Now I want an xbone controller.

 

[ph00p]

Rumble triggers worked for me testing SF4 and Darksiders 2.

Thats crazy, do they feel like they're working as good as they would in a game programed for the rumble triggers?

 

[Roflobear]

Yaaay. So hard to go back to a 360 controller after using the xbone's

 

[Derp]

YYEEEEEESS!!

I've had this Titanfall Xbox One controller sitting on my disk for months now, purely for my PC.

Thank you, Jebus!

 

[A.D. Skinner]

Now I have to figure out how to get it working in Thief Gold.

 

[FLAguy954]

Time to buy an Xbone controller, thank you Amazon Prime!

Major Nelson promised them "Soon. Very soon." just two weeks ago.

I need to pay more attention to the world.

 

[Nzyme32]

Nice. Still need to give the DS4 a test out to decide what I want to use

6 months after launch, controller PC support.

They are really taking us seriously this time!!!

Not quite, they definitely feel a bit more "360-ish" compared to a Forza 5 rumble. To be fair though, these are older games that weren't designed with rumble triggers in mind. Newer games should be able to take advantage of them.

 

[Kinthalis]

My Xbox one and my PC ar ein the same room, if I connect my Xbone gamepad to my PC via micro USB, will it stop sending signals to my xbone? Otherwise, that's not going to work for me since the console is always on doing home theater stuff.

 

[jem0208]

Can we not download the drivers yet? Every time I try to I get a message that it ended prematurely.

Try using the other version.


I downloaded the x86 initially and that didn't work. x64 works fine, been playing some Far Cry 3. It's great to just sit back and relax...

 

[littlegrasshopper]

Do things like Watch Dogs rumble triggers work with this?

Nope just played a few multiplayer rounds just now.

Yes, I think.

Connecting a wire supposedly disables the wireless connection so it should be fine.

While it's definitely awesome to get official Xbox One controller support on PC, I doubt I'll personally go out and buy one just for PC gaming. I've got a bunch of 360 controllers that work as well as the wireless dongle.

I plugged it into the computer, played for a few minutes then unplugged it. After that, wirelessly turned it on and while it took a tad longer to connect, it connected back to the Xbone.

 

[Cyriades]

time to buy a xone controller!

Going to walmart now

Get the same error messagefrom my wife :-/

I imagine any upcoming game that's getting a release on both X1 and PC will support it, namely something like Project CARS.

 

[MCD]

It seems to be working across everything with no issues so I would have to believe it took them awhile to get the drivers setup in a way that naturally fit the current xinput games but allowed for new games to take advantage of the rumble triggers and what not. I'm no driver programmer so I couldn't tell you how difficult that might be.

I see.

Guess it's just usual programming stuff.

 

[KePoW]

I do not have a XB1... is there a wired version of the controller?

If it's wireless, how do I get it to work with my PC?

Microusb to usb.

 

[Tesseract]

you did good, microsoft.

thank you!

 

[Totobeni]

Finally

Next on the list: wireless dongle.

I guess they'll make a Windows wireless edition to sell the controller with a dongle instead of just making a stand alone dongle.

SF4, you sure? Weird did a few matches and didn't feel any kind of rumble.

 

[gamechanger87]

To be fair, she doesn't say anything but you can see the disappointment on her face.

 

[def sim]

Vanilla had rumble while the newer versions do not (PC), IIRC.

Obligatory Xboss video

On topic: Awesome news, downloading the drivers now!

 

[Nethaniah]

Now to wait for a wireless version, hate to be harsh but it really is useless if it HAS to be wired to your pc.

 

[Cyriades]

pro-gamers only play wired.

 

[Dega]

Wasn't working right till I realized the batteries had to be out. I really prefer this controller now after having spent so much time with it over the last few months.

 

[Nethaniah]

Thing is i rarely use my controller for gaming unless a game has serious mouse issues or if it's a racing game with no wheel support, i use it mostly for XBMC, which if it's wired is practically useless.

 

[Domcorleone]

Welp, my PS4 controller had a hell of a run. Back the the xbone it is.

 

[louiedog]

It's far from useless. A good number of people I know who play with gamepads on PC have the wired version of the 360 pad and prefer it that way.

 

[Dimmuxx]

Nice, it works great so far.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Guess I'm buying a new controller!

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

SF4, you sure? Weird did a few matches and didn't feel any kind of rumble.

Yep, you're right, got them confused. No rumble in SSF4 steam edition.

Sonic Racing Transformed however....lawd!

Best rumble reaction yet, nice and strong.

 

[L.O.R.D]

question

the xbox 360 drivers , when did they release it ?
after 1 year ?

Mine worked fine with the batteries in.

According to wiki, December 2005. So much less than a month after the 360 launch.

 

[misho8723]

So to play on a PC you need to have the controller connected with a cable ? You cannot without him?

 

[oxidax]

smaller sticks which feel looser, much better clicky dpad, triggers feel like a blend of 360 and ps3, everything else is more or less the same. Pad shape is mostly the same, lighter.

Thanks!

 

[EBE]

very nice. will try out my pad later today

 

[SparkTR]

For now yes, I'm pretty sure they're going to release a wireless dongle in the future. For wireless you'll need to use a 360 or PS4 controller.

 

[Caayn]

So wait there are actually games already released that use the rumble triggers?

 

[Xpliskin]

I don't own a next-gen system yet, but
is the Xone controller better than the 360 one (trigger sensitivity, etc ..) ?

 

[Grief.exe]

Monoprice has solid prices on extra long USB cables for those that need them

I haven't personally used the XBO controller, but I believe both the DS4 and XBO controllers are considered upgrades over the 360 pad.

Choose which one feels better to you ergonomically.

 

[see5harp]

Personally I wouldn't buy one if you already have a working 360 controller. Keep in mind, is say the same thing in regards to the ps4 controller.

 

[btags]

If it's wireless, how do I get it to work with my PC?

All the controllers are wireless but can connect to pc (and the xbox one) via micro usb to usb cables. Also, when connected through usb all inputs are sent through the usb cable, not wirelessly.

 

[bryehn]

Sold, and just as I get sent a Crimsonland review code. Sweet, though now I feel obligated to buy a new controller so I don't "overuse" my Day One pad.
