>Be me, use controller ive been using forever with bluetooth
>Update required
>Update it
>Can no longer connect with bluetooth. Find out the Update changed it to some bullshit called BLE.
>Controller only works with consolse now
wtf.....
They've been pushing controller firmware updates since PS3
>BLE
It's a different Bluetooth standard to save battery power, whatever your adapter is most likely doesn't support it.
you need change your BT adapter with 5.2 or later.
no refunds!
my xbox controller was running like pure trash until i saw some reddit post about how you have to update the firmware
now it runs great
thanks reddit
You don't even own controllers these days
>Controller on PC
You get exactly what you deserve for being a retard. There's a perfectly fine keyboard and mouse right in front of you, use them.
Not optimal for some games like the souls games, metal gear, tomb rider and the like.
Played all those on KBM as well as controller, I'd say they're way better on KBM. On a controller you're like a crippled person who can barely multitask.
>the souls games, metal gear, tomb rider and the like.
All three of these work just as good or better in some cases with kbm.
stop falseflagging to make pc players look delusional you dumb consolefag
>metal gear, tomb rider
I really hope you're talking about the older ones. Because MGSV and all the reboot Tomb Raiders are astronomically better on mouse.
Of course he is you fucking moron.
PC only has console games now. Who the fuck plays console games with a mouse and keyboard?
I first bought Metro Exodus on my Xbox One, and when I found out it supported Mouse and Keyboard, it felt like magic. I can barely play shooting games with a controller now; I grew up playing Halo and absolutely shitting on people. Recently, I tried to play MCC on my Xbox and I got raped to death.
>PC only has console games now.
They are made on PCs
They are best played on PCs
Because Pc-only games are the lowest denominator:
a VR tech-demo
MMO
MMO-RTS
RTS
Another psychological horror survival
a Pokemon clone
Why?
Consolefags are limited to a handful of compatible controllers, PC players play with any peripheral they want. Which includes controllers
>consoles: can use a mouse/kb or a controller
>pc: can use a mouse/kb or controller
HOLY SHIT THE DIFFERENCE IS SO VAST!!
cope and seethe /r/pcmasterrace
Post a pic of ps5 controller working on series x?
You can play with multiple kinds of controllers on PC, retarded consolemoron
You can't play Xbox controller on Playstation and vice versa without buying additional utilities
The amount of console games with native KB&M support are slim and most of them are Ubisoft goyslop
Not every game works well with mouse and keyboard you fucking dork
>Emulation with Mouse and Keyboard
I mean, i know how it is because i've actually beaten a couple of games that way but really, one should use controller when available.
>Emulation with Mouse and Keyboard
Correct
I'm not playing X-Wing and tie fighter with a fucking mouse
I only use MKB for FPS and RTS games (I dont play driving games) everything else is better with my DS5.
the DS5 has to be the best controller i've ever owned. i've had it for probably over 2 years and it still doesn't drift
Fucks a ds5?
>brag for yours about being able to use any controller or input method in existence
>UH acktually! kb+m is simply better!
lmao
Nope. I will use a controller specifically for 2D sidescrollers and another one for third person games, kb/m is for accuracy and controller for anything else
>JUST HAVE LESS OPTIONS!
and you call yourself a pc gamer.
Retard.
You are the exact type of gay loser to whine about how a game made for controller doesn't work well with KB+M so now the game is bad. Steam is riddled with cocksuckers like you.
>a game made for controller doesn't work well with KB+M so now the game is bad.
Correct, the game is instant dogshit and will be reviewed as such. Port your games properly or keep them on your shitty console
inferior in every genre except FPS, MMO and RTS
PC fags are subhuman
They hated anon because he told them the truth
retard anime fag
I’ll keep the recliner + game pad thank you very much. You dumb broke college dorm rat.
dudes a chud. there's different times and different games to use controllers, and keyboard and mouse
What he deserved? The controller needed a quick update. It didn't explode in his hands gay.
I've always found being able to use whatever peripherals I want to be one of the more rewarding parts of PC gaming but okay you queermo.
>download Steam
>it supports all of my controllers no set up required
>even supports my ddr dance pad
this shit is magic
a lot of shit can be improved through firmware updates, like input lag. on console they just include them as system firmware updates, instead of specifically updating your controller, but it's harder to do that on PC.
completely optional. have a nice day
Cool, how do I rebind the useless "share" button to do something useful, like taking screenshots?
Even binding it to anything on my keyboard would be enough.
Create a profile on the Steam controller settings thing
I tried, it only sees it as Xbox One controller, which lacks the share button.
but anon, it's right there
why do you have the old big picture
do you not update steam ever?
https://github.com/Adam777Z/xbox-controller-button-remapper
It's what I use cuz I hate using steam for binds.
It works.
Very cool, thanks
>https://github.com/Adam777Z/xbox-controller-button-remapper
How do you use it? Does nothing when I open it, no menu or anything?
Nope, you have to set it up with the txt file.
Scroll to the bottom and you'll find a list of keys and their code.
Drop a shortcut to your startup app folder to make it run by default.
got it, mapped share to my nvidia screenshot and it works
>like taking screenshots?
That's literally what it does.
the xbox game bar explicitly says you can only do it with non-fullscreen games.
I wouldn't know, this shit never worked either way
update required as in the drivers ?
On PC?
