The only change I could ever suggest for SN30 Pro and Pro 2 besides all the shit the Pro 3 is adding is getting some Dualsense Edge knockoff sticks and putting them in, those controllers are screaming to have dog-nose stick tops

Poo in the loo

>>715578996
Is the form factor altered any from the Pro 2? Always felt it was just a tiny bit too wide to comfortably hit the shoulder buttons in action games.

>>715577815
*hits diagonal*

>>715579131
fuck modern xbox controllers, the 360 controller was fucking great and lasted me more than a decade, only opening it once in a while to remove the gunk from the face buttons
but I've tried 1 xbox one and 1 xbox series x controller and both have issues where the face buttons sometimes double press, or if you press them on certain angles they don't register and apparently it's an actual design flaw because of the way the contacts under the buttons are laid out
I just ordered a gameSAR g7 se, let's see if it works better than the official controllers

Depends on the game or what I feel like using.

Again, if you want an upgrade

Switch Online controller IS a real GC controller, while GC Ultimate is a modernized clone with a second shoulder button and original button membrane compatibility

got it for 30$ with microsoft goyim points

Gyroless controllers are cheaper. No point in using gyro when the games you could try it in are better played with mouse and keyboard.

For whatever reason Nintendo wrote a retard-complex HID protocol that doesn't reuse any information from the Switch Pro, probably specifically to keep it from being used off-device. Switch 2 joycons are the same way, as is the Switch Online Gamecube controller.

Honestly get a used Dualsense for cheap and then get a 30th anniversary shell off of Aliexpress to do a shell-swap and button-swap with. I genuinely do not notice any difference in plastic quality between the Ali clone and a normal Dualsense shell, even if the clone shell has normal Dualsense shape-button embossing on the grips and not the 30th embossing.

Also get a battery upgrade, or a charging dock (official, ideally, I have problems getting it to charge on the IINE dock). The Dualsense has embarrassing battery life.

>>715579131
Don’t let Snoys and chinks nun suckers sway your opinion. Series X controllers are great.

>>715585491
I'd love this thing a whole lot more if it didn't have faulty triggers, bumpers and dead zone control sticks. The grips are far superior to every other controller I have ever used and it has a nice D-Pad/set of face buttons. Touch pad can go tho.

The one thing I'll give you with this controller is the HE sticks (not the triggers so those will eventually wear down and break). However as a reproduction controller it's a complete disappointment:
>face buttons are mechanical rather than membrane, which you might prefer but is totally inaccurate + difficult to repair since parts are now a two-piece set
>no pressure buttons, which sure this doesn't matter on an actual Xbone/SeX, but as a repro you can't use it with Xemu for a totally authentic experience since some games will just straight up not work
>small complaint but the original S controller had a green finish to the black color, this one is straight black and totally misses the subtlety of the original controller's color

All that being said if you're planning on using this as a regular controller it's definitely better than the standard Series controller for the HE sticks, but is it worth sacrificing wireless for HE? Granted that's the sacrifice you'll make with pretty much any third party controller thanks to Microdick's greedy licensing policy.

>>715577815

>>715593692
Not only do I use my Chroma Pearl DualSense more than the regular one, I'm thinking of replacing the regular one AND getting a Chroma Pearl skin for the console itself. The shit is fucking gorgeous and the best looking color palette Sony has ever done.

>>715596675
>but is it worth sacrificing wireless for HE?
I think so, the cable is long enough to comfortably reach to my bed or my couch and charging my wireless 360 controller mid game was always annoying.
My biggest concern is actually the face buttons sticking as that's what happened to my Xbone controller.
This one wasn't overly expensive, feels good in the hands, the B&W buttons are cool and the HE sticks as you mentioned are very nice to have.

>>715595032
Proud Xbox owner here. The controller is comfortable but to be honest it's really not that great. Literally every single button is loud as fuck which makes it impossible not to wake anybody up while I'm playing in the living room, and the bulging face buttons dig into my thumb far too painfully to my liking. The sticks are also far too loose right out the box (I just bought one brand new last month) and also I can't stand potentiometers.

