is this the best wireless controller for pc?

also does the wireless adapter it comes with work for windows 7?
>>
>>342125987
It is the best in my opinion. Be sure to get an audio jack-ed one, the earlier models their bumpers suck. I can personally confirm the wireless adapter works, I did have to look up the drivers from MS their website, but they should be in the latest updates.

Yes, but the PS4 controller is just as good, but gets points docked because it isn't plug 'n play.

You have to buy it separately and yes, it will work but be cautious since you might accidentally install windows 10.

I hope that's not the case. It may be like how Dualshock 4 doesn't work fully on PC due to lack of driver, but you can still use it as a generic controller without installing that third party DS4Windows driver.
>>
Xbone controller is the best simply because of the driver support.

You'd be stupid to not buy one just in case. Its more or less just as comfy as the 360 controller was.
>>
this xbox one controller is 10/10 from me. i really like that i can use normal headphones that i would for my cell in discord, and since i have windows 10 it was plug and play with the adapter that was wicked cheep. Just make sure you get the real gear and not knock offs.

my penis tingled the moment i plugged my new xboner controller in and it just automatically worked. nothing even had to be installed, the support is just built it. build quality is also really nice and it feels good to hold.

modern controllers are expensive but the xbox controller is def worth it. for like 3 years i was using my dualshock 3 on pc and it was just awful.

I'd want to compare bluetooth mode to the 2.4/5GHz connection. I feel a bit burned since I bought that adapter because there's no other way to use the xbone controller wirelessly.

The original wireless adapter was Win10 only. They eventually brought it to win7. I doubt they'd do the same for the bluetooth functionality and i really doubt anyone could write an android driver for it.

your post is exactly why I bought the 360 but still the quality is subbpar on that piece of shit

>>
xboxone for ease of use, plug it in and it just werkz
-bumpers kind of suck and the build quality doesnt feel like it should for the price also batteries lol

ps4 for usability, the touchpad can give extra functionality but requires thirdparty software
-small, like really small I dont even know how people cant use it for long periods, battery lol

wiiupro for comfort and battery, joystick placement makes it perfect for fps and first person rpgs. Battery life is phenomenal, charge it once a week and thats after using it the past 2 years heavily with pc.
-Not recommended for racing (gta V and more arcade style racers are just fine though) and needs an adapter for full functionality

Yep. I can confirm that only Win10 worked with the adapter initially. I updated my Surface Pro 2 to win10 in order to get the adapter to work with the Elite controller.

I don't hate DS4 at all, but the battery life on it even if turning off the LED is shorter than the Xbox controller. I kind of wish that I can use the xbox controller through bluetooth on my phone actually. That's an advantage the DS4 has on it.

The ergonomics are barely passable and a noticeable step down from 360. Build quality is only marginally better.

On the topic of home buttons, why the flying fuck does steam take all home button inputs as "open big picture mode", regardless of what you're fucking doing?

naah, for the right stick it's fine, cuz i switch to ABXY frequently

Rougher, less likely to slip, but not the rubberized grips that you get with the scufs or the elite controller.

My right hand is injured so I cant hold a controller like I use to. i use my ring and pinky fingers to handle the right bumper and trigger now since I wont give up gaming. I also cant use a mouse normally or for long periods of time. It sucks but thats life i suppose.

The moral of the story is dont take your hands usability for granted.

start -> run/search -> msconfg
startup tab
untick the 360 controller (xboxstat)
reboot or end task on xboxstat.exe

Just uninstall the Xbox360 app. You only need it for Wireless Controller, as pressing that will give u feedback for approx "How much Battery Life is left".

Been needing to pick up a new Xbox controller for PC use. Should I just shell out for the Xbone controller over the 360? Does the 'customize' option have anything different internally or with software, or is it just for personalization and that alone?
>>
>>342131414
You can get an xbox one controller on the cheap on craigslist. I think picking a used controller and then cleaning it up so it doesn't stick is the best choice.

