Is this controller better than the XBox controller for PC users? I'm in need of a controller and was trying to find a comparison.

...no? I fail to see why a PC user would get an xbone controller (now) over the regular xbox, yes it has a better dpad but who actually uses that in PC games aside from navigating menus? The bumpers are a downgrade, and the rumble triggers will only get support in PC ports once the official MS drivers are released, if ever.

The most hassle-fee controller for the PC these days is still the wired Xbox controller. It's the cheapest option, the most compatible (there are a few older games that won't recognize the wireless because it has a different device ID, can be fixed with .ini edits for some games and the xbox controller emulator though).

A good D-Pad is incredibly important if emulators are going to be a significant part of its usage.

Then you're much better off just getting a PS2 controller with an adapter for far cheaper than an bone controller if emulators are a major thing for you.
