Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One Pc drivers are out now

http://majornelson.com/2014/06/05/pc-drivers-for-the-xbox-one-controller-available-now/

Beginning today, new PC drivers for the Xbox One controller will be available for download, offering PC gamers a better way to play using the Xbox One controller. We’re planning to release the drivers as part of a Windows update in the near future; however, today, I am happy to offer  early access to our dedicated PC gamers on MajorNelson.com.

 

We know our fans have wanted PC compatibility, and we know they wanted to be able to use the Xbox One controller with the same games and applications they have been playing with using the Xbox 360 controller. We can’t wait for them to play their favorite PC games with what we consider the best controller ever made and we’re excited for fans to experience the improved D-pad, redesigned battery compartment, new comfortable design and offset analog sticks. The new PC drivers will enable the Xbox One controller to be used with any game that featured gamepad support for the Xbox 360 controller. Simply download the drivers, connect your Xbox One controller to your computer through a micro USB cable and you’ll be gaming in no time.

I didn't expect this to be released yet. I love using a 360 controller for Windows. Heck, maybe I'll even buy an XOne controller someday!



also any micro usb cord will work to connect it to the one



Holy Fuck! Its about time Damn it!!! Gonna buy one this weekend!! Thanks a lot for the news!

Can anyone give me a little hint on how nice the controller plays and feels compared to the 360 one? I'm wondering if the 'upgrade' is worth it.

Well done MS, well done.

In my opinion it's an improvement over the 360 controller in every way. It feels a bit eaiser on the hands and the dpad is a huge step up from what the 360 had, I don't know if it worth the price to upgrade. I would recommend trying one out first before dropping $70 on it.
