i need to get a controller for my PC for games like dark souls and emulators. which one would you recommend /v/?
Bone controller for 3D games.
Pokken, Saturn, or SNES controller for 2D.
>>341998247
Xbone
if you are in a budget
xbox360 wired
if you have some money
Xbone one with usb cable
"I have a shit lot of money to burn"
Xbone elite with wireless receiver
but mah DS4......
NO, a xbox360 wireless with a chinese charge and play kit will be better than the DS4 (and the battery will last longer)
DS4 because touchpad.
Do not fall for the 360 meme when the xbone controller exists. No reason at all to own a 360 pad anymore.
>>341998247
Why don't you just buy a controller made specifically for PC?
There are more options.
Go for it anon
https://xboxdesignlab.xbox.com
>>341999640
>80 for a piece of shit controller
No thank you.
>>341999638
That would be Xbox one controller. It's made specifically for Win10 PC which the Xbox happens to be.
>>341999693
Make it some other colour than brown then, you idiot.
>>341998247
The elite edition of the One controller.
>>341998247
Xbone if you're a manlet with manlet hands.
360 is the best controller though.
>>341999829
Elite controller doesn't support Bluetooth. A refresh to update it hasn't been announced.
>>341999737
No because I can buy a controller for cheaper.
Kill yourself you moron.
>>341998247
XBone controller 100%
Elite controller if that's a reasonable option for you
The Xbox design lab controller is Bluetooth now so it's also a great option.
DS4 meme, dont fall for it. The sticks wear very quickly, and the battery is garbage. Also need to run a separate program for it to work.
>tfw got ds4 for pc
>tfw the LED bar stopped working in 2 weeks
>tfw it stopped charging in a month and now only works wired
>tfw ds4windows is some chinese botnet+bitcoin farming malware that constantly uses 10% of cpu regardless whether the controller is even connected or not.
go for xbone/360, cant be worse than that
>>341999638
Honestly they are all garbage, show me a good one and maybe I'll change my tune.
Anyone got a recommendation for a controller to use with 2D games
>>341999332
>wireless receiver
have fun constantly changing batteries
>>342000164
forgot the pic
>>342000164
>ds4 is chinest botnet
How retarded are you?
I'm not surprised some dumbass who supports XInput favopurs getting a shitty Xbone controller. Please kill yourself.
>>342000318
XBone controller last for like 25 hours. Also rechargeable batteries.
>>341998247
Steam controller of course.
Steam Controller will likely be $35 again for the summer sale. That's the best gamepad for PC games and it can be ok for emulated games depending on what you're playing.
I cannibalized a gamecube controller that my friend's hamster ate the cord off, the only problem was that I had to turn down the voltage coming from USB to the controller.
If I recall correctly the rumble motor uses 5 volts, but the rest of the controller uses 3.
>>341998247
Get any dualshock because you'll hate the inaccurate garbage xbox dpads.
>>342000164
>using DS4windows
topkek
>>342000254
XBone controller has an amazing D-pad. So buy one and itll do everything.
>>341998247
Get a 360 or One. The DS4 is garbage.
>>342000461
i dont care about xinput vs dinput debate, i just want to play games and shit to work. DS4Windows has been constantly using cpu, 5 to 10%, now i don't really think its malware or whatever, more likely just shitty programming, i switched to SCPToolkit which now uses 0-1% cpu.
If you want analogue triggers and standard control scheme go for Xbox 360/Xbox One.
If you want amazing battery life, go for the WiiU Pro Controller + May flash adapter.
>>342000683
360 has a bad dpad
ONE has a great dpad
DS4 has an okay dpad
>>342000318
I've used my Xbox 360 controller for 200 hours and only needed to replace the batteries twice. It's no big deal.
>>342000695
I've only held the XBone controller in my hand - haven't played anything with it - but I will admit the d-pad felt really nice. How good is it for platformers and top down games?
>>341998247
xbox 360 wired is best value
xbox one controller for windows is best mid-budget
anything above that is for suckers
>>342000497
>Also rechargeable batteries
Also plug and play cable that charges them while you play/idle.
To all faggots complaining their things touch on DS controllers, how giving big are your hand? I have pretty big hands with relatively slim long fingers but not even once did my thumbs touch on DS controllers in all the years playing on PlayStation.
>>342000930
I think it's great, very clicky, not mushy at all.
