PS4 controller would have been a better buy.
>you can do wired and wireless
>has touchpad that is usable on pc
>great design and build
if only they did something like an "elite" ps4 controller, without the extra buttons I would like a more solid design with better buttons to have it last longer.
>>
>>323796292
>>323796351

Wanted to buy a normal x360 gamepad but their system shat itself so ended buying this. Whats so bad about it except the ergonomy and dpad?

Beeing poor is an issue, ps4 gamepad is costly and wireless is a turn off plus no xinput, so ps4 is a bad descision for pc gaming.
>>
>>323796548
DS4Windows is what I use for drivers and mapping, it works for everything and is much better than just plugging it in directly without doing anything extra. So far I have not had any issues whatsoever in any game. Considering I can map keys to any of the buttons it just werks no matter what. Analog input works fine as well.

Have it, its not comfy to hold and god knows why they made the RT and LT buttons spring loaded. not to mention why the arrow keys are loose as fuck and you never know which direction you pressed it.

Only redeeming quality is that it has playstation controller layout and that its fairly cheap and available compared to other options. Good PC support as well (with xbox mode one click away) so you wont have to deal with any software hassle that you may encounter with others.

Its not a totally bad choice though, the controller market is fucked up in general and if you would have come here for advice your would have gotten shilled for a X360 controller instead. It didn't cost you an arm and a leg and you ended up with something useful at least.

Controllers not bad except I remember it not having rumble? Not completely sure about that but be careful with the wire. Mine just randomly came out of the controller after it was snagged on something.
For my pc I just use a combination of ps3 controllers, 360 controllers and GameCube controllers. When people come over they have a choice of which one they wanna use. Ps3 is much better for fighting games and all around gaming. 360 excels for shooting games though.

Looking to buy an Xbone controller, do I need to get a play and charge kit or does the controller work without batteries if it's plugged in?

It's a good controller, don't listen to the other posters.

The only downside of said controller is that the triggers are not that comfortable.

I would be careful about a DS4 honestly. All 3 controllers I've used have had defective left analog sticks where it jumps around at a specific spot thus causing you to walk in certain games or change directions slightly. Build quality and battery life is also generally not very good in my opinion. Nothing trumps the dualshock 3 at this time. Maybe that $100+ XBone controller?

im gonna ask here, I used a DS3 and it was good so far until I had a problem when I was using the left analog stick and it was pushing random buttons.

What gamepad I should buy? between quality and price what I should aim for?
>>
>>323798914
I am glad that it works for you anon but this is the first feature I disable in all my games. Just kills my concentration, moves the gamepad out of my comfort zone so I need to readjust it in my hands and gives me a weird feeling in my bones (i am very thin). whatever works I guess

The customization comes from steam software you could change button layouts using other software and way. The circe pads are neat, but I cant tell if its the games or the control that making aiming so shitty with it. And the d-pad blows ass

DS2 is safe, you can use all kind of mods and tools and injects while scholar is really silly in this regard. Never use any interceptions or injects with sotfs, ever is all i can suggest.

Oh and the community seems larger than on the 360 + you can see how many people are at what bonfire. not to shill but to each their own and i am glad i bought it.
>>
>>323799542
My friend uses it to play the original Witcher, using the tracjpad to navigate menus and the face buttons and stick for combat. It obviously works well for any game you'd use a regular controller for. It also opens the door for games that are made for use with the Steam controller which could be interesting. My only problem is that the circle pads a very sensitive and touch controls don't feel particularly intuitive, but you could probably get used to that sort of stuff quite quickly.
>>
>>323800619
ok rey mysterio, I cant argue cos I myself am sitting on some weird ass dpad right now and as some anon stated earlier, the controller markt ist really fucked up at that point but buying steam drm'd gamepad seems too jewish even if it has its uses. Still, if you want to use your gamepad for pc games why not just use xpadder, how are trackingballs disguised as touchpads better than analog sticks. I guess i need to try it out first but thanks for the input
>>
>suddenly hating on Logitech

For what purpose
>>
>>323801106
the trackpads are good for mouse controls, so you don't have to constantly switch between mouse and controller, and they make pretty nice dpads for item quick-selection or whatever.

It also has these really nice buttons at the back which are satisfying to use

Bleh, fucking horrible. I got mine a week earlier than initial release (some sort of shipping error). Bad bad bad controller. The only thing it is really good for is mouse control in isometric shit or on a desktop. FPS? Nope. Anything that requires accuracy is really just nope.

