I actually prefer the Xbox controller over the Playstation design. Having the analog stick located in the secondary location just doesn't work for today's gaming where the vast majority of games use analog input instead of just 8 directions. It was fine back on the PS-X when analog was pretty new and only the newest releases made use of the stick (and even then not all of them, but when the PS2 came out they really should have redesigned the controller, even if only to swap the D-pad and analog stick.
This is why, to this day, I consider the Gamecube controller to the be best gamepad (for analog sticks) I've used to date. Though the Xbox controllers (barring the original design back when the first console originally launched) are a close second.

Slightly off subject but could any of you lovely people tell me if the X1 controllers have improved their dpad quality since launch?
I have a day one controller and with extremely minimal use the dpad essentially broke and stop responding to forward and down inputs. I'd be interested in possibly buying a new one (such as that lovely white one) in the future but not if quality has not been improved significantly since then.
Thanks for your time in advance.

I have a Chinese clone wired Xbox 360 controller. Paid $15 for it and it is actually decent quality. When I get Chinese controllers I worry about how solid it is and the analog joysticks. Last Chinese controller was a PS2 style and the joysticks crapped out after a month due to sub-par quality design on the joysticks. My 360 controller has none of those problems and even shows up as an official MS 360 controller in Windows 10. Still using it to this day.

They try to make as much stuff as possible exclusive for Windows 10, to try to force people to swap. I ran Windows 10 for about three weeks or so, and it although the initial tech preview seemed -okay-, the actual release version made me miss Windows 7 more and more every day. No surprise that Microsoft needs to resort to planned obsolescence to force people onto their new travesty of a -Windows- platform.

screw Microsoft for this. The ps4 controller uses regular bluetooth, and the steam controller comes with a dongle, but Microsoft charges 50 bucks for the controller and 25 for the dongle. vs 60 for ps4 or 50 steam controller. Also if you make minimum wage, and it takes you less than 2 hours to configure the ps4 controller then it is actually lazier to use the ps4.

Good stuff Clint! I just picked this up a couple weeks ago, and then immediately bought a steam controller afterwards which I have been using ever since. If you get a chance, I'd definitely check it out. The battery life on it is ridiculous! Haven't had to replace them yet, and its going on about 90 hours! Plus the controller is pretty great once you get used to it.

That was interesting, I don't get why they're being so closed off about their controller being used with the adapter and win10 either. I mean you can use the PS4/WiiU Pro controller really easily apparently with PC and then there's the dozens of other controllers you can use. That's a good way to shoo away customers from a expensive adapter.

I picked up the X360 for pc controller when I built my gaing rig for about AU$45 and I don't see the need to upgrade the Xone for probably over double the money, is there really that much difference between the controllers?
They look almost identical and I am sure that they work almost identically as well!

Hey LGR, do you use Win10 on your main PC? I was wondering, if that is the case, if you would do a review on how you like/dislike it and if you think guys like us who work on our PC's for a living should hop on board? A pseudo review would work too I guess. I just need more honest opinions in my life.
