I'm so glad this is (apparently) finally coming. After my wired 360 controller broke I pretty much gave up on playing any PC games I'd want to use a controller for because I didn't want to buy another 360 pad knowing I'd just be replacing it with the Xbone version somewhere down the line.

Those Windows drivers for the Xbox One controller would be nice
- Thread starter npa189
- Start date
Whenever the announcement does happen, apparently they are going to let us know why there was a delay at the same time.
I somehow believe the reason for the delay is this thing released around the same time. But maybe I am wrong.
Oh and @Albert Penello: we need this for Xbox One! Please

Oohh yes please. And please allow third parties to also make wireless headsets for both chat and game/music/etc audio, would be super nice to be able to use one pair of headphones for all my devices.Oh and @Albert Penello: we need this for Xbox One! Please
I sometimes game with headphones on to not disturb the others around the house with constantly the same sound effects (raatatatattatatata, etc), but wearing headphones and a mic isn't exactly something you want.
From their posts, they have said a adapter will not be required for wired play. The wireless solution is TBD.

What you are currently doing is connecting a Direct Input controller with no official drivers to your PC. Direct Input is an old standard that doesn't have much support with current games.
You need an Xinput wrapper that forces the PC to accept the DS4 as a 360 controller. I just played through 100 hours of Dark Souls II with no issues.

I did all that. Finally got it to work, but...
So I was finally able to get the controller working perfectly for a few games, and was pleased to finally get it to work, but that excitement soon came to an end as I tested more games with it. A lot of bugs. Bastion worked great but than when I quit the game it would constantly launch the game over and over again. I had to force quit steam for it to stop. Tested Sleeping dogs and you can't navigate the menu, using the dpad or stick it would skip menu options, had to navigate with the keyboard in order to get the game set up. Than even when it started the camera would keep spinning in a circle and I couldn't stop it.
Some games work perfectly. RE Revelations was perfect, as was Witcher 2, but others have problems so it's still not usable for me. I'm going to have to continue to use my wired razer controller.

Yeah the sticks feel really nice, and the triggers are great once again (like on 360).
Why does it matter, unless you're still looking down at your controller to find buttons?
That said, some devs are including options lately. Hopefully it catches on!

Driver support is for Xbone controllers, they aren't planning to have separate windows Xbone controllers. At least that's what their rep has said on here.
You have to select the 'hide DS4' option.

Lol, and I just uninstalled everything. Where do you find this?

This adapter, though it's third party, has worked just fine for me for almost two years now. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E0OB7MW/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Okay, good. I was under the impression that at one point there was a rumor that current controllers wouldn't be getting support.
You can't miss it.
The bumpers are fantastic. What are you taking about?
Or are you one of those people who physically moves his fingers to hit the bumpers instead of doing it the right way: just roll your finger back.

Ugh no wireless dongle is a deal breaker for me. It's 2014 can't go back to a wired gamepad.
Input lag, son. Wired for life!
We don't know if an adapter is coming or not yet, do we?
They have yet to say, but I'd imagine a wireless solution would require a dongle as the xbox one has some sort of special wireless tech that is different from the 360.
That works fine for games where you only need to hit the bumpers occasionally, but man those things suck for dark souls. Had a terrible time keeping my bow up.
They said that it might. TB either D or A.
To those who care for buying used controllers, there are good conditioned ones on sale right now for roughly $25. Hopefully neither of these sites is blacklisted, apologies if so. http://slickdeals.net/f/6956524-xbox-one-wireless-controller-20-cowboom-com?
I didn't really need or want one, but cheap is cheap. Now I have to worry about PC drivers like the rest of you.
