New xbox one s controller

[Minstadave]

The 360 D pad is awful, tempting to upgrade.

I have a wireless 360 pad synced to my PC and a PS4 pad synced to my Steam Link. I also have a Wii-U Pro controller for both PC and Steam link.

Why am I hovering over the "buy" button?

What does this controller have over the windows 360 pad?

A much higher price...........

Would the Elite wireless controller be much better then this one ?

Yep, pretty much has everything this pad has + some with all the interchangable options. However the elite does lack Bluetooth that this new pad does.

I do wonder if the elite will get a refresh with that in mind as its supposed to be the best of the best but lacks what a cheaper pad in the lineup has.

The adapter is a slightly chunky USB stick. It's nothing and more or less invisible if installed in a rear port!

Not only that, it comes with an extension meaning you can hide the dongle away somewhere less visible. Mines sits under my case where it cannot be seen at all unless you are actively looking for it.

Anyone else having issues with the pad over bluetooth?

Okay narrowed it down to specifically Gears of War ultimate edition - typical microsoft to break their own game...

I was passing by Game and thought I would buy this to replace my 6 year old 360 wired pad - starting to get annoyed by the wire and fancy a change.

It's sitting on my desk still sealed... debating whether or not to open it. £50 is steep.

At lest it cheap compared to high end gaming keyboards & mice which are well over £100 each...

But then again Microsoft already has the £100+ tag price covered with there elite game pad

Meh, my motherboard has bluetooth but I already have the xbox one controller and wireless adapter for my machine

Would have been good

 

[chaparral]

With it having Bluetooth does that mean it will work with a PS4 ?

 

[flinco]

I opened it. Seems to feel a bit better and 'tighter' than my old controller. The main left and right hand grips are a little smaller, will take a bit of getting used to.

At least I'm ready for Forza Horizon 3 now

Even the twisty convertible one?

 

[Spook187]

Bought this new pad, it's asking for passcode whilst pairing up, i tried 1234 and 0000 and nothing

Didn't even know that existed - had to google it!

Also not sure where read it, but the bluetooth one, you can only connect one of them to a PC, so no multiplayer on a local PC as far as I know with bluetooth anyway

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Looks nice, but the steam controller still beats everything in terms of sheer functionality.

Still can't get to grips with it though

 

[mdixson]

I still have massive issues with it over Bluetooth - cable works fine over USB though. Apparently Microsoft are working on fixes for it. They also confirmed that being able to use more than one controller over Bluetooth will be possible - which contradicts their own support page...

 

[Artery]

I know there's a few of us having issues with connecting it through Bluetooth altogether, nevermind more than 1.
