Yes! Been waiting so long for this. Going to go get me an Xbox One controller immediately.
Hope it gets wireless support in the future. After playing wireless on the PC for a while, I can't go back to wired. I will for this though. Tired of using my PS3 controller on PC, the triggers don't do a lot of games justice.

if the xbox one dpad is at least as good as the dual shock 3s then im happy.
I won it in a Microsoft design contest for the Gamertags on XB1. Mine is the blue bird wearing the red scarf.

just played far cry 3 with it, works beautifully. time to retire the old 360 controller. its been a good run.
I may not be the best person to discuss the quality of the d-pad, but as far as my personal experience with it goes, the Xbone controller's d-pad is much better than the 360 controller's d-pads for fighters. I can't compare games directly but I have played KI with the Xbone controller and KoF XIII with the 360 pad and there is a noticeable difference in quality (favoring the Xbone controller of course).

Well I just tried the Xbone pad for the first time today.
Nope. Terrible design. Uncomfortable. Horrible loose sticks.
360 pad is easily better.

Wait wait wait... was halo 3 ever released on PC? Because that's halo 3 in that shot...
Edit: I have a feeling I am being trolled...

It is an edited pic of the original which had halo 2 on the screen. Sorry to kill your hopes and dreams.
I'm pretty sure that's shopped in because the original picture is of Halo 2 Vista running on Majors SP3.
Completely different technologies between the two controllers.

anybody know if this will work with a surface rt?
Not until the driver hits windows update. Patch Tuesday is the 10th. I'd expect it then.

That's cool of them. I really hope Sony is planning on doing the same - I don't have an Xbox One, but I do have a PS4, and I love its controller. I'd almost consider buying an Xbox One controller just to get a controller with a better d pad.

Is the D-pad better? I'll abandon my 360 pad instantaneously if it is.

Until they release one looks like we can't.

Pretty sweet. I might have to finally buy a second Xbox One controller to keep around. I should get the one with that play and charge kit. That way I won't be wasting batteries while sitting near my computer anyway.

Nope. Great design. Very comfortable for long play sessions. Enhanced analog range (better d-pad too).
XB1 pad is easily better.
On a serious note... you need to give it some time. It's hard to go back to the 360 pad after a while.

i'll wait for the wireless dongle but i'm glad it's finally happening
Not to be a downer (I love the Xbox One controller), but it isn't. It's serviceable at best. The Dual Shock 3's dpad can comfortably play a fighting game like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. All the dpad on the Xbox One controller could play well is Mortal Kombat. If all you use the dpad for is the four main directionals, it's perfect. Diagonals is where I think it's still a major fail.

Anything is better than the 360 dpad. But it's still not great. The bumpers are terrible as well. Everything else is great, though.

I did when the Titanfall edition was released as I thought it was very limited and I got it for a good price.

I wonder if impulse triggers can be supported by titles in the future or retroactively patched in, either way the triggers alone clinch it for me over the 360 controller I can't go back!

Any games work with the rumble triggers?

Bumpers are terrible only if you were use to clawing them pushing your tips on the most inner part of the bumper, otherwise they feel fantastic.
Rumble triggers worked for me testing SF4 and Darksiders 2.

x86 are the 32-bit drivers, right? Xbox controllers are blue tooth right, so if my PC has a blue tooth sensor should it work wirelessly?
Pretty sure, the controller w/ the kit did. It's your standard miccro USB cable with a light on it that shows you that it's charging.

Cool. I think i like the bone controller more than 360? Like..i dont really like the 360 controller much, so i think the better dpad on bone sells me on it. Couldn't care less about the right analog stick really, as long as its not offensively bad im fine.
Wish i could just use my ds2 on everything

My favorite controller, looking forward to switching out my dualshock 4. Not that the latter is bad though, both are great this gen.
