PS4 or XBOX 360 controller for PC?

I'm planning to get one when playing sports and driving games on the PC. Which is better? I've read reviews that the xbox one controller isn't better than the 360 so I'm better of buying the cheaper one.

360 is the greatest controller ever made.
>>
>>54814998
XBOne elite controller, or the 360 is that is too expensive. those triggers are better for driving than the sony ones.
>>
360. Just plugs in and works, and is comfy as fuck compared to that lump of shit designed for little slope boys.
>>
Windows games are made for Xbox controllers.
All of 'em. No matter what Valve tries to tell you, no one uses the Steam Controller for anything special.


Never use a PS3 controller on Windows. If you're not careful you'll get a virus with your drivers.
PS4 isn't so bad in this regard. But the safest bet is an Xbox controller.
>>
Dualshock 3 is hte best controller ever made, the only reason the 360 controler is the way it is, is to be different from the PS contorller.

kek

I have all kinds of novelty input devices.
Trackballs, 3D Connexion, Steam Controller, PS4, Wacom Intuos, ThinkPad TrackPoint, hell I've even used head trackers.

The PS4 touchpad is by far the worst input method I've tried out of anything.
>>
>>54815079
The main problem is that it's far too shakey to be used as a real input for anything other than large, coarse swipes to get the pointer in the general area of where it needs to be.

When you try to actually click shit, the pointer moves as a result of the touchpad's oversensitivity and then you end up dragging or selecting shit instead of clicking on them.

I'm a big fan of the Xbone controller, it has slightly nicer triggers, smoother analogue sticks, and a MUCH better d-pad than the 360 pad. If you play anything that uses the d-pad in any serious way, get that instead.

No.

Also the build quality is far inferior to the 360 controller.

I have a 360 controller and while it just werks, it sucks compared to the PS4 controller. Infinitely more comfortable, way better dpad and bettwe buttons and triggers.

>>54814998
360 has a shit D-pad and the PS4 controller has shit stick durability. I'd say the 360 one simply because it's cheaper.

It really depends on your hands. I find the Xbox One controller to be a lot more comfortable than the 360 controller is.
Go try them out, decide based on which one feels better in your hands.
>>
>>54815113
Did they fix the triggers?
When I tried it two years ago they were total shit
>>
>>54814998
The xbox one controller is way better than the 360's. As long as you pick one up that has the audio jack (with improved bumpers) then you should have the best controller available.
>>
>>54815373
Does the xbox one controller still has problems running on the PC because it is wireless?
>>
>>54814998
I have a 360 + chink wireless receiver.
Works amazing.

I was never a fan of PS* controllers...

I'm thinking of getting one of those Xbox One controllers...

nah, I've used the official and chink receivers, both work great.

had a 360 controller broke it because dark souls
and now i have a ds4

other than the fact that 360 controller has the worst ever d-pad, needs a dongle to work wirelessly,
and doesn't have rechargeable batteries which put it in dualshock 2 age then it is a good controller.

the ds4 is by far the comfiest controller i have used. it has bluetooth and a rechargeable battery.
also with input mapper you can turn it into a great media controller (dunno if you can do that on the 360c)
>>
>>54815401
It doesn't have to be wireless, the USB connection carries both power and data.
Source: I use an official Xbox One controller for my PC with neither batteries nor wireless receiver, just a USB cable.

>rechargeable batteries
>Having to dismount the controller and solder out a battery when it's dead is "good"

No fucking thanks.
>>
I prefer the 360 controller because comfy. I've also heard not great things about the firmware driving the PS controllers (poor deadzones, glitchy reactions ) although thats purely anecdotal, I've not tested them myself. I know that the hardware in them is almost identical (thumbsticks in all of them are made by Alps for example) so no great difference in componant quality despite what fans of either might claim. I have noticed the PS abs plastic tends to be a little more brittle.

Source - i build custom controllers for flight sim games and use salvaged parts from any and all sources, including mashing PS and MS parts together and making them work as a new device.

I got the DS4 because I tend to use emulators a lot on my PC and it has a much better D-pad in a more prominent location. If that doesn't appeal to you, get an Xbone controller. Don't get a 360 controller in 2016 unless your budget isn't high enough for the others. The Xbone's analog sticks and D-pad are better (the D-pad is much better.)

Don't get a chinkshit or knockoff controller unless you know what you're doing. Game controllers are expensive to design and produce. Like the consoles, first party game controllers are sold at a loss and essentially subsidized by the console gaming industry. The manufacturers know that a fair amount of the console's reputation is riding on the controller and they have a lot of money to throw at R&D. Not only are knockoff controllers cheaper, they don't have that incentive, they don't have the same kind of R&D budget and they don't have an entire industry behind them. Even manufacturers who's entire job is to make peripherals for gamers make known shit controllers (Razer.) Some of Logitech's controllers are good, but they're not as good as the X360 at the same price point.
>>
>>54814998
I think more software is pre-configured for xbox controllers.

