Not sure to be honest. When I looked at it a while ago, I figured the steam controller would be worse for me 'cause of it's layout. And I don't know anyone who has one to give it a try before buying. I have been thinking about getting the Xbone elite controller because it's so adjustable. Though it's crazy expensive for a controller.
You can still get this one. I’ve had it for years and it’s great.

No wireless receiver? Fuck that.
For what it's worth, Amazon is selling this "For Windows" pack for $5 less than just the controller.
Haha thanks! Didn't even realize, and yep there is! The original giant Xbox logo is now an OLED screen that plays the original xbox startup animation when you press it.

|What games/sims are the most life like?
All of the above games are more or less the most popular games with the best physics. They all have their up and downsides. They are all miles ahead of any codemasters f1 game or forza. They also all offer the ability to drive open-wheel cars, although some games require mods or dlc to do so.
| What wheels are the best?
If you want a good xbox one compatible wheel then you're basically looking at the Thrustmaster TX. It has a really good belt driven system and has a detachable rim. The downside is you need to buy a separate set of pedals and shifter if you want to drive manual. If you want something less expensive, the best bang for your buck IMO is the Logitech G27, but it is PC/PS3 only.
|How much cost is associated with sim racing?
Well essentially you need a wheel and a game. A good wheel will set you back anywhere between $200-$700, and most games are between $20-$60.
If you want participate in competitive online racing, you are basically going to have to go with iracing. They have by far the best multiplayer. However, you have to pay a subscription fee and must buy most of the tracks/cars separately. This is where cost can get out of hand.
I have a lot of fun with a pretty basic setup, however the sky is the limit as far as spending goes. But no matter how much you do end up spending, it will be a fraction of the cost of a trackday weekend.
It is unfortunate that so many games now have such complex controls that it invariably ends up less accessible to people like us with mobility based disabilities.
One thing I would recommend, though it won't help with the games you've listed here as they're PS4 (or at least console) exclusives. Consider moving to PC gaming. I personally prefer console gaming, with PS4 being my system of choice, but the ability to change key-binding with PC makes it much more accessible. I'd also highly recommend this controller.

The added flexibility this controller gives should improve your gameplay experiences.
I buy Sony TV's because I prefer the picture quality over the competition. Yesterday I ordered a Sony 65" X900F knowing full well that the Android TV experience is going to be complete garbage, just like it has been on my Sony 55" X850D.
As someone else mentioned, you can update the OS with a USB drive. But even with the latest Android OS my X850D still has a bloat-filled, laggy interface. Using ADB commands to clean it up has helped but it still lags.
I gave up on the Android TV experience over a year ago. My solution is to plug in an Xbox One X and use it with (THIS) remote. The combo of the Xbox and that remote makes the Xbox a fabulous media center. The Xbox houses all of my streaming apps (Hulu Live, HBO, Netflix, Amazon prime Video etc.) and has a very snappy/intuitive interface. And with the Xbox setup using HDMI ARC for TV and my surround sound, powering the Xbox on with the remote turns the TV/surround sound on and gives me full audio control over the surround sound. Turning the Xbox off with one click shuts everything else down as well.
With the above setup I haven't even seen the Android TV experience in over a year and honestly forget it's there.
With that said, you can accomplish essentially the same thing with the nVidia Shield, if you prefer that over Xbox. Just keep in mind that there is no Hulu Live app for Android TV, so if you use that for your live TV streaming (like I do), the nVidia Shield won't be a good solution for you.
I had a similiar issue, my old stick was naturally a little loose and hyper sensitive, so just resting my hand on it caused it to input roll because it was loose enough that the idle weight of my tiny little hands was moving it. This resulted in having to make the deadzones WAY bigger than I wanted them to be.
If you're in the market for a new controller heres some options from least to most expensive as well as amazon links for buying them.
Xbox 360 Pad: $28
Steam Controller: $50
T-Flight HOTAS X: $50
Xbox One Controller + Wireless PC Adapter: $63
Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS: $108
Xbox One Elite Controller: $140
X-52: $150
Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS: $449
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Okay with the all in one box stuff out of the way there are some good mix and match options from CH Products which I'll list below. My current set up is CH Fighterstick, CH Pro Throttle, CH Pro Pedals, + HTC Vive for headtracking (or ED Tracker for headtracking when I don't want VR)
CH Flightstick: $75
CH Combatstick: $94
CH Fighterstick: $116
CH Flight Sim Yoke: $120
CH Pro Pedals: $121
CH Pro Throttle: $123
CH Eclipse Yoke: $201
Also note that the joysticks and throttles from the Thrustmaster FCS and Warthog can be bought separately making them worth considering as options here.
FINALLY I will leave you with a word of warning. The Saitek X-55 and X-56 might look tempting, but they have shoddy build quality and will break on you. I used to have an X-55, and I've seen the inside of the X-56 and they both have the same problems. They are a time bomb, do not buy them. Also someone will more than likely eventually comment saying they own one of these devices and have had zero issues out of them, lucky them I hope they never have an issue, but Saitek is known for terrible Quality Control and with the exception of the X-52 buying a Saitek product is not worth the gamble even though Logitech now owns them and is known for great build quality, there are too many items from when Mad Catz owned them floating around in the wild.
the PDP Talon has been working wonders for me tbh, it may not be the original but its pretty damn good
It is - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAQ02OG
Buy the PDP Talon one. Less than half the price and works just as well if not better.

As a G27 owner (same internals as G29), get a Thrustmaster TX. It's cheaper and uses a belt drive system instead of the inferior gear system Logitech has used since mid 2000s.

The back of this is a little wonky. I have my Chromecast plugged into my Xbox. I use the travel router to turn my University public wifi into a personalized hotspot so I can use my Chromecast and Chromecast audio (with aweseome Castdock speaker).

You'd be better off watching YouTube reviews of these various products.
None of which might fit great now that the rubber on your controller is actually falling apart. Might require some hot glue or something else if you want them to stay in place.
A lot of people eventually switch to xbox style sticks, not just because the material doesn't fall apart but because it's actually a much better design. These compared to the DS4 sticks is night and day in terms of control and your thumb not sliding all over the place.

Not that hard to install. Hardest thing about taking the controller apart is getting the shell separated for the first time and the fact that the triggers and springs might fall out, so just work on a clean table where you'll be able to find the little springs. Watch videos on how to take it apart.
Get the Xbox One thumbsticks. They are really nice!
I got mine from Amazon (4 thumbsticks): http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JQX91HU