I was so hyped for this thing too. Just no good.

Yes I'm op, just got the ltechf310, it will do its job suppose, will see about that in the next game pad thread. At least you are not shilling it, as a semi valve drone I am still really skeptical because I prefer mouse and keyboard for PC and use game pads exclusively for ports, so the steam game pad doesn't fall in any category, but maybe for grand strategy because its slow or stuff like civilization, but not some competitive gaming.

My hands are kind of big, yeah. The DS4 has about the same spacing between it's handles as the x360, though the handles themselves are a bit rounder. If there is a gamepad out there similar to the Gamecube's controller, I'd recommend that to you, as it's super comfy, but a bit too small for me.

I have the same one.

No problems after 6+ months of heavy use, though the triggers take some getting used to. They're a little more resistant than they need to be and they're not a terribly comfortable shape, but they're totally serviceable. If you play fighting games you might have issues doing certain commands on the d-pad, since it's all one solid piece. Again, you can get the hang of it with time. The pressure detection on the triggers and analogue sticks is sensitive enough for racing games, though, so I can't complain.

I got probably 6 years out of the previous logitech pad I bought so I'm hoping this one holds up too. The logitech button in the middle turns on big picture mode on steam regardless of whether you map it, so be ready for that.
>>
>>323802751
would be perfect, i remember the ergonomic of the GameCube, it has some weird layout but shit the spacing was alright. If i can find one with native xinput, this would be $$$. Bonus points for a Dinput switch for dem pre 2004 era games.

BTW, F310 has only a 1.6 m cable which obviously is too short, so thats a negative point.
>>
>>323795989
Get used to rebuying it every year if you like it, it breaks so easy. It's designed to break if you open it up. The cord is wrapped around a little pole on the inside in a way that pulls it out of play over time, and it's those little tiny wires so you can't repair it unless you're good at soldering.

If you claw grip though it's literally the best controller though. You'll kick everyones ass if you're good at games.
>>

I've always found the wii u pro controller to be just about perfect. It has the symmetrical analog sticks which I loved about the playstation controller but it feels like a 360 controller. I've been using one on my pc for a while now.

>>323803053
There's probably somebody out there who managed to hook up a GC controller to his PC. If my hands were a bit smaller I'd be using that and nothing else. I love how curvy the handles and triggers are. If I could get a gamepad like that, but slightly more spaced out and with a few more buttons, I'd probably never use anything else again. But for now, I'll stick with my DS4 I guess. Never did me wrong. not yet anyway.

The first thing mentioned by the review site is the sturdiness
(http://gamepad-review.toptenreviews.com/logitech-gamepad-review.html)
so we have a conflict here. And as some anons stated they are using the game pad for over 3 years (one anon) now (the other stated around 3-6 months). But you are right with the cord, didn't payed enough attention to it, x360 has double the thickness at the front where the cord is going into the game pad and the self-destruction is somehow really fucking weird so thanks for mentioning, one need to be more careful. As long as I am aware claw-gripping is only used in monster hunter and heavy out of pause inventory management games. Which games would need claw gripping, I am really interested in this technique as Ive seen it mentioned here quite often.(My main series are dark souls and soon dragons dogma). Would i benefit from clawgripping in those games?

Is there any way to get a DS4 controller to 100% function as a 360 controller?

Any game where the right stick is used for camera, aiming, or movement and the face buttons actually have a use like reloading, opening doors, switching inventory etc. If you claw grip you can always be repositioning the camera or adjusting your aim while moving, opening doors, jumping over shit, or whatever else without losing the ability to fire, punch, or whatever the game calls for.

>>323803861
How are you controlling the right pad with your thumbs and using it to press the buttons at the same time? Because the right stick is above the face buttons you either have to use your index finger to move the right stick, which makes it inaccurate and awkward, or switch between the right stick and button faces which is slow. Wii U Pro is garbage.

a lot of controllers work in fighting games but none as well as a stick

i just use a 360 pad when i really want a controller but i rarely use on so it's kind of whatever.

I have one of these and I think it works fine. Only complaint is that maybe the springs on the triggers are a little too strong. Fingers end up cramping after pressing down on them too long during long hours of gaming.

