Charge your Xbox 360 wireless controller via USB while you play
- dead controller batteries mid-game
- need for spare battery packs
- tangled or missing charging cable
Keep your Xbox 360 controller charged while you play
Dead batteries shouldn't end your session. Plug in a USB cable and your wireless controller stays ready from the first match to the last.
Simple cable, plenty of play time
- Power from USB while you play
The USB-A plug goes into your console or a USB port, and the other end goes into the controller. The controller charges while the game keeps running, so you do not have to pause for a battery swap.
- Clean signal with a ferrite bead
A ferrite bead sits near the controller end and filters electrical noise on the cable. The rectangular connector has rubber strain relief, so a bump during a tense match is less likely to pull the plug loose.
Plug in and keep playing
- 1Plug the USB-A end into power
Use a free port on your Xbox 360 console or a USB wall or power port.
- 2Connect the controller end
Push the rectangular connector into the charging port on your wireless controller until it sits firmly.
- 3Keep playing
The controller charges while it stays connected. Unplug by holding the plug housing, not the wire.

Questions and answers
Yes. It is built for the Xbox 360 wireless controller, with a rectangular connector on the controller end and a USB-A plug on the other side. Check that your controller uses the same charging port shape before you order.
The cable has a ferrite bead for noise filtering and rubber strain relief at the connector, which are the parts that matter most for everyday use. Plug it into a powered USB port and avoid bending it sharply at the connector. Stop using it if the jacket cracks or the plug gets hot.
The listing does not publish a charge rate. In practice it tops the controller up during a session, which is what most players need between matches. If you want a full charge from empty, leave it plugged in for a longer break.
Yes. The USB-A plug fits any USB port that has power, including a wall adapter or a computer port. The controller only charges while the port is powered on.
For most players, yes. Keep one charged controller plugged in between sessions and you stop buying battery packs. Repeated AA purchases add up over a year, while this cable is a one-time buy that you can keep in the same spot.
