What is the best controller for PC?
360 controller

Xbone. Probably the best controller I've ever used honestly. Clicky Saturn bumpers, Nintendo D-Pad, good feeling sticks.

Sega Saturn gamepad. The only games you need a controller with thumbsticks for are twinstick shooters.
>>319687091
Can you play fighting games on that?
>>319687372
I don't like how unpronounced the bumpers are, which to me makes it feel real cheap.
I use the DS4 as its got Bluetooth support, great PC emulation (DS4Windows) and I've always like the Dual Shock.

>>319687494
Legit one with an adapter or a USB knockoff?
>>319687091
WAIT A MINUTE... THAT HAND...
Xbone or 360. Whichever fits in your hands better other than your dads cock
>>319687091
What the fuck is wrong with it's hands? Thumbs don't look or work like that. Is it missing a thumb on the right hand too? Jesus Christ that sucks.
>>319687091
Wii U controller pro.
It's a 360 controller with better battery.
>>319687731
Adapter. I have not seen a single good USB knockoff.
>>319687239

>>319687452
Wow you're a big guy!
>>319687091
Xbone, DS4, or Wii U Pro
>>319687091

So how is the Steam controller?
Might get one but i'm not su- JESUS CHRIST THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT HAND
>>319687091
Dualshock 4. No fucking contest here. The thing actually works better on pc than it does on the fucking ps4 itself with DS4Windows.
You can use the touchpad as a mouse, you can do whatever the fuck you want with the light, you can even set up macros with whatever key combination you want. You also can set DS4Windows to boot up minimized with windows so you can use your PC pretty much like a console, just hit that PS button and that's it, the thing is instantly paired and you're good to go.
The fact you have to buy a separate expensive giant turd of a dongle to use the bone's controller on microsoft's own OS is fucking laughable in comparison.
Dualshock 4 is the best controller ever made.
>>319687494
>The only games you need a controller with thumbsticks for are twinstick shooters.
Nope. You need dual sticks for most 3d games today. As they have a camera.
wii u pro is the only answer, faggots.
>>319688238
Literally what fucking 3D PC game would you play with a controller?
Emulated games don't count because the best option for those is always the controller for the console they were on, or closest equivalent.
>>319688164
it's too big

Yeah, gonna have to go with the DS4 here.
>not making the light color purple
Still use the 360 controller. I don't feel like upping to Win10 to use the Xbone controller, and Steam controller is too gimmicky.
>>319688378
>that belly

>>319687091

>>319687372
If the bumpers weren't so awkward to push down, I'd agree.
I used 360 controller for 1-2 years. Then it died.
Got myself an older bluetooth PS3 controller. Loving it.
I'd get the ps3 controller if given the choice again.

I like to use a WiiMote. I mostly emulate 3rd/4th gen games and gameboy games.
>>319689024
Alright, fair point.
Still, though the majority of PC games good with controller only need a d-pad and a good number of face buttons.
>>319689019
Pls anonshow us your big fuzzy belly
>>319689024
Not really if you mod it.
DS4 is the best controller I have used, aside from the DS1, of course. If only I could use it with myPlayStation 3

There's a number of console ports that just feel awkward on k+m.
Some of the very few indie platformers I've messed with, like Rogue Legacy, just feel better on a controller.
>>319689273
you can. works for most games. i use it for tekken tag2 all the time.
>>319689246
I'maway from an environment where I could do that
I could leave a throwaway email for when I do
>>319688171
how is the batterylife? - I've heard it's abysmal
>you can do whatever the fuck you want with the light,
I'd probably just want it to be turned off. Like really off, not just dimmed or some shit. Is that an option?
>>319687091
nigga is you an alien?
>>319688626
MS always seems to get something wrong.
It was the shape for OG Xbox, Dpad for 360, and bumpers for bone
>>319688391
Are you retarded? Off the top of my head. The Phantom Pain. Gta games. Assassin creed yearly release. Sonic world. Etc.
>>319689228
Only if you play old or 2d games.
>>319687091
>average steam user
now i know why you guys cant use a controller for FPS
>>319689396
I thought the triggers didn't work in a whole bunch of games, plus vibration doesn't work at all. I think what I'll do is mod a DS3 into a DS4. I'm surprised no one's done it yet or posted about it anywhere.
>>319688391
Racing games, and dark souls.
Really any game that requires precise movements that aren't shooters
>>319689543
you could wake a fucking house with the sound of those clicks
were the controllers tested by deaf people?
>>319689228
souls games, witcher, anything 3rd person.
Xbone elite controller
Just to have the advantages of the xbone's withe a build quality of the 360's
>>319687091
>that fucked up thumb
>that shit tier nail job
The Xbone elite is propbably the best controller ever made, except it's expensive and in short supply.
360 or xbone regular are pretty good though
>>319689620
the pressure sensitive shit doesn't work, yeah. i can't even press start at the title screen of metal gear 2 or 3, but peacewalker works perfectly.
go figure
anyway, ps4 pad is best for pc. 360 dpad is ridiculous. so terrible.
If it weren't for the weird L and R buttons and the slightly awkward placement of the D-Pad, I'd say the xboner controller
>>319689414
I'll just wait till you post it someday.
I bought this to play Mortal Kombat X and Dark Souls 2 sotfs. Dont know what else is worth to play
>>319689981
I wouldn't knock the 360 pad. I've used it before, but it's really fucking bulky, like it designed for Shaq or something. And it might just be me but I expected the left analog stick to be weird as hell, but I got used to it pretty well.
>>319690203
anything 3rd person shit pretty much any multi plat is intended to be played with a controller.
>>319689436
It's trash. Like 6-8 hours at the very best. That is the only downside, forgot to point that out.
And yeah, you can turn it off, you can change the color to whatever you want, you can make it flash when your battery is at a certain threshold or to indicate input lag.
I have mine off but set up to flash at 10% battery.

