Hey guys,
Recently downloaded DS3 to use a PS3 controller on my PC and whilst it was good, on occasion it would play up. The wired connection was a little dodgy (loose) and when in game if I lost the connection to the controller I had to reboot the game to get it back (F1 2014).
As a result of this I'm looking for alternatives and leaning towards an Xbox controller seeing as they're made by Microsoft they should work without fail. The 360 controllers can be found for about £20. However, I've noticed there's the Xbone controller available now for £40 (here at OCUK, best price I could find
). What do you guys think of the Xbone controller? I prefer the feel of the Xbone controller - although I've not gamed with one - over 360 ones I've used. Although I must admit I'd much prefer a Sony I'm not sold on the drivers when using with a PC.
As implied in the title I'm open to alternatives to what's listed above. My priority is reliability because I found the PS3 controller dropping connection and occasionally dragging me into walls a massive turn off.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have a slight concern with the Xbone controller; the wired doesn't looked fixed (mini USB?). How well does it stay in place? I don't throw the controller around but I am a bit weary following my problems with the PS3 connection.
Edit 2: I'm most likely to go for a PS4 if I ever get another console. Does anyone have any resoundingly positive experiences with the Dualshock 4 and DS4?
