TMR modded DualSense.

the GOAT of all time

dualsense with a bunch of ds4windows ricing for extra inputs

>>107097192
Shit, forgot the pic.

>>107097220
what does TMR modded mean?

>>107097281
TMR is tunnel magnetoresistance. Kinda like Hall Effect, but more accurate.

>>107097183 (OP)
Either this or a KK3 max, depending on if it's a 2D focused game or not.

>>107097197
This, but the d-pad is so fucking bad. They overcorrected the diagonals from the early models, so now they're too easy to press by accident. Not to mention the latency.
I managed to get them to send me a Tegenaria (T3Lite) free of charge as "warranty" because I didn't want to just receive another fucked up T3Pro, and that one is a straight up improvement in most ways despite being dirt cheap. Only not a fan of how the middle two buttons feel and the Start placement. Supposedly they're going to release a wireless version later.

Also got a Aolion j20 from the chinks for pennies to use as a glorified remote most of the time. Don't even own a Switch.

They put the hardware config button where that usually is, whereas T3Pro has it on the back.

>>107097371
The controller was 60€, bought last year. The mod was DIY and cost 20€ in parts.

>>107097397
>80 bucks for a dualsense
lmao

>>107097409
Even most good 3rd party controllers are between 60-80 eur the least.

Was using Dualsense, if Sony wasn't jewish I'd still be using it. But they can't help themselves from farming goyim for controllers by not using any non-drifting sticks so now I use a 8bitdo 2c

>>107097371

Only shit deal with them is no trigger stops and the sticks being prone to failure after a few years (fixable as the commenter has shown).

>>107097441
>>best Bluetooth implementation
This too. It's nonstandard but works with most adapters with lower latency then most proprietary or custom solutions.

>>107097441
+1

>>107097441
>and the sticks being prone to failure after a few years (fixable as the commenter has shown).
I did the TMR mod just because I like TMR sticks, they had not even failed yet.

>>107097441
>>best Bluetooth implementation
It's not the lowest latency anymore, if that's what you mean.

>>107097497
what controller uses bluetooth and has lower latency? just curious

>>107097497
It's still very lower latency for Bluetooth.

>>107097511
The new gulikits like the es (pro) or the elves 2 (non pro).

I use a dual sense.

Whatever the xbox one is called now
still seething because I paid $20 more for than I should've during the PLANDEMIC

a hyperkin duke I've had for the last 6 years
everything still feels fresh, it's really nicely made and great for my gorilla hands

>>107097543
Nothing huge though, according to Gamepadia, it's like 3.5ms vs 5.5ms average latency difference. Compare to something like an Xbox controller with 10ms.
Still nice to see there's even more advantages in Bluetooth latency, custom dongles can be annoying.

>>107097183 (OP)
reminder that if the controller doesn't support rechargeable double aa's then it's ewaste, that leaves us with the xbox series controller and 8bitdo pro 2
reminder that if the controller doesn't have a chatpad then it's shit for pc use, that leaves us with the xbox series controller
don't buy ewaste anons

>>107097569
Yea, still 3.5ish ms latency via bluetooth is pretty amazing. Beats a lot of wireless controllers using their own 2.4GHz dongles.

>>107097572
>reminder that if the controller doesn't support rechargeable double aa's then it's ewaste, that leaves us with the xbox series controller and 8bitdo pro 2
What's the point if the battery life is good enough and you keep it in a dock anyways? No need to swap cells either. Dualsense has an average battery life of 9 hours and if you go to the bathroom or get a snack, you can temporary dock it, even 5 minutes charges enough for half an hour.

The Pro 2 and Xbox Series controllers are severely lacking in features, low polling rate, no gyro.

>>107097606
Yeah agree, it's amazing.

>>107097572
>reminder that if the controller doesn't have a chatpad then it's shit for pc use, that leaves us with the xbox series controller
Agreed.

>>107097624
I usuaslly play at my PC tho

>>107097624
lol, all those third-party chatpads are crap. Only the official xbox one is good

>>107097611
it's not about quick charging it's about it not holding a charge in a few years

>>107097694
your stick would have failed by then anyways if you actually use it for gaming and not have it laying around for fun
if you're savvy enough to replace sticks, replacing the battery is even easier and stick would have to be replaced on xbox, 8bitdo or dualsense anyways if they fail

>>107097654
Nice anecdotal evidence.

