Literally the best controller for PC

>inb4 xbonetards

I actually ordered one of these, not for my PC though (I already have 360, DS3, DS4 and XBO pads) but for my android tv.

360/PS3 controller drivers got fucked up in Marshmallow.

DS3 triggers are pretty awful and it feels kind of cheap.
DS4 is better but it's got shit battery life.
XBO has good battery life but the sticks are wrong and the dpad is still bad.

Hold is subjective, to use it's shit because the stick and dpad are place in the wrong place, easy to install the Op controller is detected as an xbone so it just werks

DS4 is better. If you've got one there is zero reason to still use a DS3.

>DS4 is better but it's got shit battery life.
Seriously? I got mine that first November and it still gets a solid 7-8 hours or so, which is plenty in the context of the PC since a USB plug is right fucking there anyway. More wouldn't be bad, I'd be happy if they dumped the lightbar and added a bit more battery, but I've not once found it constraining either.
>>

it's a good all-rounder but the dpad will forever make it useless for emulation.
If you only play modern games it's a perfect choice though, especially since the new revision will have bluetooth.

>>343304727
>That's shit
Only on a spec sheet. In case you didn't bother to read the OP anon, we're talking about PC usage here. In fact on the PC wireless itself barely matters either because you can just use it with USB instead.

In a living room where you want to keep it by the couch and you're a long ways off from the console/TV sure it'd be more interesting. But in the context of the PC where most stuff is wired anyway 8 hours wireless at a time is plenty good enough. If you want to say Sony is retarded for making its controller better for PC usage then actual console usage, well, you'd have a point so feel free. But that's not this thread.
>>
>>343304538
>the stick and dpad are place in the wrong place
You mean playstation controllers have them in the wrong place. Xbox controllers are the only ones that get it right.

The left analog and face buttons are your primary inputs, so they go in the "primary" position that's easiest to access. D-pad and right analog are secondary, so they go in the secondary positions.

Nintendo also got it right with the Gamecube but have been fucking up since then because of this "muh symmetry" nonsense.
>>
>>343304840
I tried the steam controller in a buds house.

The haptic feedback on the touchpad things feels godlike. Also pressing buttons causes a bit of rumble, and it feels soooo right.

>>
>>343305013
not him but I bought a DS4 for PC and while it's great otherwise the battery life is garbage, far less than 8 hours.
Almost anytime I go to use it, it's out of charge.
You can only get maybe 1 session of Dark Souls/Dragon's Dogma out of it between charges.

It's a shame too because I've wasted so much fucking money on gamepads for my PC, the XBO lasts longer but it's shit for emulators and the DS3 I bought I barely ever used.

It takes 5 minutes to adjust to. Also, what do the face buttons being far from the shoulder buttons have to do with anything? You press them with your thumb.

How? It's very clicky and responsive. Miles better than the Xbox 360 dpad. What issues do you have with it?

>>343305108
My latest "moment" with my SC was Subnautica

It doesn't support controllers. So I clicked a few buttons to turn my touchpad from a stick to WASD keys, and bound the buttons and triggers based on the inputs in the menu.

Then once I was in-game I realized "RT > LMB" was a bad mapping in Subnautica because it uses left and right handedness in a "backward" way (your item is in your right hand, which usually is "fired" with LMB but in Subnautica it uses RMB and your left hand to dig). So I pressed the overlay button, swapped LMB to LT and RMB to RT. Went back in, realized my bumper = scroll wheel bindings were backward (LB was scrolling the tool menu rightward) so I repeated the process.

Fucked with it a little more when I realized my item rotation keys were mapped weirdly.

And I did this all, and it remembers it for that game.... And I think about how much of a 2-hour clusterfucking headache it would have been to get this set up and then auto-loaded to Subnautica with XPadder.

