Dust, dirt, and grime can clog your controller\u2019s joysticks and buttons, preventing them from reliably returning to their normal position. We recommend using a cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water for quick and easy cleaning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long does the battery on a wireless Xbox controller last?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While it depends on the controller, a good battery should last around 30 hours on a single charge. However, your controller\u2019s battery life may be significantly shorter if you have a headset plugged in. We recommend manually turning off your controller when not in use to reduce how often you need to charge it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For When choosing our favorite Xbox controllers, we looked for ones that have cool features to aid your gameplay, are sensitive to pick up your slightest movements, and are a great value for their price.