>>107097654
I have no complains over mine

>>107097183 (OP)
Was an Xbox fan but the dualsense has really just dominated it so now I use a dualsense

>>107097715
the problem with third-party chatpads is that they use their own dongle and needs to be charged separately from the controller

>>107097728
>shit dpad

>>107097744

ya cause all dpads sucked back then, microsoft was the first to bring good dpads into their controllers starting with the xbox one

>>107097775
Original Xbox controller were the only ones with good dpads. Modern clicky Xbox controller dpads suck ass.

I actually have some saturn pads (an old usb SLS one not shown). The elves 2's dpad is at least on par with saturn one imo. Feels less mushy to be honest. Pretty cheap too, just under $30 on aliexpress right now, give it a shot.

>>107097183 (OP)
I have found the 8bitdo controllers to be really good this far, with them holding up for a few years without issue.

some Power A abomination
says it's for the switch but works fine on my ps3, which is good because the wifi/bt board conked out

>>107098064
same bro, got three of them for like 10 bucks okay-ish quality for occasional use

>>107098134
My 8bitdo sn30 pro+ was fine for 12-18 months, then the thumbstick started to go. I only used it for GTA5 and PGA 2K21/23

>>107098204
Mine have been solid, with the pro and original pro+ being I think from around February of 2020.

Flydigi Vader 4 Pro and a Dualsense. I prefer using the Dualsense whenever possible, I just prefer the shape. I should really see how annoying it is to use the Switch 2 Pro Controller on PC these days, it's easily the best-feeling controller.

>>107097441
>>best Bluetooth implementation
>>Gyro
>>good ergonomics
Plus good software customizability, programmable adaptive triggers, touchpad, great battery life.
If you have hall effect or TMR thumbsticks too, it's an all around winner.

>>107097572
It's only ewaste if you can't remove the battery entirely and have it still work wired. Wireless is gay anyway.

>>107097572
Or just unscrew them and put a new pack in. You can do this basic task, right anon?

>>107098481

>>107097183 (OP)
On PC I usually use the Xbone controller out of habit, sometimes the DualSense when I remember they can now pair to more than one device.

>>107099712
I still have my xboner and I love that it uses aa batteries but it started double clicking making playing games very frustrating.

>>107099661
The original Competition Pro joystick from the 80's, upon which that joystick is based, was analog. It gave it a much better directional experience.

>>107099731
Not the later ones. The original early ones were, but digital later on. You have to be GenX to have experienced original Competition Pro analog.

>>107097183 (OP)

>>107099813
...or maybe it was '86. Still, I don't think there was ever an analog Competition Pro 5000.

>>107099731
>>107099741
I think anon means it uses switches instead of for example variable resistors like the Apple II joystick did at the time

Got used to play with both trackpads, can't go back to sticks.

>>107098204
I love my SN30 Pro+, it's the most comfortable form factor to me, however both it and my base SN30 developed pretty bad phantom diagonal inputs (the base was much worse).
I replaced the dpad membranes in both of them and now they are really loud and almost impossible to do diagonals on, feels bad.

>>107097183 (OP)
I mostly use an 8BitDo Ultimate or an original wired X360 controller. For D-Pad heavy games I use an original Xbox One controller because I like the plus-shaped clicky D-Pad on that one.

>>107097197
D-pad is bad, soft is unbelievably bad
>>107098248
(Vader) buttons bad: clicky but non-tactile

Tried both in an attempt to leave my Xbox X/S because it's soft Microsoft cucked and it is not chargeable. Concluded that I enjoyed my old Logitech F310 much more than either of them.

Still want to leave my Xbox X/S addiction, hope here I will find something.

I use the Logitech f310. I use it for my acer nitro 5 from 2022 very often and it run pop! _os. It just works with the pcsx2, dolphin, ppsspp, and steam games with proton and basically all games actually. I have sworn by this controller for many years.

