Is there anyone that would argue that this is not the best standard all purpose controller ever created?
>>322303262
no the bumpers are shit now
>>322303381
They fixed them in the newer versions.
me, the d pad a shit.
better than ds4 and wii u pro controller though.
ONLY SONY STUFF IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST
IT'S NOT FAIR
>>322303262
It looks good, but I grew up on DS2, so I bought a DS4 for PC games that need a controller (like Rocket League and shit).
>>322303513
>MY POSTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY, ITS NOT FAIR.
>>322303491
Nevermind, I thought you meant triggers. I agree the bumpers 360 bumpers were better.
>>322303262
I personally prefer the DualShock's stick layout, but acknowledge it's for matters of personal preference and not out of any technical objective differences.
The lunar white and forza controllers are fucking amazing
>no wired variation like the 360 meaning i can't just hook it up to my pc and never think about the battery
>shit tier bumpers now
Will Microsoft ever get it right?
>>322303381
It's funny I always thought the 360 bumpers were utter shit. Do the xbox one controllers bumpers break or something?
>>322303721
Dude all you need is a micro usb cable and you can plug it into your pc. The drivers are automatic.
Fuckin tard.
>>322303262
The Covert Ops controller is a straight upgrade.
The shoulder buttons work properly, its lighter, and you can plug computer microphones into it. Its also around the same price,
Its also only a tiny bit more expensive.
>>322303262
I don't like the bumper positions. They're almost too forward.
And it feels like the D-Pad is unresponsive sometimes.
For most modern games, though, I'd say it's probably the best. I prefer the DS4 for overall usage since I like the button positioning and D-Pad better, but I know some people don't like the split D-Pads or feel the controller is too small.
I'd take either of the above over a regular DS3 at this point though.
tl;dr it's pretty good 8/10
>>322303721
You know you can connect it with any micro usb cable right?
Lunar with the grips is best controller
>>322303896
>The drivers are automatic.
Not him, but not always they aren't.
The covert ops controllers have been known to have issues on Win7, at least in terms of automatic detection. You can still force them to use the driver in the device manager. Windows 8+ I haven't had any troubles with automatic detection on the same PC, though.
>>322303930
I had one, the right trigger started creaking after two weeks, the bumpers were too spongy and went down past the triggers, diagonals didn't register on the d-pad half the time and the finish made my hands sweat.
It's shit.
>>322303721
>retarded user
>>322304182
What's your alternative then?
Recently grabbed a DS4 for my PC gaymen. It's legit, and the Dpad is probably the best next to the Nintendo controller.
DS4 is a superior controller for fighters and platformers that require precision.
>>322303896
No, you idiot. I'm aware, I own one. That's not that point. That doesn't solve that I have to think about the battery.
>constantly recharging it even when it barely needs it
>having a battery in a device I'm using in my hands that's receiving outside power
DS4 for me.
>le Sony shill
I have small hands, DS4 is more comfy to me than X1 controller. Although I played Forza at those demo things while waiting on line, and the triggers are fucking amazing. Too bad I use L1/R1 to shoot for minimum delay, and you guys agree it has shit bumpers. Also, making my DS4 glow any color I want is kinda cool and using the touchpad as a mouse in those intermissions where you need them is convenient. Plus I already own a PS4for multiplats because I get catered to as if I was an uninformed casual, not shelling any more for a controller until this one breakswhich it will soon because it's a shittily made launch day controller.
>>322304403
The launch one.
>>322303262
foolish summer child
Never cared for the 360 or xbone controller
Wii U pro controller or DS4 for me
>>322304567
>Elite
>Standard all purpose
That's the problem. Elite will never be the standard all purpose controller.
>>322304478
So you're literally bitching about the fact that it has the option to be wireless.
Please kill yourself twice.
>>322303262
>still uses batteries
Fuck that shit.
I prefer the DS4. Its just a matter of preference but it just feels less clunky and I really like the Dpad. I actually prefer the 360 pad to the Xbone version, bumpers are way better.
>>322304557
Got it, I thought you were shitting on all xbox one controllers, my bad.
>>322303930
Those upgrades have been standard for a while now.
I still use a chat adapter because I like volume controls and chat/game volume balance.
>>322304638
Yeah but if it could be, should it be the standard?
I've never held one but that D-pad looks fucking sweet.
>>322304646
No, are you an idiot? I'm saying it would be better if they released a purely wired variation as well like they did with the 360 controller.
