Good controller but not great

Somewhat good design.
It is light and a very responsive controller. It's easy to download the software for a computer controller.
However, it is too small for my hands.
Right and left bumper have to be pushed inward at an angle with the middle of my pointer fingers instead of pushing the button with my finger tips, which can cause slight crampimg after an hour of playing. For an example of the latter, a PS3 controller lets me push the bumpers with the tips my fore fingers and this configuration avoids hand fatigue regardless of how long I play.

What can I say it works well and is comfortable. I have tried other controllers and this seems to be the best. While I own a PS4 the X-Box one controller is just more comfortable to me on the PC. I have no lag when I hit a button or move the joy stick. Not being able to use it wireless unless you buy an additional Bluetooth receiver was a bummer. Especially for the cost for this controller compared to other PC controllers were priced at. But I would buy it again.
Ultimately it is a great controller (it by no means replaces a Mouse/Keyboard combo) but it does what it is intended to do.

Bought for use with PC and games on Steam. Very comfortable in the hands and of quality construction. For Windows 10 everything tested well but it did not work with Steam out of the box. Updated drivers via Windows/Xbox update and still did not work with any Steam games. Based on recommendations on Steam forums had to manually download and force installation of Windows 8.1 driver before controller would work with Steam games. Overall great product just wish it would have worked out of the box for Steam. Folks not as familiar with manually installing drivers may have difficulty getting it to work with Steam so gave it a 4 star.

I bought this to play pc games. The windows driver for this controller was released by Microsoft. My experience with it so far is that it is very stable and there is no noticeable latency when using it. The design is amazing. Very comfortable in my hands and I don't have big hands. It also comes with the micro USB cable to plug it into a PC. Wireless play is not supported with it yet.

Reason for buying: I bought this controller because after returning to the 'The Crew' carpg by Ubisoft i immediately got fustrated and tired from attempting to use the keyboard to drive around with.
Buying a controller was the next best step. Since i already was familiar with the Xbox series controllers and in driving cars with them and i do say it is perfect for just that and more. The driver you install for the gamepad works wonders (thank you microsoft!) and to this day i haven't had any issue with the gamepad.
Pros
1. Performs perfectly for pc games that allow gamepad options.
2. Was a great price and even though it was more expensive than the 360 gamepad with wireless reciever. This wired X-One gamepad was the superior choice due to the small difference between prices.
3. Is comfortable to use and due to its lightweight can be used for long gaming sessions without your hand getting tired.
4.Comes with a USB cable so there is no lag between game pad and computer and the cable is super long and so allows the buyer to snake it around the entire desktop setup to keep it hidden.
5. It's Aesthetic designs can compliment a multitude of comptuer setups whether your tower as a smooth rounded design or a spikey design or 90 degree corners the controller won't feel out of place. Plus since its black my setup worked perfectly because all my electronics (except for my led's on my mouse/keyboard/headset) are black.
cons
1. Comes with USB, so if you want wireless capability, you have to purchase the wireless USB receiver separately.
2. It's a better price than most stores however its not as inexpensive as the 360 controller.
3. Does not come with batteries.

The same feel and quality as the controllers that come with the X-Box One. I've been using it with my PC and it's worked flawlessly. Others don't like the X-Box controller layout, but I find it's very comfortable to my hands.

Looked at lots of off brand controllers that were cheaper but decided to go with one I knew would be great. Plus it came with a cable to use with a PC or to play wired when batteries die. Great product.

A good controller, but you need to take care of it

This controller is a good controller for a PC with Windows 10 or an Xbox One. If you use it with a PC, it works best with Windows 10 because only the Xbox Accessories app that can be downloaded and installed with Windows 10 through the Windows Store, and is needed to update the firmware on this controller. Windows 7 and 8.1 cannot use the audio jack for this controller, so they might be better served with the Xbox 360 controller. The D-pad can be worn out if you press too hard on it. This controller is comfortable if your hands are large enough. I think that those with small hands could have problems with its large size.

I had always wanted a 360 controller but for my PC but never bought one. This holiday season I had some points banked up so I figured I would get one. I looked around and found only third party controllers for the 360 and numerous XboxOne controllers. I used my phone to research the XboxOne controller as I had no assurances that they even worked on the PC. Luckily I read that there was supposed to be a "Windows" version of the XboxOne Controller that came with all the hardware to just plug and play. I looked around some more and found this version and purchased it. When I brought it home it was as simple as plugging in the cord to my pc and controller. Drivers were installed automatically and the controller worked seamlessly. Just in case anyone was wondering, yes the rumble feature works too. Just find a game that uses it and you get all the same features of console gaming. Much better than using a keyboard and mouse.

The controller is extremely light, fits very well in the hand, extremely grippy for the sticks. This is far cheaper than the Xbox one version. It comes with the drivers built in so you just plug and play gave me driver errors whereas this did not. Also note that if you get the wireless adapter for your PC it requires Windows 10 whereas this controller works on any windows version.

The PC-compatible X-Box One controller is excellent for PC games like Skyrim, Fallout 4, The Last Remnant, Dragon Age Inquisition, & other games that have controller support on the PC platform. Response is seamless & flawless when using the controller for supported PC games. I just wish all PC games had controller support since keyboard/mouse controls hurt my fingers/wrists after extended gameplay.

Nice Improvement Over 360 Controller

I use this controller on my PC for most games that were ported from console (the Batman Arkham series, Assassins Creed series, the Final Fantasy series, etc) and it feels natural. The included cord has generous length so you can sit a ways away if your PC is hooked up to your TV. Buttons and triggers have a nicer feel to them compared to the previous 360 controller.

The xbox one controller is a great fit for any hand. Only concern I had is that you have to buy batteries for the controller. Whereas the ps4 controller you do not have to buy any additional batteries because it has rechargeable lithium batteries already installed in the controller. xbox one need a controller that comes with that without having to buy extra accessories.

I purchased 2 x box one controllers to use with my computer. Setting up the controllers was simple and easy. Simply plug them in the USB port and windows 8.1 will recognized them. No additional drivers are needed. I'm currently using them to play Mortal Kombat X on the pc. The controllers work perfectly.