>>107099716
Honestly I've had great luck with Xbox controllers so far, even my original 360 pad works over 15 years later, the only thing I replaced was the thumbsticks since the rubber wore out.
My DualShock 3 controllers, not so much, both barely hold a charge and have random D-Pad inputs.

>>107102766
It's not about luck, really.
One internet search is enough to show even series x owners facing the same problem.

>>107097183 (OP)
Dual Shock 3

The best controller ever made. I have a bunch of spares, including a couple new in box.

I have a knockoff transparent xbone one and aside from the d-pad it's fantastic
To this day I cannot get over the design Xbox has for this shit, if I press up I should never be going to the left of right if I angle my finger too much
Fucking circular shit

>>107102845
Sorry but I'm against animal cruelty.

>>107102796
Could be, mine works so far, I've had it since 2019.

>>107102845
I have 2 from my PS3 I got in 2010, both have annoying issues besides the battery.
The DS4 was a massive improvement in ergonomics.

>>107102908
Mine is from 2017.
The double input became extremely noticeable and annoying a month ago, it was time to replace it.

>>107102982
Is it known what causes it? If it's just the membrane underneath the buttons it should be trivial to fix.
At the very least the Xbox pads have connectors for the rumble motors unlike DualShocks which you have to desolder and resolder.

>>107103034
People have tried cleaning it and the problem persists.
I haven't found an answer and that's why I replaced it, won't be getting microsoft controllers in the future.

>>107103044
Understandable, even though mine still works I can tell the 360 pad was more robust though not as ergonomic.
I prefer the DualSense layout and prompts over Xbone, but I don't see the point in buying a controller with a non-replacable battery and conventional analogue sticks when Hall effect sensor ones exist.
I honestly don't know what I'll get in the future, I doubt anyone makes a PS5 joystick with AA/AAA batteries and Hall effect sticks.

>>107103120
Closest you'd get to that is the 8Bitdo Pro 2. Which I don't personally like, but AA/AAA batteries aren't in many controllers these days.

>>107100638
>f117 of gamepads

>>107100180
Probably more the Decks fault, my DualSense's range on my desktop is around 8 meters and that's trough a wall.

>>107103120
Honestly, you want such specific stuff you should just learn how to solder all that stuff to a DS. They sell TMR / HE switches and battery packs on Amazon for like 20 dollars

Its easy as heck to do

>>107105030
Yeah, realistically the best option is to modify a DualSense controller.
I'm just wondering what I'll do in 10 years when the only battery options are fake batteries from AliExpress, like what happened with my DS3.
AA batteries are a more consumer-friendly option even if it's not as elegant and lightweight.

Xbox 360 wired
Dualshock 3 with proper drivers that emulate a Dualshock 2 for PS2 with pressure sensitivity.

>>107097183 (OP)
>>107097349
Exactly this. The DS4 is really comfy.

>>107105127
>Xbox 360 wired
My favourite still, I ended up with hall effect sticks because the old sticks were starting to lose their mechanical spring. The sensors still worked okay. D-pad is 3d printed and mimics a sega saturn mechanism internally.

I fear my current one will have issues eventually.

>>107106421
Steam Controller 2 is rumoured to be releasing very soon, it's pretty much the deck controller with better handles. Pic related is the icon recently found added to the Steam client

>>107100444

>>107105374
Used mine so long that the rubber came off the sticks

>>107097183 (OP)
Dualshock 4 but Dualsense is apparently better. I just don't see a reason to upgrade.

I don't like asymmetric controllers and the Xbox controllers are very uncomfortable in my hands in long sessions. The Nintendo Pro I can tolerate.

>>107107746
I should have kept my original rubber sticks longer, They were getting worn but its was a shock how much faster the cheap replacements wear down.
The hall sensors actually came with its own set of replacements sticks.

>>107106993
They're going to ruin it by making it asymmetric right?

>>107107839

8bitdo pro 3 for pc, dualsense for ps5. Used to just use an xbox controller for pc but decided to give the 8bitdo a try, so far I like it alot. My only complaint is the mushy face buttons that are removable, they could feel better. Otherwise its great, I wish I could use it with my ps5.

>>107108837
Who knows, maybe if enough people email retro-bit they'll do it.

