So I'm usually a fa/tg/uy, but I was curious on /vr/s opinion of picture related for emulation
>NES styled
>PlayStation layout
>SNES shape
Its like they are trying to piss people off
>horrible analog stick placement
>uncomfortable shape
looks painful as fuck. Just get a SNES USB controller or an F310
>>3228441
>emulating
Looks like a classic controller with better sticks. Might not be so bad.
>>3228441
Welcome to /vr/, fa/tg/uy. Apologies for the riff-raff.
It looks fully set on buttons unless you need PS support, in which case I dunno if it has clickable sticks and 4 shoulder buttons. Personally I don't care much for the SNES body shape if it doesn't have the little 'dogbone' parts on the sides. I find it hard to grip. The wii classic pad had the same problem.
How do you plan to use this pad OP?
That will help us to figure out if it will work well for you.
>>3228451
Well.....
>>3228510
It has both clickable sticks and 4 shoulder buttons (side by side, not layered front and back)
I plan on using it bluetooth with my laptop for emulating up to n64/ps1 level and the occasional steam game (nothing crazy complicated)
>>3228441
ugly and gay
the solution to a problem no one fucking asked to be solved (how do we make a really gay ugly dual stick nes controller for computer?!)

>Too angry.
The side by side trigger buttons are probably gonna be tricky to hit the right one. As other anon said it looks very wii classic controller, which did suffer from slightly odd hand placement as you held it. I never found that controller to be that comfy.
As for up to ps1/n64... should be ok? Personally I'd choose something else like a ps shaped one or something
>>3228441
Best controller
>>3228537
My main criteria is compactness. I don't want the grips of a ps controller pushing a bulge in my bag
>>3228441
It's very awkward to use. Cheaply made. And expensive. Perfect for hipsters.
>>3228531

