I just tried it today for the first time. Although I am not accustomed to a gamepad, I got the impression that in principle it works quite well.
Sorry, I don't know what I am talking about. It is an Xbox 360, wired, that I have here. There is rumble from the curbstones and other road features as feedback. But I can't say anything about an Xbox One, don't even know what the difference is.
The xbox one gamepad is compatible to R3E except for the rumble. You can find a profile in the controller profiles thread.
