    Xbox Core Controller

    Xbox One

    The Xbox Wireless Controller in Carbon Black is Microsoft's tried-and-tested gamepad refined for modern play. Sculpted to fit naturally in your hands with refined geometry and textured grip on the triggers, bumpers, and back case, it's built for long sessions without fatigue. The hybrid D-pad delivers precise, familiar inputs while the dedicated Share button lets you capture screenshots and clips on the fly. USB-C connectivity means no awkward cables, battery life stretches up to 40 hours on standard AAs, and a 3.5mm headset jack lets any compatible headset plug straight in. Whether you're on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, a Windows PC, or Android, it pairs in seconds — and the Xbox Accessories app lets you remap buttons your way without any third-party software.
