yesterday i ordered an xone elite + transmitter + charger (173 bucks total) and i really hope it will meet my expectations and match the reviews i read before. if not i'm going to send it back and exchange it with a 360 one.

173$ to use the Elite? So. Not. Worth it. Most of the extra stuff are just gimmicks you won't use. Also it's heavier. Should have just gotten the DS4 and be done with it for 3 times less money.

i already have a ds3 and i am a windows user. i hate it, my last experience with it was about 1 year ago on win8. have to use extra wrapper/drivers to eventually use the controller and even than the games think i am using a xbox 360 controller. on top of that, the drivers are not signed and i had to disable the driver check on startup to be able to use it. bluetooth is rather lucky to function, usb is ok. im on Win10 now.

i know the price is extremely high but its m$ and we cannot do much about it, have to pay extra for wireless receiver and another extra for a rechargeable package (charge kit). for me the whole package is rather ~100 worth but as i said, m$ wants money.

if the controller is not my type (like to heavy to hold etc) i will definitely send back and get a xbox 360 controller

DS4 is a drastic improvement over DS3, it's worth doing a one time driver install.

DS4 is the best gamepad on the market. Although I'm not sure how many types of games would be more enjoyable with a gamepad than m&k.

For the racing or the GTA I use my PS3 controller, I don't know why this isn't an option.

Xbox One controller - on migrated windows 7\8 driver - as current one in Windows 10 is fucked in many games that weren't updated for quite some time [e.g Ascendant]

the xbox one controller is great, but i hate the bumpers. they are ok, if you only need to press them briefly. but if you need to hold them, i think they're awful. that's why i play dark souls with the 360 controller, and nearly everything else with the one controller. i wish i could put them in a box, shake them for a few seconds, and take out a combined xbox 361 controller! ^^

Hm, why here no option "different"? I'm play only with gamepad defender game racer x7 - it's best gamepad i ever seen for not high price. It have xinput as and dinput, vibration and analog sticks and triggers - not very accuracy - but price is good! It's best!

I don't have much experience with controllers-- I have a lightly used PS3 (mostly Rock Band), so I bought a Logitech F310 because of the button configuration. I love it! I've never had an XBox so I can't really compare.

I mainly use an X360 controller since it's pretty hassle-free, but I think I might like a DS4.
I would use my F710, but the receiver is botched and I don't know where to find one at a reasonable price.

Also, I'm interested in the Steam controller, but I think I'll wait a bit more to see how it is accepted.
