    Xbox One Controller Any Good?

    I love PC gaming and more often use a Xbox 360 controller, but over the years my pad is getting tired now. I am thinking of getting a Xbox One controller and now that the drivers are out it all makes it easy.

    Understand at the moment the controller does not work wireless on the PC but needs to be plugged in via a micro USB.

    My questions are,

    Is the One pad better made then the 360? Always found the 360 D pad to be hit or miss and the triggers hurt your fingers after holding them down for any time.

    Does the Micro USB cable stay in place? I don't want to just move an inch and the cable pops out.

    360 pad at the moment is £25 and the One being about £20 more, is it worth getting "One"

    I have no plans on getting the Console, just the controller.

    cable is fine, but i'd still stick with either a wired 360 pad (slimmer and lighter due to no battery pack) or a standard 360 pad with the wireless adapter. best joypad I have ever used, Xbone pad is just a little bulky and shoulder buttons slightly differently placed.

    Personally I don't like the LB and RB buttons but the triggers are very nice to use

    I also prefer the Left and right bumpers on my 360 controller than the xbox one controller , I would just go with a new 360 controller as you can just plug in and play with the wired 360 controllers and they are also much cheaper now.

    This is perfect for those who love their old 360 controllers, or had a real expensive modded 360 controller and now don't have to worry about buying another, or want to use a PS4 Dual shock 4 controller or want that extra edge by playing with a keyboard and mouse. Naturally you have full access to all of the mod packs too so you can now play with a fully modded controller on your Xbox One Modded Controllers - including our latest addition to the mudpack range, CALL OF DUTY GHOSTS V1.0 - again supplied free of charge and will be out very soon (Until it is released you can use the Call of Duty Series v1.7 Game Pack to work with COD Ghosts on the Xbox One)

    I'd wait for now. The price difference really doesn't justify it IMO.

    You can pick up official 360 controllers with a wireless receiver for less then a XBO pad still....

    While the new anologues are supposed to be a lot more accurate, there's also the issue of faulty stick design. Lots of them are breaking under normal usage.

    I'd stick with the 360 pad, especially if wireless. the cable that comes with the xbox one is secure and I like the controller. Not much in it in my opinion

    Re: Xbox One Controller Any Good?

    Will the XBONE wireless pad work with my 360 wireless adapter? Such as http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-PC-Wir...item20e0875ed4

    Was wondering about getting a new joypad for a while now...
