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.

Glad to hear this, hopefully the controller will shrink a bit in the future as well. At least they're reassuring it'll be something different.

That's cool, although I will be using my 360 controller until I get this controller might just wait until 2014..

I always preferred xbox controllers over the gamepads, wonder if my preference will stay the same.

ShadowBoltDashie Couldn't you already hook up a wired Xbox 360 controller to computer and use it? I remember someone telling me that but I never tried it.
I herd you could I know you can get a wireless thing and plug it in people who mod gta and do the police mods do it all the time so there MS goes with saying crap we can all ready do.

When they get it working, I'll definitely buy a controller. My primary gaming is on PC and some games are way easier to play with a controller than a mouse and keyboard. Having all those features you get on the new gen Xbox controller would be amazing on PC.
