It's overengineered, bulky trash. Meanwhile, the PS4 controller is perfect for the PC.
Yeah
If only it had a good dpad
it has one of the best d-pads, many pro players use it
you just suck anon
I "suck" at using a dpad?
It's mushy with no feedback at all, and rolling my thumb between directions starts to hurt after a while.
It's passable for menu navigation and shortcuts, but frick using it for platformers or fighting games.
it's objectively one of the best d-pads there is for fgs and platformers, and I'm 100% sure you are terrible at them
>shitty mushy membrane d-pad soft enough that diagonals are so easy to press you might not even realize you're doing so is actually really good for games that need precise d-pad input
i know you're baiting and i'm a fool for biting, but come the frick on dude
i use a dogshit 17 dollar wired version of the meme submarine logitech controller and its d-pad still blows a measure of shit, but at least i can tell i'm pressing just down instead of down and left
i've got three ps4 controllers and all of them have terrible d-pads with less feedback and motion than a controller so cheap the triggers fire randomly 6 months after purchase
frick you
you can't tell which direction you are pressing because you are a moronic fricking Black person, just watch EVO one day of your pathetic life to see how many players use the DS4 and get to top 8 with it, because mushy d-pads are actually ideal
but you are worthless loudmouth dunning-kruger effect losers that blame the controller otherwise you would have to face it how much of a piece of shit at everything you are
Im not even complaining how good the d pad is dunning krueger objectively Black person homosexual. Its simply not satisfying to use.
It's because the dpad is segmented instead of being a single piece, like most other dpads
Moving my thumb across the gaps while trying to quickly change inputs starts to hurt after a while
I can admit that I'm bad at fighting games, but I'm good at platformers, and this problem doesn't happen on any other controller
Also,
is completely right
The dpad is mushy so it's wildly imprecise
unless they changed the design at some point and my controllers or outdated, or you have some kind of mutant controller, the DS4 uses a hat switch d-pad like most other controllers where all four directions are one button that rocks around
you can tell for sure if the side opposite the one you're pressing lifts upwards or if you can twist the entire d-pad around
the real critical problem is the rubber membrane beneath the d-pad is squishy as shit and offers very little travel, so you don't get much of a click when you press a direction and you don't get much movement either
it's especially bad on diagonals
i know there's parts out there to replace the hat switch with individual buttons (dremel tool), or replace the membrane with mechanical switches, but i can't be fricked to put up with that for the sake of a controller that also uses micro USB
if evo gays like mushy d-pads for reasons of less travel before pressing the button or god knows what, then i have even more reason to not care for them
i prefer to have pronounced feedback from the controller when i push buttons instead of fricking nothing
continue to fellate your lifeless membrane dpad all you like but it won't change the fact it feels like complete shit to use regardless of any asinine micro-advantage obsessive morons try to derive from it at the highest and most autistic competitive level
Its a shit d pad doesnt matter how many times you say the word objectively like a fricking homosexual
>rolling my thumb between directions starts to hurt after a while.
what kind of frail feeble wimp are you to get hurt by a fricking d pad ? you're the problem not the controller, man up homosexual.
>many troony streamers use it
wowee anon you convinced me
It does, moron.
it has a great dpad
well i havent tried the steam controller, but the DS4 is by far the best controller out of "the big three" for PC games, that touchpad and gyro are a invaluable when used alongside steam input
shit i must made a config to play FTL with that thing, outrageous
that being said, if volvo ever manufactures a Steam Controller 2 with all the inputs of the Steam Deck, it would surpass the DS4
The touch pad on steam controller is pretty good with its haptics and then the gyro. It basically trying to emulate a track ball. I think it works pretty decent for k&m games. Doesn't feel quite as refined as the first party controllers though.
I thought the d-pad was fine on the ps4. The PS5's d-pad on the other hand is hot garbage.
PS4 controller's only major flaw is USB micro-b... but it's a frickin' big flaw.
too small. designed for baby hands
the best pc controller is the Dualsense.
I had this, and the flimsy ass triggers broke within 3 months.
only touched sony controllers my whole life, I actually wonder what the competition feels like. Ps4 controller has quite the good grip but still feels like triggers are way too resistant and almost useless for fighting games, sticks also sore my thumbs after labbing combos for hours. For everything else like beat them all and so on it is perfectly fine.
moronic touchpad that is more like an oversized pause button
PS2 was the best
PS3 is PS2 but wireless in what way is the former better?
Dual Sense. PS4 was a little tiny and not as good. I have fairly thin small hands as well but even for me. I wish I could say the Dual Sense version with back buttons but I'm not spending 200 dollars to try a fricking controller.
I don't know what hands this controller is designed for but it's certainly not mine. It's the first controller I've ever used that actually hurts my hands using it for long periods of time and I've played games since the SNES.
mine I guess
it's the most ergonomic controller I've ever held
xbone wins easily
You have to play with a wire or use a shitty bluetooth connection.
PS controller is too small for adult hands.
Otherwise they are fine
you mean fat Black person goblin amerimutt hands right
Im Finnish, so no.
Nice projection, tho.
It's a great controller that I only use because it's wireless and has symmetrical sticks. If I could use my DS2 wirelessly with 0 issues I would use that instead.
