We won't know until beta, since controller support wasn't implemented for pc yet.

Your controller battery life is much better than my wireless xbox 360 controller for windows. I'm lucky to go a month playing at that rate.

I don't have any haywire issues though. I do notice the camera analog stick doesn't return to neutral position sometimes with FFXIV 1.0, so sometimes the camera rotates very slowly till I correct it.

I'm glad I bought one, I don't like fiddling around with PS3 controller and settings. I turn it on and it just works. However this is the price we pay.

Did the rumble work in wireless mode too? I have been wanting to buy a compatible USB Bluetooth adapter to make it wireless, but I have not done so yet.

Rumble, six axis, everything. Although sixaxis wasnt in 1.0, but it might be in 2.0. I'm surprised at hearing problems with ps3 controller and/or motionjoy, it has more customization options than the ps3 itself. I haven't tried it wired yet actually, maybe thats where the problems stem from, I sync'd my ps3 controller with my pc at least a year ago, it hasn't been plugged in since.

Sweet, can you share what type of bluetooth hardware you use? I know MotioninJoy lists a few, but I always feel more confident in my purchases when I know it worked for somebody else.

Motionjoy has an 'official' one from a third party site, if you're into waiting a month for things to ship from overseas, but I got one from ebay awhile ago works great also, its a trendnet TBW-105ub($10)

i also used a ps3 controller for ffxiv but motionjoy was stupid, it disconnected my controller all the time and it gave me bluescreens. Now im using a xbox controller, it took me a lil while to get used to it but now its just as good

I did not want to mess with ps3 controller and drivers and such so i got a lot of 3 party controller. But even the good one the rubber inside always broke so the x and stuff never work right. Too i just got myself a PC wire xbox controller and never look back it took me a while also to get use to the xbox layout but it sure out last any of my old controller that for sure.

Overall i think xbox controller was best pick due to the fact that about every game that use controller. Can use a xbox controller without issue like the walking dead game and such. Most games i had to find a way to make it work for other controllers.

Might be interesting to see if there will be support for extra programmable buttons on the Razer Onza.