>mfw there's children on 4chan being dumb again
>>322304478
I dont understand why you have to think about the battery. I use mine for my PC and never have to worry about the controller dying. It charges when its connected
>>322304862
You can take the batteries out if you have a fear of lithium you pussy.
There's nothing the Xbone is good at it
except being shit
>>322304862
Give up hope now. A hardwired controller is now considered obsolete and a money sink to sony/microsoft/nintendo. Get a charge kit and wireless dongle, it's perfection. And if the controller dies it's probably time you took a break anyways fatty ;)
>>322304859
it's kind of heavy the first time you hold it but everything about it makes it feels like it's meant to last. the sticks and paddles are interchangeable
and the bumpers and triggers are metal and work flawlessly.
it and the sticks are metal along the base so it doesn't have the plastic rub off shit either.
the price is steep but if the XB1 controllers is your go to controller than why not get the best version that'll live the longest.
i got it but i figure the price will go down eventually to be more affordable for other players. according to microsoft they aren't short on demand for this thing
>>322303508
Sure the saturn pad is miles better but the xbone dpad isn't bad by any means. It does its job well enough where I haven't even bothered fishing the saturn controller out of my closet just to play the occasional 2D game anymore.
You're all wrong.
>>322303262
>>322303930
>>322303378
Are xbone fanboys this insecure
>>322305216
Or just plug the controller in.
I swear to christ you people are autistic.
>>322305380
Ah yes, the 50 dollar civ v peripheral.
>>322305425
They have a shitty console. They have to win with controller
>>322305380
It is you who are mistaken.
About a great many things.
>>322305380
>a thumb on a trackpad is just as good as a mouse
Kill you'reselve familia
My only complaint is the shape of the bumpers and the smooth plastic on them. They're too slippery. Would be better with some textured matte plastic look on Sony controllers.
That and it's a tad small.
>>322303771
Xbox One bumpers require more pressure to press down and are more clicky than 360's, which felt more mushy in comparison.
Lots of people don't seem to like it. Seems to be a love/hate thing. I love it.
Plebs ITT
gamecube is GOAT
tfw the whole thread is wrong
>>322305346
>Microsoft is JUST NOW finding out that a piece of equipment that doesn't break sells really well.
>>322305705
The Controller is damn fine for PC when it comes to Platformers and Racing games.
But of course the best controller for Shooters is KB/M
>>322303262
>Xbone controller
>Better then the 360 controller
Maybe in the dpad department but i still think people over exaggerate by saying the 360 dpad is that bad when its alright.
The xbone controller has
>tinier analog sticks for no reason
>the analog sticks are looser unlike the 360 ones so its harder to be as precise
>Those fucking terrible bumpers that take 10x the effort to press in on the fly as 360 ones
Its a downgrade in almost every way. The buttons being softer to press in is subjective but still something and i guess the dpad is alittle better.
Its still better then DS4 for the fact its analogs are cupped. I can't stand alot of games on the DS4 analog when doing a precision input because its still ball top and feels loose as all hell to go with it.
I don't see how anyone can deny the 360 pad being the very best pad.
>>322305592
But the controller feels like shit sense the first one. The main reason why people loved the 360 iz because it was not the controller from the original xbox that was for mongo handed people. They literally went from shit to normal and people bought it.
>>322305380
I regret buying this.
But I'm using it for all of my games I can to get my money's worth.
>>322304859
It's the gaming equivalent of feeling real tits, it's just amazing to hold in your hands. Best 150 I've spent on a controller thou I'd get a warranty if that shit breaks in 2 years for whatever reason
>>322303262
Small analog sticks and downgraded triggers in comparison to the 360. I barely use the dpad too so the 360 controller remains the best to me.
>>322305829
In all serious, the GameCube controller is the best controller of all time.
>>322303262
Its alright. Tried it at a store.
D-pad didnt fully convince me though and for me thats absolutely essential.
>>322305842
people will bitch about these analog sticks all day but desu i've used them both extensively and I still prefer the DS4
honest to god the wii u has my favorite sticks tho
>>322305705
>look ma im shit posting again!
>>322305886
but the xbone doesn't have any technical issues and it sells worse than the 360
>>322305829
>Retarded z button
>No right bumper
>Slippery shitty left thumbstick
>Shitty nub C stick
>Diarrhea d pad that doesn't work 90% of the time