Are there Windows 10 or Linux drivers for Duke?
>>
The PS4 controller is fucking flawless, the only issue I've had with it is the rubber on the right analog stick is like torn from the circular movements of my thumb, there's a little hole in it and it'll probably get worse. I love the layout of the Playstation controllers and the PS4's grip is probably the best one I've ever used, except maybe for the WiiU Pro Controller (but the WiiU Pro is fucking garbage in all other respects).

The only other problem I've had is unrelated to the PS4 controller itself and more of a general problem I have with ALL controllers, and that is when I generate a static field on myself and forget to discharge on something and walk near the cable, the fucking controller disconnects (shitty cable with poor shielding? I always thought cable shielding was a meme, but I'm actually having problems where the thing is constantly disconnecting when I get out of my chair and step over the cable).

The shitastic rubber is a known issue (though sony claimed they fixed it). It is why you can buy replacement caps for the analog sticks.
>>
>>54815802
DS4Windows will make the DS4 pretend to be a X360 controller. Both controllers have the same inputs, except the position of the D-pad and left analog stick is swapped, so a configuration that works for an X360 controller will work for a DS4.

>>
>>54815919
Huh, I never even knew they made little silicon covers for the sticks. That's actually brilliant, I might have to try that. I don't really want to open the controller up and remove all the circuitry to get at the sticks and replace them. I don't see why they have to build the controller that way in the first place. It should be built in a way that makes it easy to pop the front panel off and replace the sticks.
>>
>>54815487
The 360 controllers were the first standard wireless controllers with rechargeable batteries.
>>54815525
The DS3 didn't have soldered batteries, but one using a small plug.
>>
>>54816229

Sony just cheaped out on the rubber coating this time - the previous dualshock controllers were much more durable.

You should look into the various 3rd party parts for the DS4, there is quite the selection (amazon is probably the best place to start).

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but the d-pads on the 360 controller are garbage, if you plan on using it. The xbone controller has a much better one. PS3/4 d-pad is the best, but I prefer the xbone triggers

Xbone controller is the best thing that ever came out of Microsoft, and the best controller ever made IMO. Ever better than the 360 for everything except the shoulder buttons. And the Xbone Elite is LITERALLY the best controller you can buy, if money is no object.

>>54816288

Normally I would agree with you, but controllers are the one thing MS has really done right (probably by dumb luck, but still).

I don't know if they did, or if it's just because I treat all of my controllers like a delicate flower, but the DS4 I bought in December 2014 still has flawless rubber.

It's got this ugly white discoloring around the edges, though.

I wish we could actually use the hardware for emulators and shit without subscribing to wololo's faggot ass mailing list and entering a key into the exploit EVERY DAY to keep it working. Probably the main reason I regret buying my Vita is that no one is bothering to work on it. The 3DS is cracked wide open but it's really not as nice of a system as the Vita. I got my A9LH on it and everything, but I'd still prefer to use my Vita as my mobile gaming machine if I could. As it stands, the only games I own for it are Tales of Hearts and Ys IV. What a sad system.

Got burned by Sony too many times to give them any more money.

PSP with Memory DUO and that UMD shit was the last straw, it should have used MiniDisc but the only reason they even make these formats is to fuck consumers and force licensing deals.

All Sony did for years was shill DRM infested garbage and try to force everyone to license their shitty tech.

>>54816903
And i mean, original Playstation have huge library of great games, even when compared to PC Engine or Famicom. But Play-fucking-station 2? Original dual analog and dualshock were massive mistakes as well, but the DS2 takes the cake with the horrible, mushy analog buttons. Its unusable controller, just like DS3 (which have identical analog buttons).
>>
>>54816829
PS2 was an amazing system, but most of the best shit came later in its lifetime. I don't give a fuck who made it, as long as the games are good. I ended up getting a PS2 slim from someone as a gift but later sold it and bought a fat on ebay so I could use OpenPS2Loader with the hard drive/network adapter.

Ar Tonelico 1 & 2
Breath of Fire 5
Devil May Cry series (hey, it USED to be good!)
God of War 1 & 2
Dragon Quest 8
Disgaea, plus all of Nippon Ichi's other shit
God Hand
ICO
Shadow of the Colossus
Odin Sphere
Suikoden 3-5 (to be fair I only played 3, I have no idea if the others are any good)
Ys-Ark of Napishtim
Wild Arms remake, Wild Arms 3-5

If we're going to go all the way back to NES, most of the best games weren't even RPGs at all, it was games like Megaman, Kirby's Adventure, Zelda, etc. Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy were fine in their day, but I prefer to play the newer remakes where possible. I didn't really get into DQ until the GBC era remakes, and my first FF game was FF4 on SNES, so I might be a bit biased here. I remember FF3 being amazing on NES though. There was Crystalis, which was fun, but the translation was garbage from what I remember.

Oh, and Tetris. Absolutely fucking Tetris.

The less latency is placebo on a controller, it ain't as exact as a mouse sensor, wireless works great with a controller.

Might not bother you but playing behind a big screen, it gets in the way.

Depends how far you are from your monitor. I recently bought a random chink controller and chose the wired version because I sit as a desk (with a very comfy chair) while gaming. Given that the wired model was 1/3 cheaper as well paying more for a feature i'm extremely unlikely to use seemed unwise.