It doesn't matter where you update it, anon. You could pair it on an XSX, update it there, and then it wont bother your again on your PC
No, controller firmware
You have to show Microsoft that you bought the controller and not stole it sir
>Implying the user bought and isn't leasing the controller
Very terrible double plus bad
So hit the damn button and get it over with it'll optimize the thing for your PC
>Required
Why? Did the controller stop working?
what makes you think it doesn't happen on consoles?
>xbox acessories app
what in the hell is that? i just plugged mine in and windows said "xbox controller ready" and never looked back
>be me
>scrolling through Ganker
>see post about updating controller on PC
>chuckle to myself, "amateur"
>been updating my controller firmware since I was in diapers
>but seriously, it can improve performance and fix bugs
>why wouldn't you want that, you normie?
>git gud and update your controller like a pro, scrub
thanks chatGPT, very cool
Why don't you just use the objectively better Xbox 360 controller?
>drifts after a few months
>rubber on sticks wears away quickly
>tiny design
no thanks
>very shitty dpad
>sticks easily consumed by simply using it
>worse triggers/bumpers than the series X's or whatever it's called
>feels like cheap plastic compared to its successors (despite the fact they're also made of cheap plastic)
it had a good run and I preferred its bumpers over the One's but there's honestly no reason to buy one now
It makes me feel poor.
they don't make them anymore.
Well then now I feel cool and in-the-know.
these were the best for pc
My Series X controller stopped working while plugged in. Had to start using it wireless, now I can't update it because it requires to be plugged in but it's not recognized when plugged in. Wat do?
Why are you using a controller/gamepad on your PC in the first place?
how about an update that dims the light in the middle depending on how much battery is left?
How about an update to just turn off the fucking light?
After searching for 30 minutes I gave up, seems like there's no way to do it on Pc.
I ended up covering it with tape, it was blinding at night
Fucking Microsoft, forcing me to embrace absolute ghetto solutions
>I ended up covering it with tape, it was blinding at night
same, very annoying
tape + that utility to remap share fixed my two main issues with it
I don't remember what it is but there;s a way to double tap the xbox button to turn off the light which i think works on PC
I don't even have their apps installed on pc it's useless bloatware. The controller is just plug and play.
needed for the keylogger duh
microsoft needs to know if you're making a swastika with your analog sticks
Why the fuck can't you fully shutdown Series X with the guide button? Why do I need to go to Settings like I'm shutting down Windows? Fucking MS
hol up, you actually own a console?
Disable stand-by mode in power settings, that way the console will fully power down once you turn it off
I have my controllers plugged in full time
any way to modify or stop the controller going to sleep on pc?
just use a usb connection
Does anyone know where I can get a bios for this I can flash with an external programmer? I had to do one of these updates to get bluetooth working and it failed, now the controller is bricked. Support says I can recover it by plugging into an xbox but I live 100 miles away from the closest one.
>no gyro
LMAO
Just recently discovered you can pretty much force gyro on any game on PC
It's fucking based
Sucks for you kid. Never had this problem with my SNES. Enjoy your modern gaming experience! HAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHHHHAHHAHAJAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!
>UPDATE
>On
>Why
Why are you doing this to me? You've stopped being subtle and even follow me to random boards. I see what you are trying to do and I just want to be left alone. Why are you being so horrible to me? What have I done to you to deserve this? I can't take this anymore
I'm never going to stop.
This is what you all get for using Microsoft controllers, use playstation controllers on pc so you can never have a required update because Sony would never make such a thing for Microsoft operating systems
Technically, you can update your ps4/5 controllers, but it isn't mandatory.
you ARE using the official adapter right anon? youre not a bluetooth poorfag coping with a shitty connection right?
Don't worry about it :^)
just use a ps3 controller, its better than the xbox ones in every way and doesnt have the useless features and wasted space the new playstation ones.
ps3 controllers are brittle, and suck. 360 wired, or a switch pro is all I can recommend.
how are they brittle? are you throwing them around the room like a retard?
I did buy mine second hand... but even then it's not a hardy controller
i feel i like it being lightweight, and it is the perfect size for my hands, of course, the triggers arent the best, but what can you do
I'd say it's one step up from the n64 controller.
How tiny are your hands.
I played ds3 on a ps3 controller back then and i still remember the pain.
they're just uncomfortable imo. not that anon, in my opinion it's about weight distribution in the hands.
I dont know how big or tiny they are. I love the ps3 controller though
it's too light weight for me. I like the Duel shock the best on ps2, it's heavy, but I think the best controller is the original Xbox 360 wired. plug in play, and excellent quality
it was a time when friends fought over the nest best controller. we all knew what was the best
she have bought a switch pro remote homo
I had to do this for my xbone x controllers so they can connect to my steam deck.
Microsoft makes cheap dollar store faulty shit now.
Yeah what the fuck man? I never had to do this for my 360 controllers
I bought some cheap Microsoft brand bone remotes for my pc when megaman 11 was on steam. broken out of the box, and drifting. I'd rather buy cheap knock offs
never happened to me, using an OG Bone wireless 2.4ghz with some random dongle bought on amazon, lol enjoy your inferior product
I'm gay and my dick is small.
What's the best gaming peripheral for me?
fifa soccer games
>using an xbox controller
back in the day we would fight on ps2. best out of 3 fighting games gets the best controller for halo two
I missed couch tournaments. op should get a switch pro
