I want to buy a USB controller for PC emulation, and I wanted to know if this one was of any quality.
>>
>>333295440
If you want to play fighting games or old arcade games get a fight stick
If you want to emulate console games and use the stick, xbox 360 controller
If you want to use the d pad, ps3 or ds4 controller

Buffalo SNES controller
Saturn Model 2 Pad+Mayflash USB adapter
Gamecube controller+adapter
Dualshock 4

All of those are good to try to get the genuine experience.

>If you want to use the d pad, ps3 or ds4 controller
But those aren't wired.
>>
>>333295831
360 controller isn't wired either.
micro usb cables are just for charging the controller and then play when it is done. Don't try to use a controller plugged with a micro usb cable, it will break. They are utter shit and disconnect so you get raped when they do in games that require to be alert all the time.
I dunno about actual pc usb controllers sadly, so I can't recommend any.

MAME? Get arcade stick, possibly a cheap wheel that's configurable in mame and you're set.
Snes usb buffallo controller for the 16 and 8 bits games, 360/xone/ps4 for more modern things.

I like the Madcatz Fightpad. I have the Chun Li one from SFIV.

The Buffalo SNES pad is supposed to be a good choice also. I'll probably get one eventually. I have a USB NES pad also, which is decent although it's just as shitty to use as an official one, but that's kind of the point.

This. The d-pad and buttons are great, but the analogs are the only real letdown. Otherwise a good controller.

Sega Saturn USB pads are so flimsy. I think I went through two of them in the course of a few months - before both of the d-pads broke on them.

Are there good D-Pad controllers, or am i better off with the Saturn + Mayflash? I already have a Saturn controller.

neither d-pad nor buttons on that controller are good. they don't have a good feel/travel to them.

acceptable is not "good". 360 pad for instance blows away the 310 on buttons and analogs.

There's really no good modern controller for emulating 2d shit that requires dpad.

This dpad was so good. Emulated many stuffs with this dpad.

I think a lot of people in this thread are confused. OP wants to know if the Pokken Controllers is just a quality controller for emulation, he is not asking for fightpad advice.

The D-pad is nice. It might feel a little mushy at first depending on what you're used to, but it's very responsive and you can hit the corners nicely. It's a lot bigger than most D-pads also, which is a great feature since they don't have to fit any analog sticks on it.

Yeah. Mayflash has a 4-player adapter that's compatible with both PC and Wii U, and they also have a 2-player PC only one. I have the latter and it works nice, though I might upgrade to the 4-player version.

I had a wireless 360 controller and the receiver broke. I was able to fix it by bypassing a burned out fuse on it and it's worked fine ever since, but cracking that thing open was a pain in the ass.

Currently I have an Xbox One controller although tbqh it's a bit overpriced unless you can get it on sale. If you buy the controller, the charge kit, and the wireless dongle at the MSRP you're looking at around $100. I got an Elite Forces one on sale last Christmas for about $40, but of course then I went and bought the chatpad so in total I've still spent about $100 on it, plus the rubbery thumb grips that I put on all of my controllers. Plus, I had to put them on top of a smaller set of grippy caps, because the Xbox One's thumbsticks are too damn small to fit my regular ones otherwise, although the same was true of my DS4.
>>
>>333296563
>wire broke in 6months
>won't touch them ever again

I believe that is what is referred to as user error. I still have my 2007 chalky white 360 controller that I use for PC gaming. The left stick is so worn out i've worn it down to the plastic base the silicon or rubber piece sits on. Still more solid and well built that the xb1 controller.

I got one from eBay, pretty sure it was real but it kinda sucked. I got MAJOR drift on the left stick after about 2 months and the buttons are mushier than the 360. D pad was a dream but the click didn't seem to line up with the response, so of i held down a direction and changed the pressure I was putting on the depressed switch it would activate and deactivate :/. In the end I just threw the thumb sticks on my wireless 360 controller and am back to that.

the probably best and most expensive way is to use the WiiU GC controllers adapter, you can plug it on your PC if you have 2 spare USB ports, then download the driver for Dolphin

>>333303180

I never used one but it looks comfy, honestly I dont like to keep my hands held together when using a controller, I'd put some distance between them if I could - like on that one
>>
>>333306053

So I can find a ton more complaints from retards like you who swung their controller around by the usb cable or just literally snapped it in like a retard?

