So i've been searching and i found that you can't connect your regular xbox one controller to my pc using the Charge and play kit. since the cable only provides power and no data transfer.

So i bought a "wired" xbox one controller for 60 dollars(regular is 50) and found out its pretty much the same controller with a standard micro usb cable.

So my question is. Next time can i just buy a regular xbox one controller, which saves me a lot of money, and use my cellphone's micro usb cable to connect it to my pc?
