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.

This will be good for some games, such as racing games or FIFA. Other than that I just use a keyboard and mouse anyway.

Suck_BaleBeet Anyone using a controller for a fps, mmo, moba or rts will be utterly destroyed by players using a mouse and keyboard. Controllers have such a disadvantage
How so??? Is a mouse and keyboard easier?
Depends really on what you're use to, but I've always said to my friends that the PC feels a lot easier to control
I might have to give it a go..

Purity_BaleShadowBoltDashie_Bale This will benefit PC gamers quite well, for games like fifa
I think the people who are already used to the keyboard and mouse wouldn't need this. If they got comfortable with mouse and keyboard, a controller could throw them completely off.
True, but It would benefit someone moving from consolde to PC though.
It might help, but its hard to bind pc games to conrollers
Some of them already have controllers enabled on them.
