Whats the best controller for PC gaming?

>>715051996 (OP)
Xbox for Xinput

>>715051996 (OP)
Dualsense

DualSense with modded-in hall effect sticks

Are the gamesir controllers actually any good or am I falling for the meme?

>>715052228
they are alright

wii u pro

>>715051996 (OP)
Dualsense, the only controller than actually feels next gen and worth it's price out of all the options.
Also symmetrical sticks for symmetrical human hands.

>>715051996 (OP)
The steam controller of it had 2 extra rear buttons and a dpad instead of a left thumb stick

>>715051996 (OP)
dual sense or 8bitdo
the correct placement of analog sticks

>>715051996 (OP)
I really wish devs would implement adaptive triggers more, they are fucking amazing when used correctly

>>715052224
That’s what I got and somehow it still develops drift.

>>715051996 (OP)
The Xbox Series X is fine. It feels similar to the 360 but with a dpad that's actually usable for fighting games and better sticks.
The 360 had better triggers though even though they don't have the meme haptic motor vibration feedback things.

>>715055324
Because Hall effect is still shit, you need to get TMR

>>715055324
It's effectively impossible for them to drift under anything but exceptional circumstances, simply due to how they work. Guaranteed your calibration is just fucked.

Why is this even a question?

Dualsense, motion aiming helps a lot and the touch pad can be used to navigate the PC instead of having to fetch a mouse.
Also there's already a lot of games that support the wacky rumble and the triggers if you are into that.

>>715051996 (OP)
i just want a steam deck but without the screen.

switch 2 pro (when it gets drivers)

Snoyggers are so mentally ill.
No one wants your chinkshit with terrible layout that doesn't even work plug&play.

You have to use your hands?? Thats like a babies game!

>>715055423
I look at the calibration and the stick jitters around while in neutral. Sure, I can increase the deadzone but that only gets me so far.

>>715055434
>this nigga playing dark souls with a mouse and keyboard

>>715051996 (OP)
They all have a major flaw in some way or another, the perfect controller for PC doesn't exist. Either you get a subpar controller that doesn't even have a battery, or you get a good controller that doesn't match the face button mapping (which is fine in some games but many games don't properly support face mapping for non-xbox controllers).

I'm inclined to say Switch 2 Pro Controller as it's replaced my DualSense, but it's annoying as hell that in many games I have to remind myself that A/B and X/Y are flipped.

>>715055501
Shut up, snoy.
I can see through tour falseflag, always trying to start shit.

>>715055483
>$85 dollaridoos
>no analog triggers, no touchpad, no mic, same shitty alps sticks, only addition is 2 back buttons
AHHHHAHAHAH

>>715055670
I seriously cannot comprehend how the Pro 2 is more expensive than the fucking Dualsense of all things

>>715051996 (OP)
Both are extremely shit because both have the same blueprint flaw of joysticks drift

>>715055764
It depends on where you live. In my country the Switch 2 Pro Controller is $99 and the DualSense is $115.

>>715051996 (OP)
Switch 2 pro controller

Xbox Series conroller is my main PC controller and I just don't ike the bumpers on them. The contact part is way too thin and they go back constantly if play rocket league they also hurt my fingers if I hold the controller in a way that's comfortable it seems like they're made to be hit from the far side but that makes you hold it like a pair of joycons with a strong bend in your finger idk it gets uncomfortable fast in a way that the dualshock 4 never did. I never used a PS5 controller before

>>715051996 (OP)
dualsense/dualshock 4

its comfortable, has a good dpad, and with gyro and the touchpad, you can play a bunch of PC games that dont have proper controller support using steam input, gyro alone makes playing shooters bearable on a controller

>>715052058
moot point ever since steam added steam input

>>715055434
do you play racing games and hack n slashes with this, idiot?

>>715051996 (OP)
i use an xbox controller wired. works perfectly with everything and it helps that 99.99999% of controller supported games on pc use xbox symbols.

>>715051996 (OP)
Xbox or switch pro
Dualsoy is overpriced garbage, sticks drift, the SHITTIEST battery ever, useless touchpad. The worst controller ever

>no gamesir
good morning sarrrrss

>>715056172
be careful the usbc port solder will probably break depending on what cable you use

>>715056103
yes, next question

>>715051996 (OP)
DualShock 4 just because it's lighter than the DualSense.

>>715055543
>complete whole trilogy with mouse and keyboard easily
>get ps3 for demon souls
>realize that controller movements and controls in general are dogshit
>never touch demon souls again, same with bloodborne

and yeah, years later when it came out completed elden shit, with the same mouse and keyboard, no idea how fags play dark souls with controllers

>>715056416
so you play Devil May Cry or Forza with that? moron

>>715052228
had 2 xbox controllers fail within a year and get stick drift. my gamesir is doing fine so far 6 months in

>>715055934
this nibba fucks

dualsense is my favorite but I use an Xbox series controller now. its very good too, I switched to it for the better connectivity a few years ago after having problems with it in a few pirated games

>>715056367
i'm using a 3m braided cable which came with a gamesir controller i bought. nice controller with really fast polling rate but it's quite a bit smaller than the official xbox controller so i just use that instead. no issues so far.

>>715051996 (OP)
DualSense if you don't mind the damn thing developing stick drift after a few months.

