If you have access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, you probably have an Xbox system, which means you already have an Xbox controller. Any Version 2 Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth will pair wirelessly with everything from iPhones to iPads to Macs. You could also go the wired route with a Mac by plugging the controller into a USB port. Microsoft does sell a controller with a USB-C cable, so you can connect to the USB-C port on various devices, including USB-C-equipped Macs. (Make sure to update to the latest firmware on your Xbox controller.) This Bluetooth controller helps you stay on target with the new hybrid D-pad and textured grip on the triggers, and easily pair and switch between devices.

The controller is compatible with Android devices and Windows PCs. It's arguably the best value when it comes to Xbox Cloud Gaming accessories for your Android phone. It's on Microsoft's list of officially supported gaming controllers and it looks and feels like a cheaper version of an Xbox controller.

The PowerA MOGA XP5-X Plus is listed above, but you can also just buy the PowerA MOGA Mobile Gaming Clip 2.0 separately if you already have an Xbox wireless controller and want to mount your phone on it. I listed it as a good value clip for iPhones, but it works just as well with Android devices.

Our sources indicate that Microsoft is lifting restrictions on the ability for third-party hardware manufacturers to build wireless accessories for Xbox Series X|S devices. Indeed, this year we saw the PowerA MOGA XP-Ultra launch, which is among the first official third-party wireless controllers that isn't simply a re-skinned Xbox standard controller, or a patent holder such as some of SCUF's accessories.

As long as you're using a product from manufacturers that have officially paid for the Xbox license, you should be in the clear. Brands like SCUF, Turtle Beach, Razer, and others featured on our Best Xbox Headsets and Best Xbox Controllers lists fall under this category and won't be affected by the recent change. Wireless headsets already need a security chip approved by Microsoft to incorporate wirelessness on Xbox, but it seems this is now being extended more broadly to controllers and similar accessories too. Generic mice and keyboards for Xbox will be unaffected for games that support them, and USB HDDs and SSDs will be unaffected too, such as those from our Best Xbox external SSDs and HDDs article.

The problem seems to revolve around gamepad and input brands that haven't acquired this licensing but still market their products as compatible with Xbox. It appears that Microsoft is actively blocking these items.

Windows Central has reached out to Microsoft for comment on the decision.

While PS3 and Wii wireless controllers use Bluetooth for connectivity (and can be used with Bluetooth-equipped personal computers with appropriate software), Xbox 360 wireless accessories communicate over a proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol. In order to accommodate this, Microsoft released the Wireless Gaming Receiver (sold as "Crossfire Wireless Gaming Receiver" in the UK), which allows wireless Xbox 360 accessories to be used on a Windows-based PC.[3] Most Xbox 360 wireless accessories are supported, including standard controllers, racing wheels (without force-feedback), headsets and guitar controllers. The adapter was first revealed at E3 2006 and released on February 16, 2007.

The device acts in a similar manner to an Xbox 360, allowing up to 4 controllers and 4 headsets at a time to be connected to the receiver. The device has a 30-foot (10 meter) range and a six-foot (2 meter) USB cable.[4] It is specifically designed to work with games bearing the "Games for Windows" logo, but will function with most games that permit a standard PC gamepad. The official Xbox website noted that the adapter will work with "all future wireless devices".[5] However, it is worth noting that the racing wheel does not currently have force feedback support.

The Big Button Pads use an external IR receiver that connects to the Xbox 360 via USB. When the IR receiver is connected all four quadrants on the 'ring of light' are lit to tell the user that four controller devices are active. These Big Button Pads can be used at the same time as the wired and wireless gamepads and the wireless headsets.

At present, the vast majority of third-party controllers for Xbox consoles are wired, although the first wave of official third-party wireless devices was released earlier this year. Even headsets are only able to work with Xbox if they receive approval and a special security chip from Microsoft.

Windows Central has been told Microsoft now has an approval process for official third-party wireless controllers, and the new restrictions are likely to prevent unapproved devices from taking advantage.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories software works with both wired and wireless game controllers. The accessory status indicator shows the battery status (for wireless devices) and the assigned quadrants of the connected controllers.

To view your controller quadrant and battery status on the screen, press the Xbox Guide button.