"In stock but may require an extra 1-2 days to process." You're welcome.
This one is WAAAAY better and only costs $20.
What system you play on is beside the point. Let's see what we can plan out for you.
I'm basing this off of your other comment's projected budget, $500 - $1000.
__
First and foremost, your wheel and pedals. Whether you start with your cockpit/wheelstand or wheel is mostly up to preference, but I'd start with a wheel first, since a wheel clamped to a desk with pedals on a floor is the minimum of simracing, whilst a rig with no wheel is just a glorified gaming seat. Plus, what you get first sets the budget of what comes after it, and I wouldn't prioritize an expensive rig over a good wheel.
Anyway, where you go from here pretty much depends on how much you're looking to spend. If your budget is $500 - $1000 and you're looking to get a whole setup going, I'd keep the wheel+pedal spending to $500 or less. This will leave you with a decent amount of wiggle room for rigs and accessories. All of the suggested wheels are compatible with Xbox One.
_____
Wheels and Pedals
A budget wheel if there ever was one. It's by no means a bad wheel, for $200. It has reasonably strong FFB and similar build to its more expensive counterpart, the TX. Though with a brushed motor and belt-gear hybrid system, it's not as strong nor as smooth as the TX. As someone who's tried its PlayStation counterpart (the T150, basically the same base with a slightly different rim), I'd say it's 75% the quality for 50% the price. If you're on a strict budget and know you'll be on one for a while, it's a pretty good deal.
^(NOTE: As of writing this, it's currently on sale for $160!)
If you're planning to drive with an H-gate shifter in the future, then this version of the TMX is a good deal. Instead of the standard 2-pedal Thrustmaster set, it comes with Thrustmater's T3PA Pedals. On top of getting a clutch pedal, it includes a conical brake mod, designed to give more tension to your brake pedal and allow you to better control braking. Plus, in just about any wheel-supported Xbox One game you can map the brake to the clutch and put the conical brake mod behind it, giving your legs more room if you're not using an H-gate shifter. Though if you know you never want to use an H-gate, it might be better value to just get the standard TMX and use a DIY solution for modding the brake.
In case you're wondering, yes, it comes with Ferrari branding as standard. Anyway, this is arguably the best bang-for-your-buck. TX TX's rim is interchangeable, so if you're not a fan of the stock one, you can replace it with another Thrustmaster rim of your choosing. On top of that, its belt-driven FFB system is a bit stronger and considerably smoother than the TMX, not to mention that it's hard mountable (is able to be screwed-in to a rig instead of needing a clamp). While some get the TMX as a starter wheel and upgrade later, this wheel is often people's one-stop for sim racing, since it's just that good.
^(NOTE: You really picked the best time to get into sim racing, this wheel is only $257 as of writing this! $400 is a decent price for this wheel but the current price is an absolute steal.)
Similarly to the TMX, this is Thrustmaster's step-up version of the wheel; not only does it include a special black version of the T3PA pedals, it also includes a much better rim. While its style is more akin to the TMX, its rim is made from a metal frame, making it feel more solid than the TMX and standard TX plastic rims, and is wrapped in a nice leather instead of rubber. For only $67 more than the standard TX, it's a significant savings over buying the parts separately.
This is the premium class of wheels, for the most part. Fanatec's hardware is generally only built from the best of materials and offer some of the best performance, along with being open to Fanatec's wider, more advanced selection of parts and accessories. However, unlike most wheel bases, this is only the wheel base, no rim or pedals included. If you want Fanatec's base CSL offerings for a rim and pedals, the price jumps to about $470, the same price as the TX, but that's only with two pedals. If you want their 3-pedal base instead, the price jumps up to $590, and if you want a GT style rim instead, you're already over $600 with the 2-pedal set, $700 with the 3-pedal set. Fanatec's gear is top-quality, but it comes at a price. Is the bit of extra quality worth the prices that the parts quickly add up to? That's subjective. At the very least, I wouldn't recommend Fanatec Gear if you're on a budget, but maybe consider it for the future.
_____
Rigs and More
There are some Xbox One wheels for you to consider. I hope my explanations made sense, I wanted to make sure to convey the different aspects of each wheel so you could better make a decision.
If you want my personal recommendation though, I'd say the TX, especially since it's on sale. $250 for that base is a great price, it's a near-perfect balance of budget with performance.
Next on the list, a rig. If we're assuming that you're willing to reach towards the upper-end of your budget, then continuing here after you get your wheel is a no-brainer. Having a dedicated place to secure your wheel and mount your pedals makes for a far better experience than sitting at a table, especially if you're playing in front of a TV.
Keep in mind that there are two types of rigs, wheel stands and cockpits. Wheelstands are only meant to mount your wheel and pedals, where you sit is up to you. They're designed to be foldable and easy to carry, making them perfect for playing in front of the living room TV or using in a small apartment. Dedicated cockpits take things to the next level, securing your seat to the wheel and pedals means that you won't have to worry about anything sliding around, and makes things more comfortable overall.
As much as I want to continue though, there are many, many great options to choose from and reddit has a length limit on comments. For more information on building your rig, you can check out the r/Simracing Buyer's Guide in the wiki. It includes everything wheels and rigs to accessories and monitor mounts.
Cheers, and let me know if you have any questions.

It was way better than the original sticks. 2 days ago, I replaced them with aluminium ones: Aluminium sticks

I reccomend getting a Power A Mini Controller if you need a smaller controller. The Power A stuff is pretty durable and inexpensive also all of their wired controllers have break away cables.
I've been using a Power A Fusion Pro Controller for over a year. It's a wired "elite" style pro controller. I've got nerve issues with my right hand so I needed a controller with back buttons. I put a lot of extra abuse on the left half of the controller. It has held up really well even with being dropped and tossed on a regular basis. It is available for <$50 from other sellers.
The thing is, the analog stick allows you to use the controller in other games as well. The Raion is literally completely unusable in any modern game outside of fighting games and sidescrollers. And the Raion is literally priced identical to an entry level fighting stick, whereas the Mad Catz and Hori pads are more like "cheap third party pads". To put that price into context, it's more than the Xbox Elite Controller.
OTHER SELLERS - HERE
Yup! That’s the one. Works flawlessly.
edit: link - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D12RPHX
Fun fact if you didn't know already, you can get a new one now. It isn't cheap, but it's available.
Edit: actually not a bad price on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Duke-Wired-Controller-Windows-Black/dp/B079ZPCCLM
I shouldn't buy this but I will because it looks dope as fuck.
Also as a side note for people if you want just the controller that's on sale as well for just $50
Yeah, I'm completely sure. I liked the original Fat Xbox controller.
In fact I just discovered that this thing exists and I might buy one. https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Duke-Wired-Controller-Windows-Black/dp/B079ZPCCLM
And a pair of game controllers
They should price match this
You have none. There's this but it doesn't have force feedback.
if you mean this wheel then you are a bit out of luck. It doesn't officially support PC but some people have reported getting some games to work in different ways.
I ordered these ones here.

Use an Xbox One Elite Controller.
Got one when they released, just feels right now. It doesn't actually help at all with CS:GO, I only use two paddles, one is assigned to push to talk, and the other to inspect, which is why I'm inspecting all the time. I just always have my finger on the paddle.

Really overpriced, but again, I just like how to feels. It's extra weighty, and the leather grips feel nice.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0151K6FPC/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
That's the guy I am using right now. I literally bought it because I wanted to do FFB with FM6 and try out iRacing. I tried FM6 for a few hours and just couldn't get the feel down. The way it feels when your back end starts to lose it is just so wrong it makes it super difficult for me to handle. After that I bought Project Cars on PC and wow, it was a huge different. PC isn't a proper sim, but the FFB is great fun. iRacing is simply amazing.
Possibly part of the problem is I started doing weekly races at CXC Simulations in Los Angeles, and their iRacing setups are unbelieveably amazing.

> X1 doesn’t support generic PC controllers so why would the version they ripped be any different in what they support?
Because the "X" in Xbox stands for DirectX, which is the graphics library that Windows uses to power video games. The whole console series was designed at the core to be as similar to PC as possible in order to allow easy development and porting between Microsoft's two ecosystems, Windows and Xbox. So, the assumption that supporting one joystick means the game supports all joysticks is by far and away the norm. You're either really ignorant about how this stuff works under the hood or you're going through some award-winning mental gymnastics here.
Basically every third-party gamepad ever uses either directinput or xinput, which means that this and this are exactly the same in everything except physical form factor and the internal product ID on the device's chipset. Similarly, every game with joystick support ever doesn't care that this is a different brand, make, model, etc. from this. It's all the same once you get past the form factor. All joysticks are treated the exact same way by the software unless you specifically design the software to not do that.
> Yeah it’s shitty but it is fixable and I’d hedge my bets on a design oversight considering these games have been console exclusive forever
They could easily mitigate that by releasing a statement saying that more support is coming. I highly doubt that'll be the case until whatever exclusivity deal they signed wears out (if it even can), though, because the evidence points to it being a conscious decision.
> It seems everyone has forgotten the olden days of shitty PC to Console or Console to PC ports that barley or didn’t function at all (dark souls) and this is project Aces first PC port
"It was bad before, so don't be so mad that it's bad now." They had ample opportunity to learn. Capcom's Monster Hunter team learned similar lessons when MH:World released on PC last year, but their sins weren't nearly as egregious and nothing about it screamed "malicious", just "incompetent". Bamco's actions here are a targeted effort at creating a closed system, and no one should stand for it.

