Is a wired xbox controller good?
We like the PowerA wired controller as a good, inexpensive option when you need an extra Xbox controller for guests or one to use while your wireless controller charges. There are two extra buttons on the bottom of the controller that can be mapped on the fly as well as a 3.5mm jack on the front for a headset.

The controller can be plugged in indefinitely if you prefer to play with a wired connection. This won't affect your battery even if it's at 100%. We recommend charging your controller from an Xbox console or PC only.
