Honestly it's now around 10/10 australian hot in here, I have got no more biscuits left and my dog has fallen asleep on my foot and it's beyond asleep (the foot and the dog to equal parts). These are very basic and I would go for either EVGA, seasonic or corsair for the psu. Optical drive you probably won't need, unless you plan to convert your VHS to dvd and then to convert them to digital you rip them with the drive (too hot to think). OS you don't need to worry about, just get win8.1 64bit. Wireless adapter, because screw having a ethernet cable running through your living room, also simpler to setup.
Edit 3: I would get an Xbox one controller, http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Play-Charge-Kit-Xbox/dp/B00CMQTUY2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420187632&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+one+controller, they are an actual improvement on the X360 controllers, in my opinion, and feel more solid and well constructed. Plus the buttons clickity click, which could potentially make up for the lack of mechanical keyboard.
Edit 4: This build is cheaper and doesn't feature overclocking potential, honestly I would still go for the first build, or something similar, simply having the option of going oc later down the road, should you ever need more raw power, is earily worth the little bit you pay more

No way on earth you're reading all of that, so I hid three Gandalf's within the url links, gl finding em
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 might actually like this product. It's a 3rd party mini controller. Comes in red, blue, green, black, and 3 types of camo. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Mini-Wired-Controller-Red/dp/B00SI1PJWC

>Wired or wireless play on Xbox One
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.

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.
Amazon has the Armed Forces controller for $39.99.
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 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).

Yeah that is the Amazon basics wired controller.

This Xbox controller is the exact same design.

If you're not aware they recently brought it back
for the Xbox One and PC. If you're so inclined I'm sure you can even get an adapter for PlayStation as well.

Amazon also dropped the price to $119: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Elite-Wireless-Controller/dp/B00ZDNNRB8
"In stock but may require an extra 1-2 days to process." You're welcome.
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
Here's some easy mods to bring it closer to an elite controller:
Quickshot grips. They come with a trigger lock, which makes the travel length for the triggers shorter. Super cheap and easy to install.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N1QO0TS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Also, for the sticks and d pad: (EDIT: Looks like you already did the sticks, OP can ignore, but if anyone else needs the info it's below)
See here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/311650246349?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
And here: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Xbox+One+Wireless+Controller+Thumbstick+Replacement/36840 (there's a guide on there for the dpad too)
Super easy 20 minute upgrade. Your sticks will feel better than before since these are metal and rubber. And they are held in with magnets allowing you to switch the stick height on the fly. The kit comes with 2 dpads, so you can choose which one you want.
or just get these?
Edit: I’m gonna regret showing you guys those. 1 left 😭
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
Yup! That’s the one. Works flawlessly.

you dont need to swap the drive, you can use an external ssd if you really want. be warned, early tests showed very little benefit for a ssd compared to a quality 7200 rpm hdd.
here is a link to the aw controller stand alone: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Limited-Edition-Call-Duty/dp/B00MAQ02OG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1409244241&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=advanced+warfare+xbox+controller
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.
Nah it's a regular MS controller
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

> 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.

There's the elite controller for $149: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Elite-Wireless-Controller-one/dp/B00ZDNNRB8
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.
Honestly the elite is overpriced in my opinion, go for an off brand one that does the same thing like scuf or Razer.

Those are a ripoff version of the Bionik Quickshot Grips (I really like mine).
https://www.amazon.com/Bionik-Quickshot-for-Xbox-One/dp/B01N1QO0TS
The one you're linking to has no rubber in the grips, they are all ABS plastic.
Has impulse triggers: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hyperkin-Duke-Controller-Xbox-One/dp/B079ZPCCLM
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.
Besides being more comfortable, the XB1's dpad is significantly better. For example, I couldn't wall jump in Super Metroid with the 360 controller, and was only able to get past that part when I got an XB1 controller.
On the other hand, I completed Dark Souls with the 360 controller and it was a great experience. So I would get this $25 360 pad if you're on a budget, otherwise for greater comfort and usable dpad, I'd prefer the $73 Xbox 1 controller.

Are you serious?!
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.
That’s gaming.

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
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

This is partially incorrect. There are actually three variants.
Here's the official page describing these.
Looks like this one should match the Go pretty well.
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 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.
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
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
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.

You can mate, I have these and just like you say the regular battery packs (older style door covers) have 3 plastic tabs and the Elite Controllers have 1 big tab in middle and 2 smaller tabs one either side.
What you do is take thin nosed pliers and snap off the two outer large tabs leaving just the middle large tab, then use a knife/scalpel and just cut slithers off the rough plastic where you snapped off those tabs.
I've done it successfully before and just did it on two more for my Elite controllers, now they sit on the dock and charge without problem with battery packs in :)
I highly recommend this charging dock -

Great one, comes with two battery packs and charges fairly quickly, especially if you are only using one controller, can switch out whilst the other is charging.
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.
It connects to the computer via micro USB. The drivers are available online from Microsoft so it functions the exact way the 360 controller does. You can find it here.
There was an armed forces one in green digital camo that I thought looked extremely cool. Very subtle design. Not sure if it's out yet.
Edit: here it is. Hell..maybe I'll get one.

