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

I already have a Steam Controller, but if i had to choose I'd pick the Dualsense. At the very least, it has gyro
I'll continue using the Xbox one since most PC ports forget to include PlayStation button prompts. I have gotten pretty used to the Xbox controller by now.
I already accumulated more Xbox One controllers than I need over the course of this generation, and the changes to the Series X controller seem pretty incremental—so we'll see. I imagine I'll end up with one at some point, but I'll be in no hurry based on what I've seen.
I mean, the Series X controller is the same as the Xbox One controller, just with a share button, right? I'll just stick with my Xbox One controller for that. However, a dualsense might be nice for Steam Input to replace my DS4s
It's smaller. Has the share button. Improved dpad. Textured triggers (and part of the bumper) as well.
Little things.
Oh, well, that sounds nice, but probably not enough of a change for an investment. I generally only use my Xbox One controller for my PC on windows store games. Everything else I just use the DS4 and steam input.
I see no reason to replace the One X controller with the Series X controller. There's no meaningful innovation there.
We'll see about the Dual Sense. Depends on how well supported it is.

Assuming I just don't straight switch to the Xbox Series X as my primary platform, I will probably get the new Xbox controller and let my kids use my current controllers.
Could say the same about the xbox one controller. Is it really any better than a 360 controller for PC gamers?
My Xbox One controller is starting to show it's wear. The sticks are worn, I get occasional stick drift, and occasionally it won't register A button presses. Maybe, I'll replace it with the Series X controller, mainly because Microsoft's pads are so much better supported on PC with button prompts and native support. I do wish they had gyro support though, I'm surprised they didn't add it. I really like how Breath of the Wild handled gyro aim, activating only when aiming, I guess I still have a Steam controller if I want to do that on PC.
Use an Xbox One controller now, if I need a new controller I'll get the Xbox controller since I prefer that stick placement.
Do Microsoft games on PC accept the DS4 as a control input?
I'm building a PC this year, but I probably would want to stick with the DualSense if I could map out macros on the touchpad.

I might get a Dualsense if the gyro accuracy is improved, it seemed noticeably worse than the Switch controller to me on the DS4. I see no need to buy the XSX controller since it's basically the same with a share button which does me no good on PC.
I'm pretty happy with my Xbox One controller so far. Not sure what feature I'd really be looking forward to if I upgraded. Do they both have haptic feedback in the triggers? I guess if the haptics are a lot better I would consider upgrading.
Down the line, if I have also a PS5, then yeah I would. I have a DS4 on the PS4 and one on the PC, so I think I would do the same but on the near-distant future
I use the PS4 controller on PC (or kb/m depending on the game) so I might get the Dual Sense, even though I more than likely will not be getting a next gen console.
Recently, my PS4 controller has been losing connection when hooked up to my PC. The Dual Sense have USB-C sounds like a godsend. Maybe it's a sign...

I want the dual sense to replace my Switch Pro Controller on PC. Gyro aiming for the win. But I was expecting grip buttons....Ita a bummer in this regard. Also I hope that the battery is Switch Pro Controller level of charge.
If the battery is better in the DualSense maybe otherwise Im just gonna stick with X1 controller.
Hey while we're on the topic, is there a simple way to map the Xbox button (that is an xbox logo) on the Xbox One controller to do something useful on PC? It opens the Xbox overlay for me now, but I'd like to use it to take steam screenshots or something like that. Or even better, holding that button + RB takes a screenshot, and that button +LB opens the steam overlay or something along those lines.
