I have both.

 

The 360 controller is a good choice unless you want the different feel of the One controller.

 

The 360 has a 9ft. cable built in where the One doesn't even come with a cable. Instead you will have to purchase a cable, where you can choose how long you want the cable. Also, its a micro-USB connector. There isn't a wireless dongle to use the One controller wirelessly with a PC yet.

So I bought MK X (£18 from G2A, super cheap) and its stupid on keyboard not to mention theres no mention of keyboard in the menu and trying to edit the keybindings for keyboard crashes the game instantly :D

I have decided to get wired Xbox controller but I don't know which one I should get: 360 or latest Xbone ?

360 controller is only £24 which is cheaper by £12 compared to Xbone.

Is Xbone controller worth it for PC gaming or am I just fine with 360 version ?

Speak from experience please :)

I'm leaning towards 360 because of the appealing price tag !

They will have the same functionality but Xbone conroller feels nice and i like the triggers better, but if you dont care about ergonomics get cheaper one :)

Although I haven't used the XbOne controller, from my experience the 360 controller is really good. I use it for recording smooth motion video in games. You could probably just look at a standard review between the two on Youtube. In terms of software support maybe the 360 will have more as it has been out for longer (customisation and settings etc.)

If you can't find an OEM 360 wired controller, the Afterglow works perfectly. I'm still using the one I bought about four years ago.

Unapologetic AMD fangirl. Yes, I'm biased. Yes, I know sometimes nVidia and/or Intel is an equal or better option. Yes, I try to keep it in check.

I still like AMD more.