Duly noted, my brother has a PS4 and I saw how mangled the rubber is on his sticks. I've been a lot more careful with mine from the outset, and since I don't use my DS4 on games that are too reaction-based, I should be okay (I usually just use it on games like Oblivion, Skyrim, Garry's Mod (If you want to know how I get away with that I can fill you guys in) and a few other games). I even got a mapper, for games that don't have native controller support, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (Yes I know it isn't wise to use a controller on that game, just wanted to know if it could be done, and it can).

Does the Xbone controller work out of the box or do I need to buy an Xbone to PC USB 2.0 adapter shit? Playing Rebirth 3 with the DS4 was shitty as fuck.

PS: This is obviously on my to-do list as the GameCube has better spacing for smaller hands, although it need x360ce to work with x input reliant games. (Cant use it because of Scholar of the first sin but maybe Dark 3 wont be as restrictive and paranoid)

Why did the N64 have so many fucking buttons? I just can't find a comfortable layout on my Xbone controller.

I just wanna play harvest moon and some crimer stole my actual N64 controller + adaptoid from my dorm room that time I went to college.
>>
>>323804235
Where can I get one of those? I have a few old GC controllers laying around, I'd love to try using it on some PC games (just for shits and grins of course)
>>
>>323804952
>GameCube has better spacing for smaller hands

So that's why people on this board fawn over it so much. I always thought the controller was sound but the face button layout was dumb and the triggers weren't sensitive enough. But the fact that it was made for baby hands makes sense now.

>>323805069
Because the c-buttons were basically a right stick. If you take that into consideration it has a shit ton less buttons than modern controllers(2 face buttons, 3 top buttons if you count z). If you're playing on PC, map the c-buttons to the right stick of a newer controller and Z to R2.

>Garry's Mod
I sense some masochism anon, nevertheless Ive done similar stuff with World of Warcraft and it amazes me how versatile a game pad can be with the right tools and dedication although, as already stated. Native PC games are better played with Keyboard and Mouse and my game pads find its use only in ports or games that rely more on positioning than camera control.(Gothic 1 is fucking fantastic with a gamepad, go try it out Ive beaten the whole game with it, but stay away from Gothic 2 it has a more aggressive camera lock on and is more pandering towards keyboard and mouse)
>>
>>323805069
Well, considering the N64 only had 1 thumstick, they had to have an extra D-pad (hence the C-pad buttons). I just wish that controller wasn't built for Ayy Lmao with three hands. Or, I wish I had three hands. That would solve quite a bit, actually.
>>
>>323805453
N64 is not that bad if you grip it from the outside. If you use the inside grip the stick has bad control and you have to switch to use d-pad and L.
>>
>>323805413
To be completely honest, I only use the DS4 on Garry's Mod because my mouse broke and I've been too lazy to get another one. Just use a trackpad for mouse options right now (I play on a semi-toaster laptop, obviously not the best for games but money's tight). It's surprising how well Gmod works with a DS4 though, I can do anything people with Mouse and Keyboard can, Minus a few buttons and fine-aiming.

As long as it works, its the part of the charm and gets only better if you get it working on a toaster. (upgraded my toaster just 6 or so months ago and some of the magic is gone, really. Now it is, do i play the game in 1080 or 720p and to be quite hones, it doesn't matter as I always been on a toaster rocking 1024x786 and didn't give a shit for over 6 years).

>>323806491
How do you push up? By curling your index finger under the right stick and flicking it up, or by placing your index finger on the center of the right stick and pressing up? Either way that's hilarious, awkward, and inaccurate.

Yeah, this laptop wasn't a cheap, run-of-the-mill work computer, but it wasn't designed as a gaming laptop, either. Got it for just over $1000, although it was on sale at the time. It can run Skyrim with the HD textures at full graphics, and get just under 30fps. Obviously, I tune down the graphics so I can get at least 45-60 fps. The problem I always have with newer games is the lighting. I often only have to turn the lighting settings down a notch or two to get a game running normally at 15-20 fps to get to about 50-60fps.

Is the PS4 the best controller for emulation/general gaming?

The D-pad is a lot better than the 360's.

I never understood whats the problem with it when almost all pads are just the same piece of plastic.

Has ever been one controller with individual buttons for the "directional cross"?

