Xbox Wireless Controller with Play and Charge Kit, Carbon Black

The Xbox Wireless Controller bundled with the official Play and Charge Kit means you get the controller and the rechargeable battery solution together — no AA batteries to buy, no running out mid-session, and no separate order to get set up properly. Everything to play wirelessly and recharge while you play, in one box, in Carbon Black.

The Carbon Black Xbox Wireless Controller is the standard current-generation gamepad. The hybrid D-pad uses a faceted click-switch design that sharpens diagonal input accuracy — noticeable in fighting games and platformers where missed diagonals cost you. Textured micro-dot grips on the triggers, bumpers, and rear case prevent slipping during long or intense sessions. The dedicated Share button captures a screenshot or clips a video with one press. The 3.5mm stereo jack at the base takes any standard headset directly. Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth connectivity covers Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, Mac, Android, and iOS without re-pairing when you switch devices.

The included Play and Charge Kit replaces the AA battery compartment with a 1400mAh lithium-ion rechargeable cell. The 2.7m USB-C cable handles both charging and, when needed, wired PC data connection. Pass-through charging means you plug in and keep playing wirelessly while the battery tops up — no interruption to the session. A full charge from flat takes under four hours and delivers up to 30 hours of continuous wireless play, which covers most gaming weekends without needing to stop. Battery status shows natively on the Xbox dashboard and Guide menu so you always know where you stand.

The controller you need, with the charging solution that removes the one recurring frustration of AA-powered controllers. Order now and get free delivery to your door anywhere in South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this bundle and the standalone Xbox Play and Charge Kit?

This bundle includes both the Xbox Wireless Controller and the Play and Charge Kit together. The standalone Play and Charge Kit (sold separately) only includes the rechargeable battery and USB-C cable — it’s designed for people who already have a controller and just want to upgrade from AA batteries. If you need a new controller and the rechargeable solution, this bundle is the more economical option than buying both separately.

Is there a Robot White version of this bundle?

Yes. The “-W” variant (Robot White) is available at the same price point from select retailers. Check the Daily Discounts catalogue for current stock on the white colourway if you prefer that finish.

Does Daily Discounts deliver gaming accessories nationwide?

Yes. Daily Discounts delivers to all major South African cities and surrounding areas via courier, with delivery typically taking 3 to 5 working days from order confirmation. WhatsApp us on +27 63 727 0275 before you order if you want to confirm delivery to your specific area first.
