Generic photos Ergonomic and functional: these are the two adjectives with which Xbox users describe always the various versions of the pads. But with the new Xbox Wireless Controller, the Xbox division has raised the bar for quality even higher! The new Xbox Series X pad has a smaller body than the Xbox One pad, but features features such as textured surfaces on the back and back, a totally revised vibration system and a USB Type-C input for charging. Additionally, Impulse Triggers increase player immersion. A second pad for your new next-gen console, if you often play split-screen, is a more than recommended purchase.SEE ON AMAZON SEE ON EBAY
Memory expansion
Xbox Series X is equipped with a 1TB SSD with slightly more effective available space to 800GB, a more than adequate space, but which could be expanded for all those users who like to install a large library. The situation is quite different on the Xbox Series S equipped with a 512GB SSD, but with 364GB effective space. However, such a small space can be enhanced thanks to the official 1TB expansive SSD by Seagate. The price is justified by the fact that it supports all the features of the new Microsoft consoles and, moreover, it is a small card that will disappear in the appropriate slot… the space on your desk is saved!SEE ON AMAZON SEE ON EBAY
Batteries and chargers
The battery compartment of the Xbox controller is considered by many to be a limitation, but it actually offers a choice. Around the marketplaces it is chock full of alternative solutions and, precisely for this reason, it is not difficult to run into a defective or easily worn out product (which is not good for delicate objects such as batteries). Therefore, we can only advise you to buy the Duracell quick charger (recharges your NiMH batteries in 45 minutes) with 4 batteries included, 2 AA and 2 AAA. In the compartment you can recharge up to four AAA or AA batteries, or 2 AA and 2 AAA. We also advise you to read the instructions carefully.SEE ON AMAZON SEE ON EBAY

Xbox Series: versions and cost
One aspect to take into consideration when choosing the best accessories for the Xbox Series is that there are two different latest generation consoles from Microsoft: Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. As indeed also for PlayStation 5, therefore, there are two gaming platforms that landed on the market just over two years ago. Xbox Series X, the best performing sold for 499 euros, is equipped with a Blu-Ray player and was designed with 4K in mind, while the small but still powerful Xbox Series S is sold for 299 euros and does not have a Blu-Ray player Ray and gives its best in Full HD or Quad HD. In any case, do not be frightened by this abyss in price: any game between now and the end of the generation that will be playable on Xbox Series X will also be playable with Xbox Series S, although as easily imaginable given the lack of player on Series S titles on disc they will only be usable on Xbox Series X.But how to distinguish Xbox Series X from Xbox Series S? Fortunately it is very easy: in addition to costing half, Xbox Series S has in fact a completely different shape compared to its older sister and is a small and cute white parallelepiped, with a large black grid on top. Xbox Series X instead has more squared shapes and a black color, resembling a small but imposing monolith. Series X, as previously mentioned, also has a Blu-Ray player unlike Series S. Finally, although both are compatible with all Xbox Series games, Xbox Series X is decidedly more powerful on a technical level than Xbox Series S, often and willingly providing greater quality and graphic solidity. If you still miss the console you can find it on Amazon, both Xbox Series X and its younger sister. You may perhaps find them temporarily unavailable, but in this case it will be enough to wait a few days to be able to purchase them again.
As for the best accessories for Xbox Series X and S, it is important to underline how the difference between the two consoles is in the in most cases irrelevant, given that cables and devices are in most cases compatible with both. But be careful if you want to buy something related to the Blu-Ray player, since Series S does not have one, or products designed exclusively for a single console. The skins that we have proposed above, in fact, must be purchased for the console in your possession, given that Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S have different shapes and sizes.