Behold.
The holy trinity of PC gaming controllers.
>>319691884
I loved the GC controller. the shaped buttons were great with the interfaces they created.
>>319689543
>>319688626
>>319687586
Huh I fucking love the xbone controller. is this a common criticism? I've had no problems
altho thinking about it I haven't used it to play a game that heavily involved bumpers yet
>>319691884
>DS3
Are you fucking kidding?
>>319692061
Great for emulating N64/Gamecube and some Wii games.
>>319692243
Does the trick for emulating most retro games and psp/ps1/ps2 stuff. I'd get a DS2 but is there any way to get those working wirelessly? I like the DS3 cause I can use it wired and wirelessly.
>>319692547
why would I emulate them I owned a GC.
>>319687091
I've only ever used a 360 controller. The stick placement hurts my hands after too much use and the triggers are uncomfortable as shit.
>>319691393
I would go for the ds4 because it's a better version of a traditional controller. That steam controller looks like shit honestly. No matter how many buzzwords they couple the thing with, it's still gonna be a touch controller and those are fucking shit no matter what.

The 360 controller is of awful quality. The buttons are hard and loud, the sticks have no resistance and the bumpers are pure plastic shit. I really thought I got a chinese knock-off controller at first because I couldn't believe an official controller would have this shitty quality. But turns out it was the real thing.
>>319693309
>never held a 360 controller in my life.
>>319693309
The 360 controller is fine except for the d-pad and the sticks fall apart really easily.
I like the pisstree controller a lot more, even if it isn't ergonomic.
>>319693309
Xbone controller is god tier though

RAPTOR HANDS
steam controller is better at aiming than any other controller.
that's it
I legit think the Steam Controller is my favorite. Second best is Xbone
I'd like to try the Elite controller for the paddles, but that shit's too expensive
After using the Steam Controller for so long, I'm completely convinced that grip buttons are the next step for controllers and if the PS5 and Xbox [Stupid Name] don't have them as a standard it'll be a real fucking shame
>>319693876
Xbone controller is far superior to the 360 controller. You prefer membrane to mechanical switches? That's some shit taste.
Has there been any talk of a third-party wireless Xbone adapter for the PC?
>>319694431
I'd be surprised if there aren't chinese clones in a year or two
You'll probably still need Windows 10 for the driver, though

Yes, that is your dog's controller of choice clearly, but what is your's, Anon?
>>319694627
They added Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 support for the wireless adapter today
xbox elite pad is the best by far but the price is retarded
>>319694825
wait what xbone controllers have a dedicated headphone jack!?
>>319694919
>>319694919
I would use the Vita if I could. Nice buttons and dpad.
>>319695012
Yeah, the fixed ones do. They work for PC wired and wirelessly. Pretty neat having wireless PC audio from a controller.
>>319694921
is this a ruse
>>319695135
>They work for PC wired and wirelessly
well that was going to be my next question. fucking awesome
>>319688171
Agreed. DS4 is Amazing.

Logitech F710
>>319695209
Just make sure you plug in your headphone to the controller before you turn it on - that's peoples' biggest mistakes
>>319695396
Why? does it not work if you do it afterwards?
>getting one of these for Christmas
Anyone here have any experience with it?
>>319695473
Nah. For the PC to pick it up as an audio device, it has to be in the controller first.
>>319695284
Glad to see they've stopped completely shunning the PC market.
>>319689228
I use my controller for everything that's not an FPS. It's way more comfortable, even for third person shooters.
>>319695630
Weird. Well whatever, I'll deal if it comes to that.
ps2 saturn controller
>>319695284
Oh shit, maybe they aren't completely braindead after all
>>319688513
If you mean wirelessly, yeah, you're boned there, but the xbone controller works fine plugged in on 7/8

>>319695396
>>319695473
>>319695630
It works for me, but I don't have a wireless adapter so maybe it's only wired
I use a ps4 controller for emulating ps2 games and an Xbone controller for most other things.
I like them both in different ways.
I use a Hori Battle Pad with an USB adapter.
>>319695284
kek
I bet the sale number for that shit was so abysmal low they have to 180 on it.
I mean barely anyone upgrade to Win10
>>319688171
>The fact you have to buy a separate expensive giant turd of a dongle to use the bone's controller on microsoft's own OS is fucking laughable in comparison.
You don't need that at all, it's just if you want to use it wirelessly. Plug in a bone controller with usb and it will work fine.
>>319696509
I'm guessing this is for w10 only?