>>107106993
looks peak comfy

I have a whole collection, it really depends on the game. For modern stuff, I tend to use either an 8bitdo pro 3, switch pro 2 or a dualsense these days. For older stuff it's either OEM controllers from back in the day or the NSO repros. GameCube stuff is a toss, either my ancient T3 controller, NSO GCC or my custom 8bitdo board based build in an extremerate shell, depending on where I'm playing gamecube games.
>>107108782
You probably want the drop-in 8bitdo board then. I think it's compatible with OEM sticks, so you can get one of these cheap hall-effect repros and keep swapping them whenever they wear out. Metal sticks go into hundreds of dollars when you can score one.

>>107110353
I hope people mod this one, I don't like domed xbox-style face buttons, or their triggers, if they're all supposed to be clicky, give me a slider to turn them into hair triggers with proper mouse switch stops. Also, the dpad better be clicky, once you go clicky you can't go back.

8bitdo pro 2 for me

>>107097197
I own one. It has a lot of neat features. I don't understand the complaints aboutthe dpad. The right face buttons should be micro stitches like all the others and not membrane. The layout changing motor is a really dumb gimmick and annoying more than anything. Add shift layers those changes and it would be 99% perfect. The rgb light stuff is gay but appeals to gaymers i suppose.

>>107108849
Can you tell me if the face buttons are loud or as silent as the ones on the dualshock?

Thanks for this, I had no idea it existed, it's literally my ideal controller made real.

>>107111439
i also like the charging station. basically makes battery life a non issue since you are always charging it when you don't use it. only issue i have with it is that gyro only works over bluetooth which kinda sucks. also it doesn't want to connect on linux mint for some reason. it like connects and disconnects all the time but works fine on arch. i wish the xbox one controller had gyro and hall effect sticks.

>>107097572
All handheld controllers that don't support the newest standards are ewaste, virtually indistinguishable from the hardwired NES controllers of yore.
The newest standards in this case include trackpads, joysticks that don't suck, triggers that are at least dual stage and full 6 DoF tracking functionality.

>>107110353
yeah I'm going to be picking it up the second it goes on sale. for other games my go-to is still this motherfucker, the battery life is measured in MONTHS, god-tier d-pad and the buttons are the best feel of anything except possibly the Wii U Gamepad. also works perfectly over bluetooth on linux, but you need either some fucky drivers or an adapter to use it on Windows with bluetooth

>>107097197
I hate to say it but GameSaar actually makes good controllers.

>>107110353
It looks really good. I liked first steam controller but the lack of d-pad made it awkward for many games that require precise directional input, especially retro.

>>107097349

but not in terms of longevity

>>107116955
>t. crab hands

>>107117969
Cry me a fucking river.

Is there a PS2/Daulshock 2 adapter that differentiates the left stick from d-pad?

Mine lasted 8 years before the stick started acting up (not drifting). Didn't even have to replace the whole stick, just swapped one of the washers(?) in the module. The only reason I stopped using it is because I wanted back buttons.
Everything is like this nowadays. New units of the same model will break in 2 years, old ones will last you 2 decades with minor repairs. Same with the original G502 I'm still using. For longevity at reasonable prices you might actually be better off buying chink shit at this point.

I know new one is about to release soon (in Valve time™ anyway), but is there a way to get a replacement dongle for the original? I lent mine to a friend, who immediately lost the receiver, and when I contacted Valve to request another even thought it was almost brand new to the market they basically told me to go fuck myself. Bluetooth mode always felt like shit in comparison because of the difference in latency, and I think it also did something to weaken/disable the haptics, but I'd be keen to dig it out storage and give it another go if I could get an actual USB adaptor for it.

Switch 2 Pro Controller

>vastly superior to their old DS3 for sure
this is just a bad opinion
DS3 is perfect ergonomically if you're not a monkey who needs to death grip the handles

>>107097293
wait the fuck i thought tmr was all of hall-effect's benefits plus some more.

Xbox One controller I've had 5 years. No reason to switch or 'upgrade' at this point unless it breaks.

i have an xbox elite 2 controller i use for playing vidya on my laptop.

chink marketing will type whatever it needs to to make you think new good old bad

I use a wired x360 pad I found at goodwill for $3 like 10 years ago.

