Microsoft's fourth-generation Xbox controller (Model 1914) launched alongside the Xbox Series X/S, replacing the prior Micro-USB charge port with USB-C and adding a dedicated Share button. The controller ships AA-battery powered out of the box, with the Xbox Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable Kit sold separately — every USB-C PD charger or generic USB-A-to-C cable will charge it. A 3.5mm TRRS headset jack on the bottom edge handles wired chat audio, and Bluetooth Low Energy pairs it to PCs, phones, and Apple TV alongside the proprietary Xbox Wireless protocol.
Microsoft’s 2020 Xbox controller with USB-C charging, 3.5mm headset jack, AA batteries, Xbox Wireless + Bluetooth LE.