Goddamn, the controller notwithstanding just the ability to use a Steam-centric keybinding system for games with no controller support already makes it better than any other controller for PC.
>>
>>343305108
It's overwhelming at first and might be discouraging for a lot of people but all the settings are just insane.
I mean look at this shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYKfnWtQSaQ

I created myself a profile earlier today to play some roguelike. 8 directional movement keys + run modifiers on the left pad. Right pad is mouse but click modifier spawns a wheel I can choose spells from 1-9 and I bought Ctrl and Shift modifiers on the bumpers so I can effectively cast around 30 spells.
Bound the basic Enter/Escape buttons, inventory on Y and Character sheet on X and managing is fucking easy.

If the game only requires you to only use either the face button or the stick then its alright
>>
>>343305490
>what do the face buttons being far from the shoulder buttons have to do with anything?
You can't claw grip it
>>
>>343305575
it's not very good at all, it's more clacky than clicky.
The XBO dpad is very similar to the 3DS dpad, it's very unsatisfying and feels imprecise in terms of its travel distance and how it bottoms out.
If you're using the dpad for actually controlling games you want something like the DS phat dpad or an SNES dpad or a Dualshock dpad.
It also doesn't help that the dpad isn't in the neutral position, aligned with the face buttons.

XBOX may never have a truly good dpad, simply because it was conceived in a generation where the dpad wasn't used for movement, thereby making the dpad only an item select.

Bind the run button to ZL, maybe? I've never had an issue with just running and then looking, or using the lock on feature. But I'm not very good at souls games.

I think if a game requires claw grip it's more of a sign of the controls being shitty than anything.

By rebinding your controls so that the sprint command isn't on a fucking face button.

God what a fucking retarded binding.

>>343306114
All it needs is something like the steam controller or elite controller on the back where you can costum map buttons and shit. Then it'd be perfect, I really haven't used one but I keep hearing about no click on stick or no analog triggers or something else.
>>
>>343306290
I'm holding one right now. The sticks are clickable and there never seems to be an issue with the click registering. The triggers are not analog so you can't light-shield in melee unless you bind it to a specific button, makes them pretty bad for racing games too.
>>
>>343306189
>I think if a game requires claw grip it's more of a sign of the controls being shitty than anything.
This.

Any button which you would reasonably need to press or hold while also moving the camera should be shoulder-bound.

It's as simple as that.

Nah claw grip is giving you access to more buttons at the same time. You have your index finger covering all the face buttons, your thumb on the stick and your middle finger on the shoulder buttons.

I liked it for shooter and games where I could take advantage of using face buttons while moving the camera, like in dark souls, which you cant do well with a pro controller

you'd be wrong.
you can disable the light and touchpad and it will still have bad battery life.
And it uses the same battery capacity as the DS3.
It's just somehow very inefficient.

At the expense of your ability to press them rapidly or accurately, and also your comfort.

I don't understand why you wouldn't just bind the DS melee buttons to the face like EVERY OTHER ACTION GAME ON THE PLANET, freeing up the shoulders for dodge rolls/sprint/etc.

No reason not to bind dodge to R1, lock-on to R2, light and heavy to square and triangle, use to O, two-hand to R3.

Boom, problem fucking solved, no claw grip.

Agreed but I think the xbox 360 controller is better just because they are cheaper and 3rd party dongles I believe are more readily available.

I'll admit though I have never tried the newer xbone controllers. maybe when all of mine die. (Which might soon, the analog stick is getting out of place.)

Not really, all controllers had their right stick below. The left stick placement barely matters because you dont use the dpad as often. Now, the facebuttons are oretty important. They have always been near the shoulder buttons, people have wrapped around their hands with this principle in mind.

Suddenly nintendo tries to be quirky and unique and puts then both up. It's understandable for the wii u tablet, but not much for the pro controller.

Its as if a popular keyboard brand stopped using qwerty and used something else

name a modern game that you won't want to be touching the stick over the buttons that wouldn't be better with KB+M or a fight pad.

Pretty sure the latency at the USB interface/driver level transforming controller data into game-readable XInput messages is 1000x longer than the relativistic speed it takes electromagnetic waves to travel 2 feet from the controller to the dongle, whether via air or via copper cable.

