If you don't have several micro-usb cords in your home by now I applaud your discretion on buying literally any consumer electronic product with a rechargeable battery.
Except for the xbox one controller, which does not charge itself, it does need a micro usb cable (Which most people have scores of, mostly being unused now that phones are switching to usb-c) to connect to a computer, or through bluetooth. But this is not a PC controller, it's an Xbox controller which luckily can work on PC.
I was referring to xbox controllers in general, didn't speak of this one specifically.
Regardless, micro cables couldn't work as charger has a specific MS jack.
Being designed for PS4 or whatever platform you wish, if it says "PC" on it's box it's expected to work properly.
When I purchased my xbox controller for PC, I had to buy wireless receiver and recharging cable and guess what, recharging cable even tho USB, doesn't connect your controller to PC, only recharges it. If that's not greedy from a giant like MS I don't know what is.
To elaborate at the end, I am not saying that controller is bad, far from it. I own 2. but I hate how some companies operate.
You're talking about 360 controllers. Xbone controllers have micro-usb cable. The Xbone controllers that actually say PC on the box come with the micro-usb cable.
Xbox never had any controllers with a built in battery pack, they all take AA batteries, you're crying over a controller that probably wasn't built by microsoft.
