Xbox One Controller Backwards Compatibility PC

I'd like to get a gamepad for my PC; previously I've had great success with an Xbox 360 controller for the PC (the controller unfortunately is no longer with me!)
I wondered however whether a current Xbox One controller would be backwards compatible with PC games that support Xbox 360 controllers? Or is it better to stick with an Xbox 360 controller.

Also worth noting that the newest ones are also Bluetooth compatible. Not only can you use it on your computer wirelessly (providing it has bluetooth) but you can even use them for gta san andreas, minecraft and bully for android as well as a load of other games.
