Xbox 360 Accessories

The Xbox 360 has two types of controllers that can be used with the system. You can choose between the the wired, or the more preferred wireless. The wired offers you the comfort of never having to change or charge the battery. But the wireless offers you range, and keeps you from having to deal with messy wires. Always keep your controllers clean and put away so that wondering feet will not crush them. For the wired controller, try to keep your wires as untangled as possible and keep them wrapped around the controller when not in use. Also, when using the wired, remember, you can only have two wired controllers plugged in at the same time. For the wireless, I suggest buying the Play and Charge kits unless you want keep replacing batteries. Only charge your controllers when you're playing, because leaving them on the charge for too long will overheat and eventually ruin the battery. For both controllers, don't mash the buttons to hard, keep the joysticks pressed in any direction for too long, or, as common knowledge would suggest, do not drop the controllers. The controllers aren't what I would call fragile, but the equipment inside can get jostled easily. Other than that, the controllers don't need much maintenance. As I have said, I recommend the wireless, because they give the ability to get a little farther away, maybe to a more comfortable spot. And for Xbox Live they are keen, because you can get up and walk around with your headset, so you can go fix yourself a drink or get snack, and not miss the conversation.  Controllers are an essential Xbox 360 accessory.