If you're running through controllers that often, I'd recommend just getting a standard controller with a warranty so that you could swap it out when it's no longer working.
I would also recommend just changing the way you're utilizing the controller. No official brand controller should be wearing down with however many hours you could possibly be playing in half a month. I'm probably one of the biggest grinders of HUT in the world and I don't even burn through controllers at that rate.
That one doesn't, but the chatpad allows for limited mapping. I don't think there's any push to talk, though. Personally, I feel like an accessible mute button is enough for me.
The wheel I have actually has really strong force feedback to be honest. But yea, I have Forza 5/6, Horizon 2/3, Project Cars, and Dirt Rally. I have the [Thrustmaster TX Leather Wheel] (https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Leather-Premium-Official/dp/B0151K6FPC). Was able to get it on black Friday for $350.
Honestly the elite is overpriced in my opinion, go for an off brand one that does the same thing like scuf or Razer.

I would recommend getting this remote. It makes using the Xbox as a media center a lot easier, plus it has x,y,a,b buttons.
You ever thought about getting a media remote for your Xbox?

I'd go for this wired controller https://smile.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Xbox-One-Wired-Controller-Black/dp/B07CZTVHY8/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=wired+xbox+one+controller+pc&qid=1562929452&s=gateway&sr=8-3
It's reliable, affordable and if you need an extra 6 feet, get a USB Female to Male Extension cord.
i got this in white. . . one for both of our model 3's. both work great! bad reviews are from the 1st gen of the controller. 2nd gen apparently doesn't have any problems and it's made by amazon so apparently they back it well if it does break. so far it's been great!
&#x200B;
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Xbox-One-Wired-Controller-Version/dp/B07D12RPHX/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=amazon%2Bxbox%2Bcontroller&qid=1569852898&sr=8-1&th=1
I do prefer the real xbone controller, but this one: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Xbox-One-Wired-Controller-Black/dp/B07CZTVHY8/ is the one I have 4 of for party games since its cheaper and seems to work fine.
They say wired. I think wireless should theoretically work if you plug the wireless dongle into USB, but others have said it's a no go.
I got this (wired)one from Amazon based on other recommendations : amazon basics
The newer ones have a different design than the original Xbone controllers I think too, the originals had shiny plastic at the top above the Xbox logo, meanwhile the newer ones have the same type of plastic all long the body.
They wiped out all support for previous 360 XID wheels, which is ridiculous. And they don't seem to be planning on making a new entry-level type wheel, like your official 360 one.
There are only two Xbox One supported wheels at the moment, the Thrustmaster and Madcatz (sorry for it being a link to Kotaku, but it is a good basic run down, with people talking about Microsoft's decision to stop supporting 360 wheels in the comments).
They're both $400 USD. I honestly couldn't tell you how good they are myself, but I'd imagine you'd be able to use the pedals, since the official 360 wheel's pedals were dogshit, these are more like just poop - useable (but no clutch pedal still).
But the Madcatz does have a lap base fitting you can use, and it is wireless. The Thrustmaster's more bulky and isn't wireless, would definitely need to be used on something solid like a desk or a rig.
So the tradeoff is that the Madcatz is more plasticy but more portable, tuneable, and comfortable to use (arguably). Then the TM is more solid, compatible with PC, and is sure to last on the outboard hardware side of things (TM's history with its internals breaking is a different story)
Here's an in-depth review of the Madcatz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kyHwH5zCOk
And the TM:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhwe1DWF9x0
There should be more wheels coming down the line in the future, but I'm pretty sure it'll be no less than $300. I don't know why these companies seem to think there's no market for a solid entry-level wheel ~$150. People would eat it up.
Oh wow, as I was finishing up this post, I checked prices for the two wheels online and found a new wheel that's coming out October 15th, a "Hori wheel" that's $90, check it out:
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Racing-Wheel-One-Xbox/dp/B00L6AVN6S/ref=zg_bs_6469287011_5
Seems like it'll be what you'll want if you don't mind the lack of FFB.
Also, the TM wheel is only $324 USD on Amazon at the moment:

They had some reliability issues when it first came out, but perhaps they've sorted that out now. When the wheel is working, it's AMAZING! It does have a 2 year warranty if you do run into issues.
This is the cheapest decent wheel that I know of that works on both- Thrustmaster TX

No official price seen for the Mad Catz wheel. But the $400 is confirmed for the Thrustmaster Wheel... listed on Amazon
My concern is that these wheels might be exclusive to Xbox One, not usable with PC, PS4, etc. There's no way I'd pay more than $100-150 if that was true. Honestly since they've basically shooed away the people who bought the CSR wheels for Forza 4 and Xbox 360... I have no confidence in Microsoft and the Xbox One now.
TX458
Thrustmaster T3PA
Looks like you can get both shipped from Amazon new for around $400-$450. Unless I'm missing something, that's not around $800.
the thrusmaster tx is compatible with pc and xbox one
It's fabulous. Hibernation is greatly underrated.

You think you are playing against guys that are running stock controllers 100% of the time? You are often playing against mouse and keyboard players too.
I am running high end LAN cable to my Xbox and my controller is WIRED. No client side lag. No Bluetooth delay.

What a deal
Edit: but in all honesty the title on the Dell page is "Dell - Hard drive - 36 GB - hot-swap - 3.5-inch - SAS - 15000 rpm - for Dell PowerEdge 2950 (3.5-inch)" which this is not a HDD unless the controller has some flash storage or huge updates.
Edit#2: Well Amazon has a decent amount of 1 star reviews which may steer people away from these controllers.
You just need either the Play and Charge Kit or Wired Controller (older)/Wired Controller (newer) or a Sweet Third-Party Controller
I do want that controller too. I seen it somewhere long time ago and I think it sells in custom case, not the whole controller.
Edit: http://www.amazon.com/PDP-Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox/dp/B00ZJRHSRW
it's this kind of low level hardware, i wouldn't advise you to buy one as the buttons are too small and the gameplay impossible on this. You should take a wireless 8bitdo if you want a themed controller otherwise you can go with any kind of controller you want such as a Afterglow Prismatic Xbox One controller they often are in sale and look way better (it's not wireless thought).
Hope that helps
Amazon have some, as long as you are willing to pay at least 50 pounds more than they are supposed to cost. Robbing arseholes! Overpriced elite controllers
It's from Microsoft. Here's a link on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56
The Official MS one. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56
Only the standard Xbox methods, double tap + Y, "Xbox take Screenshot," or the X1 button on the chatpad.
That's unfortunate....I really like the thing.
This thing also has the buttons: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56 ...but it's bulkier, and the main buttons you'd want are smaller.
it's a matter of price in the end, but here's my ramblings.
The Logitech path sets you back $300 for a complete set.
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Dual-Motor-Feedback-Driving-Responsive/dp/B016JBE8LU/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1539590704&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=logitech%2Bg29&amp;th=1
However, there's no upgrade path from there, and if you decide to eventually upgrade to another wheel, you'll need an adapter for both the pedals and the shifter. Additionally, the FFB is not as good as the T300RS or equivalent systems and the shifter is worse than the TH8A, and is 6+R, not 7+R.
The Thrustmaster equivalent would be a T300RS or TX System (they are apparently equivalent).
Including the Shifter, it sets you back about $550.
https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Leather-Premium-Official/dp/B0151K6FPC/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1539590463&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=thrustmaster%2Btx&amp;th=1
Comparing to the Logitech, the FFB is better. From what I've heard, the pedals are similar in quality.
I've used the G27 shifter and I own the TH8A and the thrustmaster is quite a bit better, and can be put in sequential mode as well. Additionally, it can be used as an analogue handbrake, which is pretty cool for the price. The shifter can also be connected by USB, so that's a component you'd be able to keep should you decide to upgrade in the future.
Also, Thrustmaster makes a variety of bases, some more high-end than what you're looking at, so you'd have an upgrade path without switching manufacturers and having to find a solution for pedals.
As for the TMX Pro, the wheel + the T3pa pedals + the shifter cost around $415. (look at the proposed sets)
https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Force-Feedback-racing-wheel-WINDOWS/dp/B01CI97DNM/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1539591097&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=thrustmaster+tmx+pro
However, I would not buy the T3pa's separately. If you buy separate pedals, I'd go for the Fanatec CSL Elite Pedals with the Loadcell Brake. They are more expensive, but a lot better and have USB connectivity, should you switch manufacturers in the future.
https://www.fanatec.com/us-en/pedals/csl-elite-pedals-lc-usa.html
I hope I've not confused you too much.
In conclusion:
Logitech
-> Ok Force Feedback, Ok Pedals, Meh Shifter $300 | No Upgrade Path
T300 (VG TX) incl T3pa + TH8A
-> Good Force Feedback, Ok Pedals, Good Shifter $550 | Upgrade Path for Wheel base/Rims
TMX Pro + Fanatec CSL Elite LC + TH8A ->
Ok Force Feedback, Great Pedals, Good Shifter $550 | Upgrade Path unlimited, all separately connected via USB.
All that said, it depends a lot on how serious you want to get. If you already know that you're not going to go full sim-racing, the Logitech is going to be plenty good enough for you.
However, if you want to start sim-racing seriously, and are looking at games such as iRacing, RaceRoom, rFactor, pCars, Assetto Corsa and the like, good pedals make you quicker than good wheels
What is your budget? Razer has some very good xb1 controllers, the wildcat for example. They are expensive but have mechanical buttons and dpad. The wildcat is wireless and the new one (can't remember the name right now) is wired
Edit: got both of them right here