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.

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.

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.

Answering your question: PowerA makes a decent wired Xbox One controller. Amazon.co.uk link
Fixing the issue: Have you tried a different USB cable or port? There's a chance that the port you are plugging into cannot supply enough voltage to power the controller and operate the vibration motors simultaneously.
Additionally, you could just turn off the vibration and see if that helps.
They're probably Microsoft-licensed third-party controllers. Maybe these.

As of right now, the prices for controllers are staying the same. The Xbox One and PS4 controllers are both 59.96 USD on Amazon.
They're $60 for a controller, $5 more expensive than last generation. Don't believe me?
See here:

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.

You can get a combo of the controller with the play and charge kit, this the original model controller however.

Any deals on this Controller + Play and Charge Kit combo anywhere?:

It's 74.99 everywhere, but I may just go to Best Buy and get a controller for $40 + Play and Charge Kit for $25 = $65
Also, they sell one for PC specifically now, instead of having to buy the play'n'charge kit in addition. Its slightly cheaper.
Microsoft-Xbox-Controller-Cable-Windows is $52.00 on Amazon.
[Controller with Play and Charge] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMQTUY2/) is $69.99 on Amazon. Both are slightly under retail but not much.

I went for the cheapest one I could find on Amazon, which at the time was this Venom one. Works fine, batteries have never run out during use (longest session probably 8 hours), stand feels cheap but holds the controllers fine. I've since picked up the 360 version which also works fine (have both hooked up to a 6-port USB charger, but will also work hooked up to the console).
I would say that these are your best bet. It's going to be tough to find an actual custom controller for that price.

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.

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 a more expensive version of the normal controller with many different features (about twice as much but in my opinion 100% worth it)

Amazon?
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.

amazon has the Razer Wildcat for $78 right now :)

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.
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.json
in 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
Picked mine up at local game store, but here's an amazon link... not sure if you're US or EU...

Can you confirm something for me then? Is the controller in this amazon link the Bluetooth one?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0F0OIY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_Xw8ODbCS7TH2E
Thanks. Would these controllers work with the Go?
Edit: Apparently these won't work with the Go since these are not Xbox One S controllers specifically, but I can't seem to find any S controllers for sale.

have you thought of just modding a regular controller?

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.

It's called the Duke, and there was actually a USB version of it released recently for the Xbone and PC
Affectionately named the "Duke." They've recently been re-made by a 3rd party. https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-DUKE-Xbox-One-Wired-Controller/dp/B079ZPCCLM
I personally use this one AmazonBasics Xbox One Wired... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CZTVHY8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
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)
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.

Amazon Basics are decent too, not the cheapest but they are every bit as good as teh MS XBox ones and less money.

Xbox One controllers made by Microsoft all work as both wired and wireless controllers.
My guess is that the $20 one you saw is a third party one, like this one made by PowerA which looks almost identical to a Microsoft one: -
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Enhanced-Wired-Controller-Xbox-One/dp/B07DHY6YLM/
All third party controllers are wired only, as MS doesn't allow companies to license the Xbox Wireless technology when it comes to controllers.
I'm in exactly the same position as you, and as I don't right now have the money to spend on a scuff or a cinch, I've actually just picked up one of these

I haven't really had a chance to try it yet but I can let you know how it goes if you like, I really bought it so I could try out the extra buttons before spending big on one of the big brands. It does feel kind of cheap to be honest and I don't think it will be a main controller for anyone who plays a lot ... but just to try out the extra buttons it should be ok............ I think!
If you're looking for cheap but good go for Power A. This is one of the few brands that can survive my kids. They usually have pretty good button feel for a cheaper alternative as well.

Personally I use a micro USB cable with the standard Microsoft controllers. They are more expensive but they last longer and typical repairs (new thumbsticks and sensors) are actually cheap and easy to do.
Nope.

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.
I'm saving up for this, a nice new Nintendo Switch because my brother in law got one and it's so fucking infuriating when he's sat there playing Zelda and I want it.
I'm also saving up for this, because the customisable aspect of it just rocks. I have a few games where the paddles would kick ass, like Elite Dangerous, left paddle deploys landing gear, right paddle shoots a heat sink.
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this
Oh no $70 or £50 for a decent monitor, keyboard and mouse.
It's almost like that's actually more affordable.
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.
Here ya go bud - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074FBKCMB/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525763638&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=xbox+one+controller+grey&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41BRaqEZITL&amp;ref=plSrch
I'm not quite sure about the size difference between this and the Microsoft one but it seems smaller to me. If not, there's a mini version of PowerA. Hope it helps. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Xbox-One-Wired-Controller-Black/dp/B07CZTVHY8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=xbox+one+wired+controller&amp;qid=1559118258&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=xbox+one+wired+&amp;sr=8-3
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.
