Xbox 360 vs Xbox One controller

[Supportsneedlove]

I've been been looking for a game controller to use with my PC lately, and I think I finally found some good ones. Right now I'm looking at a used USB receiver for the Xbox 360 controllers with a controller included for about 20 bucks. It's the best i've seen so far. Would you guys recommend getting that or buying something like a steam controller or the Xbox one wireless controller?

ps the receiver is about 15-20 bucks for amazon.

Cheers

If you get one of the newer xbox one controllers, they have bluetooth, so you dont have to worry about the dongle.

 

Though I do wildly prefer the 360 controller over my one controller.

For ocntrollers it all comes down to personal preference and the game you are using it for. I personally dont like the steam controller or any of the logitech controllers I have tried. I still use an xbox 360 controller when I use a controller on my pc, I do like the xbox one controller a little more than the 360 but they are expensive to buy new for something I rarely use.

i've owned a massive amount of controllers

xbox 360 controller

xbox one controller

ps3 controller

ps4 controller

switch pro controller

wii remote (does that count)

gamecube controller

 

anyway whenever i play on my 360 i miss my xbox one controller that i use on my pc

the xbox one controller is much better imo. 

i was in the same situation u were in and i bought a xbox one controller for my pc (because i was selling my ps4 with controllers and i needed a adapter to use my 360 controllers on my pc)

Just stay away from the steam controller

I don't know if you've seen any of the reviews on the steam controller but it takes time to get used to and I think most people would prefer a normal controller since it's what they're used to. The Xbox One controller has Bluetooth as @Slottr said, that's a big plus for me since but it comes down to personal preference. So instead of buying a receiver, get the 1.

Why bother with any of them when you can use a Nintendo 64 controller, you know, the one made for people with three hands, and caused kids hands to bleed after going tryhard in Mario Party.

I prefer the One controller to the 360.

i think most people do, the thing that i hate about the 360 controller is the battery pack on the back is totally in the way

Just something to keep in mind, I use my Xbox one controllers VERY little and both have ended up broken to one extent or another. They probably have 40 hours on them combined. One of them has a joystick that isn't centered, so in any fps games my character is constantly walking forwards. The other one has a broken D-pad, and will register one button press as 5+ which can be very annoying when trying to navigate menus. Both of these controllers were bought new and I take very good care of them. It's probably worth mentioning that they are around 2 years old.

 

Before I had my PC, I put countless hours onto my xbox 360 and both controllers I have for that work flawlessly, despite being dropped, thrown (don't ask), and just generally abused over the course of 7 or 8 years.

I in my late elementary and middle school years, i used the 360. I prefer the one though since you have extra vibrators( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) and it doesnt have a bulge.

I have 2 360 controllers already so even if the Included one breaks I'll be good.

Found an Xbox One controller for the same price, but i don't know if it works with bluetooth.

I just retired my wired Xbox 360 controller after about 10 years of service.  Picked up a couple of Xbox One controllers and the dongle.  I use the dongle for my desktop and Bluetooth when I use them with my laptop.  So far so good, the build quality is very good and I think the ergonomics are thoughtfully improved over the Xbox 360 controller.  The single most improved aspect of the controller is the D-pad, the one on the Xbox 360 controller was garbage.

It's not a game changer, but it's a well built and comfortable controller I foresee lasting me a long time.
