What makes an accessory compatible with Xbox and PC?

A question that often pops up, particularly when we're talking about Xbox controllers or looking for the best Xbox headsets, is what exactly makes an accessory compatible with Xbox — and conversely, what renders it incompatible?

Believe me, I've been there, snagging what seemed like an incredible deal, only to discover that the sweet Razer headset I had my eye on was tailored for Playstation, or that fancy controller with those elusive Hall Effect sticks seemed to sync up with every gadget under the sun except my beloved Xbox console (I'm giving you the side-eye, GameSir T4 Kaleid). The good news is that the vast majority of Xbox accessories are compatible with a Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows 11 PC. Some accessories may require an Xbox wireless USB dongle to work on your PC, but they're incredibly cheap.

Why don't some of them work on other console platforms, though? Well, it all boils down to the nitty-gritty of technical compatibility with Xbox, and it mainly hinges on its proprietary wireless signal. It's also why you won't stumble upon many third-party wireless controllers designed explicitly for Xbox and Windows PC. Outside of Razer and the PowerA MOGA XP-Ultra, you won't find any. It's important that you only purchase officially licensed accessories as from November onwards, unofficial accessories will not work.

Playstation consoles use Bluetooth as their standard wireless connectivity, which results in a broader spectrum of deals and accessory options. Xbox, on the other hand, dances to its own tune, employing a unique signal reminiscent of Wi-Fi. So, accessories designed exclusively for Xbox leverage this signal, while those advertised as "compatible with multiple devices" usually include a special adapter or dongle to bridge the compatibility gap with Xbox.

Xbox and Playstation play by different rules in the audio department, too. Playstation supports virtual surround sound in its accessories, while Xbox boasts its audio features like Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and STS-X. These features rely on distinct software and hardware setups, making it challenging for brands to create universal compatibility and often leading them to craft separate editions for each console.

The key takeaway? Always double-check an accessory's compatibility before hitting that purchase button. Don't be lured by phrases like "Xbox layout" — they don't always translate to actual Xbox compatibility. Better yet, keep a close eye on our deals page because we've got the lowdown on what's a true blue (or should that be green?) Xbox match and what's not. We've got your back when it comes to accessorizing your Xbox console.

What is Cyber Monday?

The official Cyber Monday always falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving, which this year is Monday, November 27, 2023. The online shopping event offers a way for smaller retail websites to compete with larger chains and has become one of the biggest online shopping days of the year. Cyber Monday was coined in 2005, based on the observation that millions of Americans were returning to high-speed Internet connections at work on the Monday after Thanksgiving and buying what they liked online.

However, the concept of Cyber Monday has changed as the years have passed, as many in-store deals for Black Friday are now available online throughout the sales period, retailers still use this day as an opportunity to 'go out with a bang' though and offer slightly different deals, or extend the original Black Friday deals to. It's the official last day of the holiday sales period, so if there's anything you have been holding back on — Cyber Monday is the last day to get your discounts prior to the next holiday.

While it’s tempting to believe that the best deals are exclusive to the official Cyber Monday, it’s crucial to remain vigilant. Some retailers may inflate prices before the sales, or they may simply recycle the same deals for an extended period.

Rest assured, we are keeping a watchful eye on these practices and will only recommend exceptional prices on top-notch Xbox accessories. So, stay tuned for the best deals.