Get either the Xbox media remote or the larger one from PDP.

here you go
The PS3 and Xbox have special media remotes for them that look and operate just like normal remotes.
I think the Xbox One even has infrared so you can literally use any universal remote on it.
Dedicated Blu-ray players are just trash, they often run Java on weak hardware and never get software updates despite talking to the internet. They're frankly a vulnerability. Sure you may find a good one among hundreds but why bother when an Xbox is so cheap and you already have one.
Edit: here's the official one:

Looks good to me
> I originally was looking forward to the fact that I wouldn't need to use the Xbox 1 controller to watch something and have the TV remote but this not being able to switch profiles is a total deal breaker.
I bought one of these and love it. It is a huge step up from an xbox media remote .
https://www.amazon.com/Talon-Media-Remote-Control-Blu-ray-Streaming/dp/B01GOK34SO/
I set up my xbox to turn my tv/receiver on and off and then use that remote for everything else.
Looks like this one should match the Go pretty well.
You can see the D-Pad pretty well in the product pictures: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Wireless-Controller/dp/B00CMQTUSS
I would expect a used one would cost at least $30-$40
If you like the Xbox controller, there are three easily solutions for you, by increasing price:
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Wired-Controller/dp/B003ZSN600
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Wireless-Controller-Windows/dp/B004QRKWKQ
http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Wireless-Controller/dp/B00CMQTUSS
I use the middle option, as I prefer not having any more cables than necessary, plus any Xbox 360 controller can connect to the wireless dongle, meaning you can buy extra, new model controllers (not Xbox One) or use any controllers you can borrow. The Xbox One controller must remain plugged in via Micro-USB (included,) and the wired Xbox 360 controller obviously is wired. Microsoft has released drivers for all three and they should install automatically. For right now, there is no way to connect an Xbox One controller wirelessly.
For PS3, you will have to find a driver package. I used motioninjoy so I could use my PS3 controller for emulating SNES games, but it messed up other drivers and I ended up uninstalling it and using my 360 controller exclusively. Once the drivers are installed, you can use a Bluetooth dongle to connect the PS3 controller to the PC wirelessly.
A PS4 controller can also be used via Bluetooth, but requires DS4Tool which maps the buttons on the DS4 controller to their corresponding Xbox 360 buttons.
this controller with the optional accessory is the best i have came across so far.

wooh upgrade tek that peeceee!
My point is that there is a TX version that does have FFB. See here
Furthermore, my point is that OP is not referring to the TX version, so the version he is referring to does not have FFB. We are already in agreement here.
Thank you for all the help, I ended up buying this http://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Ferrari-Edition-xbox-one-Windows/dp/B00ENFVS5Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 after doing some research on it. Seems really good and I plan on getting a different steering wheel for it in the future
If it were me, I would get this:
https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Ferrari-458-Italia/dp/B00ENFVS5Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1480174329&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=thrustmaster%2Btx&amp;th=1
The pedals are meh, but at least you get the TX base which I would place awfully close to the T500, but significantly better than the G29.
https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Ferrari-458-Italia/dp/B00ENFVS5Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479573199&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=thrustmaster+tx
This is a much better wheel than the logitech and in a sale at the moment ($300 currently) so it's only $50 over your budget.
You will have to do alot of upgrading if you ever plan to get a shifter for it though (T3PA pedals, TH8A shifter for a combined extra ~$200).
You can get it with a leather wheel trim and T3PA pedals as standard for $450: https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Leather-Premium-Official/dp/B0151K6FPC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479573211&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=thrustmaster+tx
Keep an eye out for it being reduced in the Black Friday sales next week.
If you can't afford that, the G920 with Driving Force shifter is a decent fallback.
Logitech MOMO and DFGT are at or slightly below this price range, but they're two good ones. I've used a MOMO for close to a decade now and it's been a solid wheel. DFGT is superior to the MOMO in most ways except the MOMO has actual paddles instead of just buttons, if that's a big deal for you. DFGT is like 2x the cost of a MOMO though.
If you can save up another $100-$150, or wait for a sale, you could get a Thrustmaster TX or T300RS. They share the same base, and it's one of the best on the market (TX's wheel isn't the best, but it can be replaced). It's miles ahead of all the Logitech wheels (G27,Momo,DFGT) because it's a servomotor with a belt. Logitech wheels are geared which makes the FFB less precise, weaker, and gives them a "notchy" feeling.
IMO if you're looking for a low-cost wheel to test the waters or are new to racing, get a MOMO cause they're very cheap (~$80-$90, vs $150 for a DFGT) and good enough. The MOMO's low steering lock actually makes it well suited for F1 and other open wheel racing. If you are still playing a lot after a year or whatever, put the money you saved on getting the MOMO cheaply into getting a TX/T300RS.
It works for Forza too! There are even cheaper ones that only work on Xbone (although I wouldn't recommend that one due to lack of force feedback and no option for a manual shifter).
What audio equipment do you have?
here you have brother without force feedback https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-Ferrari-Spider-Racing-Wheel/dp/B00IVHQ0KI
I can't recommend these more: Click
I have changed them on both of my DS4 and they are awesome. You can actually get them cheaper if you don't feel like spending $15 on them. Check sites like http://tinydeal.com or http://dx.com
For start, turn off any and all forms of auto-aiming where possible, as it's inconsistent in different games and really only helps if you're very casual and have blocks for hands. Start your aiming sensitivity on a lowish setting, then increase it by a notch every few games until you're at the highest one you can comfortably snipe with.
Also do yourself a favour and get yourself a pair of Xbone analogue stick caps and put them in your DualShock 4. It's very cheap and easy to do, sticks and instructions here:
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Black-Xbox-Controller-Analogue-Thumbsticks/dp/B00JQX91HU
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DualShock+4+Analog+Stick+Covers+Replacement/22675
Say what you will about Microsoft, but they understand gamepad ergonomics far better than Sony do... the reason that the left stick is high on their controllers is because that's a more natural resting position for your thumb that causes less strain when pressing the stick forward for long periods of time, which is what you're doing in most games, most of the time. Getting Xbone caps won't give you that but it will give you the other smart little touches they added.
Look at this photo and note the differences between those sticks and the default ones:
http://i.imgur.com/SJCIyVB.jpg
Concaves: it's harder to pull something than to push it, and pulling something without a proper grip is even harder again. You get a proper grip by applying force perpendicular to the object you're pulling, not sliding parallel against the sides. The convex stick tops that Sony uses ensures that there's always a degree of sliding against it, which is obviously not as effective as getting a proper hold into a concave like you can in the Xbone sticks.
Ledge: there's also a hard "ledge" at the outer edge of the concave that makes sure your finger doesn't slip off the stick, as opposed to the soft bump that allows more slippage on Sony's sticks.
Textured edges: these are there to ensure that you have as much grip as possible while moving he stick up and down, as your thumb doesn't push/pull from directly below or above the stick, but off to the side at an angle. While Sony's sticks have a texture too, the softer blunt bumps found on it will never allow as much grip as the harder sharp texture on MS's sticks.
You're probably thinking these are tiny things that won't make a difference to your aiming, but in terms of ergonomics, those little things all work together to make a pretty big difference. Try the yoga mission in GTA V with both sets of sticks and it'll become very obvious which ones allow a better, more precise grip.

