I was so fucking close to buy the elite controller instead of the switch pro controller thinking I would need a dongle to use the elite controller on pc and that the switch one would work seamlessly in pc.

So fucking wrong.

Even apparently the xbox one controllers don't need anything to work on pc, and just connect via bluetooth.

Anyone can verify ??

So fuckkken salty.

EDIT: ah yes, I remember I didn't want to use batteries, but still...

Same here. I use my xbox controller via usb if I'm at my desk or bluetooth (same with my DS4) if I'm sitting on the couch. Both work great. My old 360 PC controller worked great although it had a wireless dongle. Gave that away once I had the other two.

Yes, I didn't know I could use the DS4 on pc, I might have not bought the pro controller (though I don't really like ps controllers in general, and the touchpad is fucking intrusive). The pro controller was said to work on pc (and it does, to an extent), probably there are some solutions for directinput to xinput, but I really thought that was gonna some middle ground between rechargeable battery and xboxlike type of controller (and it is, just doesn't work with xinput like most new games on pc today).

The elite controller seems to be amazing, but why still batteries ?

I do have the 360 controller, but the batteries made me want to search other options.

Yeah sadly I don't think there's a way around using something like http://www.x360ce.com/ if the stick is giving your problems in game. I might have to try mine on PC tomorrow and see what I can figure out. After the initial setup to use xinput it should hopefully give you want you are looking for though. I play games like Forza and The Crew on PC so I need the analog triggers from the xbox/ps controllers.

After deleting the xinput dll from steam, and pairing it again the controller it's working properly in nier.

Don't know if lucky, if I did something wrong the first time, or just random shit O_o

EDIT: yep, just plain stupid, I just had to calibrate it and bigpicture handled the rest ](*,) ](*,)

The model number for it should be online somewhere, if you can't find it I will look when I get home. If its not the psu that mobo could be shot.

Cheers I'll look in to the PSU.

I think the animations are horrible, but I don't get the part where everyone is angry and calling it a "SJW game".

That game is going to plummet in price quick. Its going to have to be a fraction of the price before I even consider it. I'm talking the slickdeals front page where its listed for $6.97 with a coupon and someone comments "That's $6 more than I'm willing to pay" kind of deal. What a joke lol.

Anyone fancy a code for either For Honour or Ghost Recon: Wildlands for PC? I've just been sent the redemption code by NVIDIA, but I have no interest in playing either.

First come, first serve :)

Thank you, but I don't seem able to redeem it (I even tried a UK proxy), it gets me "invalid code" everytime.

Maybe someone else can redeem it.
