My xbox one controller does, in games with controller support which is most games nowadays vibration and everything else works just like it does on console. PS3 controller is awful imo and playstation controllers and other non microsoft controllers in general are kind of janky on windows last time i tried them you needed a third party driver to make them work and a lot of the button prompts for games were still xbox im not sure if vibration worked.

I'm using a PS4 controller with InputMapper to make games think it's an XBox controller (there's more support for it on PC), and the vibrate works on games that support it.

Edit: The big advantage of the PS4 controller over the XBox controller (other than PS4 vastly outselling XBox One) is it will connect to your PC over bluetooth and work wirelessly. Only the latest XBox One controller will do that. All the other XBox controllers require a cable. And I actually prefer having to use a 3rd party driver since it gives me the flexibility to tweak controls and remap buttons, instead of being stuck using whatever the game designer thought was the best way to set up the controller. The toughest part is actually memorizing how the Playstation button labels map to the XBox button labels.
I have to say though, aiming in most games is a lot easier with a mouse. I'm surprised games are mapping orientation velocity to one of the joysticks, instead of view position like in flight sims.