Other than that the triggers are EXTREMELY comfortable (unlike DualSense, whose edges dig into my fingers) and probably the best ones I've used, I also love the impulse effect. It's a good "standard" controller but certainly not ideal.

>>715595449

I appreciate it. I'll probably go through with the white one since the 20th isn't available rn anyway.

No major complaints the few years I've used it. Works well for both emulating old games and playing modern ones. Which is a hard requirement for me.

>not insanely overpriced
>analogue sticks in the correct position

The shoulder buttons and triggers aren't anything to write home about however. Shame there isn't a triggerless version. God I hate triggers.

>>715577108 (OP)
I personally use a DS4 with hall-effect sticks that I swapped out. I also removed the battery because it was bulging a bit, so its just a wired controller now.

>>715597605

>>715595743
>potentiometers
you mean like every single controller ever made after the n64?

>>715597953
yes it reduces travel, it slides a button in place and stops the trigger from going down.

I have a controller with these slide buttons, they look exactly the same to me

Reminder that Retro Fighters is releasing a hall effect PRESSURE SENSITIVE controller in January 2026 https://retrofighters.com/our-collection/defender-pro-wireless-gamepad/

>Full gyro support (SixAxis)
>Anti friction rings (fuck Nintendo)
>Back buttons
>Turbo button
>Hairpin trigger locks
>1000Hz latency
>Wireless

This might actually be the best controller that will ever be made. The only thing I wish they'd add now is force feedback triggers and haptics, maybe for the Defender Pro 2?

>>715591432
only if it comes with a pulsing butt plug too

There's a distinct difference in feel between moving a mouse across a desk to click a head and having to hold your hands steady to line up a shot, and trying not to yank yourself off target when you pull the trigger. It's more tactile. Sadly, basically no realistic shooters actually support gyro because their control schemes always require a keyboard.

>>715599806

>>715599893
Nice that's good to know. Think I might pick it up if it comes out to good reviews. Only thing I'd say though is that, man, their controllers are sort of just ugly. I'm not usually picky about a controllers "aesthetic" but something about their controllers looks uniquely, uh, ugly? toyish? But I'll still probably buy that one.

>still no variable pressure sensitive keyboard
Just give me one for the W key please. Driving cars in games with a keyboard is aids

>>715599934
You completely missed my point. It doesn't matter. If the control scheme is too complex you can't use gyro because you need a keyboard for all the controls, and I have yet to find a tactical shooter with a control scheme simple enough to fit onto a controller.

>>715600228
a shooter that needs more buttons than what is on a controller is a shit game

>>715600098
I agree with you. I wish they'd do an Xbox style shell desu but the functionality alone sells me on this thing. I'm irrationally hyped to have a brand new controller that will effectively replace my DS2's/DS3's.

I've wanted the functionality that my DualSense edge has in the form of my DualShock 3 for a while, since I vastly prefer the latter's weight and feel, but the former is just easier to use across different generations of games, especially because of those back buttons.

>Xbox Elite S2
My oldest currently in use gamepad, case on the right. Served me well, though I probably need to see about fixing the L1 which is beginning to not react as it should and get another left stick cap standard height; I thankfully replaced the one that frayed the top after years and years with the closest included concave stick top so its fine, but still it would be nice to get some upgrades. S2 Elite is by far the best Xbox gamepad around - 4 paddles, included battery etc. I also have the old PC Xbox USB Receiver dongle (its the old flat, fat version rather than the Win10 second revision but it works just fine). The only downsides are those of all Xbox - no gyro etc. Aside from that, its fantastic and has been a reliable gamepad all this time; I've had it pretty much since it came out. Before than I had an Elite S1 which I sold, and an Xbox 360 "Silver Edition" swappable DPad edition

>Nintendo Switch Pro
I use this for Nintendo emulation primarily, WiiU and Switch, sometimes older systems. Doesn't have analog triggers and adds Gyro but otherwise works similarly to Xbox (lacking Elite S2 features of course). However unlike Xbox it has no built in XInput support so if using it for anything except emulators (which usually have built in driver support), I need to use SteamInput to configure it which is pretty much the easiest way; Steam can also account for reversing the X and Y labeling vs how Xbox does it.