No thanks, and yes, I'm paid by the USB standardization commitee.
The micro is slightly fragile - yet in nearly a decade of using it in my phones and now on the ds4 I never broken a single one
The micro would break you before you broke it.
>>
>>333306280
I meant the mini in the second one, not that it matters you probably broken everything you could and then blamed the boogeyman
>>
>>333306068
It was a very different experience, for sure. It was great for playing an MMO like PSO back when typing was a lot more important since we didn't have voice chat. If you prefered distance between your hands it was a good choice though, and I'm sure that there are physically disabled people who would have greatly appreciated a controller like that.

These days chatpads are a pretty good option for MMOs since you usually don't have to type out very big or complex messages due to voice chat being so readily available.

You are a silly person, saying that the N64 had no good titles. It does have very few though.

as for a list:

SM64, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, DK64, Mario Kart 64, Mario Party 1/2/3, Mario Tennis, OoT, Fedora's Mask, Smash Bros, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Pokémon Stadium 1/2, Gauntlet Legends, Rogue Squadron, Bomberman 64, Diddy Kong Racing, F-Zero X, Paper Mario, Star Fox 64, SW Episode I Racer

some of these might have been multiplat, but I'm pretty sure that most multiplats on PS1 were simmilar but in lower resolution/frame rate (except for Mortal Kombat Trilogy, N64 got shafted hard in that one, game's the same except you get no bosses to play as on the N64)

USB Micro is pretty much the worst thing to happen to electronics, ever. It's extremely fragile and way too hard to keep track of which side is up. I don't see what was wrong with Usb Mini. It was durable and reliable, and I don't need built-in HDMI out on my fucking Dualshock 4.

USB 3.1 type C sounds like a massive improvement and supposedly the main motivation behind it was to be sturdier and more reliable, and it's also reversible so you don't have to worry about shoving it in upside-down. Unfortunately it's going to be years before Micro USB is completely washed away because it's so readily available. I just hope that when Gen 9 rolls around they put 3.1 Type C on the controllers and don't keep these awful micro USB cords. I'd rather have a proprietary connector that's a pain in the ass to replace than Micro USB as long as it's durable, and that's another reason I bought a PS Vita 1000 instead of the 2000.

Get ps4 controller, it has all the buttons for classic games while still having modern controls that don't get in the way.

I did, but some "hardcore gamers" say that it lags or some shit.

You would be better of with a simple gamepad and/or a PS3/PS4 controller.

>>333309854

And what hardcore games you are playing and why do you listen to irrelevant bullshit, ofcourse theres a bigger delay with wirelessly - and ofcourse its imperceptible to a human.

Why would I ever want analog sticks if I'm just gonna be emulating old consoles on it?

I have a 360 controller if I really need something with sticks.

I have the stock PS4 Micro USB, the deluxe PowerA version with the PS branding, and the Xbox One charge kit USB cable. Both of the PS4 ones work fine, though I prefer the PowerA one because it's a bit longer and looks nicer. If you are a stickler for aesthetics that might matter, but honestly that's a somewhat superficial reason for picking one cable over another and I don't think it matters to most people.

The Xbox One cable is nice in that it matches the controller, is very long and has a charge indicator light which is a welcome feature. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work as a regular data cable for phones and stuff. You can at least use it to play the Xbox One controller without the wireless dongle, but I'm guessing Microsoft did something silly with how it's wired to make sure you didn't use it with other devices, either because their fiercely competitive or because they don't want people using it around the house for other stuff and breaking it on accident.

I sometimes play racing games, those need you to react fast.
Third person shooters and side scroller shooters too.
But I am 30 years old, so I doubt that a few ms count for me much.

Well I don't have an Xbone, so I don't know how the cable is, I just bought one for my PC

If you are young, you reaction times are lightning fast though.
That just makes me think /v/ is full of 12-16 year olds.

Just buy a Wii U pro controller and buy a PC adapter for it.

>>333310650

Doesn't matter, bluetooth delay, with a proper adapter to a windows computer with drivers, is still irrelevant even to the hyperactive kids reaction times.
>>
>>333296563
Been using a wired 360 controller on the PC since 2008, first for emulation due to shitty comp and now for most vidya. Only damage is a bit of rubber coming off the left analogue stick. Look after your shit better.

Type C is rounded on the sides, and in metal structures rounded objects are the hardest to bend (think Captain America's shield for example). USB Micro had hard corners, which are easy to bend. Type C also has a rounded edge, which again adds to its rigidness because it's a reinforced structure and there's nothing that can bend around the edge. Lastly, it's a tiny bit thicker than Micro USB, which makes it that much more structurally resilient.

