Xbox One controller will be compatible with PC, Penello debunks rumour
It follows one gamer’s how-to homebrew guide, which shows you how to make Xbox One controllers work with PC games.
OXM reports that a rumour began yesterday over on Next in Gaming, that Microsoft was planning on locking out Xbox One pad compatibility on PC, because it was developing a PC-only model.
“This is 100% wrong,” Penello stated on NeoGAF “When the drivers become available, they will work with the existing controllers. There is no plan to do a new, separate controller that only works on Windows. It will be the same as it is on Xbox 360 – the Xbox One controller you have today will work.
“That’s not to say that we may not ship also PC SKU of the Xbox One controller, much like we do on Xbox 360.”
Further on; he added that the pads will work with PC in wired mode as standard – similar to how Xbox 360 controllers work with Steam now – and went on, “How wireless will/could work is TBD. There are some options we are looking at.
“No more updates on the timeframe beyond what’s been publicly stated – the plan is this year. When the update comes out and we have more details, I can explain the holdup.”
What do you make of the above?

lilrichard22DemonSurferDreams kinda cool anytime ive played a pc game it was always easier with a controller i could never use the keyboard to play
You haven't quite got the idea of PC gaming quite right have you? Playing a FPS for example is way faster and more accurate using a "gaming" mouse and keyboard ( that's the big rectangular thing with the letters and numbers on ).seriously,some people.Yeah i'm a real PC gamer with my XBOX controller lol.
I thought being a gamer was based on playing games for the fun of it, not based on what you use to play.
It is,being a gamer in general,but i'm referring to PC gamers... you dig?

the Xbox one controller feels amazing in the hand and would be awesome to play on the pc with. I would buy one just for that.