The customize option doesn't let you save a profile internally. Only the Elite controller will let you do that.
>>
>>342131114
nah, it's just a cover that I had on my old controller and tried on my elite controller once I got it. It fit wwell witout the back triggers and I never used them, so I just kept it on.
http://www.terapeak.com/worth/1-pcs-silicone-rubber-case-skin-cover-for-xbox-one-controller-black-green-camo/281826787418/

Not sure if this is a good site, just found it on google to show the cover.

>>342131414
If you get the xbox one controller make sure you save the receipt just in case it won't work with windows.

If it doesn't work go with a 360 controller.
>>
I honestly like it. Been using it for a while now. Haven't felt the need to go back to the 360 controller.

However it's not good for competitive shooters (CS:GO, TF2, etc), though you could master it I guess, but why bother if you can play with a mouse and keyboard.

As for the rest, 10/10 controller that can be used on all types of games. You need to accept to spend some time setting up controls to your liking for each game though.

Customization of the new xbone controller is the colors and an engraving. If you use win10 you can use an app to change some button bindings.

im honestly surprised that there are people who haven't upgraded to windows 10 yet. if you're on windows 7 or 8, you're ALREADY IN microsoft's ecosystem. all of the meme-concerns like NSA spying and shit like that already apply to you.

if you're a freetard then you should be using linux, not windows. and if you're already using windows, then there's no reason to not upgrade to 10.

I was more or less asking if it's worth the extra bit of cash to get an Xbone over another 360, since I've heard it's mostly an improvement, just a tad bit smaller.

>>342132337
All right, sounds pretty low. Might have to start looking around.

How useful are the back-pedals? Can you do anything fancy like macro two buttons together, or is it just for mapping things like the L/R sticks?

>>342132669
I would go for the one controller instead of the 360, especially since parts are ample for the one controller.

Elite controller's paddles are neat. It's a shame that Microsoft doesn't let me map those paddles as distinct keypresses though. I can only map them to existing buttons on the regular controller, which does limit what I can do with them.

You need Xpadder essentially to map a button to a keypress, and xpadder cannot address the paddles independently.

Seems a bit superfluous then, but I guess you could get around playing claw style on a couple games with it?

Anyways, thanks for the advice, anons. Guess I'll start looking around for an Xbone controller, or maybe looking around for a discount or cheap seller. Now to avoid going for the colored designer options.

>>
>>342133407
You don't even need to play claw style. That's the point. The paddles are an alternative to awkward grip for ease of access to functions.

Do you guys think the Elite controller's worth 130€? I already have a wired 360 controller, but the D-pad's way too terrible, sticks are wearing down, and I'd like to have it be wireless.

I bought one of them with a play and charge kit recently to play on PC and then I see this shit

http://www.pcgamer.com/revised-xbox-one-controller-taps-bluetooth-to-work-with-pcs/

Fucking why Microsoft? Why not put it there to begin with?

>"Yeah, the reason we didn’t do this previously—again, trying to be transparent with it—you know, Bluetooth is great, one controller to one PC. Obviously in a console experience we support four or five people connecting at the same time," Spencer explained to PC Gamer. "For the PC experience I think Bluetooth is great. I still think Xbox Wireless for the console experience is the right way to go, which is why we put both antennas in there," he continued. "But yeah, that same controller that comes with the Xbox One S or the custom controllers that people are building … so those are Bluetooth as well. So they’re Bluetooth and Xbox Wireless. And we specifically designed it so you can have one controller that you take back and forth from your console to your PC."

What
>>
>>342135816
It's because MS wanted the PC and Xbox to be separate platforms.
>>
>>342134183
are those custom xbone controllers elite or regulars?
>>
yes but wait for the xbone s controller. it has bluetooth and you won't need to buy a separate wireless adapter. you can also custom colour it yourself
>>
>>342130049
>i need to charge my xbone controller once a month (even with high usage)
>>
>>342136108
Regulars, version 3.

Why is everyone fucking not talking about the elephant in the room. The original Xbone controllers bumpers were the worst god damn buttons on any controller ever. If you did not press them in a specific certain, and tedious way, it didnt click. It fucking sucked and destroyed my trust for another good XB controller. Fuck this big ass turd sandwich feeling trash.

they're not elite but they're the new controllers coming with the xbone s. they have new grips, Bluetooth, and some other stuff.