You made me check around Amazon :P.
Very Interesting. Infact, you can get this Xbox One Controller + Cable for $37, though it seems to be the Old version. You can also get this Xbox One "Wireless" Controller for $46. The difference?
> - Now features a 3.5 millimeter stereo headset jack that lets you plug your favorite gaming headset right into the controller.
> - Now the controller can be updated wirelessly instead of needing to connect a USB cable.
> - Contents: Wireless Controller and AA Batteries (2)
So if you care about those things it will cost you $9 more :P. Though, some of the reviewers also say the Bumpers are better, they look exactly the same in the photo, though I think it's actually a render and not a photo, so maybe they are better? I actually have this controller in specific though I'm pretty sure it's the same as the old version as it doesn't have the 3.5mm port. I don't have any complaints with the bumpers, and after many months of frequent use they show no signs of wear (which some reviewers seem to complain about with the old version).
Here's the Amazon link to it.

Bonus content is an in-game "Supply Drop" which are usually earned for leveling up. They give you random cosmetics items and guns/attachments.

If you're on Xbox get the Xbox One Elite, not a SCUF. It comes stock with all the customization options that would cost you over $200 to upgrade to with a SCUF.
Unless you value cosmetic customization more, then SCUFs are great.
Will this do?

Dang. Well, if I have to pony up for an official controller anyway, I may as well go big or go home.
I bought one on Amazon 3 days ago.
Still 3 left in stock. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZDNNRB8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1518463997&amp;sr=8-3&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=xbox+elite+controller&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41iMgbuVGML&amp;ref=plSrch
Yea it's a very common thread there, and you can't blame people, you'd expect better from a $150 controller than some flimsy parts and a 90 day warranty. Seems like people either love it or get a crappy one. It's what's kept me from getting one even though some of my friends rave about it
Also check Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZDNNRB8/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8
It has like 20% 1 star reviews, seems like meh build quality and/or qc
If you can afford the exorbitant price of $150, the Xbox Elite Controller is downright amazing. It feels great, you can map any button to any other button, you can switch out dpads and thumbsticks, and it has a nice weight to it. comes with a really long USB cable too, and it works with the Xbox One Wireless Adapter if I'm not mistaken. Here's the Amazon link- http://amzn.com/B00ZDNNRB8
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox/dp/B00ZJRHSRW
I have this. It can't do that but it can do color cycle.
I highly recommend this controller: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZJRHSRW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Q9cYxb2D9MTF6
I got mine back in I think October from Argos and no problems. 3.5mm jack, volume and chat balance on the dpad, easy mute. I much prefer it to the official controllers.
..... you should pick up a RGB LED strip for behind your monitors, it looks too dark there. And you could really use a RGB underglow for your desk AND computer. Ohh, and your controller isn't RGB...
Ps. Thank me later ;)
Any Xbox compatible 3.5mm Jack headset can be used with the official Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. They are about £16 ($20?) on Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Xbox-Stereo-Headset-Adapter/dp/B00I41H7US/). This plugs into the rectangular port on the bottom of the controller, and gives you mute, chat / game balance, and volume up / down buttons. It's very simple to use, and gives you full control over the volume balance for game and chat.
You can also get aftermarket pads from PDP, which have a 3.5mm socket for any Xbox compatible headset with a 3.5mm Jack, and they have a special dedicated button by the right thumb stick, which when double tapped, mutes the mic, and when held down, turns the D-Pad into a volume up / down and chat / game balance control.
This is what I use, and it is so easy to adjust game and chat volume on the fly, I'm actually surprised MS don't do something similar - it's such an intuitive way of doing it. One thing though, is that I don't know whether PDP do a wireless pad with this feature, (I'd have to google it) as the ones I've seen on Amazon are wired (as is mine). They are only about £35 / $40 or less though, and the cable means the controller is light, and never runs out of battery! :D
Edit - Had a look and can't find a wireless version, but this is the one I have, and I am very pleased with it, cable is nice and long, and fits securely. It feels a bit different to a regular controller, some things better, some things worse. The home button is much easier to use, but the triggers are flatter. Buy from Amazon with free delivery and try it? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox-x/dp/B00ZJRHSRW/
In stock from the 15th, £120
Get the official chatpad. That's what I use. Then you don't have to worry about wires and you are still able to plug a headset in if needed. There are also two programmable buttons at the bottom for whatever your heart desires (I use mine to turn the TV volume up and down). It's also backlit and times put after about 10 seconds of no use.
Xbox One Chatpad
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0136JPA56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_GNTjzbF6J8BPK
I'm surprised they're not at major retailers. I can have one delivered to me within 2 hours from Amazon Prime Now. $24.99 plus taxes, delivery fee and tip so it ends up being closer to $35 anyway but if they have it I bet some places you're not thinking to check will have them for the standard $24.99 price.
Edit: you can also get this - https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56
That has a 3.5mm jack and the same audio controls as the adapter plus a keyboard and it also comes with a cheap headset. My friend just got one to replace his headset adapter that stopped working.
Wireless KBM is probably what I would end up doing.
But really I was considering getting one of these for my controller, if it worked for Skyrim hotkeys. I haven't had a chance to read up on it yet.
Have never tried playing Skyrim via controller or on big screen, because I need muh hotkeys, and Dragons Dogma is unplayable via KBM, imo (the UI nav is ridiculous, to say the least), so was looking for a solution to play both from my couch with a controller, for funsies.
Also, was finally checking out the Lock On mod the other day. Looks like it'd be great for couch warrior, joystick combat.
Also, if you have this adapter on your Xbone controller, you can type from the controller, too, therefore completely replacing your mouse and keyboard.
Ahh nice. You should be able to get a pretty decent upgrade.
Thrustmaster is probably what you are going to want to be on the lookout for, since they have some nice stuff in the $3-400 range when it goes on sale. The other option would generally be a Logitech G29 or G920, but while being solid, arent really worth more than $200. The Thrustmaster stuff will be better overall.
To that note, check out this link at Amazon. This was the sale I mentioned above, although it is out of stock right now. It was a bundle of Pedals (roughly $100 if bought separately), a Shifter (roughly $130), the wheel base (roughly $200+), and a wheel rim (roughly $150) for ~$475. If you have heard the term insta-buy, this was it. I would check this every day or two to see if it comes back in stock.
Around BF, Thrustmaster will usually have a variety of deals on the T300. There are a variety of wheel rims it might come with, or a variety of pedals. I would highly recommend getting the pedal set with 3 pedals (clutch, brake, and throttle). The 2 pedal set (brake, throttle) is really low quality and just cheap plastic.
Few bundles include the shifter, so dont go out of your way looking for everything I mentioned in the bundle above. For a TM bundle, it will include the pedals, wheel, and rim for ~$3-400 depending on what exactly is included. The bundle above included a different rim than what normally comes with the wheel base, so it's up to you to figure out what you would be most interested in.
To give you an idea, this might be a good bundle that you might be interested in. Might be under $400 for BF. The bundle I listed above comes with a Ferrari branded rim while this is just a generic TM rim made with leather. Still high quality though and still better than the normal rim is usually sold.
This sort of stuff goes on sale at Amazon every so often, so keep an eye out before BF too.
The Thrustmaster TX is another option. I think it's a bit better quality than the Logitech and the feedback is better. It's a bit cheaper at $299 BUT the pedal set doesn't have a clutch. If you want the 3 pedal set it's another $150. I love my TX and I've replaced the standard wheel with the VG leather wheel (also $150,) and it feels great. You can also get the TX with the VG wheel and the 3 pedal set for $469 http://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Leather-Premium-Official/dp/B0151K6FPC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1463535677&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=thrustmaster+vg
There is also an addon H-pattern shifter available for $100. Yes you can spend a good bit of money on your setup but it's an absolute must for all but the most casual racing gamer.
Unfortunately, $300+ is the rock-bottom price to get into a decent force feedback wheel on Xbox One. However, Fanatec is the top of the line brand, so their stuff is expected to be the most expensive options. You can find the Thrustmaster TX for around $300 that comes with a base, a wheel, and basic 2-pedal set. It can be upgraded to other rims, and they also sell better 3-pedal sets as well as nice h-shifter addons for a little over $100 each. Thrustmaster has launched a new bundle, however, that's a much better bundle overall but is more expensive and now that old $300 bundle is getting harder to find.
As for the Reasnow Crosshair converter thing - I have no personal experience with these so I'm no expert, but I have read enough about them to know I'd never want to use one. All they're doing is tricking your Xbox into thinking the G27 is a normal controller. Much (or all) of the force feedback detail is completely lost, and you're going to be faced with having to do customer configurations and control setups in every single game, rather than have the wheel "just work" when you start.
Thrustmaster offers a TX bundled with leather rim and T3PAs that starts at 470. Should be discounted (was last yearl
If you can find the tx with the leather wheel and better pedals it makes it an even better setup. The price is generally much cheaper than buying everything separate but I don't think it's available in all regions. As a TX owner you will not regret buying this wheel.

