You can also connect the controller via a USB cable (USB-C or micro-USB, depending on the controller) to pair it with your system and reduce latency. The only real difference between the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S controllers is that the Xbox One controller has a micro-USB port, while the Series X or S controller has a USB-C port.
