I was hoping to love the SX controller, but I prefer my XBO controller. I have bigger hands so it feels better, and my main gripe is actually the plastic textured backs. It gives my hands rugburn. Really uncomfortable I really hate that backing.

PC users: Worth upgrade to a XSX controller from a xbone controller?
- Thread starter zerocalories

The Xbox One recharge kit works with a Series X controller. You can just buy any USB-C cable to connect and charge it.
I got a Series X controller for my PC because the trigger broke on my Xbox One controller.
I like mine! Upgraded my go to PC controller from my Wii U Pro Controller to this one! Loving it so far especially the color (snagged the Roboto Blue). I love the dpad and the textured feel it really feels a high quality controller.
Right now I'm waiting for my wireless adapter to arrive so I can use the aux for this controller and get an overall better wireless connectivity.

Can you elaborate? I've been using a Dualsense on PC and I am very pleased with the controller. However I'm interested in the new Xbox Series controller, to have and confront both next gen pads. What are your criticisms? How the sticks compare to the dualsense, specifically precision and tension?
It's a bit too small for my liking. I don't like the changes they made to the shoulder buttons - they're smaller and they don't travel enough. They don't feel as good. The added grip is just a bit too much. I think they nailed it in the later versions of the XB1 controller.
Honestly the biggest positive, for me, is the dpad. And that's not enough for me to overlook the rest of the controller. Ideally I would like an XB1 controller with a series x dpad and a bit more tension in the analog sticks.
As for the dual sense - I really like the controller. It's the best controller Sony has made, but I'd still pick the 360 and XB1 controllers over it. If those controllers didn't exist I think I'd be perfectly happy using the dual sense as my main controller on PC.
I use the one s controller for PC, because I have issues with playing yakuza zero with the series x black controller(right stick wont work for some reason).
I never use the playstation 4 controllers or switch pro controllers because every windows game uses xbox controller scheme more than anything else.

FYI the charge&play kit or whatever it's called is forward compatible so you don't need a new one if you have it already
I just picked up a Shock Blue Series X/S controller for my PC a few days ago and I think it is definitely worth the upgrade. The tweaked ergonomics plus the new textured grips/triggers are fantastic and improved an already brilliantly designed controller plus no more crappy micro USB connector.

I mean if you just are itching to spend the money then sure go ahead as USB-C is superior to MicroUSB but outside of that they're basically the same. Small difference in size, small difference in texture grip, small difference in shoulder buttons but nothing that says "worth it!" outside of maybe USB-C. Still if you are satisfied with your current controller just stick with it. You aren't really missing anything except the share button.
I had the same problem. Downloaded the Xbox Accesories app from the Windows Store, plugged the controller, and it updated the software of the gamepad. After that I've never had a disconnection. (Using a bluetooth dongle).No, i was able to make the controller disconnect just now, in a repeatable manner, by entering the quest menu of Dragon Quest XI (pc game pass).
it is a known issue and will be fixed sometime soon hopefully.
XBOX Series X Controller keeps disconnecting
Hey guys, Got a weird situation in my hands and i can't find a solution. I recently bought an XBOX Series X controller to use on my XBOX One. All games that are for XBOX One work normally. When i loadanswers.microsoft.com
Not necessarily, since if you boot up DS4Windows and the games/clients in the wrong order, you run the risk of getting double inputs due to the lack of exclusive controller mode.
Unless you like Sony's controllers that much more or plan on using the touchpad for DS/3DS/Wii/Wii U emulation, it's not necessarily a better choice. A different choice, but not a better one.
I agree with this. Don't mind the textures on the triggers, but it doesn't feel good on the back of the gamepad. It's a minor issue, but I do feel some discomfort holding the controller with those textures on my hands. It feels a bit like holding sandpaper.
