This is welcome news since I vastly prefer the Xbox One controller to the DS4 (still a great controller, the analog stick placement of the Dual Shock drives me batty, though.) Plus just this morning my PC had a minor freak out with the DS4 where it was showing 2 wireless controllers when it was connected to USB, but the USB device couldn't be recognized and the controller wouldn't even charge, etc.. Fun PC stuff which I eventually got figured out, but made more than happy to have a simple plug and play solution.

This is good news for PC gamers. I really like the Xbox One controller. My only problem with it is the bumpers. They just feel so oddly placed. I feel like they're too forward. There's too much space between the bumpers and triggers. Gotta reach my fingers in a way that starts to wear out my hand after an hour or two. Only one of my friends (with Xbox Ones) have this same issue with the controller, so I'm sure its just my awkward hands. On the other hand, the Dualshock 4 is very comfortable for me to hold and use. Anybody else have this issue with the Xbox One controller? Regardless of the bumper placement, I still think the Xbox One controller is pretty great.
Try not moving your finger from the trigger at all and press the bumper with the inside of your knuckle. The way they're designed, you can click them with very little effort even if while holding down the trigger. They are definitely different from the 360 ones, but I welcome the change. Even though I know and like how they're designed, I still find myself trying to use them like a 360 controller, and everyone's right, they work like crap that way. =D Especially for Dark Souls, if I move my hands so just my fingertips are on the clicky parts of the bumpers, it's fine and feels comfortable, but it's a different way than I've been holding a controller for years. Gotta get that out of my system. Plus, I don't know how comfortable that is for different hand sizes.
Also, it is exceptionally stupid that Microsoft--makers of Windows, in case anyone on the planet forgot--did not have a PC driver for this controller before it even showed up in stores.
Or at least had it work natively with the 360 drivers, and release these drivers down the road to add that functionality - maybe alongside the wireless peripheral. They should know more than anyone the benefit of being the primary PC controller, and everyone knew Sony wouldn't be on the ball with theirs. It boggles my mind.