>>342000015
if you don't personally see the value in the colors then you can still buy the regular ones for cheaper. No need to pay extra for customizing colors if you don't care for customized colors.
>>342000598
>Steam Controller
nobody has said anything good about playing pc games with the steam controller. there is a reason it's a piece of hardware getting discounted so heavily so often.
>>342000980
I think it all depends on how you rest your thumb on the analog stick. Some people over extend their thumb and it makes it hit.
>>341998247
>>342000015
Does being this poor always make you this angry?
>>342000254
Buffalo SNES Controller.
>>341999638
Because they all suck dick and most games with controller support use xbox or ps button prompts
>>342001314
Kill it with fire.
XBone Controller is the best one i held in my hands.
360 controller is still far and away the best, followed by probably the DS4 controller.
Xbox One controller still suffers from having terrible bumpers with those stupid upward angles on the inside that make clicking directly down with the tip of your fingers uncomfortable. If they just had the flat bumpers from the 360 pad it would be almost perfect.
>>342001413
It sucks. The center of the dpad pushes down too much.
DS3 or 360 is the best imo.
DS4 has the handy as fuck trackpad but the pause and select buttons are annoying to hit and the analogs are garbage.
>>342000945
Wired controllers are a hassle to have around a PC environment.
Xbone wireless locks you into Windows 10, and is ~45% more expensive than Xbox 360 wireless.
Xbox controller is great if you have severe chromosome abnormalities, but for normal handed people dualshock is the one.
>>342001923
Fuck off Jap.
>>342001923
Xbux is better because there's more distance between the 2 sticks due to its layout
>>342001716
They fixed the bumpers a while ago.
>>341998247
Neither, get a controller designed for pc
>>342001716
Do you feel the same about the v2 (headphone jack) controller regarding the bumpers?
>>342001923
i think you made typos
>dualshock is great if you have severe Chromosome abnormalities, but for normal handed people Xbox controller is the one.
>>342002037
Which is the new Xbox one S controller.
I have this, it's okay but it uses some weird material. It feels sticky all the time, would not recommend.
>>342001872
>Xbone wireless locks you into Windows 10
WTF, its worked on Linux since before it did on Windows. Did Microsoft really not add support for it on older versions of Windows?
>>342002037
What does that mean? A cheap Logitech controller? The Xbone controller was also made to work with Windows.
>>342002125
they added support to 7 and 8.1
>>342001923
You mean to say if you have baby hands the DS controllers are great.
>>341998247
xbox one controller has much higher build quality and is plug-and-play on PC. with ps4 you have to use third party software to get it working
>>341998247
If I hook my old 360 controller into my Windows 10 PC via play and charge cable, will it work like a wired controller? I just want to play emulators, but Yabause won't play nice with my Dualshock 4.
>>342002276
yup
>>341998247
Xbone. Better dpad for emulators. The rest is mostly up to taste but the dpad makes it the obvious choice if you want to emulate.
>>342002030
>>342002050
A cursory google tells me you're right both, I had no idea. I thought the only other controller they brought out was that super expensive one with all that button remapping shit. I'll have to check it out, thanks.
>>341998565
I find that the mechanical d-pad makes the Xbone controller GOAT for 2D as well.
>>342002276
nope, sadly not. the 360-controller still needs the wireless adapter
post your xboner waifu controllers
pic related, thinking about this one once they start shipping.
>>342000930
The d-pad is the best part about an already GOAT controller.
It's hard to go back anything else for any genre other than first person shooters. I legit like the mechanical d-pad more than my seimitsu stick.
Bit of an off-topic question, but can someone link me to a fucking screwdriver I can use to take apart my 360 controller? I have an old McFarlane Halo 3 special edition controller that I never intend to give up, but it's all gunked up inside and I need to clean it out for the buttons and shit to work without sticking.
But I don't have a tool long and thin enough to penetrate the tight holes that M$ gave these things.
>>342002619
>>342001314
The logitech wired controller is great and cheap af
>>342002686go outside you lazy piece of shit
>>342002562
Well, that sucks. My Dualshock 4 usually works fine via Bluetooth, but for certain things it just doesn't.
I try to button map in Yabause, but it freaks out halfway through and starts saying they're all mapped as soon as I click one. It works fine with any Steam game and other emulators, but not fucking Yabause.
>>342002480
The offset d-pad/buttons makes it worse.
