Yes, the product page confirms an official Xbox licence for Series X/S. Xbox One is named alongside it in the product details. Check your console is one of those models before paying R649, then confirm the cable reaches your seat.
Yes. The official licence of the PDP REMATCH GLOW Advanced Wired Controller lists Series X|S together with Xbox One. Before you pay R649 at Evetech, check that your console is one of those models and that the 2.4 metre cable reaches your seat. This guide explains what an official licence means for a buyer and how to confirm the pad fits your console in a couple of minutes.
The REMATCH GLOW Blue Tide has an official licence for the Series X|S, with the Xbox One covered too. Check your console model against those two families before you order. The pad carries a 2.4 metre USB-C cable, so confirm the reach as well as the licence. It costs R649 at Evetech.
An official licence means the controller was made under the console maker's terms for that console family. For a buyer, the practical meaning is simple: the pad is built to work with the consoles it names, and you do not have to guess whether a generic pad will behave. The licence is the first thing to check, and it should be read against the model of the console in your home. A licence covers 2 console families here: Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The licence covers the console family, not the cable, so check the 2.4 metre lead separately.
A licence confirms the family, not the cable length or the feature set. You still have to match the pad to your room and to the features you need.
Find your console model before you shop. The model is printed on the console and shown in its system settings. Note it down, then set it against the families the pad is licensed for. A console from the Series X|S or Xbox One family matches. Check the model number against the 2 licensed families before you pay R649.
Be careful with near matches. Check the family itself rather than the colour, the edition or the name on the box, because those do not decide compatibility.
Once the licence is confirmed, look at the rest of the pad's features. That is a 2.4 metre USB-C cable plus two programmable back buttons and a 3.5 mm jack for headsets. Those three details decide whether the pad fits your games and your room.
The cable is the one most often overlooked. A licensed pad with a lead that does not reach your seat is still the wrong pad for that room. Allow about 40 centimetres of slack on top of the measured route from the console port to your seat.
Write the console model and the cable measurement on one note. If the model matches a licensed family and the lead reaches the seat, you can order with confidence. If either check fails, move the console closer, or choose a different pad before the parcel arrives.
Browse gaming controllers to compare licensed pads on Evetech, and look at the Xbox headsets range if you plan to chat through the pad's jack.

Word typing overwrites text when overtype mode replaces characters at the insertion point. Turn off overtype and its Insert-key control in Word options, then test on a spare line before editing the document again.

Open Google Earth Pro on a Windows PC and press Ctrl+Alt+A to fly an F-16 or SR22 over real terrain. Keyboard flying over Table Mountain is a fun taster, and a USB stick like the R3,999 Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick is where proper sims begin.
Yes for clips, trim, mounts and brackets, but never for brakes, steering or seatbelts. A parked car in a South African summer gets hot enough to soften PLA, so PETG from R219 a spool or ABS at R299 is the safer choice for anything that lives inside the cabin.
An extender fixes weak WiFi on a Vuma line only when a room or two sits just past the router's reach. Vuma runs the fibre but your ISP supplies the router, and a R919 TP-Link RE450 suits a small gap, while brick double-storeys need mesh or a cabled access point.
A 2700RPM pump spins its impeller 2700 times a minute to push coolant round the loop. Faster flow moves heat from the CPU block to the radiator, though a quicker pump can be a little louder. The Antec Omni Matrix 360 at R999 pairs it with an ARGB head.
Plug the three pre-connected 120mm fans into one PWM fan header, since they run from a single cable. If the lighting has its own lead, send it to the addressable header, usually labelled ARGB. Evetech's Omni Matrix 360 at R999 follows that same plan.
Compatibility starts with your motherboard socket. The Antec Omni Matrix 360 covers LGA 1851 and LGA 1700 sockets, as well as AM5 and AM4. Confirm the socket name before you open the box, since the mounting hardware differs between platforms.
An air cooler mounts a heatsink and fan directly on the CPU, so it has no pump to hear. A 360mm AIO moves heat to a radiator on the case, which frees space around the socket. The Antec Omni Matrix 360 at R999 suits builders who have the radiator room.