If you wanted to be taken seriously you could have at least posted a wavebird.
>>322306180
Granted a LOT of people are still bitter about how they were trying to fuck us back on the Xbone Reveal.
>>322304902
That's not the issue. Having it charge from 3/4 because I have to hook it up to use it on my pc all the time etc. is dumb batteries lifes ain't infinite.
>>322304979
I wonder if that would work
>>322305216
>perfection

I went to a friend's house to play halo cus we hadn't played since 4 in college
was thoroughly surprised this is still the case
honestly who the fuck keeps batteries around the house anymore
>>322305829
It feels like it was designed for Smash Bros. Using it in that game is fucking divine and flawless.
Everything else, meh.
>>322305993
Dpad on 360 wasn't that bad. It was alittle stiff but it was function. Some pro players even make it work for fighting games like Smug Zeus etc. Not top pros but still respectable as fuck.
Also the analogs not only got smaller they also got looser so instead of requiring force that make inputs more precise they're more of on par with the DS4 in that regard and its bothersome.
>>322305905
after getting used to a DS4 for a few months, I plugged in my 360 controller for some PC gayman and was thoroughly disgusted
it feels like a cheap child's toy in comparison, sorry.
>>322305842
>Get PS4
>Thumbstick rubber tears after 6 months

yeah, nah. meanwhile ds3, ds4, fuck even wiiu pro work wirelessly on pc
>>322306180
That's only because everyone who wanted to play xbox 360 for more than a year had to buy two.
>>322306469

