One of the things I like about the Xbox Pad when used with a PC is that when a wired headphone is plugged in to the controller, the pad appears as a new audio device and routes the audio to your headphones. I use the pads via the wireless dongle (Via virtualhere from my Shield), but may work via wired usb or bluetooth.

As much as I agree the PS5 controller is better technically, the xbox pad works better with a PC. Compatibility wise, not many games take advantage of the haptic feedback triggers.

Interesting. I get this controller headphone port feature when using the PS5, it's too bad it doesn't carry over to PC.

It does work on PC when plugged in via USB. Bluetooth support for controllers on Windows is terrible without 3rd party programs like DS4Windows.

I like the Dualsense controller but it's obvious that for Sony PC support is still an afterthought.

Playing wired is so 2002.