>crap battery
>still made primarily for handlets
>horrible light on the top of the controller
>shitty cheap plastic shell, getting worse and worse with each revision
>nearly surface-flush Start/Share buttons
It's shit. Dualsense fixes most of this (battery still sucks), with the flipside of having worse face buttons and a much worse D-pad. The bitter pill to swallow is that all the major controllers suck nowadays.
You can really tell which anons in this thread play games that actually need the D-Pad vs the anons that rarely ever touch it. The DS4 D-Pad is great. It's not "the best ever" D-Pad, but it beats the Xbox ones hands down.
>It's not "the best ever" D-Pad, but it beats the Xbox ones hands down.
ding ding ding, correct. I'm sick of the dickriding that the Xbone and Series D-pads get. They miss the point of a good clicky D-pad entirely; Xbox's feel grindy rather than snappy.
>move character to the right while turning camera to the left
>thumbs clash
its shit
I grew up with the among best d-pads (Sega) and Playstation d-pads are okay, fairly good even. I prefer Sega 3 button, Saturn, and SNES, but Dual Sense is decent and PS4 isn't bad. I like circular over the separated but can't deny it works. Can't comment on Xbox as its uneven with the offset dpad to buttons makes my inner retro gamer vomit. Nintendo's last good dpad was on the SNES so don't bother, I have every damn one of theirs and mid at best (WiiU Pro was almost such a good controller tho, unholy long battery, just needed better buttons and analogue.)

>*USB disconnect noise*
not anymore
why aren't you connecting it via bluetooth?
>bluetooth
Dumb fricking ape.
my pc is next to my tv which is like 3 metres from where i'm sitting on the couch, i'm not going to run a cable to it
Dumb fricking couch ape
ah yes the gaming equivalent of audiophiles
good thing battery life and input latency are singular measurable variables and not a waveform spectrum
ape
>I can FEEL the latency
0.50€ on aliexpress
>You are expected to dismantle and fix a brand new mediocre controller you've bought just to have one work longer than the warranty.
I would rather just buy a fricking mad katz for $10 and replace it every half a year, at least its cheaper than replacing PS4 controllers every 2-3 months.
>4 hour battery life
>sloppy face buttons
>permanent light drains battery and is an eye sore
>cheap plastic shell that loses texture/finish from skin contact
have a nice day you tech-illiterate zoomer-troony. Dont ever use words like "over-engineered" ever again.
>Steam controller is the best controller for PC ga-
Now if only those PC games had proper face mappings. tired of dealing with XYAB shit
every time i boot up yakuza 0 its a 50/50 chance that i'll get the XYAB layout or the playstation one
there is no setting for it and i have no idea how it decides which one its going to give me
You have both controller config types checked in controller global, or somehow did that in game specific settings in steam.
It's insane that this shit STILL needs to be a mod for major releases in 2023, especially when certain companies DO have the option in major releases from earlier in the same fricking year.
I like my steam controller but I do not understand why they refused to put a dpad on it.
Remember, even just getting an analog stick on there was a fight. They originally wanted the Steam Controller to be much more of simply a "PC controls in a gamepad-ish formfactor" solution rather than a hybrid like the final product.
the compromise ruined it
thumbsticks are cancer
you only like the idea of the old Steam Controller design because it's different from the retail version, and liking the retail product isn't "interesting" enough for you.
Wish they'd start selling it again. They could even do it alongside the Decks.
wrong it is perfectly engineered for pc giving a better control than a normal game pad
The 360 controller is still the goat controller. Xbox One/Series controller close 2nd.
>like to play in dark cuz muh immersion and better TV image
>Every modern controller has bright homosexual light shining at face or the screen
Is it too fricking much to ask for no led or a single dim one?
The lights are no where near that bright you little fricking pussy. What, do you hold the controller an inch from your face?
its bright enough that i can see the reflection of the led in my tv
you can control the brightness and even turn it off in DS4Windows
>no grip triggers I can program in steam input
>can't click down with my thumb with radial menus like I can on Steam Controller
I would only agree with your assessment if these things were on the controller, cause the Dual Shock 4 is certainly the next best thing to a steam controller.
The pipe dream for me is a Steam Deck Controller with all the same controls as an 'eck but the haptic motors/triggers of a DualSense for PS5. I would pay far more than what is reasonable to pay for a controller if that existed.
Some motherfrickers are always trying to iceskate uphill.
buttons too loud
>face buttons can double or skip inputs because Microsoft is ignorant of decades-solved button contact design and thinks that remote-control design will fly for gaming (yes the Xbox Wireless Controller's button contacts are designed the same as those of the Xbone controllers)
>control sticks have horrible inconsistent circularity between units
Great controller, homosexual.
What was the point of the fricking light bar?
Like at least on PC I can set it to whatever or even turn it off but apparently Sony decided my room needed to be illuminated at all times.
Some stupid ps move tracking BS. Just do what I did last week and scribble over it with black sharpie.
What's the best controller for using gyro? I want to play FPS on controller but use gyro for better aiming.
best pc controller is x360/xb1
or this
>ANALogue sticks
no thanks, queer
Mine started drifting so I switched back to M+KB.
remove waggle
remove touchpad
cable only
