Had a quick Google and it appears they only made hard-wired ones for retailers (to stop people nicking them). Oldish articles tho, cant find any up to date info.

I spent a lot of time looking and got nowhere. My Grandson keeps damaging the micro usb port on the controller, hence why I wanted a hard wired one.

Im surprised they dont seem to make them, youd think a lot of people would buy them for that reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ghozer   112 #9 Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) 95% of the 'Wired' ones are removable, as with the 360 controllers if the cable was damaged the whole controller was thrown away, Where-as with the new ones you only need to replace the cable... But I have a PowerA one purchased from Game, that is hard wired... however this is hard wired..https://www.game.co.uk/en/xbox-one-licensed-spectra-illuminated-controller-303602 (though wouldn't recommend for the price)  Edited August 27, 2019 by Ghozer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

But when its plugged in its hard wired and not wireless? TBH I just cant see the problem...  Unfortunately they all come that way now for easy packing and transportation.
