What controller do you use on PC, sir?

Dualsense
I will not redeem

>gameSIR
I will never redeem

I'm straight, so I use a DS4.

>>715407586 (OP)
8BitDo Ultimate 2

>>715407586 (OP)
xbox

>>715408927
nta, but looks cool. does it have motion sensor?

>>715408927
Been using the Ultimate 2c for fightan, love it. I've heard the dpad is kinda meh on them but I'm a weirdo who uses the analog stick so I haven't really put that to the test yet.

>>715407586 (OP)
I buy tarantula pro but RT button broke
So I buy a gamesir kaleid

But I recommend cyclone 2 for wire or wireless

>>715407768
I don't really get this joke; like yeah saar pajeet meme but Gamesir is made in the middle of China. It's like calling a black person racial slurs for a Mexican.

>>715409223
Yeah. You can use it on PC too.

>>715407586 (OP)
I wanted one of these but I hear the dpad is lackluster, is it true op?

>>715407586 (OP)
PowerA Wired Controller For Xbox Series X|S. It just works, also cheaper than regular Xbox controller

A gamesir cyclone 2, because it has TMR analogs and it was cheap.

>>715409524
Hong Kong is not China let alone the middle of it

>>715409524
A black person named Juan, maybe.

A wireless starfield themed xbox sex controller

>>715409285

>>715407586 (OP)
DO NOT

>>715410151
AliExpress is also of Chinese origin.

>>715407586 (OP)
Both of these, the mini is pretty sweet. People always tell me I need to buy the wireless but I don't feel like it...

>>715407824
thats the gayest controller you could use though

Why are these threads always shilling chink shit? Is that really the only option if you don't want offical overpriced controllers?

>>715411714
At least it's not madcatz man.

>>715411714
Official controllers have drift. The chinese ones have hall effect or TMR, and cost 1/4 of the alternative ones they make in the west (razer and all that shit) that use the same technology.

>>715411714
Because the chink stuff is the only option if you want sticks that aren't dogshit and extra features like programmable buttons, turbo, macros, etc. for a reasonable price.

>>715407586 (OP)
Do you have a Tarantula anon?
Thinking of getting one but i dunno if it's gud or is just a meme.

>>715407586 (OP)
not that one because the d-pad is absolute horseshit

>>715411714
The real reason is that first party controllers are shit. You need to go with chinkshit if you want the most advanced controllers these days.

>>715407586 (OP)
wired dualsense

Some $20 chinese knockoff of an xbone controller. Never had any problems with it, but I only use it for emulators.

>>715411714
First party controllers have fallen prey to the snap-on effect; where previously you could be assured that the build quality was high the businesses have long since decided to capitalise on the brand trust and instead cut production costs. There are N64 and PS1/2 controllers that still work as good as they did the day they left the factory but there's modern controllers that get stick drift in less than a year. People are already reporting stick drift on the Switch 2. We already know exactly how to design a rock solid controller that will outlast the consoles they're made for but it costs 1 cent less to instead use parts that are touted as being 'higher efficiency' and 'more accurate' but leave out the fact that they'll be dead within two years; there's even more money to be made if you're selling shovels to people on a yearly basis, why make a controller that will last decades?

We're at the point now that some companies make controllers that are designed with that obsolescence in mind with hotswappable joystick modules that require no soldering. The parts are implicitly so bad that companies instead sell you replacement ones, once again making them even more money. Chinkshit might be chinkshit but it's still a better roll of the dice than trusting Microsoft not to fuck you over with one of their controllers becoming unusable within a year's time. What's cheaper? Buying a full price official console controller once every year or two or spending a quarter of that on some chinese knockoff shit that still uses hall effect sensors for joysticks and maybe it lasts three times longer than the official ones?

It was cheap and use no batteries.
Probably should get a dual shock or something, but that does the job.

i used to use my old xbox 360 controller but replaced it with this

>>715414834
It's a software issue too.
Old consoles do re-center on boot / plugging or unplugging etc..
The PS2 and PS3 controllers use the same tech as the modern ones, but these consoles will recalibrate shit because they know it wears out.

I've been using the 8bitdo pro 2. I replaced my Xbox Elite 2 after it started double-clicking the shoulders and not registering them. Extremely disappointing build quality for a "premium" controller from Micro$oft.