>>322306618

>>322303513
I don't get it. Someone arguing the bone pad is best started this thread.
>>322306596
What the fuck were you doing to your controller? Chewing the sticks?
>>322305602
lol better than a stick that's for sure.
>>322305380
Took so long to set up how I wanted it but I have it so a paddle button changes the aim to a slower more precise one on the fly and I set the gyro to move camera for aim via another paddle on the fly and it's basically mouse precision aim. Been playing fps with it for awhile.
>>322305842
ps4 controller is honestly really good looking.
>>322306618
Good luck fucking with drivers and remapping your controller every single time.
I'd gladly take plug and play over slightly more hassle for wireless.
>>322303262
I had my eye on it but during Black Friday I nabbed a DS4 for $29 in that jet deal. Can't beat that price, and really, they're comparable in quality. But I'd like to try the Elite bone pad.
>>322306857
I had the audacity to occasionally play it.
I've had a PS1, PS2, PS3, Original Xbox, 360, Xbox One and none of the thumbstick rubber tore. The consoles from 360 gen and earlier took way more abuse than my PS4/XB1 controllers got because I was younger and gamed a lot more.
It's a widely documented quality control issue with the Dualshock 4 and has caused Sony to try various rubber mixtures on their thumbsticks with varying degrees of success.
Not my picture, but exactly what happened both times.
It's the best because of how convenient it is on PC.
Nothing else really.
>>322306596
clip your fucking nails man
>>322305829
Meh, it's nice for games that use it well, (Smash Bros, Sunshine, F-Zero GX etc.) but in the grand scheme of things, it's pretty mediocre, and absolutely fails in certain genres. (Traditional fighters, shooters)
>>322307292
Right because my none existent fingernails are touching the bottom of the thumbstick you fucking inbred.
>>322306786
I retract my statement if that's true
>>322307061
uhh, maybe with that crapware motioninjoy? the controllers I mentioned work perfectly, and I'm sure one made by MS would perform smoothly as well
XB1 controller for anything that doesn't involve using the D pad a lot.
>>322307171
The rubber on my controller looks more "coarse" or something, clearly they changed the controller and this is no longer the issue.
>>322307171
>It's a widely documented quality control issue
It is, but not the way you described it.
Especially if you only use it "occasionally".
>>322307521
For the duration of that time, I had 3 games. The console got used maybe 3 hours a night after work.
All my previous consoles controllers stood up to years of abuse with 8-9 hour sessions most days of the week with almost no wear and tear, definitely none on the coating of the thumbsticks.
>>322307416
The problem isn't what drivers you have to install to make PS4 controllers work.
The problem is that you need to manually install drivers at all.
Whereas both xbox 360 controllers and xbox one controllers work flawlessly the moment you plug them in.
>>322308129
>download driver
>install
>run it in background
wooow that was so hard
>>322308129
Sounds like you should move to a console. If installing DS4Windows is such a big deal to you, the PC is not for you.
>>322303378
Fuck off, horrorscene. :^)
>>322303262
PS3 controller + SCPserver is pretty gud
>>322304478
Then take the batteries out, dipshit.
>>322308129
which brings me back to my original point that this is for a wired connection. I'm not a retard, so I have no problem installing a driver and having my controller work without needing a wire from then on.
>Microsoft releases wireless dongle for the bone controller
>only made to work on Windows 10
You can't make this shit up.
>>322308262
OR you could just plug in your controller and use it without having to go to some shifty third party website run by some 14 year old asian kid to download shady software that may or may not work.
This whole point is kinda moot anyway because I think the whole point of the conversation is what should be the standard controller based on comfort, durability and playbility, not which controller has the easiest software to use or which controller plugs into my favorite vidya system.
I don't care about easy drivers or whatever but the shape of DS4 is a lot more uncomfortable in normal game playing positions.
>>322308765
It works on 7 and 8.1 now.
>>322308765
>anons don't read threads or research something so they have no idea what they're talking about
You can't make this shit up.
Can you buy N64 usb controllers with a thicker than original thumbstick? We all know that stick was a brittle piece of shit yet every 3rd party N64 controller I see is as flimsy as the rest
>>322308765
That is pretty shitty.
But then again microsoft is trying to shill windows 10 so hard I'm not even surprised.
>Have had windows 7 for almost 6 years now
>Icon pops up out of no where and constantly tries to get me to upgrade
Fuck off microsoft and take your shitty button with you.
>>322303378
I like the dualshock 4 more because it has more buttons, including the share button
>107 posts in
>no mention of the Wii U gamepad
What the fuck, /v/?
>>322309283
It works with 7 and 8. just need to update it
I would, but I grew up with Sony and Nintendo consoles and never had a preference for MS ones. To their merit, they have improved their controllers considerably with each iteration so kudos for putting forth an honest effort.
>>322309574
It's built well and I've played a lot of games with it but it just feels off to me.
Can't really explain why I don't like it other than personal preference.
>>322309574
>shit low res screen
>shit battery life
>Resistive touchscreen
Not even once.
>>322309574
Gamepad's great for playing platformers and other simpler games off-screen but with rare exception isn't ideal compared to a traditional controller.I absolutely love Fatal Frame 5's use of it, though.
>>322309614
Well there ya go.
>>322309574
That's a piece of shit, bro.
that fucking battery life man
>>322306180
It's doing better then the 360 though. It just LOOKS like its doing worse because the PS4 is crushing it in sales.
>controllers will never have 6 face buttons again
literally why
having only 4 is a fucking downgrade
>>322305842
>needing to install some shit drivers to get it to work on pc
>not being plug and play like xbone
Welp!
>>322310169
Those digital triggers man.
>>322303262
Aren't these the worst thing ever made for fighting games though?
>>322310413
Not everything is about PC!
>>322310851
That D-Pad looks considerably better than the 360's but a kick in the nuts is better than the 360's D-Pad so that doesn't say much.
>>322303262
The sticks are too high, it makes my fingers feel like they're on stilts. Wii U pro would be god tier if it had Steam Controller style triggers.
>>322309967
>>322309827
Why do sonyponies always get so mad whenever somebody else says something nice about nintendo? Is it because they know they have nothing to be excited about on ps4?
>>322306232
>>slippery shitty left thumbstick.
Your opinion can be contently discarded.
oh and yes, I had to quote your fucking meme arrow, fucking fag.
i like the xbone controller, but the rubber textured surface wore smooth on the sticks after a couple months
>>322303262
It is the best controller microsoft ever made, but the D pad still fucking sucks
The DS4 is the most well rounded controller out there at the moment
Heard the Elite version fixes the shitty D pad, but its way too expensive for a controller
The WiiU controller would be the best controller if it had digital triggers and were made of better plastics than the horrible Chinese knock off tier plastics Nintendo used on it
>>322310413
>>322310989
Again I think the point of the thread is to argue which controllers work best without thinking about what system they're plugged into.

