I developed an interest for the Souls series and was thinking about picking them up for PC.
I have been warned it absolutely sucks playing it with the keyboard + mouse so i would like to buy a controller.
I was looking at cheap ones like MS has, but all of them look really bad and low quality. Im afraid they will break/malfunction quickly.
I found some cheap PS and Xbox controllers (not retail) and was wondering which ones do you recommend. I have never held an Xbox controller so i dont know what it feels like, and the PS ones are decent in my opinion, could be better...
Obviously the Xbox one has Windows compatibility which is a plus.
Like i said, im gonna be playing Dark Souls and some fighters like Street Fighter II or ZERO (emulated). Could the PS controller possibly be better for PC because of the 3rd party drivers and software that sometimes provide customizability, or is the Xbox plug and play controller a better option?

I use the Xbox One Elite controller and it's absolutely glorious, but very expensive. I personally love Xbox controllers, both 360 and One, so that's what I'd go with. I don't know anything about customizing PS controllers on PC, so I can't say definitively what's better.
