PC Drivers for the Xbox One Controller

No offense against the Xbox One controller (which I do enjoy using), but I think for my casual on-the-road or in my room gaming on my laptop I&#x27;ll just keep on using my PS4 Controller (I didn&#x27;t get a PS4, but the $60 on the controller was well spent :-).<p>Instructions for PC setup can be found here: <a href="http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-DS4-To-XInput-Wrapper" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;forums.pcsx2.net&#x2F;Thread-DS4-To-XInput-Wrapper</a><p>It&#x27;s really nice not to have to worry about extra wires :-).<p>It makes me wonder why there aren&#x27;t more Bluetooth PC controllers out there (I really haven&#x27;t seen too many, maybe like one from Logitech, but none of them are as good as the console ones anyway so it&#x27;s a moot point for me).

I&#x27;ve been waiting for this for a long time. The Xbox One controller has many small improvements that build up to a noticeable difference over the Xbox 360 controller I&#x27;ve been using to play games like Watch Dogs on the PC. It&#x27;s vastly more comfortable for extended sessions.

I&#x27;m more interesting in the fact that he is showing Halo 2 running on (what I&#x27;m guessing) is the microsoft surface. It seems like a strange choice to choose a game that is almost 10 years old unless he is hinting that Halo 2 Anniversary is also coming to PC?

Once the wireless dongle gets released then I will jump in. Not a big fan of having to plug it in. For now I&#x27;ll stick with the 360 controller I have.

What are the new features of the Xbox One controller as compared to those of the Xbox 360 one ?

What about wireless support?

The text<p>&gt; We&#x27;re planning to release the drivers as part of a Windows update in the near future; however, today, I am happy to offer early access to our dedicated PC gamers on MajorNelson.com.<p>screamed “trojan” to me when I read it. It sounded like a random site was claiming to be affiliated with Microsoft, and was trying to get me to download and install a malicious driver. (The comments say the driver has a signature that Windows does not recognize.)<p>However, the site does seem legitimate. <a href="http://majornelson.com/general-blog-faq/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;majornelson.com&#x2F;general-blog-faq&#x2F;</a> explains who the site owner is: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Hryb" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Larry_Hryb</a>, the Director of Programming for Xbox Live. And the site has many real commenters who seem to treat the site owner as an authority.

Am I missing something, or did they just break backwards compatibility <i>again?</i> Bad enough the first time around, when they conned a bunch of lazy-ass devs into only supporting 360 pads and our standard USB gamepads stopped working.<p>I try to avoid knee-jerk Microsoft bashing, but they&#x27;re really making it hard.
