Xbox One controller compatible with PC games in 2014

Link

What do you all think? I am quite excited to hear this because I have been wanting to hear this for a while, hopefully PC devs will take advantage of the controllers's new features. Also, now I will be able to compare the new dualshock 4 controller to the Xbones, because I have no plans on geting the Xbone during the first couple years. Oh and sorry if posted before I did not see anything.

Why would I pay $85 for some controller that's roughly the same as a dozen that i already own?KHAndAnime

Unless I need it I just bought a new 360 gamepad, hopefully I can still use that without needing xpadder on next gen titles.

My wireless Xbox controller for the pc is fine as it is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

EDIT: I see now it's $10 cheaper if you buy it bundled. Anyways, $75 is still way too much for me. I'd rather put it towards a nicer mouse, joystick, or arcade stick.

Furthermore, if I feel some urge to use a next-gen controller with my PC, I'll just use a PS4 controller that I'll be getting with the PS4. :D

But I already have a mouse and keyboard....

lol first, what new features does the XBONE controller have in the first place that would even warrant a purchase and two are they planning on selling a PC version thats wired or what? Yes, I did say wired - I like the response time and not having to care about batteries. Gamesterpheonix

I only bought my Xbox 360 controller recently, so it's staying with me until it's broken. Not that I use it heavily anyway...

I bet you can't use that PS4 controller on your PC unless Sony allows it.

[QUOTE="redskins26rocs"] My 360 controllers go bad often so for the extra $30 dollars I would not mind the added features like the new dpad, better triggers, and the new trigger vibration feature. Also, I dont know your location but in America it is only $60 and $75 with play and charge which is not that bad of a pricexhawk27

I've got a 360 controller, which I use for the small handful of games I play that work well with a controller. I'll keep that in mind though. Maybe, in a few years, if they're not too pricy, and I feel like a new controller, I'll get one.

Psh. Such petty limitations matter not to PC gamers. We make things work.

I just purchased my first ever Xbox controller so I could play Dark Souls. It's different, and I like it, but I use it lightly, so I expect it to last me a long time. I think that by the time my controller dies, the new one will be sold for less somewhere on the internet.

cool, but it probably won't work with my old wireless dongle, so that would be uncool.

e: yeah, sure the new dongle would be included there, but the thing is i planned to play games like Mortal Kombat with 2 controllers, and i would probably need to have 2 dongles connected.

e2: unless the new dongle is backwards compatible. me think good no today.

I think I would prefer PS4 since it looks more fashionable and is much cheaper than xbox one nyz970

I use my controller for a lot of games. Racing games mostly and games that just feel better on controller because they were designed for one, like Dark Souls.

The reason I would get this new controller is for it's improved D-pad. The only aspect where the 360 controller lacks, for playing 2D games.

I will be buying the Xbox One controller for my PC on day one. The 360's controller is my favorite controller of all time, and everything I am hearing about the new controller sounds awesome, so it's a done deal for me. Can't wait.

On a side note, what in the world are you people doing to your controllers? lol I have had the same 360 controllers for 5 or 6 years now and they all continue to work fine.

Doesn't the 360 controller already have an improved d-pad? I wonder how much improved it really is. The 360's improved d-pad is already a huge improvement over the old one.KHAndAnime

oh hell no, sir. in x360 controller it's still like a big floating disc, wich you nudge to differenet directions. a proper D-pad is + shaped, like in the new controller.

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"]Buy the controller for 60 bucks and use any micro usb cable and hook it from the controller to your PC and you're set.mitu123

Got my dualshock 3 working well over bluetooth, makes burnout paradise so much better.

I just got a 360 controller with an improved D-pad. The shape is definitely an improvement: a plus instead of a circular shape.

But, it still feels like a weak D-pad compared to Sonys offerings or especially Nintendo. Those are way better. They also give better feedback. It's hard to explain exactly why they are so much better but it just feels better.

Xbone controlls dpad will also not be encircled like the Dpad of the improved 360 controller.

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"] Has it been confirmed you can do this? You can also hook up a wireless 360 controller to the PC, but it doesn't mean you have connectivity...

trastamad03

It uses wifi direct so I assume if you have a wifi card or maybe even a wireless router you can connect the controller to the PC that way

Knowing MS they will charge for a seperate dongle or adapter like they did with 360 controllers.

The Xbox One controller is of a higher caliber.  I'd buy one if it falls into the $50 range.

Still, it is expensive as fu*k.
