I was thinkin' to get a Xbox One controller for my PC and as u know it's wireless but you can connect it via micro USB to PC, do u guys think i should wait for the official release of wired controller or should i just go with this one ?

I have to say my previous x360 wired controller last for like half a year and the problem was with its wire , that's why i'm having a little bit of a rough time with selecting any wired controller, don't wanna spend 60bucks to last less than a year ...I'd appreciate it if u tell me about your experiences and stuff.

P.S: Is this USB cable gonna work on Xbox1 controller :

Wireless, but im not sure if it works yet on pc. I checked about a month ago and MS didnt have drivers for pc "yet". You might also need an approprietary reciever for it (included in the wireless pc version).

Wireless, I've had my wireless 360 controller for about a year now and still as good as new.

It does work and the drivers are available now, you just need a micro usb cable .