This is a bo4 modded controller Bo4 xbox controller
There is also accessories that can basically mod the controller for prices as low as 27 on Amazon. (I’ve seen them at walmart for 30. Xbox strikepack
The strikerpack can use rapid fire and jitter and I’m pretty sure it has Autorun.
Ps4 options are also the strike pack. Ps4 strikepack
Or another modded controller. Ps4
If you want a modded elite/scuf they are also possible to get. Elite Controller
this one isn’t exactly a scuf but it has paddles
Ps don’t hate cuz I have a modded controller, I only use mine for the paddles and in custom games to mess with buddies.
I recently just picked this up and also mapped the paddles to A and B. Did you find yourself still pushing the buttons instead of the paddles?
Also, can you share your sensitivity/ADS settings? I’ve been messing with both for a while and can’t seem to find a sweet spot. Im looking for similar to cod ADS since I’m so used to gunfire in that game. Nice W!

You can get a wired Xbox controller for $25
The Logitech one is like $15.
You can then use it forever
I bought a PowerA controller and while I like the ergonomics of it, the construction quality isn't the greatest. The A button started to stick after a short time and one of the bumpers started to misfunction. I had a super hard time getting it replaced through their customer service and eventually had to bitch at their twitter account to get a replacement one. Then the A button started to jam quickly on that one too. I was able to open it up and do some work and fix it, but that obviously isn't ideal.
I'd suggest just getting a new controller if you still have the option to at best buy until they improve their quality standards.
If you are looking for a decent cheap controller, I've heard good things about this one.

Although I don't personally own it.
I use this controller addon to add two paddles to the back of my Xbox controller for Rocket League. The problem is, after a month or so, the paddle I use for boost always ends up breaking. I've just spent a few days iterating and have come up with a replacement that feels even better than the original.

Best controller? I'd definitely say the xbox one elite because of the paddles on the back. You could also just get a battery pack that has paddles. They're a lot cheaper, and work with your existing controller.
The paddles are important because they allow you to keep your thumb on the right analog stick. I switched from controller to MKB in open beta because I didn't like the idea of having to move my thumb to GBC, dodge, or feint.
I'm not sure about best controller settings. You definitely want to lower your dead zone setting to probably 5. Someone might be able to recommend good controller settings.

This is the one I use. I got mine at my local Walmart for like $4 cheaper but they’re the same thing. The downsides of it are it has to be plugged in all the time (it comes with a 10ft cord) and I can’t figure out any of the other things it does lol
It’s supposed to be able to a whole bunch of stuff, but I just use it for the paddles.
Edit: I forgot to add that sometimes my friends complain about static or feedback coming from my mic, but I just unplug and re-plug it in, and it fixes it.

you should use the strike pack from collective minds i use it and i feel its buttons are way better than the scuf ones, only down side is that the controller must be plugged in when you use it (PS4 XB1 )
I know people who have this for PS4 and love it, but can't speak for the XB1 version so be sure to read reviews.

https://www.amazon.com/Bionik-Quickshot-for-Xbox-One/dp/B01N1QO0TS/
i tried the elite controller but just wasn't a fan of how all the parts could come off, so i stick to a regular controller since they're way easier to replace and i love the bluetooth functionality. i use the x1 controller with the snes classic and emulators on my android devices and it works wonderfully.
i could understand if you got too used to the paddles though. i would have loved those when i was really into online fps a while ago.
I use this for the xbox works great. amazon.com/Collective-Minds-Xbox-One-Mod-Pack

I just change the A button the the RB button, then tape the buttons down. Let it go overnight while I sleep.
Amazon Basics have a wired controller if you have prime. I think it’s like $20 bucks? I’ll link it in a sec I’m on mobile. It looks like it has a unremovable cable unlike the PowerA branded ones I’ve seen.

The controller works normally on my PC, yes. Actually it turns out that it's not an Xbox 360 wired controller, it's an Xbox One wired controller, made by Amazonbasics.
If you have a PS4 Controller, there are ways to get it working through 3rd party programs such as DS4Windows. You can also get a fake XB controller and that I think would work, but don't count me on that. (https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Xbox-One-Wired-Controller-Black/dp/B07CZTVHY8)

I have a wired 360 pad (but /u/Vulfilla posted a link to the wireless one) and I can say that I am very happy with the ergonomics, I have an old one with both sticks on the bottom, like the Logitech, and I feel that the 360 layout of having one stick at the top is much more comforable.
You might consider an Xbox One Controller, which people describe as being even more ergonomic, or a PS4 Controller.
My Favorites are the Xbox 360 controller and the Xbox One. Those two work with every game and the buttons show up correctly since both Windows and Xbox are made by Microsoft.

I actually think i got a great deal, i got the xb1 on ebay for $314 (With kinect) 2 controllers and 3 games. Bought forza horizon 2 and this thing http://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Ferrari-Edition-xbox-one-Windows/dp/B00ENFVS5Y and i can't complain.
Please note the differences between the Thrustmaster TX and the TMX.
The one you want is definitely the TX , with swappable rims and pedals, and the optional 6 speed shifter.
I suspect most (some?) of the people mentioning the TMX are actually referring to the TX: https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Ferrari-xbox-one-Windows/dp/B00ENFVS5Y
Edit:
TMX and TMX Pro are the same entry tier wheel, except for the pedals (Pro has the 3 pedal model)
TX is the mid level THrustMaster wheel (swappable rims). You should add the 3TPA pedals to that.

It is The Thrustmaster TX 458 Italia set.

Yea heres a link to the TX if youre reusing your pedals.

Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel for Xbox One https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IVHQ0KI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_oNewDbT5HBRHW
this is a good wheel

Just my two cents as a new boot in Sim Racing, but I think you may be over estimating the necessity of FFB at first. Once you have it, you know how much it adds to the immersion, and that may be coloring your opinion as to how important it is to a new person.
My point is this. I've always liked racing games but never had a proper wheel. I was stuck with those damn controllers. (Yes, I'm on console. I left the PC Master race years ago.) So a month ago I finally said "screw it", and bought this:
Thrustmaster VG Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel
I have had so much fun over the last month that I decided to jump into a little deeper end of the pool and bought this:
Thrustmaster TX Servo Base, Leather Steering Wheel, Gearbox Shifter, & Pedal Bundle
The FFB is so much fun, but I realized I probably appreciate it more because I haven't had it for the last month. On top of that, my wife (casual at best) hates it. She wants to use the non-FFB instead when she wants to race.
So that's my opinion on that. Just my experience and some food for thought. I'm glad to see you're trying to bring new people in like myself. I'm having a blast. I'm even building my own rig now. Yay for working with AutoCAD most days. :)
you can get this one for $100: rating is good and it says its compatible: http://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Ferrari-458-Spider-Racing-Wheel/dp/B00IVHQ0KI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1405473941&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=steering+wheels+xbox+one
I just can't find it on the website. Unless I'm downloading something specifically for a wheel other than the VG Ferrari 458 Spider, I can't find any sort of software to download at all. I can't find any mention of a 'Thrustmaster profiler' at all. Sorry for all the questions! It is much appreciated.

