I figured out this controller. Turns out you have to manually install the driver for this controller using "install a driver on my computer" function when viewing the device properties. For whatever reason the Windows Xbox One controller driver doesn't recognize the controller automatically.1. When you plug it in and install the xbox one controller driver you will get a device called "Controller" in your "Devices and Printers" under control panel. You will also get driver not found errors.2. Right click controller and view its properties and chose update driver.3. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software," and then choose "Let me pick from a list...." options.4. Choose "Microsoft Xbox One Controller"5. Then again choose "Microsoft Xbox One Controller"The gamepad should work now. MS really needs to update something as not having the official drivers auto detect it on PC is stupid.That said this is a nice improvement over the original controller. Its heavier and the rumble seems stronger. Most importantly the shoulder buttons are vastly improved over the first version. Just clicking them they feel similar, but the improvement is the fact they simply work. Now I can preform shoulder button operations with ease where it was hit or miss before. No longer do I have to jam my finger hard down on the button to ensure that pop-up radial menu will stay up or that grenade will chuck.I don't have any 3.5 mm jack headsets, but it hear its a little hit or miss on PC at the moment. Hopefully it will improve very soon with updates.If you don't have a xbox one controller and want one, buy this, get the 3.5 mm version, the old one isn't worth your time. If you are considering upgrading and don't wanna pay top dollar for the elite controller I would say the much improved shoulder buttons make it worth while.If you can afford to wait until christmas this year, the windows 10 only PC wireless adaptor is coming and will no doubt come bundled with a controller.
