The Xbox Wireless Controller is a game controller released by Microsoft on November 22, 2013. It was released alongside the Xbox One.
While the controller layout was largely unchanged from that of its predecessor, the new controller has one unique feature called Impulse Triggers, in which each trigger has their own rumble motor. There is an expansion port on the bottom of the controller for expandability.
The launch model that was released alongside the Xbox One console was known as Model 1537. On June 9, 2015, Microsoft unveiled the Model 1697, which added a 3.5mm audio jack and the ability to do firmware updates wirelessly. The next model, Model 1708, was released on August 2, 2016 alongside the Xbox One S console; this model added Bluetooth connectivity. The fourth and current model, Model 1914, was released on November 10, 2020 alongside the Xbox Series X|S; This model has a flat concave D-pad, an additional "Share" button, and the change from Micro-USB to USB-C.
The controllers also have pro-orientated models, known as the Elite controllers. So far, Microsoft has released Series 1 (Model 1698) and Series 2 (Model 1797).
All models of the Xbox Wireless Controller are native XInput controllers, meaning that they are supported in games that use the XInput API. Select games can support the controllers' Impulse Triggers feature. While all models support a wired connection via either Micro-USB or USB-C, wireless connections vary between models: Model 1537 and Model 1697 only support wireless through the use of Wireless Adapters[1], while Model 1708 and Model 1914 support Bluetooth connectivity on top of that. Third party attachments can provide gyroscope support. Playing games that only use DirectInput API require the use of wrappers that transcode the XInput inputs into DirectInput inputs.

- Some XInput supported games may not work correctly with the Xbox One controller. Refer to the individual game pages for details.
Impulse Trigger Vibration
For a list of games, see List of games that support Xbox One impulse triggers.
- The impulse triggers of the controller are two independent rumble motors located within each of the triggers, allowing developers to selectively vibrate the trigger when the player is performing an action that warrants such a feedback, such as firing a gun or charging an attack.
- The XInput API does not expose this functionality. Games making use of the rumble motors uses the Windows.Gaming.Input API instead.
- There is no available application which translates adaptive triggers haptic feedback signals into basic impulse trigger vibration.
- The third-party DLL injection-based tool X1nput can be used to convert the normal vibrations of a game to impulse trigger vibration in many single player games.
Games with Impulse Trigger Vibration support
- Total number of games: 82.
- Number of games which Impulse Trigger Vibration is limited and feature support is still not a PC standard.
- Games with DualSense's Adaptive Triggers support are mostly not compatible with Impulse Triggers and there is no application which translates both signals into one standard.