>DualSense Edge
On the left side in its case, is the PlayStation answer to the Xbox Elite S2 - the DualSense Edge. Has all the benefits of basic DualSense including touchpad, mic, gyro and best haptics of any controller to date. Edge adds rear paddles (2x at a time,but they give you 4) swappable stick mechanism as well as the tops, and more. Needs drivers / SteamInput but the most comfortable symmetrical stick layout + comprhensive features.

>>715600953
I keep hearing about this whine, but that Elite S2 is basically from its launch so..2019? and neither of the sticks have given out. I've had zero problems with my other controllers too; the only one that I've had any issues with the sticks is one of my JoyCons I've been using since Nintendo's launch and that's a minor irritation - the bigger issue is the button/little PCB that puts it into sync mode and the lights next to it; I have a replacement to swap tomorrow actually.

>>715600973
So which chinkware controller are you shilling for? If you're letting this kind of brain damage pour onto your keyboard for free that can't be healthful.

Despite what every chinkoid knockoff claims, Hall Effect or TMR or whatever they're claiming now does not mean its perfect - it has exactly one potential improvement over potentiometers regarding drift. It still needs to be a decent HE/TMR mechanism or it will be an inaccurate, non-responsive piece of crap. its just like HE switches for keyboards, if they're not made well and have good sensors to back them up, good feel, good software to make use of them etc.. they're not going to be much of an advantage over plain ol MX switches 90% of the time.

>>715601238
Check the back. DS3 swapped out hall effects towards its final years.

If the serial ends in a small lettering A/B followed by a number it's potentiometer. Anything without that small lettering is HE from the prime years of the console.

>>715600808
not only are you a consoomer but a retarded one at that

>>715601347
>TMR
You don't need this. TMR is only for precision higher than what the deadzones of the sticks even allows for.

Hall Effect isn't a meme. You will find Dreamcast controllers from the 90s without a hint of stick drift to this day.

>>715597215
It is still funny to me how they made it with worse quality control than a regular one.

>>715601396
>BUY MY HIHG QWALERY NUMBER WON THE BEST! DO NOT REDEEM 1ST PARTEE DO NOT DO IT.
That parade of buzzwords you drooled out suggests faggotry of the highest order. Enjoy worshiping knockoffs who promise the moon on paper but (most of them; there are a couple of exceptions that are decent enough ) fail to deliver anything even close or have other significant issues.

I can't fucking stand all digital controllers.

The death of analog buttons and retards like >>715600000 even pusshing for the killing of analog triggers (something Nintendo has already done 8 years ago) will be the final fucking nail in the coffin for this garbage ass industry. It is literally unironically over for video games.

>>715601347
You can cope all you want, it is an indisputable fact that potentiometers wear out. It's not possible to avoid it, they operate by contact. If you're not suffering stick drift it's either because you're retarded and simply haven't noticed it, or you keep switching between all three controllers thus making it take longer for each to wear out.

>>715601445
>TMR
I know, but you'll notice that many of the 3rd party stick manufacturers are now using that as the buzzword for their latest gamepads as something even better than their older hall effect generations.

Its not a meme in that it does nothing, it does very well in preventing drift. However, the marketers have seemingly been puppeting many anons who think that A) drift is some major inevitability that happens to most every stick quickly and B) hall effect is just magically universally better and doesn't consider that crappy cheap hall effect sensors on some 3rd party knockoff may have lesser smoothness, accuracy, deadzone issues etc. vs a potentiometer using first party. I'd have no problem with first parties updating to using hall effect (or TMR if that is the latest buzzword) if they are of quality, but some of the controllers I've purchased 6 or more years ago seem to be working fine without drift so the idea that I somehow threw away my money is silly.

>no chink controller has copied the PS Vita or NeoGeo Pocket d-pads

life it's just unfair

>>715601801
I always hear great things about the Vita dpad. Damn I wanna buy one.

