The Xbox One controller, however, does have the Windows dual-option tagged to it, but after the experience during the review, there’s still a lot of work to be done. If you’re looking for a controller for your PC, the Xbox One controller may be suitable as a wired option, but doesn’t deliver a great experience as a wireless controller.
In all, the official Xbox One S controller is a solid gamepad for an extraordinarily reasonable amount of money. Yes, you can save money and get a cheaper controller, but for something half-decent you’ll only really be saving £15 to £20.
