Regular controllers on the One S?[edit]

Can anyone confirm whether the Xbox One S can take regular Xbox One controllers? --uKER (talk) 08:35, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Missing "Reception" chapter[edit]

As for the Xbox 360 controller, such a chapter would be welcome Marc Dequènes (Duck) (talk) 16:04, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted edit[edit]

I had this edit reverted, but I didn't understand the reasons described by the edit summary. The issues with the current text that motivated my edit are that 1) There's no need to to put a partial list of specific changes in the variations in the lead. In any case, the jack in later revisions is a headset jack, not just a "microphone port". 2) Saying the Elite version has "finer customization features" is unnecesarily vague and wordy when you can just say the thing is programmable. 3) Putting the mention of the color schemes after the mention of the Elite controller makes it clear that the Elite itself has also been offered in various color schemes, which isn't readily evident otherwise. I think it's in everyone's best interest if we can work together towards a better version of the text, instead of just reverting to our own version of it. Cheers. --uKER (talk) 16:23, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Interchangeable parts is not "programming". Plus, per WP:LEAD, all key points of the article must be summarized. ViperSnake151  Talk  16:47, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Precisely, I didn't remove the mention of interchangeable parts. What I did remove, as I said before, was the "finer customization features" phrase, which strikes me as needlessly vague and meaningless, and by which I guess you were referring to the programmability feature. And about the summarization in the lead, I do agree, and that's what is being done by mentioning that the revisions introduced "varying changes to the controller's design and functionality". I don't think a quasi-complete list of the changes is needed there. Lastly, you didn't reply to the third point about the current wording not suggesting the Elite had several color schemes too. --uKER (talk) 18:37, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

Shouldn't the 'C' in "Controller" in the title be lower cased similar to Xbox 360 controller? Xbox Controller's is also capitalized so perhaps Xbox 360 controller needs to change, but the pages should all be consistent. --69.204.137.44 (talk) 22:00, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to "Xbox One Wireless Controller"[edit]

I believe this article should be renamed as to make it clear this controller is for the Xbox One specifically and to prevent confusion with a possible wireless controller for the ORIGINAL Xbox which was just named "Xbox" I know the original console never had an official wireless controller but third parties did make some such as this one.

November 2021 update[edit]

This month (November 2021), there was an update for the 1st controller. I know this because the controller is updating screen showed up on our Xbox One S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.103.248 (talk) 13:28, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative version of the color table, which is longer but more clearly shows which colors were available at each milestone date. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 19:19, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stereo Headset Adapter section, 2.5mm audio jack[edit]

Where did this info come from? The Model 1537 controller doesn't have a 2.5mm jack. Has this been confused with the Xbox 360 controller? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.175.74.86 (talk) 05:34, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Was about to say something similar, the original 1537 wireless controller has no audio jack whatsoever, and as such it's impossible to use voice chat or hear ingame audio via the controller without the headset adapter (which tends to be so expensive it's more cost effective to get a newer generation controller, but that's beside the point). And yes, someone seems to have confused this with the Xbox 360 controller, as those do indeed have a TRS 2.5mm jack on all of them for mono audio and mic (both on wired and wireless versions). Would be nice if people who don't have a clue about the topic don't write articles, but then again it's wikipedia... it's full of BS like this.

Why is the Xbox Wireless adapter a Wi-Fi dongle?[edit]

I haven't been able to get any good sources on this matter. I know first hand that the Xbox One wireless receiver is detected in Windows as a Wi-Fi adapter, and as such has TCP/IP settings. I read somewhere that TCP/IP was used for the earliest Xbox One controllers and the newer ones moved on to a closed protocol. Does anyone have any reliable take on this? uKER (talk) 03:41, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
