As it’s a wired controller, the cable is a key part. The included cable is three meters, or nine feet nine inches, long which is more than enough to trail across the average living room. It plugs into the back of the controller itself via a USB Type-C port, which is in the same location the cable from an older wired controller would go, and also close to the location where a USB cable plugs into an official Xbox controller. The other end of the cable is USB-A and can fit into the front of your Xbox and most PC USB ports.
The issue I have isn’t with the cable itself, it’s a pretty good cable. It’s braided and seems to be of decent quality. My issue is with the port it plugs into. The main benefit of a detachable USB cable is the ability to swap it out. As far as parts becoming damaged goes, cables are high up on the list. A detachable cable means you can just replace it with something you have, or buy a relatively cheap, common, part, and your controller is good to continue.
Unfortunately, Gamesir has made the plastic hole around the port so narrow, that only their particular cable seems to fit. I have an apartment full of USB Type-C cables, and none of them fit into this controller. I know having a tight fit in this area reinforces what is a delicate part of the cable, but they could have made the gap a bit bigger and allowed for easy replacement.
Editor’s Note: It’s important to acknowledge that GameSir is not alone in this practice. Razer has also been known to make gaming peripherals — like mice — have a USB port space that’s shaped to fit its own USB cord, exclusively. They may have their reasons, but their reasons aren’t always the most friendly to real-world users.
