BTW, DS4 works great on PC, both as generic controller and via that DS4Tool app that emulates X360 gamepad.
Actually I don't mind. Maybe it will encourage devs to support controllers in a more generic way.
Why not a DS4 (or DS3 for that matter)?Yeah but the real reason I give a shit is because the Dpad doesn't suck. That's all I want: A good Xinput controller with two sticks and a not-shitty Dpad. Right now the best option is the MLG pad which is freaking $100.
IMHO, they had the superior PC controller since the PS3 went on sale -- or certainly since the good DS3 drivers were released.Now? To me it had the superior controller for PC from the first day it went on sale.
Hmmmm....
I don't understand the move.
So now DS4 becomes the PC controller of choice. After getting use to the controller you prefer it and perform better at it, which would reinforce going PS4 for multiplats even further.
What is the logic?
I just use a CronusMax for it=\
They are the worst thing to happen to gaming as a whole, not only PC gaming. Terrible company indeed.True or not, Microsoft is one of the worst things to happen to PC gaming. Terrible company. It sure would be great if Linux becomes a viable alternative.
Well, the one good thing they did for PC gaming over the last decade was standardizing the controller interface.

Anyways, I was really hoping to buy a Xbox One controller to use on my new PC. Never mind that, will pick a new Xbox 360 controller or maybe a Dual Shock 4.
Just use a DS4. It works great. Done.
Bluetooth, yes.Is it wireless on pc?
Seeing a lot of people jumping to a conclusions from an article on a completely unknown site. Clickbait until confirmed.
IF it is true, then I'm pretty sure we just see the 360 pad stay as the defacto PC controller. Those things are cheap, and still arguably the best controller around.
So... Sony has the superior controller for PC now?
Is it better than a wired X360 controller? Nope,,, prob never will be. Not unless you want to fiddle with third party software.
But that's the point,,, X360 controller is just plug and play for most games now.
That was literally the only way they would be getting any money from me for a piece of hardware this generation.
And now they don't even want that $50 from me? Alright Microsoft, bit weird but I guess you've made your choice.
I played Titanfall on PC with my Xbox360 pad and on Xbox One with my One pad and the One pad was much better.Is it better than a wired X360 controller? Nope,,, prob never will be. Not unless you want to fiddle with third party software.
ThisThe only reason you needed a dongle for the Wireless 360 Controller was because it did not send data over the charging cable.
The X1 controller does, so I think this rumour itself is bullshit. Even if MS doesn't make the drivers, everyone has a micro USB cable and third party drivers would be made sooner or later.

does it really matter when valve's controller is right around the corner ?
Yes. Its standard BT so works wirelessly, uses touchpad to navigate menus, and best of all, you can change the color and intensity of that light or turn it off completely. In a way it works better with PC than it does with PS4.
Not a good thing.
It was "standardized" enough as it was. Xinput has a lot less features than Dinput.
that stick placement tho
Why would Microsoft support pc gaming? haha, thats like Nintendo supporting the 3ds! Durr!

i remember reading some people just buying the controller in anticipation for the windows drivers...
A lot of people would disagree with you on that.Nothing wrong with the stick placement at all....

The last time I tried the PS4 controller (around January), the performance was pretty sub-par. Issues with lag, spazzing, games not supporting it, drivers fucking up etc. - it's not even close to the 360 PC controller experience, which is the same as on console.