That's because W8, 8.1 and 10 all ave the drivers pre installed in the OS
>>322311246
wii winning what?
>>322311429
What?
No, I mean after installing the drivers, the controller would not be detected. I had to manually select the installed XBone driver from device manager afterwards.
>>322311592
He means the Wii winning last generation in terms of sales

>>322311794
that one still have the shitty shoulder pads isnt it?
since I bought it to play DaS2 on PC and it was so shit I have to go back to my shitty Razer gamepad.
>>322311012
I don't get you. Isn't OP's image the 360? What D-Pad are you talking about?
>>322311794
Sorry but that is the ugliest sack of trash I've ever seen. DS4 is elegant, and sophisticated, especially in White or 20th Anniversary Grey
>>322306425
Anon I don't think you understand that you can use any data carrying micro USB and it is then a wired controller. Why would you want to limit your own options and have a dedicated wired-only controller when you can have one that does both functions?
>>322311794
DS4 is legitimately a better controller unless you have mental problems.
>>322311915

How does it feel to know you'll never play splatoon?
wi will just straight up say that the xbone controller is fucking shit, yes i do play on ps4 but thats not my reasoning, i absolutely loved the xbox 360 controller (previous gen i gammed on) and idk just the xbone one does not feel right at all, hate it
>>322312269
Why would I want to play Splatoon?
Wii U has awful controllers.
I'm master race, by the way.
>>322312269
Splatoon is a masterpiece
So after my thumbsticks kept tearing on my DS4 through moderate use, I made some modifications to it.
Discovered that XB1 thumbsticks slot into the cavity perfectly, so I ordered a set. Ordered a 2000mAh battery too (Stock PS4 battery is half that).
Unfortunately I broke the clips on the case while prying it apart, so I bought a new case, went with a coloured option instead of plain black.
Now I have a DS4 with twice as long battery life and XB1 thumbsticks. Meet Bumblebee.
>>322311956
How much does Sony pay you to shill products on forums?
>>322312339
Actually I'm a Nintenfag I can just admit that the DS4 is amazing.

