Should I buy an Xbox controller?
I'm just prepping for the arrival of my DK2, (it's processing, so should be soon). So I've noticed that a lot of the demos and games make use of an Xbox controller as the standard controller. But I ...
The 360 controller is fantastic. I don't think I have played a single game adapted for the Rift yet that didn't support it. Unity demos all seem to support it by default.

Until dedicated VR controllers finally start to ship, the Xbox controller will continue to get plenty of use on my rig, and probably still after that for some applications.
I don't think you can go wrong having one around.