>>715414986
I used a PS2 controller on my PC for over a decade before it finally gave out. Nothing to do with the console.

ps5 controller for fightan
xbox controller for everything else

Cyclone 2. It's pretty good.

Accept no compromise

>>715414915
That's so wasteful.

I have a g7 se. I like it well enough, but the D pad isn’t very sensitive for stuff like THPS.

I too would like to know the answer to this question, and my most important criteria is quality of the D-pad for precision platformers like Super Meat Boy or retro games like Contra where incorrect inputs mean death. I don't care about gyro-trash or wireless.

>>715407824
The D-pad will get the job done but is far from great.

>>715408927
How's the D-pad? This one seems to get recommended a lot these last couple years.

>>715407586 (OP)
Xbox One controller for most games.

Elite controller for WoW (need those extra back paddles).

I finally got PS3 emulation to work so my PS5 controller for that.

I guess I need to get a gamecube controller now that I also got Dolphin working.

Got them on AliExpress

One last bump

>>715407586 (OP)
ive had 2 gamesir controllers. the first one had orange triggers and was good, but that bitch fell apart like nothing ive ever used before. the second was the t1. stiffest fucking dpad ive ever used. has the build quality gotten any better?

>>715421384
What's the statfield one?

>>715415032
>8bitdo pro 2
same, but the xbox version
WIRELESS WHEN

>>715426228
Z01

>>715407586 (OP)
I'll be of the getting this tomorrow sir very good yes.

Any PS-compatible controllers that are designed in the form of an NS Pro controller (preferable) or at least like an Xbox controller that aren't overpriced like pic related?
I tried both and I actually like the Victrix unlike the Wolverine but it's still too expensive for my liking.

>>715407586 (OP)

>>715427498
Holy multiple points of failure.

>>715427498
This controller is so fucking ugly it breaks the laws of physics.

For me it's this
I really wanna wipe the logo off sometime though, lol, if anyone has done something similar lmk how

>>715427605
Heh... you haven't seen nothing

>>715407586 (OP)
I'm considering a adapter so I can plug in my snes controllers to my PC. I can't find a decent dpad for 2d. Will also see if it's possible to get it to work with my phone(it shouldn't be)

>>715427776
>came out last year summer
>already got canned
rip

>>715407586 (OP)
Steam controller.

>>715426613
Can't buy that anymore on Ali it seems. Oh well, got the left one en route to me.

In order of preference
>Gamesir Tarantula Pro
Just an overall great controller, buttons feel great. Shit gyro, but it's not really something I use anyway.
>Dualsense
For the games which support them, the gimmicks are nice. Unfortunately, they only work wired AFAIK. I also very much dislike the shape, I can't get it to be comfortable for me.
>Xbox Elite Controller 2
It's kinda ass, but since I spent money on it, I used it a lot. Stick vibrations for racing games are the bees knees though, Dualsense triggers are far from feeling as good. But it's basically only a thing for Forza, and now Forza's pretty much dead.

>>715407586 (OP)
8bitdo Ultimate. Used to have Xbone one, and 8bitdo pro 2, couple of Razer Raiju (great shape, but rubberized coating and protocol weren't good) and some other randos, but Ultimate just feels right. And the dock is just the cherry on top. It's always charged, it has its own place on the desk, and it looks slick.

>>715427930
Sometimes I look at old 1st party pads and think that their designers have never seen a human being in their life.

>>715428207
You can get it on Amazon, fren. I really want either but 25 dollars makes me think I'll feel how cheap it is

dualsense and it sucks so much fucking ass it doesn't work with bluetooth
you get like 2 sec delay and if you move in a direction it keeps moving there
i feel like a fucking caveman with my cable

>>715427704
Find the right strength of solvent. Depending on how the logo and brand name were applied to the plastic, it may not be possible.
The letters/logo may be part of the coating (or is negative space, as in the plastic is white and the blue gradient is the only coloration), meaning a harsher solvent like acetone would tarnish that blue gradient.
Or the letters are set into the plastic, so even if you remove the white, you'll still have the letters ever so shallowly engraved into it, like the letters on the charging base below.

First try a mild abrasive magic eraser and/or isopropyl alcohol swabbing, go at it for several minutes.
Alternatively, get one of the custom faceplates that controller has. There are some white plates with the logo that is clearly printed on, that would be easier to remove and prevent any effects of tarnish.
You may even be better off taking the plate off and spraypainting it, customize it yourself and cover over the logo.

