Whether you're more of a PlayStation or an Xbox person, there are a lot of accessories that can help the console function better, or help you use them in the most convenient way. Here are a couple of items you might want to add to your Xbox Series X setup.
1. Charging Station and Batteries
Given that the recent Xbox controllers are wireless, they require a battery to run. That means that you will have to recharge it and won't be able to play at the time being. With these rechargeable batteries, you can play as long as you like.
It also comes with a charging station that can hold up to four batteries at a time. The four batteries that come with the package can last up to 3000 cycles, with each battery only taking three to three and a half hours to fully charge.
2. Dust Plugs and Filters
Dust is the enemy when it comes to consoles. They can get into all the holes and crevices of the device, and build-up will lead to your console overheating or even being damaged. With plugs and filters to cover the ports, you can lessen the amount of dust you have to clean off.
There are eight plugs that cover the storage expansion port, the power port, HMDI, LAN, the game disc port, and three USB ports. It also comes with PVC mesh filters for the vents, so that you won't have to sacrifice proper ventilation by keeping your vents dust-free.
3. Media Remote
One of the best things about consoles is that they can also be media centers. You can access streaming apps like YouTube or Netflix. However, if you don't want to use up your controller's battery when you're not playing a game, you can purchase a media remote instead.
It has everything you will need when navigating through the apps and the console for media such as the button for volume, arrows, play, return, mute, and others. It even includes the X, Y, A, and B buttons.

4. USB Port Expansion
The Xbox Series X has three ports overall, one in the front and two in the back. However, that might not be enough if you want to connect various devices such as speakers, controllers, keyboards, chargers, and more.
With the USB expansion and splitter, you will have four more USB 2.0 ports, three if you wound the built-in USB port you'll plug the accessory into. It supports high synchronization data, which means it can transfer data in a matter of seconds.
5. Cooling Stand
If you live in a warmer climate, you might need the extra cooling help from another device to make sure your console doesn't overheat. It can greatly improve your gameplay and avoid irreparable damage sustained from high temperatures.
The cooling stand comes with an RGB light and a fan has level speeds such as 1,800, 1,900, and 2,000 RPM. It already comes with dust filters and port covers as well, so if you plan on buying this, you won't have the second product on this list.