>>342002686
just google precision mini screw driver set
>>341999693
>xbone controller
>peice of shit
Sonynigger pls.
>>341998247
I always use DS4 since I got it.
I like the fact that you can use the touch pad as a mouse, really helps with some games that have shit menus for controllers (they give you cursor to move with analog instead of locking you on options).
I never liked the xbox controller, although I don't hate it either.
Just go to a store and ask if you can hold both of them and pick the one you like more, there's really no better one aside from personal taste in my opinion.

>>342002761
>>342002619
I like my Chie. So much that I may actually order it.
Or just get a black one for $30 less.
>>342002120
There was one that just had a matte plastic surface, but didn't have the adjustable sticks.
I loved that controller when it worked, but it just broke too damn often.
>>342003089
>Liking Chie
You clearly can't handle a real game such as Shin megami tansei.
>>341998247
I just killed nameless king on SL61 on NG+6. I use a keyboard and mouse.
>>342003028
Thanks bruh. I know I could just Google this, but I was hoping someone might have an amazon link or some shit to a known "good" set that's widely used for this purpose.
>>342003078
Yeah, it's nice and simple. Evokes SNES and N64. I love Nintendo's old gray stuff.
>>342003560
I would like that more with monochrome buttons. I know it's not like classic Nintendo, but colored buttons look out of place on that controller.
>>341998247
Dualshock is garbage. Xbone controller by far more comfortable and designed to work on a windows machine. 360 isn't as good but still miles better than DS in every aspect but the D-pad but it is less expensive.
>>342002847
but you can get the wireless adapter for around 10$, it's not that much.
>want an excuse to get the xbox one pro controller
>hear about design labs
oh shit i can make like an evangelion pro controller fuck yes
>no pro controller customization
oh well. my dualshock 4 does the job well enough.
>>342003954
You mean this piece of shit?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gzj0f9SrBs
Save your money, just get the regular one.
>>342000598
>okay for emulated games
>no dpad
>>342004267
How the hell is that elite controller so screwed up? The one I have is solid as fuck.
>>342004352
Of all 3 people I know with an Elite Controller, 2 out of the 3 have had their bumpers pop out. One guy had it happen twice.
>>342004352
>I spent $150 on a game controller
>>342004507
I spent more than that. I got the wireless dongle.
>>342002761
The GCN is cute but the right stick sould be yellow.
>>342004267
i'm pretty lucky usually and i don't end up getting defective products (i buy tons of electronics and have built three PCs and all work swimmingly)
im sure microsoft has their kinks sorted out by now anyways. i really just like the pro controller for the extra buttons on the back. also it requires windows 10 so i'd probably never get it anyways.
>>342004269
It has a dpad
>>341998247
new Xbone pad with Bluetooth.
>>342004674
Yeah, I wish I could change that. Their customization options are missing just enough major elements to keep some really cool designs from being possible.
>>342004752
its virtual, like a phone game.
its good enuf for modern titles where the pad merely works as 4 extra buttons, for playing old games you will be using the stick instead.
I like the shape of the DS3 and 4 but they just feel cheap and light. I already have 4 360 controllers at home so I'm waiting for the bluetooth Xbone one
>>342004928
you can try writing to them and rallying people on uservoice. MS is pretty good at listening. Not that great at delivering, but hey.
>>342004816
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that the new one has Bluetooth. Has anyone confirmed if it works over Bluetooth with Windows 7 yet? Or did they say it's still locked to Windows 10 for some stupid fucking reason?
>>342004660
>good taste in controller
>godawful taste in games
>>342005430
Drivers for W7 are there. There should be no reason for it not to work.
Pads aren't available just yet. They will start shipping when XBONES arrives
Wait for the new Xbone S controllers. They are going to have bluetooth.
>mfw people bought the PC dongle
>>342004660
Are ultrawide panels worthwhile?
>>342005624
I like it. 3440x1440 wins out against 4k to me.

>>342005484
>Neptunia
>awful taste
>>342005484
I actually played Nep live at a Microsoft store the day I got the controller.
>>342005587
IIRC the Win7 drivers only support USB wired connection. They refuse to make Win7 drivers for the dongle, so I'm wondering if the new Bluetooth version will refuse Win7 too.
>>342000692
You use inputmapper?

What about game/application support?
Xbox 360 or Xbone I guess
Dualshock is okay if you REALLY like it