Come on now. Wireless latency comes from the bandwidth limitations on the wireless signal, you're sending a handful of float values, not a 1080p movie.

>>343308306
DS original dpad, DS2, DS3, DS4 and Wii.
Note that all of these controllers have a lineage dating back before analog sticks, which is why they were designed to be highly usable for movement.
The DS original didn't have anything but it's dpad, and yet it was so well designed that it was actually comfortable for fucking Mario 64.
Then the DS lite ruined it and that chain was broken, but you can see how the dualshock and Wii dpads still retain a similar feel and look to their earliest depictions in the Nintendo and PS1.

Try playing a 2D game with a Wii or Dualshock controller, it will feel right.
Then switch to an xbox controller, it will work but it won't feel satisfying at all.
Like touch screen controls, sure it's "functional" but if you want to actually play the game it's not ideal.
While the XBO dpad is much better than the 360's, it's not worth using for 2D games.

I disagree, but I didn't know you were talking about PC gaming specifically. dont know why you didn't complain about MH not being on PC, i guess there is MHO

so PC Games?
Racing games
Batman? KB+M is better, but still an example of a game where right stick should be the bottom one.
all platformers except possibly for the super-fast parkour ones like cloudbuilt
games with melee combat like dark souls

why am i doing the work for you? You didn even refute anything i said other than "not on PC".

games like gauntlet (top-down with melee weapons)

i literally can't think of a game where i would use the right-stick more than the face buttons outside FPS, Ape Escape, and twin-stick shooters

>>343308961
several Monster Hunter games are emulatable on PC.

Racing games are ideal with a racing wheel and even so you use the shoulders for almost everything so it's a null point.
2D platformers are best with symmetrical, 3D it can vary depending on how much camera control is required, Mario uses very little but some need constant re-adjustment.
Dark Souls I already said is best with symmetrical because you constantly use R3 for lock on (and if you don't use lock on you're just going to be using the camera constantly anyway).
>>
DS4 with DS4 windows is easily the best all around option for pc controllers. Good for retro, good for modern, good for any games with vehicles.

Why don't you just say controllers suck at this point?

If you want to speed up this conversation, why not tell me games where you (actually) use right stick more than face buttons?
I mean, you're already ignoring half my post and refuting to ">using controllers".
Dark Souls is definitely more face buttons than control-stick, if it isn't it's practically 50/50, where i would stick recommend the right-stick being below the face button.
This conversation is weird in generatl since we should be discussing the left stick being on top, every controller should have a below right-stick (although i guess you disagree).

well that's your bluetooth adapter's fault then, not the pad.

Anyway, since you compared it to a 360 d-pad.
Get both controllers, and push any direction, then transition over to another direction. Notice how the 360 pad doesn't give you any clicks while the Logitech one does. That alone makes it 100% better.

I used a PS3 control with SCP on win 7 with no problems, but since upgrading to win10, SCP causes no ends of driver problems. Start up the pc and for some reason my pc starts randomly uninstalling my mouse/keyboard drivers, then the SCP software tries to reinstall them PS controls.

It has a completely different mechanism to the 360 one, less travel and the clicks I just illustrated are the defined directions.

again, being better than the 360 isn't much of a claim to fame.
there is too much travel, the thing tilts too much, clicking when you press a direction is not going to make up for this.

Fuck off DS4 is shit, I had two of them that I never used, then I started playing Rocket League.

Both ended up with the x button being hard to press and the left analog stick being impossible to press, so I found my old ps3 controller which I've had for like 8 years and it works perfectly. I'm guessing the PS4 ones can be fixed by opening them up and doing something but the fact that it even happened means they're of lower quality.
>>
no newer model xbox controller is good
they are all wireless with no rechargeable battery
even the 150 jew edition ones require batteries

ps4 is superior with bluetooth and build in rechargeable battery

It's the most logical placement. Nintendo did the right thing with the Pro controller while remaining special snowflake tier.
