I know nothing about consols and I'm a bit lost. A PC game is coming out shortly and on a YouTube vid the dev says that an X Box One controller is the best way to play it especially with the rumble.

I'd like a wired one and they do make an official Microsoft one for PC use but the rumble isn't mentioned in the spiel or any of the reviews, so do they all have it by default or does it have to be a wireless one?

Never used one that didn’t rumble. Are these actually wired or is simply a normal wireless controller with a USB cable?

ETA I use my normal XBox One controllers on my PC. You can connect with the USB cable if you prefer. There’s nothing different about the official one for PC as far as I can see.

As above. I have a Xbox One controller for my PC (I don't have an Xbox of any kind) and yes the rumble does work. Had a few issues with the bluetooth connection in witcher 3 but is fine when wired up.

I have a wired one for Xbox (£20 from Asda) as the kids keep breaking the wireless ones. It tumbled fine and connects by usb.

This! We've given up on wireless too (and saves on batteries).

Yes - kids play Roblox with Xbox contollers connected to their PCs.
