PC gets unofficial support for Xbox One controller
The Xbox 360 controller is pretty much the unofficial PC controller too, but Xbox One's new gamepad is not yet supported. Microsoft has promised an update this year, but you're a PC gamer--why wait?

An enterprising modder, Lucas Assis, has created a driver that lets you trick your PC into thinking the Xbox One controller is an Xbox 360. It's similar to the process required to make DualShock 4 controllers work on PC.
You'll have to grab some drivers for this trick to work. A "confident" Windows user should have no trouble getting this workaround to, well, work. You can download the drivers here (via Gamespot).

I was surprised to see this featured inside of Steam's UI.

Nice one -> "to do with manufacturing and they don't want PC gamers to buy up all the gamepads and create a barrier to selling more consoles" that sounds totally logical bet that is it. Still if you know customers X have a demand for product Z you would think they would make more but I guess MS was happy to get enough for the XB1 so that makes sense.
Well it will be cool once it is officially support for the PC I really like the controller.

That sucks. You think companies would be better at d-pads after Sega perfected it with the Saturn 20 years ago.

I prefer the SNES D-Pad as well, but it comes down to personal taste and I have some very good examples of both in my collection (as you can see in my post below...I've got SNES controllers and a Super Famicom controller that I use along with a Super Famicom Classic Controller for the Wii (not to mention the boxed and sealed SNES, NES, and Super Famicom Classic Controllers I have that I don't use)...and I've got an offical Sega Playstation2 Saturn controller along with two official Sega USB Saturn controllers (all imported from Japan a while back before the slew of knock-offs hit the market)).

Specifically, the smaller, Japanese revision of the Saturn Pad. The first American Saturn controllers were big and clunky. Later they made the Japanese model standard in all regions.

This is why I keep a couple alternatives handy:

I'd add that having taken apart a few Playstation 1, Playstation 2, and SNES controllers in the past, the principles behind them are surpisingly similar between the PSX/PS2 and SNES pads (and they're both made by mitsumi who also made the NES and Wii pads among many many many others). That's probably why the D-Pad on the PSX/PS2 and PS3 is superior to the 360's...its made similarly to a proven concept and its made by a company that has a LOT of experience making really great controllers with really great D-Pads (though Mitsumi also made the original "Duke" controllers for the XBox along with the first wave of Controller S or Type-S or whatever controllers that were sold in Japan before they made them standard everywhere...so they have experience making bad D-Pads as well).

should i even try getting this to work in bf4 for easier piloting

I use a DS3 for choppers and jets. Feels more natural to me. I played the shit out of Ace Combat 4 in high school though.
It was a one time install, giving it instant compatability with all modern games. I imagine the One controller will be the same.-
To clarify, with the DS3, I installed the Xinput wrapper that's widely availible now.

I bought a DS4 and Bluetooth adapter to use on my PC, I had to download the wrapper to allow it to run as an Xbox controller for games but it's been pretty nice anyway.