I'll never be able to play with symmetrical sticks, ever. Even when I was a kid with a ps1, I used the D-pad to control the character, and the right thumb-stick to control the camera.
Persona 4 Dancing All Night is better than any other game that came out on PS4/Xbone in 2015.
>>322312383
This guy gets it
>>322312423
I don't think it wins if you have to spend an extra $40 and build it yourself.
Not a standard but the Wii u pro controller I picked up today has kept me hard all day
>>322305842
I have an xbone controller and a ds4 and honest to god prefer the ds4. Its just a shame a lot of pc games dont have compatibility with it to be honest senpatchi
>>322312729
I've used the Dualshock's symmetrical sticks almost all my life so that's weird as hell to me. It's asymmetrical sticks that weird me out a little, but even then I can still use them if need be.
>>322312510
All DS controllers are sub-par, more so now that they don't even have pressure-sensitive buttons anymore.
Shitty analog placement and the Dpad is STILL that fucking segmented crap. Not as bad as the XB/360's dpad but close, it's still imprecise and designed all wonky. Just make it one solid piece above the case. Instead of tilting what feels like one large piece of plastic in a single direction like most Dpads, it's like I'm pressing four individual buttons.
>>322312912
Thumbsticks £2.50 on ebay
Battery was £10
Case was £6.
Either that or buy a brand new controller for £60 (which was how much they were at the time). End up with a controller with half the battery life and a good chance the thumbsticks will just rip again.
>>322303262
ok but if i get it for pc will it break after a few months.
>>322312601
You're a piece of shit if you don't think AA is the end all be all of batteries.

>>322313001
They cant make it one piece because Nintendo has it patented.
>>322313001
>and the Dpad is STILL that fucking segmented crap
Funny you mention that, Vita of all things has a D-Pad that's one complete piece of plastic and it's fucking god tier. Like, you probably have to go back to 4th or 5th gen to find a D-Pad that good. I don't know why the DS4 doesn't use that kind of D-Pad when Sony has clearly shown they know how to do it.
>>322303262
The shoulder buttons are a bit weird but I've gotten used to them. The dpad is a thousand times better than the 360 version but I don't like the placement.
>>322306596
are your thumbs literally knives or something
Vita Dpad is god tier
>>322313197
Why can xbawks do it then?
>>322313429
They can't in the same way Nintendo does. The way its shaped allows it to be one piece, and external of the controller. Xbone is one piece, but internal, Thats why New 3DS and Wii U have the best D pad this gen.
>>322313334
Im guessing you didn't read the follow up comments about how not a single one of my earlier consoles despite far more gametime never had the same issues? Or how this was a widely reported issue acknowledged by Sony, which even resulted in them releasing revisions of the controller with different types of rubber on the thumbsticks?

every other dpad feels like trash in comparison
having to use an X1/360 dpad after using the vitas is essentially torture
>>322313568
Internal as in, within a recession on the controller?
I'm not sure I follow what you're saying.
Do you have a link or something?
>>322313842
I'll look for one hold up
My understanding is that the Xbone Dpad is within a recession on the controller whereas Nintendo dpads protrude from the controller. However I was wrong, the patent for Nintendo's Dpad expired in 2006 so technically anyone could copy them now.
I need a gamepad for emulation. What's the best option? I already have 360 one but fuck if I want to use that horrible pad.
>>322310169
This controller is not only one of my favorites of all time, but my favorite of this gen. It's 10 bucks cheaper too than the ps4 and Xbox one controller, which just puts the icing on the cake.
>>322314053
They wont have been able to patent the whole generic idea, only a specific implementation of how to achieve it.
>>322312912
>build it yourself
>not being the best part
fucking consoledrones. MOOOOM why don't my alien ware run these games at forekay!
>>322314109
As a PC Gamer I'd get one, but the whole digital triggers make it worthless as the only games I play with a controller are driving type games. I need control of my acceleration in many games, not 100% or 0%.
>>322306596
i've had my ps4 for 2 years and the rubber is still perfectly fine, the d-pad tho is getting fucked
>>322314109
Don't you need to buy the adapter too to use it on PC?
>>322306596

