PC Players, are any of you planning to buy the DualSense or Series X controllers to use as your new PC controller?

I'll buy both. Dualesense mainly for the touchpad for DS/3DS/WiiU emulation along with any other game that would benefit from touchpad gestures.
I plan on getting a Series X controller. I recently gave away my two older Xbox One controllers to a buddy. My two controllers were so old they didn't have Bluetooth. So I got the latest Xbox One controller and then I'll grab a Series X one so I can get back to two controllers.
Unlikely, steam BPM will most likely support it without extra drivers though.
Depends entirely on if Sony puts out proper wireless drivers or not. Using a DS4 wireless on PC is a nightmare. Really excited about the features in the DualSense and disappointed in the Xbox controller adding nothing.
if this is the case i might get one
i'd only upgrade my xbox controller if there is a significant improvement in the quality of the bumpers and d-pad
I still use my wired Xbox 360 controller I bought almost 10 years ago for PC gaming.... still works great though!
Dualsense to maybe take the place of my Steam Controller so I don't depend on Steam Input so much to play games (gyro, touch pad, everything but grip paddles/buttons it seem). I'm looking forward to adjusting to Flick Stick and messing around with reWASD since it looks better than Steam Input but doesn't support Steam Controller.
Now, will these game profiler apps support the haptics? It will likely need to be programed in the PC games, but with Playstation being so popular I don't see why they won't include their Dualsense settings on the PC ports.
Gyro is very important to me with controllers now. It was painful to watch the Ratchet & Clank demo where they used analog to aim. Come on devs, you have gyro, use it.

Yeah. I'm inevitably going to get a Dualsense since I'm getting the PS5 and I'll be buying the Series X Controller since I'm sure it'll work better on PC than the Dualsense.
Perchance. The Xbox One controller has become my favorite PC controller in the last few years. It's really great. If XSX is an improvement, perhaps that shall be the eventual replacement.
I have an Xbox One controller for it right now. If it ever breaks I'll likely upgrade to Series X, but I don't think there's too much different.
After the right dpad stopped working 50% of the time on the DS4 and the micro-usb being faulty on the Xbox one controller.
No I'm sticking 8bito's

I don't plan on switching from my Elite V2 (now that I have one without issues), but I will be buying the consoles in all likelyhood so I'll be able to try them out anyway.
I might get the Series X controller as Xbox controllers generally just seem to work without as much hassle but I prefer my DualShock and will probably keep one as my PC pad even after they come out.
I don't think either one of those is an upgrade from my first gen Xbox Elite controller. So nah.
The Xbone controller is perhaps my favourite controller for general purpose at the moment so I imagine I'd go with the Series X one as a future replacement.
Use a Elite Controller on PC, which i guess is a Xbox Series X controller.
unless those two controllers in the first post get paddles (4 paddles not 2) it's not worth the switch.

I don't really see any reason to get one of the new controllers. If the ones I have now degrade over time then I'll probably go with one from Series X.
Willing torture, huh. Did they at least change the D-pad on that mess of pad?
Nope. It's also probably the most comfortable controller I own... And I have a wall of controllers, lol. Probably over 20 total at this point, maybe more.
For games I need a Dpad for I switch to my elite or my SN30Pro+ GB. But for most games? Duke is perfect and comfy. Bring back 6 face button designs!

I have the Elite v1. It's honestly the best feeling controller I own and it's worth the price imo, definitely better the regular three console controllers(outside gyro and ds4 touchpad). It's hefty, the buttons are nice especially the bumpers, there's a switch that makes travel for the triggers fast or longer, and you have different options for customization and paddles. I imagine the elite v2 is even more of an improvement.
True, despite being X-input and all that, the Xbone controller took well over 6 months after its launch before it actually worked normally with all of my PC games. Probably a non-issue now with how Steam handles pad support.
I have a problem where my cable never gets a great connection to the controller itself and my controller will die randomly so going to just go with a wireless Xbone controller.
I have an Elite 2 controller and it's by far the best controller i've ever used. Won't be planning to buy any new controllers.
Same. Aside from not being wireless without an adapter (I think the second version is though), I don't see any reason for an upgrade.
Nawh. Those controls are too backwards for me and not good for first and third person shooters. Im sticking with steam controller.
Still use a wired 360 controller. When that finally breaks down I'll switch over to the Wii U pro controller + mayflash wireless adapter. Also have a xbone pad with official adapter from my Oculus CV1.
Not interested in having any more controllers.

DualSense seems like it'll be a direct upgrade from the DS4 in terms of features. So I'll get that as soon as Steam supports it fully. I don't see a reason to replace the trusty old 360 controller as a spare since Microsoft can't even be arsed to add basic features like gyros to their controllers.
Perfectly fine besides my a button not registering inputs sometimes. It has gotten better over time!
Can't see it happening to a significant degree. There's like 10 pc games that support the Xbox impulse triggers.
If the Xbox controller doesn't have a gyro, I see zero sense in buying it. Gyro is essential for me.
If and when my Steam Controller breaks, the decision is going to be tough. I like the Switch Pro Controller a lot, have a serviceable DS4 I could use but if the DS5 is better to hold then might consider getting one.
