What do I need to use an Xbox One controller on PC?
What do I need to get to use a Xbox One controller with a PC? Just the controller and a long micro USB cable? Can I go wireless? If not, is the Play & Charge kit completely pointless for PC users?
Best Answer
It's currently only possible to use them wired through microUSB (it uses a proprietary wireless solution, and not the same one as 360). You need special drivers, which will either be distributed over Windows Update or you can snag them directly from Major Nelson's official site.