Here, a 2£ solution for your 60£ problem
Just get the cheapest thumbstick protectors at any store.
I would have thought that after the first time you would think to buy some, but no.
>>322314828
>spend £60 on a controller
>expected to pay extra because of a quality control issue
kek lap that shit up anon and tell me it's good
>Start and select
>Two thumbsticks
>4 buttons
>Dpad
>2 bumpers
>2 triggers
This is the basic premise for almost every modern controller today.
Do any of you see anything else being added in the future aside from gimmicky bullshit like touch screens or motion control?
>>322314775
It's a standard mini USB cable, or you can use a bluetooth adaptor.
Then you need to run a programme to trick your PC into thinking it's a 360 controller.
What's wrong with Wii U trigger?
>>322315063
On the Pro controller? They're digital, which means they're just buttons. There's no degree of control. You can't half press them down and have 50% input. They're 100% or nothing.
>>322303262
>Bumpers are shit
>Home button is awkward
Has a better start and select button than the ps4 though
>>322314828
I got those initially. They were horrible, made the thumbsticks feel too big, they kept slowly twisting around the thumbstick during play.
So as I posted above, I ripped apart the controller and replaced them with XB1 thumbsticks I got for £2.50 off Ebay.
>>322303262
I like both
I'd probably pick an xbone controller over the DS4 for an all around controller on PC as the DS4 is a bit small for me but I like the share button on the DS4.
Gods gift to gamers.
I just got a quick third party wired ds3 controller with solid reviews on amazon and it works fine. Xbone controllers are fucking expensive
How long until it turns to shit? No idea. I only use it for 2d games anyway.
>>322315321
go back to your swamp with those sausage fingers, anon
gaming is for humans not ogres
>>322308483
This, i wish the dpad wasnt mushy though, i want a clicky dpad.
>>322315321
>tfw loved the Duke Controller
If I could have a Duke, with bumpers instead of the awkward black and white buttons I'd be so happy.
I briefly had one on PC, you could cut the cable and solder it to a USB male connector. It worked natively in Windows XP too.
>>322315417
You're thinking of this anon.
The only people who couldn't handle an S were little girls.
How come there's no controller with analog triggers, a sweet dpad, ergonomic design, etc?
Which one would be the best for fighting games?
>>322315417
That's the S controller, it's not big
>>322315610
Apparently they make an adapter that replaces the breakaway part of the cable. I want to try this on PC now, I've had a Duke laying around since I stopped using my Xbox.
>>322315821
None unless the game was designed with them in mind like like MKX
>>322315902
Had no idea about the adaptor, the 360 had been out for a few months and my OG Xbox had just died, I enjoy dicking with stuff just to see if it can be done so I figured I had nothing to lose. Was pleasantly surprised when XP recognised it as a generic USB controller with no special drivers needed.
>>322303262
I try to play with my controller but I always end up going back to keyboard mouse. Once I get a bigger monitor that will let me lie down in my bed and play then I'll go back to the xbox controller.
>>322315810
Obama's been in office for the past 7 years.
>>322315957
Let's assume it does.
Which one?
>>322315810
DS4 is probably the closest. I find most D-Pads on USB PC controllers to be pretty terrible. XB1 dpad is just "ok". Not shit like 360's.
DS4 has decent analogue triggers, great D-Pad and is the most ergonomic Playstation controller to date, however having large hands they still cramp up eventually (takes several hours as opposed to 30 minutes the DS3 lasted with me)
>>322316163
Hori Fighting Commander Pro 4 or Xbone controller
So this was funded apparently. Any of you fund this?

I have the HFC4 it's a meme controller literally, there is nothing of any use for fighting games in it, it's just something they sell as "the controller for fighting games".
Every competitor use either wii pu pro, xbone or PS1/PS4 controller.
I'll try the xbone I guess, thanks.
>>322316163
For traditional fighters most pros use a fight stick like this instead of a normal controller.
>>322316373
looks like the 3rd party controller that people joke about making their guests use
I wish more people get to try out the elite controller
It's fucking great
>>322316373
what the fuck
looks like one of those horrible FPS MASTER PS1 controllers they used to sell
>>322303262
The triggers and buttons feel like a straight downgrade compared to the 360 having problems with them not responding after a year of use thinking about getting the elite.
>>322314071
prease respondo
>>322316373
For what reason.
>>322316542
>>322316612
>>322316614
>>322316692
The appeal is supposed to be that you can separate it into two and use half the gamepad with a mouse or keyboard for the other hand
It honestly sounds good in theory but I know nothing about it outside of what it's supposed to do
>>322316373
MadKatz do kickstarters now?

