The best Xbox Series X accessories

polygon.com:

The $499.99 Xbox Series X and its smaller sibling, the $299.99 Series S, are both awesome consoles in their own right, with access to the best Xbox Game Pass games if you have a subscription. But there are a bunch of accessories out there that can elevate your fun, or just give your setup a more personal touch.

We’ve pulled together a bunch of our favorite ones below. Most of them are supplemental to the gaming experience, although some might be essential to you, like the Seagate storage expansion card so you can download more games, or a headset for chatting with friends or family. This post may be updated due to availability, or when new or noteworthy accessories hit the market.

The Xbox Series X includes one black wireless controller, so you might need a second one if you have more than one gamer in your house, or if you just want one in a different color. Thankfully, Microsoft’s Xbox wireless controllers are relatively inexpensive, considering how feature-packed they are. Some colors of the Xbox wireless controller are pricier than others, although many of them commonly sell for under $50. Just be sure to buy some backup AA batteries to go along with it, or a recharging kit and dock.

Investing in a rechargeable controller kit provides you with a convenient way to keep your controllers topped off without spending a mint on disposable batteries. It’s also more convenient than swapping and charging rechargeable batteries. Our favorite is the $45 8BitDo dual charging dock, which comes packaged with a pair of rechargeable battery packs. Once those are installed, it can charge two controllers at once — and looks pretty slick doing it.
