Just got this yesterday from Amazon, it is quite possibly the most comfortable controller I have ever held.

Everything about it is tight and responsive, including the d-pad. It has a DS3 style R2/L2, which I prefer. You can turn off the lights on the buttons.

If you need a new gamepad its definitely worth picking up while its on sale.

Played through the entirety of Dark Souls 3, and halfway through new game plus on a single charge.

The buttons are weird though. 'A' on the pro controller is the same as 'A' on a x360 controller and so on, so the positions are different than normal.

The Wii U Pro is only analog triggers and having back buttons away from being perfect and needing nothing more ever added to it.

I play a lot of fighting games, and I've found that I think I prefer the Xbox layout to the PS format...

And this coming from a person who has always thought the PS controller was the pinnacle of controllers.

The problem with the pad placement for PS controllers is that as you 236 or 623 for special moves, your thumb will nudge the analogue stick and cause a misinput. With nothing below the Xbox dpad, you don't have that problem.

There's a lot of 236 and similar inputs in fighting games.

So it isn't just changing an angle your thumb points sometimes.

the d-pad seems a lot better than the 360 version anyway, the main problem I had was the fact that it was literally a circular shaped lump of plastic with a cross imprinted on it. catching onto the weird plastic bits between the "buttons" was the main source of pain.

Why would I use Fkeys or a numpad in gaming? I don't play sims like ARMA or DCS, and those are the only games in the last two decades I've seen need the numpad. I can't think of any games beyond RTS or MOBA titles that use the F keys, and those can be remapped to the number row without losing any functionality.

No need for those keys, I'm not doing math at my gaming computer. That's what this setup is for.

Maybe it wouldn't work for you, but it's perfect for me. Again, literally, 100% size keys. It has every key that I use in any game, anything from Dota to Quake, Civilization to Overwatch (I play fighting games with a stick, so this setup doesn't matter in regards to those titles). The keys are in the same exact place, the same exact size. It just doesn't have the keys I don't need for gaming, which means that the distance between my left and right hand is lessened, which is better for posture and health. I could have gone with one of those shitty Razer Nostromo things, but then I couldn't type at the same computer. I'll never need to run a spreadsheet on this thing, and I have an alternative keyboard for my workstation in the first place.

So, please explain to me how this is retarded or shit in any way that is relevant to how I use my computer.

As for the D-pad, the D-pad is irrelevant in modern gaming and the left pad/analog stick function better.

Cuz action games like Devil May Cry need a setup like the Xbox controller where the Analog Stick and face buttons need to be on the top.
Playing said action games which are meant for gamepads need the interface on the top.
I understand DMC started out on PS2 but at least Ninja Gaiden felt better.
Hell even God of War had a better layout.

The fucking Steam Controller is shit and you will never ever catch me using that bullshit controller.

While this might be common belief, it is in fact not true. By right clicking while inside of your library you can edit the configuration of any game. While in-game (Such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive, a cool game that you should buy) the overlay is replaced by a controller friendly menu.
>>
>>343735293
You remember when this guy

>>343724839

defended it like one comment above this chain right?

>The problem with the pad placement for PS controllers is that as you 236 or 623 for special moves, your thumb will nudge the analogue stick and cause a misinput. With nothing below the Xbox dpad, you don't have that problem.

It's smart controller design. There are a lot of games where there is a lot of tense pressure on the left thumb, if it is contracted, like on a dualshock, you will hit R3 by accident a lot of the time. While on the xbox your left thumb is elongated, it moves fluently with the thumbstick and you have a better ability to control fast inputs for fighting games, and any game that would feature playable characters with fast receptive controls.

>>343735472
I genuinely don't understand what you mean by clicking around a platformer, I thought you meant with a mouse but now I think you mean the clicks of the steam controller

they both sound equally as bad anyway, there's a reason controllers aim to be as silent or dull sounding as possible, and whether it's something I've got used to over the years or not, the tapping and clacking of standard console controllers are actually quite pleasant to hear. with a touchscreen interface in the way, I can't imagine the smoothest sound being emanated every time you press a direction on that flashy piece of gear

how comparable would you say it is to the clicking of a pen? I can only imagine it sounding like tapping R3/L3 every time you want to move and its killing me inside
>>
>>343736603
If you weren't already aware, the Steam Controller is as accurate as Keyboard and Mouse for video games.
>>
>>343736815
Sure whatever, that doesn't help for action games.

So point moot.

>>343736892
You may think so, but being customizable allows any of us gamers to create our own unique configurations just for us! surely we are better with our own configurations, build just by us for us.

Actually, simply turn the left pad to a Joystick-Movement input and the right pad to a button pad! then turn XYAB into look controls and you'll be all set.

It's okay for me to use over the joysticks for playing fighting games and arcade like games. But I can see why you'd hate. But can you tell me what's an example of a good D-Pad? Would it be like the Genesis/Saturn contoller or more like the Nintendo style D-Pads?
