Which is the better controller?

>>712710920 (OP)
For what game

Dualsense is far superior, but its also the only good thing sony has made this gen

>>712710993
Overall.
I play Session, but I know for a fact /v/ doesn't play that shit so I wouldn't be able to get an opinion on it.

Xbox layout. Not the modern Microsoft-made ones. I've always been gentle with my controllers. My OG Xbox controller and Dualshock 2s still work flawlessly to this day, and they're all like 23 years old. My 360 controllers never had problems. The Xbone and XSX controllers? I've been through like five of each, and every one of them suffered from either stick drift or double d-pad inputs/dropped d-pad inputs. Fucking shambles in quality assurance.

Series X is the perfect controller

It sucks for PC Engine because it doesn't have turbo

this is why PS controllers will always be the worst thing in the universe. there's a reason every manufacturer that matters makes asymmetrical controllers. because they're a billion times better than the PS abomination. worst possible ergonomics, everything is fucked up

I do not care about haptic feedback
I do not care about adaptive triggers
I do not care about touchpads
And I especially DO NOT CARE about gyro

>>712711601
The dpad of PS controllers is way more ergonomic than the one on Xbox controllers

>>712711776
why not? they're fun

>>712711601
Exactly

>>712710920 (OP)
Dual sense but only if you give a fuck about gyro (rarely used) and adaptive triggers (rarely used) or the touchpad (rarely used).
The rest feels the absolute fucking same.
Layout sperging is just peak cripple hands cope.

>>712711848
or alternatively DS2 but for most stuff analog face buttons are not needed

>>712711890
They're gimmicks. That wear off quickly and only do nothing but drain the controller even quicker.

>>712711980
>gyro (rarely used)
FPS, on-rails shooters and VR games are literally unplayable without gyro

>>712711118
>No gyro
>In 2025
>Perfect

>>712711601
>right hand is comfortable in normal stick position
>for some reason left hand is uncomfortable in same stick position
explain nigger. how can symmetry be more uncomfortable than asymmetry?

>>712710920 (OP)
Forget better controller.
You're just a better person if you prefer the sony pad.

>>712710920 (OP)
dual sense, even on PC it's better. XboneX locked their rumble triggers to console while dual sense is as fully functional on PC as it is on PS5

>>712710920 (OP)
Why not both? Both are pretty great.

Also the ps5 touchpad is kino for games that properly support it.

>>712712068
If I want to play something with gyro I use the steampad because trackball mode + gyro is most comfy or use kb+m outright. The amount of games you actually wanna play like this and support it is very small.

>>712712273
>>If I want to play something with gyro I use [...] gyro
Makes sense

>>712712151
sure buddy, sure

>>712712415
It's more about the trackpads, I also could use a ds or chingchong xbox ripoff but stick + gyro isn't as good as trackpads pretending to be a ball + gyro.

Dualsense is definitely the more premium controller, but i prefer the way the series controller fits in my hand and like the dpad for fighting games

>>712712721
What's the point of the trackpad if you already have gyro

>>712710920 (OP)
The bumpers on the xbox controllers are absolute crap i had to replace mine twice because they get stuck and the thin inner plastic that actually clicks the button on the board breaks off.
And the rubber material on the analogs melts away faster than even the 360 analogs.
Dunno about the ps5

>>712711994
he doesnt use wired controllers

>>712712816
>"more premium controller"
>can't even swap the battery without an screwdriver and several minutes

>>712713131
Neither the dual sense or the xbox sex controllers are wired u tard

>>712713039
You can be more precise with the trackpad which allows to run the gyro on a lower sensitivity than you would with a stick making your aiming more precise. You usually don't overshoot the head as much as with flicking the stick. So you get on target faster and can stay on it better. If you know how to use a trackball that is which takes a bit of getting used to.

>>712713156
>can't even swap the battery without an screwdriver and several minutes
>battery is secured in place and you have to waste few minutes unscrewing the thing
So it is a premium controller for pros.

Everytime these threads pop up it always seems like the people behind Sony controllers always majority of the time back it because of brand loyalty

>>712713156
Playstation players simply do not understand how important replaceable batteries are. Anytime this is brought up, they act like this is to do with cheapness and not long-term reliability.

"Oh wow my controller's battery is getting real shit"

>Xbox
>Slide back open as intended
>Remove shit battery
>Replace it with a new rechargeable Philips battery you got for $15 off Amazon that has 3-4 years of daily 8+ hour gaming sessions in it

>Playstation
>Dismantle controller
>Void warranty
>Replace shit battery with $20 proprietary battery

>>712713463
>voids warranty
It usually has none anymore if you have to swap the battery but if you aren't sure that you can dismantle it and put it back together it's a valid concern. If you can not really and you usually get a better battery so you maybe have to do it just once.

>>712713463
They’ve gotten better since the DS4 but Sony controllers are also a pain in the ass to open without scuffing the plastic.

>>712712458
THAT'S NOT A FUCKING EXPLANATION

the one with the working buttons

>>712712151
But for strong opinions about either layout

>>712714396
And here he is
