What are best controllers for PC gaming? What has the best rumble and quality build and good support?
>Xbox and two chinkshit controllers
lol, just stick to DS4 or DualSense like a first worlder
Good morning sir
>DS4
Hello sirs.
Greetings from First world India!
Sirs
series x face buttons are sticky dogshit, you're better off using an old xbox one controller
They're the same buttons moron
none of the modern controllers
why does the one on the right have an asian guy's dong attached to it?
Keyboard
DualShock 4 and maybe some 8bitdo controllers. Steam Controller is good too for what it is.
I use a DualShock 3.
>poorgays will seethe
using a modern controller is a sign of being poor in the first place
worst dpad I've ever had the displeasure of using and the left stick started drifting after a couple of months
Still has faulty L/R triggers because of the design defect.
I use this mopad chitu because my switch controllers keep breaking and drifting. Hall effect joysticks, mechanical buttons and swappable dpad
Feels much better than 8bitdo
Neat, I'm looking to get a new gamepad preemptively before my pro controller breaks and this looks perfect. I've also used to have an 8bitdo pro 2 and it fell apart faster than a set of joycons, they're so overrated. The dpad was pretty good tho honestly.
Is the Dualsense good? Looking to replace my Dualshock 4.
Yes.
I use a DualShock 3, am I poor?
the dualshock 3 is just a PlayStation 2 controller but wireless
so doesnt count
however anything newer is
I'm dirt poor, but I do use a DualShock 3.
Not in my opinion. Dpad is a big downgrade and the whole thing is too big to comfortably allow alternate grips.
>Xbox Elite 2
Piece of shit overpriced controller, has that terrible rubber plastic finish that started to peel after 8 months of use, the nubs on the back that change the actuation on the triggers snapped off, and the peg on the replaceable joystick wore down so the sticks keep falling off. Fricking garbage and not worth your money.
Were you throwing your controller around or something?
I've had mine for almost 2 years, and it's still in near perfect condition. I'm starting to think you abused your controller. The Elite 2 is hands down the best controller ever made.
Victrix BFG : Bad support, break easily, disconnect issue. There is like several Pros at EVO who got a problem with it. Also they don't sell modules alone, so if you break it, you're fricked.
8bitdo : It has Turbo, Gyro and Macros, Support is good and its app has a lot of options. HOWEVER, this controller has straigth handles which in the long term will hurt you. Therefore, Ergonomics-wise it's a bad controller. Just buy a Switch Pro controller, it's better and feels way more comfy in hands.
Xbox : Shit uses AA battery that you need to replace or whatever. The controller is nice but then again might as well buy a Switch Pro controller.
DS4 is the best controller if you focus on the D-Pad.
If you focus on Joystick, go for Switch Pro controller.
If you don't care and just want vibrations and feel some premium features, go for the dualsense but remember that its d-pad is bad.
Switch pro will drift eventually. L3 kills the sticks.
The Switch Pro is almost perfect but the d-pad sucks. I liked the D-Pad on the Wii U controller way better.
>Shit uses AA battery that you need to replace or whatever.
Bro? Your Eneloops? There is nothing inherently bad about using AA batteries..
>No DS4v2 or switch pro controller
Lol, what a moron.
Xbox Elite 2 would be the best controller if not for the microswitches in lb/rb failing within a year. Everything else about it is just perfect.
I tried a lot and the Gamesir pads are the best by a mile
Good morning, Gamesir!
Does it have a good dpad too? Im used to the dualshock dpad configuration.
I have the hall effect version. They're not that great but they do have the same behavior of playstation dpads where you can't press all four directions at once.
The one with hall sensors
The correct answer is and always will be the Wii U Pro Controller.
Still using a 360 controller, best there is for PC.
>best there is for PC.
>360
If you like shit software that doesn't work and no back buttons. Pick up your dunce hat, anon.
>literally an Xbox Elite Controller but much cheaper, with a better D-Pad and with symmetrical analogue sticks (better for 2D games)
This is much better.