>>715052228
I bought one like a month ago and I like it so far. The only issue I have is that I can't check the remaining battery

one that has back buttons and gyro for modern nintendo emulation

>>715051996 (OP)
Vader 4 Pro

>>715055434
Dogshit if you are left handed like me

>>715056031
steam input has horrid input lag

>analog up, d-pad down is the new norm
kill me

>>715051996 (OP)
Xbox 360 controller.

>>715051996 (OP)
Series X. Plug and play, PC games also usually have Xbox button prompts instead of other controllers.

>>715051996 (OP)
Since consoles are gay now, ill have to start thinking about this soon. Ugh...

>>715051996 (OP)
Dualsense since it has the cool haptic feedback triggers and the touchpad.

>>715051996 (OP)
I have DS4 and Series X and I'll never stop using the SeX for two main reasons

1. Xinput
A lot of cope surrounds this with people suggesting third party options but what's the point when Xbox controllers work just fine with mapped buttons and support for most games.

2. Battery
At first, not having rechargeable batteries killed my interest in using an Xbox controller but after investing in rechargable AA batteries + charger I never looked back and played with a cable. Batteries are empty? switch to a charged ones and charge the empty ones. A never ending cycle of playing wirelessly without having to plug a cable once.

>>715055434
There are analog keyboards but I know you ain't got that shit nigga

>>715051996 (OP)
Dualsense with TMRs

>>715052228
I have one of their little shitty mobile clip on controllers but it's actually made me consider getting a proper controller from them because it's better than it has any right to be.

>>715051996 (OP)
wired xbox 360

What about the Xbitdo Ultimate 2C?

>>715057343
BASED

>>715051996 (OP)
Dualshock

>>715072270
The first one?

I still use a DS3 I got back in 2015
I've had to replace some parts which made the controller much shittier to use but it still works.

>>715051996 (OP)
xbox just for battery life + native support going back to vista games

>>715052137
>>715052224
>>715055021
>>715055463
yeah you guys are retards. i have a daulsense controller and while its a nice controller, it barely works on a pc. it has dogshit driver support and only works on steam games thanks to steam input.
xbox controller works way better with a pc

sadly the dual sense is godlike but its a sony product so you have to fund their gay propaganda machine or settle for slightly

>>715074543
slightly worse*

>>715074543
>fund their gay propaganda
>thinks the dualshit is godlike
you already bought the propaganda

>>715051996 (OP)
I bought picrel and have been using my old Dualshock 1 for years.
Aside from being a little yellow, it's in almost perfect condition.

>>715051996 (OP)
kneel

>>715052228
the cyclone 2 is actually good, i dunno about the others

whats the closest i can get to an xbox dpad (8 way disk, clicky tactile) with a playstation layout?

>>715051996 (OP)
Dualsense is superior feature-wise, but I'd say Xbox controller is more comfortable. Furthermore I am not sure if PC games make use of exclusive Dualsense functionality.

>>715051996 (OP)
The one you prefer holding

>>715078095
ZD O+ is the only one with that stock, but the symmetrical layout puts the sticks uncomfortably close together. The alternative is swapping in or adding on a disk to a Gamesir Tarantula.

>>715079331
> 0.00085 BTC
damn, why is it so expensive

>>715051996 (OP)
the one that feels good in your hands

>>715056031
>gyro alone makes playing shooters bearable on a controller
You have to be retarded playing shooters with a controller on PC.

>>715056103
Do you play Starcraft with a controller?

>>715081196
huh, why? most fps games are easier to play with controller

>>715051996 (OP)
DS4

>>715081325
Because you are letting the game play for you.

>>715081419
well, thats how the game was designed by the developers

>>715079985
Modularity tax. It's about half the price of the Victrix alternative, but you'll always pay a markup for that function.

>>715081543
Yes because otherwise shitters like you would constantly cry on twitter how impossible the game is.

>>715081549
i would instantly buy it if you could put the dpad on the right side, i dont get why isnt that an option since most people are right handed

>>715055543
try to parrywalk in DaS2 with a controller, I dare you!

>>715052228

I have a tarantula and I am a bit disappointed.

>battery life is mediocre compared to the 8bitdo pro 2 I had before
>xinput only works over the dongle, while the orher modes only work over bluetooth
>tactile buttons feel flimsy

Minor complaint but I also don't like how it turns just by plugging into the pc.

>>715081196
PC controller players make faggots like you so butthurt because of MUH AIM ASSIST, lmao.

3rd party, Xbox based design.

Whatever you do, do not waste money on first party controllers like a retard.

>>715083252
You are probably one of the people who lose their mind when KB+M players use the same aim assist as controller players.

>>715083548
What games offer native aim assist for kbm players? Only 1 i know of off the top of my head is Destiny.

>>715083548
>KB+M players use the same aim assist as controller players
name 1 (one) game that does this

>>715084331
The Finals made it possible for some time.

Today i ordered 8bitdo Ultimate 3-mode. After years of playing on cheap 5$ pads that always drift and aren't even analog lol. I hope it will last for some time

>>715051996 (OP)
I still don't know why this or something like it isn't a fucking thing. Maybe one of those Cyborg things with a mouse but idk. Really needs to get figured out.

I just want a controller that's a Steam Deck without the screen. Shit's perfect, love the touchpads and gyro. Otherwise, DualSense for nostalgia, gyro, and ergo. How the fucking Xbox controllers hand on with no modern tech for the same price I'll never know.

>>715077536
Oh shit I may need that

>>715077739
After the Deck I deeply regret not getting one when it was cheap, but everyone rushed them.