Steam Controller. Love them touchpads and gyro, and don't really care about the dpad since I grew up with a hand-me-down PC playing DOS games so I'm more used to the keyboard for 2D games.

>>107120896
Besides finding a used one? No, it's a proprietary dongle using a proprietary protocol.
Also your timing must've been pretty unfortunate because they started selling spare dongles a year after release.

I got a PS5, but I see no reason to use the dualsense on PC as I have a still kicking SIXAXIS that came with my PS3 FAT. yeah, the sticks have more drift than any fast and the furious movies, but the buttons and the dpad are near flawless. I have a brand new DS3, but I dont see any reason to use it yet. I am not saying that the drift makes it viable for any game, but for 3d fighters, and old skool beat'em ups, the trusty sixaxis does its job well enough. I wonder, what does people do with their controllers that they bitch and moan that the Dpad or the buttons are failing, I guess they have stronk bear hands.
>Repalce the sticks
I would if I could. franklyu I had not dwelves inm that, and I dont know any electronic shop that inspire me enough trust to assign the job. I know, its a ME problem. But since I am here:
Is there good analog stick replacements for a Sixaxis / ds3? Id like to know, because this controller still has so much life in it and I would hate it to be another PCB in the landfill

>>107097349
I wish everything was DS4. I wish keyboards felt like the DS4.

>>107097183 (OP)
Dualsense but I told Amazon I didn't receive it and got a refund like a nigger

>>107123876
Most Dualshock 3s have TMR sticks, so shouldn't experience drift. The Sixaxis didn't, and nor did later production DS3s as Sony started using cheaper components to cut costs.

>>107123876
Any hall/TMR sticks that are compatible with DS4 are also compatible with DS3

>>107097183 (OP)
Is there any 2D oriented controllers that feel like GBA SP or original NDS? I loved those shallow clicky buttons.

>>107124503
Thanks for the answer
>>107124484
thanks as well. Hmmm I got said DS3 when I bought a PS3 super slim since my PS3 FAT got the inevitable YLOD. But I guess since it came with the super slim chances are that it is one of the late batches. Well, at least with your answers I have a better idea of what to do, I guess those stick replacements are easy to find in amazon or even ebay. Now fingers crossed that when I have some disposable income to buy them they dont sell me shit.

okay so this is off the cuff but how much do you reckon people would be willing to pay for a controller that practically does not degrade? machined steel, no moving parts, silicone gaskets, bl-something nokia battery, open fw etc.

>>107125140
Most people don't care all that much as long as the sticks are HE/TMR, if even that. You'd be aiming for a small audience that does care and/or ends up actually liking how the controllers feels or what features it comes with, and the latter is ultimately more important.
Needless to say, it'd have to have lifetime warranty and a no-bullshit return policy. And then you could probably sell it for $300.

wish they'd make a dualsense with a battery that lasts more than a couple of hours
if i have nothing else on and i just want to game all day i'll have to plug it in because it simply won't last a full day
my xbawks elite 2 lasts a month

>>107127601
What even causes the Dualsense battery to drain as quickly as it does? Chink controllers with higher polling rates, more LEDs, and a battery a fraction of the size last hours longer than it, even in games that don't use its gimmicks. Is it just an inefficient chip? Does unplugging the mic or adaptive triggers make a difference?

>>107097349
This, I've put Hall Effect sticks in mine a few years ago. Never had any problems with drift, it's just perfect.

>>107116496
This is my favorite controller of all time. It just feels amazing in my hand. I6also a big fan of both stickup top.

>steamos
dual sense edge is very good
>built in trackpad for gui navigation
>4 extra buttons for mapping in games without gamepad support

but 8bitdo ultimate 2 is godlike with d-input on 2.4ghz dongle, full steaminput support with all the buttons and gyro.
to enable that you just have to hold the B button when powering on the controller (update the firmware).

>>107098204
Probably an old controller before they started putting in magnetic sticks (used to be hall and now they're moving to superior TMR tech)

pro 2 has gyro, pro 3 has high polling rate and comes with a dock.

Bluetooth HID spec caps out at 125, you either need dongles or a wired connection to go higher.
