Or you could give it to me.  :'( I prefer the 360 pad over this new one by a mile. Maybe it's old-age, but I don't find the new X-box controller comfortable. Those huge rectangular former "bumper" areas. :-\

How are the dpads on these puppies? I've been wanting a second PC controller, but I don't want to have to crack open and mod another 360 pad.

Nice.  The left analog stick on my 360 pad just died the other day.

Xbox ONE controllers are awesome except they fucked up the LB and RB button placement.

Is there 100% compatibility with games with 360 pad support?

After trying out a XONE controller, I think I'll stick with the 360 controller.

I got one yesterday and have played with it a bit. It does seem to work just like a 360 controller.
I definitely prefer it overall though though the bumpers and stick length take some getting used to. D-pad is infinitely better and you can get more precision with less effort out of the sticks and triggers. Face buttons are probably a bit better for fighting games too as they're flatter with less travel.
