Xbox One controllers compatible with PC in 2014
"As we've stated, the Xbox One controller, although it looks similar in many ways, shares no underlying technology with the current Xbox 360 controller. New wireless protocol, combined with the ability to work in 'wired' mode, and the addition of features like Impulse triggers, means that new software has to be written and optimized for the PC," the representative told CVG . The representative also said work must go into ensuring existing games supporting Xbox 360 controllers also support the Xbox One game pad.
One of the big differentiators between the Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers is Wired mode, which allows an Xbox One game pad, when plugged in through micro-USB, to disable its radios and operate as a true wired controller.

I don't game on the PC but if I did I would get this once it's out. The controller looks great.

"But first you need to buy our adapter cable for 50$"
Haha seems like something microsoft would do but the cable for the controller is already usb so it wouldn't need an adapter cable.

VEVOMarshall-Mathers_Jr PC Gamers won't use this, The Keyboard and Mouse have a better advantage over the controller.
My ass. Plenty of PC games are WAY more playable with controllers than a mouse and keyboard. Try playing Tomb Raider with a mouse and keyboard vs. a controller.
I just finished that game. It was not that bad with a keyboard and mouse.

Although I don't use a controller at all, it'll be a nice feature to have while playing some games that support controllers.
