45% of users still using Xbox 360 controllers actually surprises me... I thought I was in the minority by steadfastly refusing to "upgrade" to an Xbone one. I hate the new Xbone ones, the new thumb-stick design with the sharp inner ridge gets incredibly painful after a few hours of use. And I never had a problem with my thumb slipping off the smooth 360 thumb-stick either, so I don't understand the change in design at all.
I own a bunch of xbox 360 controllers, but I've never owned an xbox. I buy them specifically for use with PCs. They're just really well supported, and work out of the box. Compared to most PC...
I own a bunch of xbox 360 controllers, but I've never owned an xbox. I buy them specifically for use with PCs. They're just really well supported, and work out of the box. Compared to most PC gamepads they're really well built, and they can be found extremely cheap used.
Is this the revised Xbox One S controller or the original design? I found the original design to be rather sharp on my hands too, especially the bumpers, but the Xbox One S controller's...
Is this the revised Xbox One S controller or the original design? I found the original design to be rather sharp on my hands too, especially the bumpers, but the Xbox One S controller's refinements have made it extremely comfortable to me.
But I can see why the X360 controller would still be preferable. A lot of the new features in the X1 controller are not taken advantage of by PC games (e.g. trigger rumble), and the X360 controller is cheaper.
Ah, I didn't know there even were different Xbone controller designs. I bought mine when Xbone first came out since I wanted to try it out and hated it, so I would assume it was the original...
Ah, I didn't know there even were different Xbone controller designs. I bought mine when Xbone first came out since I wanted to try it out and hated it, so I would assume it was the original design. I gave it away to a friend after a few days so don't know for sure. Perhaps one day I will give the new design a try... but I don't really see why I should, when 360 controllers are still incredibly cheap, widely available, comfortable and just work. ;)
I looked at the Xbone controller recently, and it seemed like it didn't work well with steam link withouts an adapter and I was pretty sure my normal 360 adapter wouldn't work. So 360 controller...

MS also pulled the drivers for Xbone controllers from anything earlier than Windows 10, as I recall, so anyone on older versions of windows will have a hard time with xbone controls.

To be fair it hasn't been around for all that long, all the other controllers on that list have existed for 3+ years, I'm sure it'll shoot up more and more as it gets the time to grow a userbase....

As expected, the 360 controller still dominates by a fair margin. I imagine some of that is unbranded Chinese clones that advertise themselves as 360, but still... Oh, it's also the only...

Oh, it's also the only controller that is well supported on both Linux and Mac.
Steam Controller is also very well supported, I love mine. It works both with steam and with standalone sc-controller app, and I've grown to love the touch panel.

I was surprised to see that they've sold over 1.5 million Steam controllers. I love mine, but the response to them at large seemed to be lukewarm and definitely not "million seller" strong.

Once I found out that I can use the switch pro controller, I dropped the 360 and haven't looked back.
Same for me. I'm a bit surprised it doesn't have a larger share to be honest.
