Please /v/ tell me this controller is uncomfortable for you too... I just got this as my Pro 1 controller is beginning to get a sticky A button but for some reason damn edge of the joystick caps for the Pro 2 is really digging into my thumb to a point where I have to question if it's just me.

The Dualsense is designed with a rounder edge for the joystick caps and the Xbox joystick caps are concave so even if the edge is thin, my thumb doesn't really press onto the edge to make a full rotation of the joystick, so there's no problem there. It's just this damn $94 controller that has this issue for me. Anyone else notice this?

my switch 1 pro controller did the same sticky thing after having no problems with it until i bought a switch 2
coincidence? i dont know but now im curious

>>714055491
With all the complaints of joystick drift I haven't had any issues with the joysticks, other than the subpar rubber material that is used for the caps.

>>714054161 (OP)
I think how much you enjoy certain controllers depends on how big your hands are. If you have small lady-like hands then bigger controllers probably aren't for you

>>714054161 (OP)
I like it more than the Dualsense Edge. Lightweight, easy to use unobtrusive back buttons, melts in your hands, quiet. My only complaint is that my thumb skin scratches the shit out of the stick.

>>714054161 (OP)
I think it's just you. Do you push thumb sticks from the edge instead of having your thumb centered?

>>714054161 (OP)
I'm not trying to trying to troll at all; How are the thumbsticks digging into your thumb? It doesn't make sense to me. The thumbsticks are really smooth to me no matter what angle you play with them at.

>>714054161 (OP)
is the pro 2 smaller? i heard it was smaller than the first one

everything else is a devolution

>>714056578
correct take. i wish there were exact reshells of this that were wirelessly enabled. fuck, even wired would be fine, and that's just the xenon.

>>714054161 (OP)
sir, you bought the wrong Pro 2 controller

>>714054161 (OP)
Thank you for confirming my suspicions. I recently got to hold a Pro 2 conteoller and it felt cheap to me but the design was still basically the same so I assumed maybe I was wrong. Can you still use the Pro 1 on the Switch 2?

>>714056578
Honestly the 360 controller has the most satisfying feeling trigger and bumper buttons.

>>714056974
Nah, that's the xbox series controller

>>714056505

Well, when I rotate either joystick 360 degrees I tend to press my thumb against the "edge" of the ring that goes around the middle flat pad of the joystick cap. Since this ring is thin and stiff I believe it creates a small pressure point where when I press my thumb onto it, it becomes uncomfortable after a period of time. It doesn't help that this ringed edge has several thinner rubber rings behind it that don't particularly enhance my grip but unfortunately add to the discomfort.

>>714056804
Yep the "Pro 1" controller does work just find with the Switch 2, aside from not being able to wake the Switch 2 with the Home button.

>>714054161 (OP)
Looked it up, and holy shit it's expensive. What the fuck happened to the controller market? Is this the standard now?

>>714054161 (OP)
I just stopped using first party controllers after using chink controllers. Mobapad, vader 4 pro and even any gamesir or the m30 are great.

>>714057227
Glad to know. Thanks.

>>714056578
It was good for its time but both the Xbone and Xsex controllers are better

>>714054161 (OP)
I used a friend's. Played all of the Link's Awakening remake with it. It's fine. Dpad sucks cock, but so does every dpad in an asymmetrical controller. Otherwise, it's pretty standard. Battery life was amazing. I only had to charge it once or twice for the week that I had it

>>714056749
People shit on 8bitdo a lot, but I genuinely love their controllers
>Pro 2 is $50
>has gyro
>has back buttons
>now comes with hall effect sticks
>rechargeable battery is easily removable and can be replaced with AA batteries
>symmetrical
>firmware update lets you use it on the Switch 2
It's a no brainer and a genuinely good controller

>>714057939
Wrong
Hard edges and more vertical shape. They suck

>>714058328
Same firmware update gives it compatibility for Steam Input too, at least in current Steam Beta branch. Fully featured when connected in DirectInput mode, the D on the slider on the back. Eagerly awaiting a Pro 3

>>714058498
he's right. the dpad on x360 is fucking shit and the sticks are easier to move on the sex controller too

Imagine buying a controller without Hall effect analogs in Current Year™.

>>714058134
>Battery life was amazing. I only had to charge it once or twice for the week that I had it
Despite all the memes and the system itself having mediocre battery life Nintendo is still amazing at controller battery life, I actually don't remember when the last time I charged my Switch 1 pro controller was.

>>714058669
If they actually did address stick drift in some way (it kinda looks like they just slapped a dust jacket and miniaturized some components on the joycon 2 sticks but who knows it might be enough) then I couldn't care less really.

>>714058584
>gives it compatibility for Steam Input
What do you mean? Like Steam will recognize it as it's own controller and not an xbox or switch one? In any case, I hope a pro 3 won't sacrifice the interchangeable battery. I'm also not a big fan of the docks they've been doing recently

>>714058717
My go to controller at the time was a Dualshock 4, so I was blown away by how good the Switch controller's battery was. I had to charge the DS4 so often, might as well have been a wired controller

>>714058823
Yeah Steam will recognize it as its own bespoke controller and all hardware features are available. Normally XInput disables gyro and Switch mode disables analog triggers, Dinput over Steam Input has both, back buttons and screenshot/home buttons are also configurable without needing 8bitdo's software.

As a general rule, all first party controllers are hot garbage. I'm not a turdie shill, but third party chink controllers completely shit on the competition; more features, more comfortability at sometimes half the price.

I don't know why we ended up here, but it's simply the truth.

>>714058957
Interesting. I'll try it out. I keep it on xinput for pc and switch for my switch, obviously

>>714058970
It's incredible, isn't it? We went from first party being the only viable option with third parties being all madcatz tier to the complete opposite

>>714059086
I wouldn't say first party controllers are madcatz tier nowadays but holy fuck are they overpriced for what they are

>>714054161 (OP)
Mmmm no, I like everything about the controller except that the dpad is overly sensitive to diagonals. Still better than the switch 1 pro in that regard, but frustrating they didn't fix it fully.

>>714054161 (OP)
>but for some reason damn edge of the joystick caps for the Pro 2 is really digging into my thumb to a point where I have to question if it's just me.
It's definitely you because there is no edge that can "dig in"

>>714056578
>the absolute worst dpad in the entire history of dpads
>best anything
the dpad was unusable outside item quick select slop that the 360 generation started
the series x controller is literally just that except with a usable dpad