>meme controller
>has 6 face buttons so you don't have to use shoulders
>Every competitor use either wii pu pro, xbone or PS1/PS4 controller.
You're retarded
If you cared about what "competitors" did you'd get a stick and if you knew anything about "competitors" you'd know wireless controllers are banned at events
>322316614
It's probably the same dude retrying his idea after 12 years of cursing the world that his invention never took off.
>>322303262
i have a controller fetish, and my best controller award is a tie between the ps4/wii u pro. the dpad and bumpers on the bone is a fucking joke.
>>322303262
I think all the current controllers are pretty good. Steam controller doesn't count.
>>322316656
buffalo SNES pad for anything that doesn't need an analog stick
>>322305380
having no physical dpad is a critical failure.
I have a thing for collecting controllers, is the Xbone elite controller really as good as people say? What actually makes it drastically better over a regular Xbone controller?
>>322316583
I hear your suggestion, but if I wanted to ask about a good stick I would have asked so, I'm not an uneducated cunt.
I tried to get used to sticks, but I couldn't, I'm always a pad players no matter what fighting game.
I'm just looking for some controller that has a precise d-pad, something that doesn't fuck up my move like inputing a diagonal when I'm pressing down.
Which happens a lot with the DS3.
Unfortunately controller cost a lot for some reason, just because they got some gimmicky microphones and headset plug.
>>322316751
>use half the gamepad with a mouse or keyboard for the other hand
That actually does sound pretty rad...in theory. I have no idea how that's supposed to actually work out, though.
Has anyone tried any avenger products?
This shit looks crazy.
>>322316751
razer had something like that and I don't think it got any traction
>>322317003
What the actual fuck.
>>322316754
You get used to shoulders with practice.
The Hori Fighting commander is literally a meme controller.
It has this gadget thing where you can rotate the D-pad for absolutely no other purpose than make people believe the have easier diagonals, in fact when you play it can happen that this same d-pad rotates alone because its sloppy as fuck.
Then the hold isn't as big as any of the latest controller so it doesn't feel comfortable, it's long in one side short in the other, this also doesn't sit good with your mind when you're playing.
Buttons are fragile, and D-pad hurts a lot when you input circular motions.
>>322316935
Buy that super expensive xbox elite controller.
>>322317003
Why do companies even bother to make add-ons to a controller? I guess its fine if its a color overlay skin or rubber things over the sticks but stuff like that is horrible. There is absolutely no reason to have that.
>>322317145
You might be the dumbest person on /v/

Here's some footage of it.
>>322317020
Do you know what it was called?
>>322317381
Because I don't like your meme controller?
Whatever, it doesn't seem anybody is seriously using this pad anyway.
>>322317239
Because people always have, and probably always will continue to buy them.
>>322304567
The buttons below, what are they for?
>>322317908
Oh shit, I remember shit like that for my gbc.
Shit was so cash it made my balls hurt.
Really made the line between middle class and upper middle class palpable.
>>322317908
Final Form Game Boy was amazing though
>"the best"
>digital-only triggers
>>322318162
The triggers are analogue.
The only controller with digital triggers is the Wii U Pro.
>>322312076
Not him, but I don't want to pay for extra stuff that I'll never use.
Batteries are costly and if you never use them they might degrade, the wireless dongle has only one purpose, and the micro USB cable Microsoft ships the XBone controller with is notoriously fragile.
So basically you have to pay for an option that you'll probably never take advantage of, and will probably expire after a while. Not to mention the fact that wired connections are more reliable.
This is like having to order a pepperoni pizza even though you only want a cheese pizza, because "you can just remove the pepperoni if you don't like it".
>>322318118
Mapping face buttons to them so you don't need to take your thumbs off the sticks.
>>322317749
The Razer Nostromo was an ergonomically shaped peripheral that had an analog stick and a keypad that was intended to be used in conjunction with a mouse
>>322317425
Holy shit that is retarded
>>322318429
Oh, I always thought of that as something more for MMOs
I have an elite controller for my pc I don't even own a xbox one love the controller though
