How is it?

I don't know if its worth getting a blu tooth reciever and using my PS4 controllers... or getting an X1 controller (since we dont know which one ports will be using?) ... seems the X1 controller is nicer and has native support too.

Anyone using it? does it work with the 360 wireless receiver?

yes, works perfectly fine with every game ive tried.

no, it does not work with the wireless receiver. you have to use a micro USB cable. on the bright side, you never run out of batteries.

It's pretty decent. I haven't experienced the hand cramping some people have complained about, but I also have small hands. The removable micro-usb is actually nice if your controller keep getting slammed on the ground for whatever reason. The D-pad still sucks almost as badly as the 360's, though

Nah, can't see any reason to upgrade from the 360 controller really.

it's a good controller but it's not worth the 50+ euros

Stick with whatever you have

"The Xbox One controller does not use WiFi Direct for any of it's communication. The controller uses a proprietary wireless communication protocol that is optimized for gameplay and voice chat.

Xbox One does support WiFi Direct but that is for things like SmartGlass"

Lame. This was one of the things I was looking forward to, the idea that we could use this controller wirelessly without a reciever.

Was using it for a bit and like it. However it keeps dropping out when I move, something to do with the USB cable although I changed the cable and still had it happening. Gone back to 360 wireless since no wires = better.

There's no official drivers for dual shock controllers right?

I just hope Logitech updates their gamepads with something similar to the new Dualshock.

If you have a PS4 controller use it. The tools available allow it to simulate the 360 controller and even allow the trackpad to control the mouse pointer.

Plenty of unofficial drivers that work perfect, I've been using the DS4 as my primary gaming controller before the PS4 even launched - it's the best.
