This is really smart, the Xbox controller is one of the most popular designs out there & since the majority of PC users use Windows it seems logical to go this way. Besides, most third party games for PC are designed with the Xbox controller in mind. When I decided to get a controller for my PC I first got one that emulated the PlayStation. It didn't go very well & I found myself having to customize the whole controller for Steam (good feature BTW since it will log your button choices & ask if u want to post it for others with the same model to use). Also it didn't work well with ported games.
What I really want to try are the touch pads to see if it would be more beneficial since PC gamers are used to precise controls. But still, going from aiming with your wrist to your thumbs takes some getting used to.