All the tech people are saying that Type C is a massive improvement in every regard. Hopefully it's good enough to be the industry standard for many years to come, although we'll have to wait until more products have it to see how it fares with the mass market. I'm sure some moron thought that Micro USB was brilliant until it actually left the laboratory and people started breaking it en masse, but I have a good feeling about Type C.
>>
>>333311049

Oh I guess in that picture it does look much more solid, good.
I hope the little 'fang' things are gone too, god I fucking hate that design, especially on displayport cables...
>>
>>333310614
I don't have an Xbone either. I bought the controller for my PC because 1) my Xbox 360 pad was getting a bit worn out after several years of use and maintenance, and 2) I wanted the built-in headphone jack and the chatpad support. Overall I'd say it's a more comfortable controller than the 360 pad, also, especially since they eliminated the battery bulge.

Yeah it has a nice smooth exterior. There are no hooks or teeth on it. Pretty much every complaint people had about Micro Type B was taken into consideration when designing Type C.

Also, the 3.0 Micro Type B was an asbolute shitshow. Micro Type B was designed around the USB 2.0 standard, and 3.0 Type B Micro is basically two Type B micros side-by-side. It was a complete eyesore, and was clearly an afterthought. Type C natively supports USB 3.1.

>>333311770

Good, I hope it can actually do the 100watt power stuff they were yelling about, I'd love to be rid of the big ass power cables and shit for my monitors, in fact I'd love to power my monitors through my PC, AGAIN!

>>333308407
How autistic are you that you made a screencap of 3 people saying a controller is bad as if it's definitive proof?
>>
>>333311950
I know the new Macbook Air uses Type C for its primary power supply. I guess we'll have to wait and see what kinds of PC accessories get adopted for the 3.1 standard, although it should be interesting and I think we're entering a new age of experimentation with it. At the very least, it should be nice to get a next-gen phone that actually charges properly without having to worry whether or not there's something wrong with the cable or connector.

Get a fight pad you fucking retard. Those d pads are infinitely better than the shit on standard controllers.

literally one of the best d pads

I see a lot of people saying it works for a while.
It was probably a defect.

The white ones had better cables. My first controller (a white one) lasted a year and a half, then I got a second generation that lasted one year. When it died I got a third generation and it lasted less than six month. After that I said fuck it and got a chrome controller and an adapter.
>>
>>333313665
Shit, thanks for the tip man.
I was about to buy a new one and all I can find here are black ones.
Can you still find new ps2 controllers in the US? I am tempted to import them if possible. Those are the best even after all these years and hopefully they last me until DS5 comes out and the issues are fixed by then.
>>
>>333314215
I am not sure, I friend of mine got a of ps2 controllers a couple last year in one of our local stores.

BTW, the white controller is still usable, it's just that the left stick button stopped working.

I would suggest getting a xbox one controller (second gen ofc)
>>
>>333296563
>trying FUD 360 controller when everyone and their dog has had them for years
>>
>>333315071
Or try getting a second gen controller, I am sure they can last more if you used them carefully, they were black and had gray sticks and dpad. The latter ones were completely black.
>>
>>333315535
Why do you fags always run to blame the user? I already said, my ps2 controller worked fine for years, same for my SNES controllers, they still work fine.
If I was the problem,then they would have broke much faster.
>>
>>333295686
>you want to use the d pad, ps3 or ds4 controller
If you want to use the Dpad then stay away from Sony's controllers too. DS have crappy Dpads, though not as bad as the 360. It's a single piece of plastic but is segmented above the case, if you want a modern controller with a good Dpad go for Xbone or Wii U pro if the weird button/stick layout doesn't bug you.
>>
>>333295440
nope
>>
>>333316565
I guess it is personal preference, _For me the d pad of ps3 controllers works just fine.
The one of 360 is horrible though, dunno about xbone.
>>
>>333302334
I'd recommend this adapter, bought one as a second to my official adapter for Smash and it's good. Works with PC out of the box, unlike the official Nintendo adapter.
>>
>>333304115
Unless you ever want to use the Dpad.
>>
>>333308560
Not the same guy, but I have constant problems with my sixaxxis and it'll lose connection for seemingly no reason.
>>
>>333316868
It works sure but it's still not great. I get unintended presses often enough for it to be annoying, and I just don't like the DS layout in general. Swap the stick and Dpad already and DS controllers always cramp my hands up more quickly than anything else.

3.0 type B Micro may have been a a fuckup but it still was smart enough to allow for backwards use of your 2.0 cables. They didn't need to reinvent the wheel just then, we weren't ready for 3.1 type c shenanigans back then.