I've used quite a few controller.

From my own experience, PS4 has a good feel to it. PS3 is a nice fall back.

Xbox360 is the one I've used the most, so it feels more natural to me. Logitech shit is the oldest one I've had since forever, it just werks.

PS4 > Xbox360 > PS3 > Logitech

Haven't gotten used to a Steam controller yet, the spacing change between the buttons takes quite a time to adjust. The buttons are quite tiny and the spacing is small in between. Maybe in month or so, I'll grow to like it, until then.
>>
>>54815114
I agree, but the contour of the controller makes it worth it
Xbox also needs to move their joysticks to where the PS3's are and it would literally be perfect.
>>
>>54819091
I play Rocket League with it, right trigger is pressed almost always, and my fingers are fine (luckily).
Maybe it is possible to make springs shorter.
>>
>>54819158
I would have messed with mine, but the right thumbstick is bad (lefr/right axis thinks center is ~30% right even after calibration) so i got a wireless 360 one for $30 off ebay, I prefer the xbox layout to the ps one anyways,

Just get a 360 controller then.

I prefer the DS4 because of its layout and dpad (mostly for playing old/2D games), but the 360 controller is more comfortable for playing games that primarily use the analog sticks, it's cheaper, and you probably won't ever notice how shitty the dpad is if you're just playing sports and driving games.
>>

I use the steam controller gyroscope for this and it's surprisingly accurate and kinda fun this way.

easy to rebind things in steam games but it doesn't feel as nice overall

it's not that i couldn't reach it, i just think the "main" stick/buttons shall be at one line. like the ergonomy and the design of the xbox360 pad more than the ps4 one (and yes, i played with both of them and no, the ps4 pad is NOT a bad gamepad, but i prefer the Xbox360 one)

but the best is XBone Controller

I played on Xbox 360 for 8 years and then Xbox One for 2 years trust me the Xbone controller is so much better than the 360 one. It is far more comfortable to use for long periods of time and the triggers and dpad are a massive improvement over their previous-gen counterparts.
>>
Xbox One controller still takes AAs? That's great since low self discharge NiMH exists.
>>
>>54814998
The xbox 360 wired controller is god tier for pc. Avoid the xbox one controller the dpads are defective (I owned one and getting it replaced is literally impossible).

The PS4 controller is very good on pc, it's slightly better than the 360 because the DPAD is much better. If you aren't going to be using the DPAD get a 360 controller though because it's cheaper and you won't have to worry about drivers like you would with the ps4 controller.
>>
>>54814998
I bought a PS4 but I mostly just use the controller on PC. Before that I used a Wii U Pro controller which is great too. before that that I used a 360 pad. I like the PS4/Wii U pro better.
>>
>>54815570
The PS4 drivers are really clean especially if you use a pre-made driver configuration like this: tinyurl com/o2f593b

I used that for over a year and had no issues with the ps4 controller. It really comes down to preference. The xbox 360 controller is really damn good and is virtually unmatched except for the poor quality d-pad. Don't fall for the xbox one meme, the dpads are faulty and you can't get a replacement, Microsoft will have you jumping through hoops until you just give up and never buy one of their shit products again. They may have fixed the issue on newer revisions but I'll never know, I won't buy their shit ever again.
>>
>>54814998
PS4 controller doesn't require any drivers, it's an HID compliant controller with three "stick axes" inputs.

Xbox 360 controller is an Xinput device and requires drivers from Microsoft. Most games are made with Xinput in mind, so it'll be better.

Hope your sticks don't have circle slowdown.

Just go with the plastidip. They make one specifically for gripping, and from what I understand you can remove it pretty easily down the road should you ever want to. Skate grip, even if you sand it down, will eventually rub your hands raw after many hours.

>>
>>54830762
Are you trying to troll?
>>
>>54830762
I own both consoles and the analog triggers on my DS3 worned out just by 100% GTA IV, since you use the analog triggers (L2,R2) to accelerate by the end of it they were useless and would often press by themselves.

Turns out the stupid controller uses a small little spring to give them that mushy feel, I was able to replace the springs by ripping out the spring from an old floppy disk, the little door thing has a spring that is almost the size of the one in the DS3 so it was a perfect replacement.

THe Xbox 360 on the other hand has been super reliable and the triggers haven't been a problem at all, I haven't disassembled mine but apparently Microsoft actually created a mechanism for it instead of just using a spring like Sony did.

You don't even need betterds3 or motionjoy guy, you only have to pair it once and select the xinput version and you can safely even delete or backup the gui client, next time you press the button it will automatically pair and work as a 360 controller.

Using this the DS3 works flawless as if it was connected to a PS3 console, Press the Sony button to turn it on, leave it alone after a while without any input and it will turn off by itself and so does the adapter.

This is the best method of getting the best gaming experience using a DS3 on PC.

You connected the adapter to the PC like a normal usb dongle, connected the DS3 to the adapter using a usb wire and hold the PS button for a few seconds.


Like syncing a brand new DS3 to a PS3 console, except you connected the DS3 to the dongle itself.