FWIW, it's $79 new on Amazon now:

yup. i've grabbed this multiple times (they sell a 4x pack too http://www.amazon.com/Original-Black-Xbox-Controller-Analogue-Thumbsticks/dp/B00JQX91HU)
i've converted 6 controllers so far for myself and friends and these are the go-to sticks.
I put the xbox one thumb sticks into both of my DS4's and couldn't be happier. They can be found for about the same price as a pack of grips

I doubt you’re going to find MS replacements. They don’t want you to repair your controller but buy a new one.

I used to use these in my PS4 controllers.
E-MODS GAMING® 4x Replacement Black Analogue Thumbsticks for Xbox One/ PS4 Controllers
After looking up the replacement sticks specifically for the Switch Pro on Amazon, it looks like they share the same design but the skirt size and depth might not work. If they aren’t just right, they’ll come in contact with the rocker or the casing and be useless.
You might be interested in knowing that most analogue pots (the things that the analog joysticks are put onto) are reverse compatible with other analog sticks.
That is to say, if you have a controller you prefer for hand feel, and another you prefer for analogue stick feel, odds are you can buy the analogue joysticks online and swap 'em out. It's like eight screws, and they pop right off.
On this Amazon page, you can see someone replaced the PS4 joysticks with the XBox One joysticks.
My 360 controller's joystick broke, and I replaced with the joystick from a Duke. It works!
This happens to all of mine. Eventually it will start hanging on the outer shell and not return to center by itself. I bought these. Takes 10 minutes to swap out.

This is probably higher quality than the regular viersion, but I've never used one.
edit: Actually, reviews don't look good. Idk.
no worries fam just grab one of these and you can play with one hand. you can remap any button fuction anywhere and there are 4 paddles on the back (two on the right) so the only issue might be using the left stick for looking but no one does that anyways. Also chat might be difficult but hey thats what rehab is for.

Amazon says "hello."
Have you read all of the reviews on amazon? Is the 90 day warranty true? $150 is a little steep when you consider that the Xbox 1 is selling for under 200 used with a controller. I'd guess the price drops later this year, and definitely next.

Pretty sure this is the exact 9or very similar model) https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox/dp/B00ZJRHSRW

i have an afterglow xbox controller and i'll try a few different things, hasn't bothered me to much but if i ever want to get better at wall riding i will need to try something different i uppose
I don't know about Playstation controllers, but I use a 3rd party Xbox 360 controller that works well:

I personally like the Afterglow controllers because they're well built, proportioned correctly, and feel good in the hands. Also, the annoying glow effect can be disabled...there's a button on the back side that changes modes from on constantly, flashing /w rumble, or off completely.

It's £119.99 here. Just need to wait a week or two for them to get stock in. No biggie. Worth the wait.
Check your local Argos, or three.

You can get the Microsoft one that has a lot more features and an extra mic for $30, or you can get an Ortz chatpad that has less features and is $25. I really like my Microsoft one. You can map keys to do certain things, like pull up the friends list or take a game clip in the push of a button. There's a lot of complaints on Amazon about the Microsoft one but I've never had a problem.

You can bluetooth with the PS3/4. My old Turtle Beach Earforce PX5 headset only needed a chat wire for the xbox one and xbox 360.
The headset I want does game audio along with chat. So it's better than a standard headset.
An alternative to getting the chat adapter is this it has the same use as a headset adapter with the keyboard.
So, you mean that I could hear my own voice (and manage game/players volume) with this accessory ?

Forza is great, so far. The graphics are truly jaw dropping. The driving mechanics are good as well (I'm not a huge racer and am only using a controller . . . but, I'm thinking of getting a thrustmaster vg tx for this game).
Forza was the first game I played on my shiny new Xbox. I played for only two days then wanted to give Halo a quick try. LOL. Halo has sucked up all of my time since then. I'll get back to Forza after this, though.

That tmx wheel is pretty entry level wheel and pedals are horrible and no clutch.
I recommend to go atleast t300rs or tx but those also have poor pedals. But you can buy tx base + rim + better thrustmaster pedals.
Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Leather-Premium-Official/dp/B0151K6FPC/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479745654&amp;sr=1-3&amp;th=1
t300 and tx are belt driven wheels and those are much smoother than new logitech wheels wich are basicly old g27 wheels with new colors.
> Thrustmaster TX
this wheel? https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0151K6FPC/ref=olp_twister_child?ie=UTF8&amp;mv_style_name=1
I definitely think you could get a quality wheel for $300. The nice thing about Thrustmaster is that you can buy them from other retailers, such as Amazon, Walmart, Gamestop, Best Buy, etc.
I know I was watching this T300 w/ Alcantara because it fell to $300 in December of 2016. Similarly, this TX w/ leather wheel dropped to $300 in November 2016.
I mean there's this thing here But it's nothing like the actual Elite Controller. As a proud (and very cheap) owner of the Elite controller, I'll tell you it's definitely worth that $150.
I didnt spend 300. I bought scuf extended domed sticks ($13) and scuf grips and trigger stops ($25) and installed them on my controller that came with the console. ($0). So $28 for a better preforming controller (In my mind at least). Debating on wether or not to get paddles for around $50 and installing them. $78 for a homemade Scuf is a lot better than 300 IMO.

Been using this as an alternative. Leagues better. And when the shitty controller breaks you can put it on a new one. Collective Minds XBOX ONE Strike Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01720MZJO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QEF0xbRNKD8NY
Had it since December. Has so many things you can do with it, from rebinding to rapid fire.
also, behold add on paddles for xbone controller. i have them, they work great
I would love the Elite, but really just can't afford it. I'm considering buying the strike pack controller modifier- Has anyone tried one of these? I would love to hear some input on it
Personally don't like either. The Elite's thumbsticks are too loose for me, and the paddles are mushy and don't click or provide feedback when you push them. They are also incredibly sensative.
Scuf my paddles stopped working 4 months in and was told it was out of warranty, tough shit.
Currently I have this on my default controller and absolutely love it for $35. If my controller goes bad I only have to replace that
amazon
I bought this for my Xbox One controller (I play on PC) https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-XBOX-ONE-Strike-Pack/dp/B01720MZJO. It adds paddles and is relatively affordable compared to the Elite.
Definitely worth it IMO -- makes GB tech infinitely easier and allows you to keep your right thumb on the stick most of the time.
You mean this?
Do not, and I mean DO NOT, get a Scuf controller. They are overpriced and breaks insanely quickly. You'll be lucky to last even a couple months with one.
Razer are an okay product. I don't particularly like them. They are popular only in name alone, imo.
I'd say, even if you don't run Windows 10, still go for the X1 Elite controller. The default button mapping is fine and it's the only controller in the market that feels genuinely premium and will last at least a year.
But if you still refuse the X1 Elite controller, your best option are one of these.

You could try out these, they are far cheaper and do the same thing. Just bought one to fuck around with hasn't arrived yet, doubt I'll use them for a long time as I have a 4button cinch.

Here try this..... Much cheaper alternative and offers a lot of the perks of a scuf... If you would like to go even further with the controller, scuf does a package which I forgot the name that comes with back grip plates with adjustable trigger stops...
Hope this helps

this one?
amazon has the Razer Wildcat for $78 right now :)
Here is a Razor wired controller that is similar to the elite, at only 83$ it’s actually really nice. https://www.amazon.com/Wildcat-eSports-Customizable-Premium-Controller-Programmable/dp/B0177G3QV4

Cheaper, can still work for XBone and PC, but will feel a little more awkward in your hands.
Man, I was super stoked to hear about a controller that had mechanical switches for its buttons, but the reviews on Amazon indicate poor build quality/quality control with a high rate of dead/stuck bumpers/joysticks/triggers/etc, and controllers breaking after only a few days or weeks of use. Thanks a ton for the recommendation though, I am definitely adding this one to my list of controllers to look out for. But for now, I continue on my quest to find something better...
Your assumtion wasn't wrong. It goes for 150USD on Amazon, so it's just really expensive in general. The extra 55USD are probably because of taxes, though. It's expensive to live in Sweden :c
I have owned both the Elite and the Razer Wildcat. They both have a pros, maybe some cons depending on your perspective. Personally I really enjoy my Razer. Customer service is is great. Which leads me to my warning of Microsoft, the controllers warranty is 3 months and a quick Google search will lead you to horror stories.
Amazon.
Do your research and make a decision, but if you game regularly and are even somewhat competitive about it. The controller updates are worth the hassle.

