In recent times, thanks to the rise of Steam and the PC indie gaming scene, more games on the platform jive better with a standard gamepad - from “retro” platformers to one-button physics-based puzzlers. From real-time strategy games to MMORPGs, and MOBAs to competitive shooters, the keyboard-and-mouse combo always provided the appropriate amount of inputs and the highest level of precision.

PC gaming has never been a platform for standard console controllers. This time around, Sony is looking to get its DualShock 4 into the world of PC gaming, and will make its controller work with PCs right out of the box. Meanwhile, Sony’s DualShock 3 works, but it requires third party drivers. Love the Xbox 360 gamepad or hate it, it works wonderfully with compatible PC games - simply plug in and play.

One of the biggest advantages Microsoft has over Sony during the Xbox 360 and PS3 generation is its controller.