I had a gt 545 and well, dead rising 3 and dying light showed how old this badboy really got so i just bought a 750ti and now am running most of the stuff im interested in 1360x786 60 fps. basicly 150€ for another 4 years. Bought my shit for 500€ was premade and without ueffi which locks out upgrades but thanks to a youtuber, i found a workaround and after some updates it now just werks, somehow. Overall its amazing how shit modern consoles are that a cheap as prebuild is still able to handle them just for 150 more yuropoor dollar
>>
>>323808098
oh uhm i need to correct myself its everything from 720p to 1080 p but mostly depends on how new the game is and how far the brightness slider goes. you see if using 720p it uses the pc internal brightness but everything above uses the tv brightness so it gets a lot darker therefore i am most of the time forced to use 720 which is a nonissue as stated above, i am used to lower resolutions.

Is it a good idea to buy a 360/one gamepad to play PC games with? Or does it not have as good compatibility as the designated "for PC" 360 controllers?
Using a DS3 atm but I want retard-proof connection and compatibility.

>>323808895
DS3 is retard proof if you use scp drivers

360 comes with integrated xinput (watch for it on the box when buying a gamed for pc, if there is only dinput stay away). Xinput is natively supported.

That, along with the wireless F710, is a really bad control pad. Shitty dpad disc thing, analogues are dreadful, triggers spongy and buttons feel cheap.

>>323810531

analogues are miles ahead of the 360 (more sensitive, i have 5 of them lying around here,, 4 of them are of4 years old tho, the other just heavily used)
dpad is shit on all of them except on the d4 so no fanboism.
the only legit argument are the triggers and yes they are fucking hard and difficult to press down but overall this shit is like 24€ or 10€ on ebay so who cares, play for 2 months and throw against a wall if you arent a poor ragdog

>>
>>323811408
I don't like the 360 pad at all but I haven't used it enough to compare the analogue sticks. What I will say is that the analogues in F310 are not very good either, it has serious deadzone issues that are beyond fixable with a firmware update (just google that shit, there's lots of complaints about it and you'll notice it when you try to do something very accurate moving. Like move forward and try to move just slightly to the side, you have to push too much for it to move at all.)

but yeah, it's quite cheap, it's xinput, it's usable
>>
>>323811784
Cant argue here. Would love to try one of the newer gens like xbone and dual4. Any experience with them?
>>
>>323812168
nope, i'm in the process of buying a new pad myself and was considering either of those. I'm using the DS3 right now but it's dying on me and pain in the ass to get to work on PC. I've heard that the DS4 has poor build quality (or was it just a launch issue?) and the xbone pad seems alright, dunno how i feel about the clicking d-pad though.
>>
>>323812337
Im op and following this thread from the beginning. I can tell you that much D4 (ps4) has the best dpad but the thumbs are quite trashy and the 3d party software needed to activated xinput is somewhat a redflag because of games like scholar of the first sin which are notorious for beeing paranoid and softbanning idc much about other programms but vac can be a bitch too so one must be more carefull. (lurk the thread around the half, or strg/ctrl+f and search ps4, some anon stated the name of the 3rd party software needed to get ps3/4 gamepad working) nobody said a word about the xbone yet, im quite surprised so we can just hope and wait. sorry 4 grammar im fucking tired
>>
>>323808992
This. I prefer the DS3 to my 360 gamepad, and this maps the buttons perfectly without installing chinese software.
>>
>>323812771
xbone pad works without any third party software/drivers afaik so it has that going for it I guess.
>>
>>323813092
its too big for me, but looks really good its definitely most /fa/ gamepad with the steam controller somewhere on the 2d/3d. I think its the most expensive, too. So this could be one of the reasons noone posts it who knows, am dying to know how it fairs compared to the mentioned gamepads. (oh, and fuck street names)

>>
>>323795989

I got F310 too at one point. I used it for a year and it ended up being a piece of shit.

D-pad went so unresponsive that i had to play with the sticks. The sticks have deadzones which makes platforming almost unplayeable. I remember when i tried to complete Ninja Shadow of Darkness with that, it really brought animalistic rage out of me when i was trying to complete Icy Wilderness level.

Ill stick to ds4 from now on that i have it.
>>
>>323814234
Yeah, the lifespan lies somewhere between 6 months and 3 years as steated somewhere somewhen in this thread and it has many cons. Its just the price and sturdiness of the gamepad itself, obviously its not a contender for xbone/DS4 but still, DS4 is supposed to have its problems so its not really worth the money, i would go with D3 at this point or a gamecube one. Still waiting for someone to come around and tell something about the xbone one.