>wired
just wait for the next xbox controller to come out
Just a general purpose xbox one controller. I'd eventually like to get one with paddles.
>What are best controllers for PC gaming?
for me its
>general purpose
xbox or ds4
>driving not too seriously
dual sense i like the trigger shape and feel
>game that's don't need analog input
switch pro
>i press buttons to hard when playing platformers and don't care if it breaks
8bitdo or gamesir
>game that's don't need analog input
>switch pro
Pick one. The Switch Pro controller has a shittier D-Pad than Xbox, which is a weird feat.
I liked my 8bitdo pro 2 a lot but ever since I got a modern Xbox controller I've just been using that for everything. I used to always hate Xbox controllers until now
>Want something that just werks?
XSX
>Want gyro
Dualsense
>Want to be a nintendoboo
Switch pro
It's literally that simple
whatever controller best fits the emulator you are doing.
>not using an emulator
you won't beat kb+mouse.
8bitdo ultimate usb seems to be the best cheap all around controller.
retro games (like nes / gba) are best played on keyboard (8bitdo's dpad isn't that crazy good, most dpads have some sort of problem, I think the DSI has the best dpad, but people say it's diagonals are bad).
>retro games (like nes / gba) are best played on keyboard
Hell no
depends on the dpad, and the game.
for games that you sit back on, like pokemon, you may prefer it over a keyboard if your controller is more comfortable to hold.
but personally i like the keyboard because I can easily move left and right on platformers without accidental up or down inputs.
But I consider this to be a lame excuse to buy a controller, but if they think it will increase enjoyment, I think it's more about enjoying a controller as a toy than actually enjoying the game.
Maybe there might be some console ports where a controller is really the best choice because keyboard support is ass, but that's an edge case.
The problem is that there really isn't any perfect dpad controller that comes with analogs, maybe if you spent a large amount of money on a quality nes/snes style dpad, then maybe it's a good choice, but I think controllers are only for emulation, since consoles need analogs.
xbox controller, it works for every game without 3rd party software
the chink hall effect controllers are 50/50 may work or may be broken and it doesn't feel good because of how loose it is, if they make the thumbstick stiffer they would have beat every controller on the market.
I use one of these specifically for games like Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, etc. Modern "old school" games are great with this thing.
>People say 8bitdo dpads are good
>They're actually shit
so what dpad is good?
NTA. I like my hori pokken controller dpad and sega saturn dpad.
Just use a fricking Xbox controller, theyre $50 tops at this point
too expensive for garbage parts
>batteries bad
moron
Why pay that much for a basic as frick controller with a shit dpad and no gyro?
The only upside to the controller is that it's plug and play with no driver bullshit.
it's not plug and play unless you are using garbage software that does not work half the time and is literal spyware
Logitech F310 is the only remote that has lasted some abuse by me. New xbox remotes break within a year, wireless adapter will break in another. PS remotes just break in general.
>bought this for 40 last month
So far so good though I havent really played anything but gungrave on it.
I still wouldnt trust chink QC/QA honestly.
the biggest problem with this is the battery and there's no HD rumble
so switch games aren't the greatest to play with it despite it being a switch controller
kinda asinine ain't it?
The only controllers not made by the big 3 (Sony/MS/Nintendo) worth using are all made by Hori.
still going strong on the year of our lord the 18th of october 2023
Hyperkin released a new one with USB-C https://hyperkinstore.com/xenon-controllers
Soulless start and select buttons aside, looks nice. You try it?
But what's the best controller more emulation on mobile devices though? The Xboner is too big to carry around.
Probably some 8bitdo shit. They've got a bunch with wide compatibility.
>Suddenly all my controllers have drift
i don't have any use for the audio garbage but it does the job
Anything else than a 360/one controller is a moronic choice
>playing any old games at all but gamecube/dreamcast/n64
nope
ENTER
i bit the bullet and bought a ps5 edge, the drift hit hard on my regular one and i like the controller.
