My wireless X360 controller used for PC gaming from 2007 finally died

Damn. Best controller in town and yeah. You might as well go for a new wired Xbox One controller or just get another 360 controller. I did both.
Go for a Bluetooth Xbox one Controller. Works like a charm and it fixed the D-pad, wich was the 360's weak point
I just finally started using my Xbone controller I had sitting around for 2 years ready to replace my 360 one, though if you can get a new wireless 360 controller it's a solid choice too. I really like both equally since they are not really that different from eachother, only thing I can say is that the bluetooth of the Xbone controller never really worked great for me (tho YMMV depending on your bluetooth dongle) so I always use it wired.

Isnt DS4 support shady in some PC games?
Is there any advantage with XBO over 360?
Not really, Windows 10 allows you to swap buttons globally on an XBO controller but that's about it.
Note that it might take a while to get used to that controller if you've been using a 360 one for so long, XO controllers have way less resistance on the sticks and triggers and the D-Pad feels completely different. Took me a solid year of switching back and forth between the two controllers before finally feeling comfortable enough to retire my 360 one,
Get a Dualshock 4, it's much better. You can use DS4Windows to customize it in all kinds of ways and the touchpad can be changed to do all kinds of commands. The DS4 and a bluetooth adapter is a godsend.
If you use DS4Windows, games will think it's exactly like a 360 controller so everything is supported.

If you use Steam, it supports DS4 natively.
Otherwise, you can use DS4windows as mentioned above to get 100% compatibility, it basically emulates a 360 controller on your DS4.

It doesn't for some games (Mass Effect 1 & 2 for example).
If you really like the 360 controller, just get another one. Most people like the Xbox one controllers a lot and I do too, but the analog stick feels very different so you might want to try it out first. I think the analog sticks are longer and the material is harder so it feels different and took me awhile to get used to. Not having the battery bump on the back was the best change for me though.
I'm still an advocate that the 360 is superior for layout and width. The One controller is just too high and tight on the sticks to feel comfortable, but the triggers and button feel are much improved.
If you go the tech savvies, fix that 360 pad. If not, probably just easier to get a One pad.

Are official ones still easy and cheap to aquire? I tried looking for a wired 360 controller some time ago here in Denmark and they were hard to come by and expensive. Amazon had some at ridiculous prices. Wireless is hopefully easier/cheaper.
