttle|first=Will|date=March 16, 2020|title=Xbox Series X: Making Gaming's Best Controller Even Better|url=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/03/16/xbox-series-x-controller/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200729010607/https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/03/16/xbox-series-x-controller/|archive-date=July 29, 2020|access-date=March 16, 2020|work=Xbox Wire|publisher=[[Microsoft]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Xbox Support|url=https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/connect-a-wireless-controller|access-date=2021-09-06|website=support.xbox.com}}</ref> The controller also includes Dynamic Latency Input, sending controller information to the console more frequently and in time with the current framerate as to reduce the [[lag (video games)|latency]] between user input and reaction in the game.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.engadget.com/2020-03-16-microsoft-xbox-series-x-controller-details.html | title = Microsoft details its low-latency Xbox Series X controller | first = Igor | last = Bonifac | date = March 16, 2020 | accessdate = September 8, 2021 | work = [[Engadget]] }}</ref> Starting in September 2021 through the Xbox Insider program, Microsoft started rolling out the improved Bluetooth and latency features from these newer controllers to its official Xbox One controllers, including the [[Xbox Adaptive Controller]].<ref>{{cite web | url =  https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-bringing-xbox-series-x-s-controller-features-to-last-gen-controllers-for-xbox-insiders/1100-6496038/ | title = Microsoft Bringing Xbox Series X{{!}}S Controller Features To Last-Gen Controllers For Xbox Insiders | first=  James | last =Carr |date = September 8, 2021 | accessdate = September 8, 2021 | work = [[GameSpot]] }}</ref>

===Fourth revision (2024)===
Internal marketing materials for a fourth controller revision, codenamed "Sebile", were leaked in court documents posted publicly with the 2022 ''[[FTC v. Microsoft]]'' lawsuit. This version will be named the Xbox Universal Controller, and was internally scheduled to launch in May 2024. Sebile's release has likely been delayed, according to official confirmation about "new controller options" coming in "Holiday 2024", meaning the Christmas of 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Xbox |first=Pure |date=2024-02-15 |title=Microsoft Has New Xbox Hardware To Announce For Holiday 2024 |url=https://www.purexbox.com/news/2024/02/microsoft-has-new-xbox-hardware-to-announce-for-holiday-2024 |access-date=2024-02-18 |website=Pure Xbox |language=en-GB}}</ref> The Xbox Universal Controller is equipped with Bluetooth 5.2 and modular thumbsticks.

It is designed to promote sustainable practices by using more recycled materials and supporting easier disassembly and accessibility for repair; it also will include a rechargeable battery that can be removed and replaced.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.eurogamer.net/new-xbox-controller-with-swappable-battery-spotted-in-huge-microsoft-leak |title=New Xbox controller with swappable battery spotted in huge Microsoft leak |first=Liv |last=Ngan |date=19 September 2023 |work=Eurogamer |access-date=8 January 2024}}</ref>

Besides standard colors, "special" and "limited edition" Xbox Wireless Controllers have also been sold by Microsoft with special color and design schemes, sometimes tying into specific games.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.windowscentral.com/xbox-one-controller-list|title=List of all different Xbox One controller styles and colors|publisher=WindowsCentral}}</ref>

===Xbox Design Lab===
On June 13, 2016, Microsoft launched the Xbox Design Lab (XDL) service, initially restricted to the US, which made custom color combinations available for the Xbox One S controller (model 1708) at extra cost. Initially, clients could choose one of fifteen colors for each of five different sections of the controller (body, back, bumpers, triggers, D-pad); one of eight colors for the thumbsticks; five choices for face (ABXY) buttons; and four choices for the View/Menu buttons,<ref name=XDL-2016>{{cite web |url=https://xboxdesignlab.xbox.com/en-US/customize |title=Xbox Design Lab |publisher=Microsoft |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160819060913/https://xboxdesignlab.xbox.com/en-US/customize |archive-date=August 19, 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref> which according to Microsoft, allowed for approximately eight million distinct possible combinations.<ref name="verge-designlab"/><ref name=8million>{{cite news |url=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2016/06/13/eight-million-ways-personalize-xbox-wireless-controller-xbox-design-lab/ |title=Eight Million Ways to Personalize Your Xbox Wireless Controller with Xbox Design Lab |author=Kumar, Navin |date=August 26, 2016 |work=Xbox News |access-date=30 June 2021}}</ref> Additionally, customers could request laser-engraved text up to 16 characters for an additional fee.<ref name="verge-designlab"/><ref name=8million/>

On June 15, 2015, during its [[E3 2015]] press conference, Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller, a new controller which Xbox division head [[Phil Spencer (Microsoft)|Phil Spencer]] described as being "an elite controller for the elite gamer". It features a steel construction with a soft-touch plastic exterior, along with interchangeable rear paddle buttons (with either short or long forms), analog stick tops (original Xbox One stick, a convex dome, and an extended version for increased accuracy), and directional pad designs (either the traditional four-way design, or a concave disc-like design), and "hair trigger locks" for the triggers that allow users to reduce the amount of distance required to register a press. Through software, users can customize button and paddle mappings and adjust the sensitivity of the triggers and analog sticks. Two button profiles can be assigned to a switch on the controller for quick access. The Elite Controller was released on October 27, 2015.<ref name=ars-elitecontroller>{{cite web|title=Microsoft unveils new $150 Xbox One Elite controller—and we’ve held it|url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/06/microsoft-unveils-new-xbox-one-elite-controller-and-weve-held-it/|website=Ars Technica|access-date=June 17, 2015}}</ref><ref name=verge-elitexb1>{{cite web|title=Microsoft's Xbox One Elite Controller could be the ultimate console gamepad|url=https://www.theverge.com/2015/6/15/8783211/microsoft-xbox-one-elite-wireless-controller-announced-e3-2015|website=The Verge|access-date=June 17, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-15-microsoft-introduces-new-modular-xbox-elite-wireless-controller|title=Microsoft Introduce the New Modular Xbox Elite Wireless Controller|author=Martin Robinson|work=[[Eurogamer]]|date=June 16, 2015|access-date=June 21, 2015}}</ref>

