No offense against the Xbox One controller (which I do enjoy using), but I think for my casual on-the-road or in my room gaming on my laptop I'll just keep on using my PS4 Controller (I didn't get a PS4, but the $60 on the controller was well spent :-).

It's really nice not to have to worry about extra wires :-).
It makes me wonder why there aren't more Bluetooth PC controllers out there (I really haven't seen too many, maybe like one from Logitech, but none of them are as good as the console ones anyway so it's a moot point for me).
- LaikaF 12y agoMost gaming PCs don't have inbuilt bluetooth. Everyone has USB.
- orware 12y agoFor gaming PCs that's true...I was referring to laptops though (on the road, less stuff to carry).
- lloeki 12y agoThe PS3 controller works via both Bluetooth and USB. IIRC it's the same for DS4, and DS4 via USB is practically mandatory on OSX currently for some reason (DS3 works fine on both).
- Dylan16807 12y agoA bluetooth module costs a dollar and is the size of a USB plug. The aversion to bluetooth is weird.
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoPC gaming culture is defined by one guy in front of his box/laptop. Wireless controllers for console make sense because its usually multiple people many feet away from a TV. I don't want a wireless controller for my PC. Its just more needless complexity. I don't want to worry about batteries for something that I use 2 feet from my PC.
- prawks 12y agoBluetooth (at least in my experience with XBox 360 controllers) introduces a larger amount of input lag than wired controllers. This is important for FPS and other twitch games.
- gambiting 12y agoX360 controllers are not bluetooth. They use their own proprietary protocol. I honestly can't see a difference between DualShock 4 connected via USB vs. bluetooth to my PC,and I use it to play titanfall.
