Topic: xbox one controller pairing issue

We recently helped our daughter move from college to back home for the summer. During the move, her (original) xbox one somehow lost its left side panel where the pairing button is. We are now trying to pair a wireless controller, but unable to since this panel is missing.

Is there another way to pair a wireless controller? if so, how?

@mcf57 As far as I know you need the button for a wireless controller. Some 3rd party ones you can use a cable but Xbox controllers don't use a charging cable. The only other thing I can think of if you can't find the panel after searching all her boxes and stuff is maybe contact MS about a replacement panel or looking for a local used game store and buying a panel from them.

Well, plugging the wireless controller to the back USB port of the Xbox one worked great. It paired up right away. I didn’t realize it was that easy. Thanks
