The third revision of the classic Xbox Wireless Controller was released in November 2020, bundled with the Xbox Series X and Series S. This controller is backwards compatible with previous Xbox One consoles, and PCs.

Could you help me with a damaged internal cable?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to repair my Xbox Series S controller and I accidentally damaged one of the internal black cables.
There are two of them inside the controller—each is a small round black wire that connects two internal PCBs. One end of the cable is soldered directly to a PCB, and the other end has a tiny round plug that connects to the second board (it can be detached).

I’d like to:

  1. Identify what kind of cable this is exactly.
  2. Know whether it’s a standard type of wire that I can buy online (AliExpress, etc.).
  3. Understand if it’s safe and feasible to replace it myself, and if so, what specs (gauge, type, etc.) I should look for.

I’ve tried searching for replacement parts but haven’t found anything conclusive. If anyone knows exactly what this cable is used for, or has a link to a compatible replacement, I’d be really grateful.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the antenna cable for the wireless signal.