PDP Talon Media Remote for Xbox One
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01GOK34SO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_KDLJDb06E97QS
Yeah. The Xbox One S has an infared blaster I'm pretty sure. So it should work with pretty much any TV. That's how it controls cable boxes if you use that.
This is the remote I have https://www.amazon.com/Talon-Media-Remote-Control-Blu-ray-Streaming/dp/B01GOK34SO/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=VTZZ81ZWAAS87B8NV6JP&amp;dpID=315Qbn6Jr8L&amp;preST=_SY300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=detail
I have an offbrand sound bar with only optical like yourself, I connected it to my xbox since that was mostly what we use for entertainment and games and we controlled the volume with this remote
&#x200B;
I got a PS4 Pro and a Switch so when using those inputs there was no soundbar action happening, I connected it to my TV and when it's on my xbox I still use same remote to control the volume, when on a different input I have to use the soundbar remote unfortunately, there isn't a way to control an optical cable soundbar with a different remote
So, besides the size, why is this better than (for example) this one? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GOK34SO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_SxO5CbRKQH274
I use this remote and it works flawlessly. https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Talon-Media-Remote-Xbox-One/dp/B01GOK34SO
This is the remote that I have and it does all that you described. Only 20 bucks.
PDP Talon Media Remote Control for Xbox One, TV, Blu-ray & Streaming Media
I would add Eventghost to the list (based on Phyton), with that you can automate some tasks (example.... if this exebutable is opened do this and that or else..... if this window is focused or non focused do this or that and stuff like that).
&#x200B;
As for the remote, I would recommend you the non official "Xbox Remote" from PDP (Performance Designed Products) with combination of FLIRC USB, that mentioned remote even has "motion backlit" for all the buttons (white) just like "keyboard backlits" but the difference is that the "lights" turns off on itself after some seconds if you dont move your remote which ofc saves your battery:
amazon.com
amazon.de
&#x200B;
One thing I should mention about this remote is that you need to be careful because the case can easy wear out if you dont treat it well (avoid water, fluids in general and everything will be fine).
Fair enough, I've found I enjoy the Xbox One's media steaming capabilities a lot more after getting one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01GOK34SO?smid=A15VZOEIYN32FC&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;creative=22218&amp;creativeASIN=B01GOK34SO&amp;tag=geizhals-am-21

I currently run my cable box through my Xbox One and use this remote to turn on my cable, Soundbar and TV. Will the Harmony be able to replace my current remote and control everything?
I’ve had much better results with this one. Buttons still light up and it has more functions to boot.
Link
The way it fits in your hand, the responsiveness of the buttons, the range of operation, the number of different buttons it has, the battery life, the overall look and feel and the quality and it's $14.00 vs $50.00
https://www.amazon.com/Talon-Media-Remote-Control-Blu-ray-Streaming/dp/B01GOK34SO
Honestly, I have both. I had the cheap one for about a year then I "assumed" the $50.00 one was better so when I bought a 1X I bought the more expensive remote. After using it for about a year I went through my drawers until I found the cheap one I was using with my 1S and swapped. Now I am much happier. It's Amazon. Buy both and decide for yourself and return the one you don't want.
I might be wrong but have you something in the way blocking the IR, between the remote and the xbox.
I had the same problem, I assumed it was bluetooth but its not, its IR.
I have this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GOK34SO/
They're discontinued now. Mine was $18 back in June of 2017. You might want to look at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GOK34SO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Had this for a year. The quality is superb and the shoulders still click like day one to this day, and I'm pretty heavy on how I use it because I play Devil May Cry 4 religiously. Highly recommend it bud.

I think it is just a rebrand of the Power A Xbox One controller. They look exactly the same. See here for the Power A: https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Controller-Xbox-One-Black/dp/B01J36HGC6/
From what I have read, for $25-30 it is a pretty good controller. Obviously won't be as good or solidly built as the official controller, but still decent enough.
I was planning on wireless, but it looks like a company named PowerA makes officially licensed wired controllers
I use this one from PowerA.
Quality wise I am satisfied. Sure it doesn't feel quite as good as an official one but it is fine. The sticks feel good. The triggers do have a cheap feel, for the price I don't notice.
Compatibility will be a hit or miss I think. Mostly it just works and is recognized as an Xbox pad. Steam works. It is all about the device IDs. If you can find a way to edit the reported USB device ID to the offical pad it would function exactly the same way.
I don't know about with emulators. I have had just one game not recognize the controller and that is Dirt Rally. The fix is to add my pads ID to the
inputconfiguration.jsonin the game files. Surely other games would have this issue but not many.The one they just announced.

This one is considerably smaller than the standard xbone controller and works amazing. Best 3rd party controller i ever bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01J36HGC6/ref=zg_bs_6469279011_16?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=4T7FJPHKTKR4TE4FP6JX
Yeah it’s just a standard XB1 controller. I’m curious where he found it for $30 but maybe on sale it could be?

Nothing yet, but along with rumours that Treyarch is taking advantage of the new 3-year CoD developer cycle to help develop this game, the official controller has shown to include some familiar marks as seen on Black Ops games to indicate the existence of zombies
Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller
Have you owned the Afterglow Controller? I'd be curious how they compare. I just bought this controller and it's so much better than the original xbox one controller. The build quality is amazing, the buttons, bumpers, and triggers all feel far superior to me.
Oh no $70 or £50 for a decent monitor, keyboard and mouse.
It's almost like that's actually more affordable.
> you can use tac com without taking your thumb off
With this little number you can have the best of both worlds.
Been playing Tournament with two active back buttons/paddles since UE. Never looking back.
Theres the Razer Sabertooth, it's better than the elite in terms of functions imho, is a bit cheaper, but has worse build quality.
A cheaper alternative are the PowerA Fusion for about 30 $ and the PowerA Fusion Pro for about 80 $. Both have not that premium-feel, but they shouldn't be bad.
My bad, by your previous messages I had gathered that you liked the PS4. My mistake, I guess? /s
I'll just leave you the link anyway; controlling media without dedicated playback buttons is so outdated... almost as annoying as changing batteries. (shudders)

AmazonBasics Xbox One Wired Controller
$24.99, works right out of the box as an Xbox controller that Windows recognizes, and I've never had a game not recognize it.
A total steal for the price, considering a wireless will set you back $60.
If you have money to burn, get the wireless Xbox One Elite controller. Has a lot more function and customization than the standard but the price tag to match.

Why does linus act like PC gamers can't game causally?
its really easy for any one interested:
using tools like;
PCpartpicker,logical Increments,/r/buildapc,/r/buildapcsales if you need help building consult; Carey Holzman,NZXT's guide or /r/buildapc
Either; Windows 7/8.1 or linux/Steam OS or for advanced users hackintosh with OSX or Windows 10 preview.
for a smooth console like UI use big picture mode in steam or Steam OS for Linux
The keyboard/mouse,Xbox one and Xbox 360 all have native support for advance user the PS4/PS3 controllers will need rebinding software.

I'm not sure what you anticipated by making this thread. Did you expect Major Nelson to pop in and apologize profusely and in turn promise to restructure the entire manufacturing process of the Xbox One controllers, lower their price, and send you a lifetime supply for free? You're complaining to the wrong people.
I find it funny how in your OP you say that you hope no one here tries to defend Microsoft, naively throwing any outside opinion that differs from yours under the bus. This isn't some reoccurring problem happening on a mass scale, these are indeed flukes. You're acting like you're the first person to run into a problem with hardware and are coming off as a baby.