>>715429058
>it doesn't work with bluetooth
yeah it does
>you get like 2 sec delay and if you move in a direction it keeps moving there
no?

it sounds like you are one, your pc is probably riddled with malware and it's fucked your drivers up for everything

>>715426895
I got the retro one and its really solid for 25$ . I wish there was more ps style controller

the ps5 one

>>715429295
not him but I had this one, it was amazing

>>715429238
Thx. I'm actually using a slightly transparent black faceplate that came with it rn, I don't think I could really do anything too glaringly destructive to it

>>715429270
>>715429315
in fact i threw one away because i thought it was broken
bought a new one and it behaved exactly the same

>>715429408

huh, that's a big mystery
one we'll never be able to solve
oh wait, it might have been because you fucked your os

Vader 4 Pro. It cost me a little less than $40 and was a pleasant surprise overall

>PDP Atomic Carbon Camo Neon Orange
30€ at the grocery store. USB-C port, I use a short cable because the USB hub is on my desk.
2 years I've been using it, no problem whatsoever.

Can someone recommend me a good controller with an absolutely oustanding dpad?
Im tired because even on most 'top tier' controllers theyre just an afterthought

>>715430951
what's the orange corner button?

>>715431020
it rings a bell on mom's kitchen letting her know i want nuggies

>>715431074
uh...based?

>>715431020
Mute button

>>715431020
>>715431712
Yupn mute button for the mic. Quickly press twice to mute the mic, the LED glows red.
I never use it, but you could remap it in the PDP app I suppose.

>>715426895
Looks like they made the sticks farther apart tho shame there's like two options for PS style controllers and they are unfaithful to the actual thing they're based on

>>715428207
I love the left one a lot more. Amazingly light and surprisingly comfortable.

>>715407586 (OP)
I've been using Dualshocks for 20+ years and loving them. I love the grip on Dualshock4 but they have a battery, so their lifespan is limited and they start giving problems.

So I was looking for a wired alternative and a couple of months ago I bought a Nanco wired gamepad and it's a pretty good choice. Very well done, very well response and looks great.

>>715432969
Nope, just overlaid it over a DS4 and the shape is identical. Sticks and shoulder buttons are exactly the same distance apart. Grips are of an identical shape and length. The sir is annoyingly tilted backwards a bit in its promotional shots while all photos of the DS4 are head-on so can't confirm that it is a 100% copy but it looks like an exact copy when it comes to the shape of the shell and layout of the buttons.

China your controllers look like shit and everybody knows it's a scam at best. Stop calling it gamesaar, stealing madcatz designs, and shilling on /v/ every 12 minutes.

>>715434461
stfu retard controller threads are better than the usual shit

>>715429860
That actually sounds sick, anon. The adjustable resistance on the sticks alone is worth the $40, especially for driving or FPS games. I’m so tired of stock controllers going mushy after six months. Does the Vader 4 Pro have decent build quality though? Stuff like that sometimes feels like it’ll fall apart after a month, even with all the features.

>>715407586 (OP)
a gamesir, i would be using a wired xbox 360 but you cant buy them new anymore
the only problem i have with the 'sir is that its white and has textured triggers and thumbstick that catches all of the GamerGunk™

please dear god someone tell me a controller with a good dpad....

NEOGEO CD 8bitdo

>>715418310
>How's the D-pad? This one seems to get recommended a lot these last couple years.
pretty good for a cross pad but it's still a cross pad. It's precise and stiff so diagonals are more difficult to get than with a floating sega style pad.

Yep, just as I was saying: no need for d-pads to exist.

>>715407586 (OP)

https://miuravault.com/en/products/gamesir-tarantula-pro?_pos=1&_psq=tarantula&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=50888318026067

Dpads should be replaced by a little numpad.

>>715437354
>dpad is the best way to play 2d games, fightan included
The dpad is a compromise. The standard for 2D and fighting games was the arcade stick and early consoles had sticks instead of pads because that was the standard. The dpad is just a cost saving solution later consoles came up with. In this day and age there's absolutely no reason for an enthusiast to continue using a pad over stick for 2D games.

>>715438132
I'm so fucking tired of you colecovision faggots ruining everything you touch with your fucking touchtone nonsense.

>>715437354
dpad is retarded nigger shit, there should just be a set of four face buttons on each side, it's insane that it's been over 40 years and you dumb niggers still can't figure this obvious shit out, fuck off retard