Can anyone use a ds4 wirelessly and not have it suck complete ass?
I have a ds4 and (of course) ds4windows. I've used two different Bluetooth dongles (same brand) and it doesn't fucking work beyond 7 feet away.
Even when sitting one foot away it cuts in and out. When I put my hand between the controller and the dongle, it disconnects.
Is the ds4 just shit at Bluetooth? Anyone able to wireless a ds4 on the PC from more than 7 feet away?
Pls respond.
>>319697390
Nope, the DS4 sucks ass wirelessly.
I had the same problem, eventually I just traded it in for an Xbox controller

>>319697724
Haha it's funny because I have a 20 ft cable but I can't bring myself to use it.
if you're a good goy and want the best controller; xbone elite.
if you're poor; ds4
I wish that I could say the 360 pad but the d-pad on that thing is just the most awful thing ever. Don't bother trying to play any 2D platformer that has a crouching action, you will just crawl walk on accident constantly.
For everything else though, the 360 pad is great.
Also, the Steam controller is actually starting to grow on me. Now that you can use it outside of Big Picture, I've tried using it for just random stuff like flash games and it does pretty well.
If nothing else, Valve has given us a pretty decent alternative for joy2key. I do hope that games start to integrate some of the macros that you can use with the controller.
Also, if you have played any game on the 3DS where you can go into first person and aim with the gyro, like with OoT3D, using the controller to aim is just like that. Being able to supplement the trackpad with gryo aiming is really nice.
I hope that Valve keeps developing the controller because it seems like it could really be a step forward. The peddle shifters and haptic feedback are cool too. I want to try it with a racing game.
>>319687372
Would the Xbone controller work for games that are compatible with the 360 controller?
I'm guessing 'no'
>>319698035
The Steam Controller is actually the cheapest, for some reason
>>319698439
steam controller is homeless tier
>>319698404
Yes. Any game that works with 360 controllers works with Xbone paddles
>>319698404
Yes, it works with everything except for certain older games that use dinput, and only some of those don't work
But any game that works with 360 works with Xbone
>>319698597
>>319698603
Oh, fantastic. Thanks.
>>319696789

It's not just the d-pad on 360, it's the triggers too. They feel really sloppy compared to DS which is pretty bad considering they're used all the time for shooting for example.
>>319693309
Finally someone who agrees with me. It feels like we're against a world that never used a controller except the xbox 360 one before.
>>319688171
>The fact you have to buy a separate expensive giant turd of a dongle to use the bone's controller on microsoft's own OS is fucking laughable in comparison.
You still gotta buy a bluetooth adapter to connect to your PC.
>>319699141what about all my pirated movies
>>319688449
My finger slips off the L2 and R2 too easily and the "ridge" around the analog sticks totally destroys my thumb after awhile.
>>319691884
Why would you use a ds3 over a ds4? The only reason I could think of is maybe fighting games.

>>319687091
Are these feet or hands?
Is there any third party 360 knockoff controller that's sturdier or functions better? I need a new one, but the fucking control sticks on the 360 controller are made out of twigs and hope. I have about three broken ones that don't reset properly, and the fixes I've tried don't work all that well.
Xbone is really nice, I used to have a 360 remote and was absolute shit. The only thing I don't like is the bumpers on the bone controller, they feel pretty awkward
>>319697390
It was frustrating as hell trying to get bluetooth to work on Win7, but after Iupgraded to Windows 10it works like a dream.
>>319688449
The problem I have with the DS4 is the wireless. My PC has built-in bluetooth and I often times get lag and disconnects. I ended up getting an Xbox One controller and adapter just for my PC, because that way I don't have to bother with any syncronization crap every time I switch systems.

THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HER THUMB
One thing I will say about the Xbox One controller vs. the PS4 controller is that it can get very expensive if you want something beyond just a wired USB game controller. I've dropped a fair chunk of change on mine already, even though I bought it on sale for $40 on Black Friday. If you want wireless, you need the adapter for $35, whereas the Dualshock 4 just uses a compatible bluetooth adapter that you might already have. Then comes the play & charge kit, which is another $25, so now that $45 investment is $100. Then if you get the chatpad (which is one of the best reasons to get an Xbox One controller), a right-angle 3.5mm adapter is going to be mandatory if you ever want to comfortably use your headphones / headset so that's another $8. And of course, if you decide to go full-idort and buy the Elite Edition (which I did not), that's another $100.
I think if you're going to be playing a lot on PC it's probably the best option, but in terms of value you should think carefully unless price is no object. There's a lot of hidden costs compared to some of the other options out there.
