Hi,

I am planning to buy a controller for my pc, Im using windows 8.1 and I couldn't decide which one to get, xbox 360 controller x1 contorller or logitect f710 (Heard there wouldn't be a support for win 8.1 logitech)?.

Does vibration work on pc games (Espicially the games that require only xbox conttoler) ?
Is there any performance differences between wireless and wired (vibration etc.)?
Does 360 controller have vibration for bumper triggers like x1's ?
Will next-gen games stop to support 360 controllers ?
Does x1 support wireless gaming in pc ?

Thanks for your advice, I am just wondering If some of pc games support impulse trigger or vibration. And also is it possible to use x1 controller via wireless

The 360 controller does not have the trigger vibration, just XB1, but the standard vibration works just fine, wired or wireless. I have not noticed any delay when going wireless, either on input or vibration feedback, it all works quite well. The XB1 controller does not currently operate wirelessly for the PC, but I think that is in the works, probably through a dongle like the 360 controllers need.
