Will any other console power cord work with the xbox one? Out of a Wii, GCN, PS3, and Switch

Depends which type of power cord they use. PS4 and XONE are compatible (PS3 is also compatible)

Question: doesn't our XBoxOne units have a proprietary power brick?  Your question sparked my curiosity.  Are you trying to replace just the cable or the entire assembly (plug --- cable ---- transformer-control-housing ---- cable ------ prong ----- console ).

 

I'm avoiding marking... so I hit the ifixit dot com site!  XBox One Power Supply... ...click here... .  If your console's the S-version, how about this.... click here.

Good luck with your kludging, Vladonizer.  Great user name, btw.  Cheers from Canada, eh.

Thanks for complimenting my username, I have used it for years. What happened is I got a original Xbox One for $80 bucks, but he had given the power cord to a friend (I have tested it to make sure it works) But I don't want to buy the microsoft liecenced one for another $70 so I am looking for an alternative (more options the better) and those are just the systems I have, but any option is worth looking at

As long as they use the C17/18 connector show in this table https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320#Appliance_couplers then yes.

 

However, the only console that I'm aware of that used C17/18 was the Xbox 360 in later models. So basically... no. No other console's power cord will work.

 

Now if we're talking about the Xbox One S/X, which uses the C7/C8 connector, then you might find consoles that do use it, such as the PS2, PS3 Slim or Super Slim, and the PS4/PS4 Slim (not the PS4 Pro).

Which one would be best? or would any of them work good enough?

I'm not privy to third party power bricks. When it comes to this I'd rather get an official one

I don't want to pay the $70 dollar price tag on the official one though

Well, if you can find reviews that give it good marks, then go with whatever works.

is one has a solid 4 stars?

The others had about 3.6, but with way more reviews

My naturally cautious nature would say that as long as the polarity is correct, and the current's steady, you're good to go.  I'd go with a larger sample size of reviewers (3.6/5) and get it from that vendor.  

 

I'm using after-market AD/DC power supplies for my Lenovo T400 laptop.  I'm hyper diligent (paranoid?) about unplugging the transformer when unattended.  This is my 3rd supply (cheaper to just replacement them).  The cables short out after flexing. Or the brick just heats up & conks out.  Meh... it's significantly cheaper than Lenovo-branded parts.

 

Transformers and their robustness.  Sheesh. :-/