===Cosmetic variants===
A special ''[[Gears of War 4]]''-themed limited edition variant of the Elite controller was unveiled during Microsoft's [[E3 2016]] press conference. It features a rustic, dark red color scheme with a blood splatter effect and the series emblem on the rear of the controller, and a D-pad disc with weapon symbols corresponding to the in-game weapons bound to these controls.<ref name="verge-gow4elite">{{cite web|title=Gears of Wars 4 is getting a ridiculously awesome Xbox Elite controller|url=https://www.theverge.com/2016/6/13/11921350/gears-of-war-elite-controller-photos-hand-on-e3-2016 |website=The Verge|publisher=Vox Media|access-date=May 18, 2017}}</ref>

A White Special Edition of the controller was announced on August 29, 2018. Although a revised Elite controller was leaked early in 2018 incorporating functional changes, the White Special Edition was another cosmetic variant of the original Elite.<ref name="verge-robotwhiteelite">{{Cite news|url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/29/17795130/microsoft-xbox-elite-controller-white-edition-features-pricing|title=Microsoft unveils new Xbox Elite controller in robot white|work=The Verge|access-date=2018-08-30}}</ref>

===Series 2===
[[File:Microsoft Elite Controllers- Series 2 (top), original (bottom).jpg|thumb|right|upright|Series 2 (top) and original Elite (bottom) controllers]]
Plans for a revised version of the Elite controller were leaked in January 2018, with a number of new features, including [[USB-C]] connector, and other hardware improvements such as three-level Hair Trigger Locks, adjustable tension for the thumbsticks, revised rubber grips, three user-defined profile settings, and Bluetooth connectivity, which had been introduced with the revised Xbox One S controller in 2016.<ref name="verge-robotwhiteelite"/><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/16/16897402/microsoft-xbox-elite-controller-update-design-features-rumors |title=New Xbox Elite controller revealed in leaked images |last=Warren |first=Tom |date=2018-01-16 |work=[[The Verge]] |access-date=2019-06-14 |df=mdy-all}}</ref>

At [[E3 2019]], Microsoft announced they would begin taking pre-orders for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2; the controller would be available starting on November 4, 2019.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/9/18658852/microsoft-xbox-elite-controller-series-2-usb-c-bluetooth-e3-2019|title=Microsoft's Xbox Elite 2 controller arrives on November 4th for $179.99|last=Warren|first=Tom|date=2019-06-09|work=[[The Verge]]|access-date=2019-06-09|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In general, accessories (such as the thumbsticks and paddles) are not interchangeable between the Series 2 and Series 1 Elite controllers.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://kotaku.com/my-new-xbox-elite-controller-has-a-long-shortcoming-1846524820 |title=My New Xbox Elite Controller Has A Long Shortcoming |author=Plunkett, Luke |date=March 22, 2021 |website=Kotaku |access-date=23 December 2021}}</ref> The case bundled with the Elite 2 included a removable charging dock (model 1924) for the controller's built-in battery and a pass-through to connect a USB-C cable with a port on the dock.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/charge-elite-series-2 |title=Charge your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 |website=Xbox Support |access-date=23 December 2021}}</ref>

Preorders for the Elite Series 2 Core controller were opened in September 2022 at a discounted price; the controller is the same as the Elite Series 2, but the plastic body and buttons of the Core version are white and the Core does not include the interchangeable thumbsticks and paddles accessories. The "Complete Component Pack" can be purchased separately, adding the carrying case, charging dock, and interchangeable accessories, which makes the Core + Component Pack equivalent to the standard Elite Series 2.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/7/23340603/microsoft-xbox-elite-wireless-controller-series-2-core-white-controller-release-date-price |title=Microsoft's new Xbox Elite 2 'Core' controller is more affordable at $129.99 |author=Warren, Tom |date=September 7, 2022 |work=The Verge |access-date=18 October 2022}}</ref> Like the regular Elite 2, the face button centered between the View and Menu buttons is a profile select button, not the Capture/Share button on the standard Xbox Wireless Controller (2020 revision, model 1914).<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/xbox-elite-wireless-controller-series-2-core |title=Xbox Elite Wireless controller Series 2 Core Review |author=Greenwald, Will |date=October 5, 2022 |work=PC Magazine |access-date=18 October 2022}}</ref>

The Xbox One Wired Chat Headset (model 1564) is a single-ear headset with a boom microphone permanently wired to an adapter that plugs into the rectangular expansion port on the bottom edge of the Xbox One controller; it also engages the two round holes flanking the expansion port with plastic alignment prongs for stability. There are three buttons on the adapter, which allow the player to adjust chat volume and mute the microphone.