>>3228441
This is 4chan so you're going to get shit talkers about everything. Retrobit/8bitdo stuff looks good but is on the cheaply made side of things, not as bad as the straight up chingchong stuff but not as good as SteelSeries, Impulse or other brands like that. More like a Pelican or Madcatz tier.
If you want a wireless controller for emulation that's good and is around $20 go with a Sony PS3 controller. Most of that other stuff is just smaller so you can carry it around with you.
If you're okay with wired controllers, use an authentic retro controller with an adapter like a Saturn, NeoGeo or SNES gamepad.
>>3228441
awful awful awful awful awful choice. Why would u want to emulate anyways? Just play on original hardware...the way it is all meant to play anyways.
>>3228441
I've got one, using it at the moment. It's great. Build quality is decent though select/start sometimes stick and the right d-pad button sometimes acts up. But better than any other usb gamepad I've come across. Bluetooth makes it so much easier.
>>3228524
Looks like it should be okay. My only hesitation is that N64 is a complex thing to emulate since not only are there no really good n64 emulators, there's no really good controllers for properly playing 64 games beyond the original pad. The real headache is finding a pad that has 6 face buttons, 3 digital shoulder buttons, and no mirrored inputs between them all. I have a controller with 6 face buttons and 4 shoulders, but two of them are analog and the other two aren't unique (it's a 360 pad, the bumpers are copied to the 2 extra face buttons).
You can hazard your way through with a standard pad. Just know that it's gonna take some leg work.
As long as you are fine with the shape and the pad works welll, I don't see anything wrong with the OP controller. I've never used that one before, but based off what I see here and what you want to do with it, it should do well enough.
And also as a general question, if anybody knows a good N64 emulation pad (wired or wireless) i'd love to hear it. Beyond an adapter for the real pads I mean.
>>3228746
Why not use the left stick as The usual stick, and the right stick as C buttons? That's what I've done before
Honestly I'd just get an xbone controller.
A lot more comfortable to hold, excellent D-Pad and is more or less the standard now for controllers on new PC games.
>>3228902
Unless you mean OG xbox you're crazy because xbox controller sucks taint
What would some anonymous opinion matter? Is this some psyops? About making chan culture into talking about transexuals being women, cucks, and talking about our feelings?
>>3229170
Because we are superior to name normals that why.
>>3228974
The Xbox One controller has a great d-pad, they totally fixed it. 360 and OG had awful controller for retro games.
>>3228441
I recommend just using a logitech usb controller. They generally make quality products. Utility > style
>>3229207
But muh hipster nostalgia aesthetic
>>3228441
I played around with one at Wondercon a couple months back. The tracking and response was good, but it feels like cheap Chinese shit (which it is). The tops on the sticks are also pretty small. If you can get it cheap, it will work as an all-around emulator controller as long as you're not super autistic about little imperfections.
It looks pretty good and doesn't feel like a cheap Chinese crap, but sadly, the D-Pad is a broken shit.
>>3229692
>>3229696
Cool pic, although I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at or what is being conveyed. Those little swirly contacts on the Sega PCB are dope. Reminds me a bit of my metal DDR pad when you remove an arrow.
>>3229706
On 8bitdo's controllers it's way too easy to activate diagonal by accident just by pressing a direction, you just have to slightly move your finger off center. On the original Nintendo's controllers, by the looks of their contacts, it's nearly impossible to activate diagonal without actually pressing both directions simultaneously.
>>3228882
doesn't always work, there are games like mortal kombat, the AKI wrestling games, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Goldeneye/Perfect Dark that use them as regular action buttons, and at least for me that is very awkward and uncomfortable to do with a stick.
>>3229179
I wouldn't go as far as to say 'great', more like 'passable' after several horrid attempts.
>>3229696
Are we whipping our dicks out?
>>3229843
now that shit there is a controller
>>3228441
It's not bad but there's fad better for the money. I'd suggest one of the Moga Power controllers. They're much more comfortable and compact, have a better dpad, better battery life, built in phone grip and charge your phone while you use them. They're also far more supported than the 8bitdo controllers. This is coming from someone who has both
Realtalk:
I want to use one of these to play emu while I'm at work at my desk, on my laptop. So compactness and wireless is key. If these are so bad, is there a better compact (toss in a drawer if my boss comes by) wireless controller that could handle ps1 level emulation?
>>3230006
Drawers are pretty big so PS3 would be On the other hand, Impulse and SteelSeries Free are so small you could easily palm them or hide then up your sleeve..
>>3228441
My opinion: get a DualShock if you're used to modern gaming controllers, get a Buffalo SNES USB controller if you want something more authentic (or better yet, an actual controller for the console you're emulating with its respective USB adapter). That controller looks like some sort of midway compromise that will end up giving neither of the benefits a modern or a classic controller would. NES styling is pretty much an instant turn-off for me because it screams "we're trying to make a quick buck off of your childhood memories", but of course there are some exceptions.
>>3230013
Steelseries is too fucking big
>>3228569
>not 6 button
GTFO
>>3228569
That d pad is garbage
Is the Retrolink Saturn controller any good? It has some decent ratings on Amazon, but it's only about $10 after shipping.
>>3230580
Buy a Saturn to USB adapter with the money instead
>>3230616
I don't have a Saturn pad to begin with.
>>3230623
Then why do you want an imitation one?
>>3230293
Except it's not, it actually has a great pivot point and is just as excellent at hitting diagonals as the straights
>>3228719
Says who?
>>3228441
why not just use a DS3
it has bluetooth which doesn't need a jewdapter like the 360, so you can hook it up to whatever
having somewhere to rest your palms is the best damn thing ever, obviously from that pic I can tell you don't care about authentic shapes, so why not be comfortable
the only reason not to is the dpad
>>3230652
>ds3
> easy to hide at work
get a sega saturn controller and a usb adapter, desu
>>3230879
Sega controllers suck
>>3230580
I had one and it was pretty decent, while it lasted. Not as amazing as a real Saturn controller but easily 100x better than any of the shitty £2 SNES controllers I'd bought.
The only issue was the dpad was flimsy as fuck and broke after about 9 months. Just a thin plastic cross across the contacts, massive design flaw.
Didn't stop me buying another to replace it the next day, however.
Buy a Wii, homebrew it, connect GameCube controller and emulate all the retro consoles.
>>3231826
No. U suck. You suck poopy peepees.
>>3229748
I doubt this has anything to do with the contacts and more so the stiffness of the domes and shape of the D-pad.
If you don't need an analog stick the iBuffalo SNES is great.
>>3228531
I have a nes.
>>3233640
Too bad I said multiple times I need sticks
>I need X
>Hey if you don't need X, try Y!
>>3228441
I have no experience with that controller, but sticks placed like that without a grip has always hurt my hands, but then my hands are XBOX HUEG. Bumpers look like the kind that wear out after a lot of use, too, but that's bias from other, shoddy controllers I've used.
I personally recommend just getting an adapter for whatever controllers you might already own, or if you do not already own a controller I like my DS3.
Also, welcome to /vr/ where we have become pic related.
>>3230006
The tiniest 8bitDO (image was already posted in this thread) is best if you're just playing RPGs.
You can literally just palm it

This dumbass comic infamously had a pregnancy storyline that I thought ended with a cringeworthy-tier dramatic miscarriage strip called "loss" that is held up as the single worst example of awful pretentious self-absorbed modern webcomics but I'm guessing that it went on even beyond that to the protagonist dude dealing with his grief and this comic represents him putting away the tiny controller he bought for his baby HAHAHAHA SO FUNNY
As a gamer who did have a baby about this time I can tell everyone that wee little babies like arcade sticks and clicky buttoned controllers like Colecovision much better than modern dual analogs and by the time their brains are developed enough to really game their hands are big enough to use regular controllers.
The experience of having a newborn would be tough to make into game-related comedy though. It'd be like Baby Blues.

Another fa/tg/uy reporting in. It's a seriously comfy board with pretty minimal shitposting. It's very good if you're into table top games.
>>3228449
You must've spent insane hours on a SNES it seems. This SHAPE looks NOTHING like the SNES controller. It has the optics, not the shape.
>>3240146
I'm a real person who has tried using one multiple times
>>3228569
I wish someone would make these again in good quality, 3 or 6 button layout is fine, just gimme my classic controller back :(
>>3228746
I just used a 360 control and put the c arrows on a stick.
Call me a pleb, but it works.
>>3228531

>>3240517
Not in games that use the C Buttons as actual buttons.
I mean, in both Castlevanias wich allows to combo the waek and stron attack is uncomfortable as fuck unless you map the C-button to... well, to a button.
I use a wii u pro controller as my main emulation controller. Though the PS3/PS4 controller is probably better if only for the pressure triggers.