>>715600000

8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless has a great dpad, low travel, you can easily hit diagonals when you want to, and you get soft tactile feedback whenever you trigger a cardinal or two for diagonals. Series x controller also has the most responsive and comfortable dish shaped d-pad I've ever used, but it's LOUD, which understandably annoys people who play 2d platformers but shouldn't really be an issue for fighters where people are used to CLACK CLACK CLACK GET COMBOED with loud fightsticks or hitboxes.

>>715601603
Or maybe some of them are just reasonably durable? Oh I'm sure they'll wear out eventually, but on the eldest ones that I've used as my primary gamepad for 6+ years haven't hit it yet. If they do wear out, I'll replace them if I am still using the gamepad, but this idea that everything is a ticking timebomb that MUST go off shortly or is already happening but you just aren't paying attention doesn't make sense.

>>715601658
Whatever homogenized jealously, hipster like obsession with obscurity, and misguided self worth you have wrapped up in your gamepad preference must lead to some sort of defectiveness. Every one of those controllers I bought at the time, some many years ago, were for particular features and they've all delivered on them. What other "elite" controller could I have bought in the late 2010s? Some of those frankenstein composites that had many issues?. SCUF's which turned into a total clusterfuck? Unlike many of the 3rd party today, I don't have to use a proprietary Windows only app to configure mine, or only get gyro to function when its in Switch mode, or not want to bind any extra button, or only works because it spoofs itself as fucking Xbox360 controller so you lose certain functions, or how triggers may not be linear, or haptics may be simple rumble, unlikely to have touchpad, mic, or onboard speakers, or myriad other 3rd party issues for even recent pads, not counting how bad they used to be in the past. The newest bought was DualSense Edge and there's hardly anything that has DualSense features (ie can replicate the exact same experience playing something that uses them, like Ghost of Tsushima or Death Stranding) much less Edge ones

All of this weighted against your obsession with potentiometers going to fail, which they've not done yet and if they do I'll replace them. They've all served well for a min 3 years; its not like there was a perfect HE equivalent at the time I just didn't choose for some reason.

I actually find racing games on a keyboard, stuff like NFS, Forza Horizon, more enjoyable than playing any FPS or TPS with a controller.
I've developed my throttle finessing technique for over 20 years, though.
I have a wheel for any actual sims.

Lets use the
>8bitdo Ultimate 2 (either Wireless or Bluetooth),
as a baseline. First of all
>Is there any real difference in functionality between the Wireless and Bluetooth model?
It seems like they both support Wired, Wireless 2.4G and Bluetooth, however they label things differently. The 2.4G mentions being able to use gyro in the 2.4G mode, but the Bluetooth mentions it has to be set to Switch (Bluetooth) connectivity? So can gyro be used on either option, with either version of the controller? How about Wired? I'd think if nothing else if connected wired it ought to be able to read gyro - I know that DualSense can do so. Are there any real functional differences between the two models except for the Nintendo style ABXY style labeling on the face buttons on BT and Xbox style on Wireless? For that matter the new Pro 3 seems to only have one model (3 colors) that works on everything and has many, but not all of the Ultimate 2 features so I wonder if the Ultimate 2's BT vs Wireless models is just cosmetic?
>Any other companies alternatives that compete with 8bitdo Ultimate 2, Pro 3?

I need to check for a firmware update, but none of the suggestions I've seen online have fixed the issue. Any time I feel like it's working, it's more likely that I've just been lucky with the disconnects. I have absolutely no idea why it locks the Deck's controls upon disconnect either; pretty much forces a hard reset.

I'm planning on getting a few 8bitdo controllers soon because I haven't had the same issue with the one I own. Also curious about that 64 controller they're about to release; seems like it would be a better quality version of the retro fighters controller.

i tried to use the switch pro controller as my main for a week after my PS4 contrroller stick started drifting but then gave up becasue the dpad is so ass and most stuff outside of steam dont recognize it so i went back to my ds4

Just when you thought they couldn't get any browner.

The GOAT

I've been using this, but I recently moved to Linux and it doesn't work right over there. I get random phantom inputs, only the Microsoft mode works, and in microsoft mode there is no Gyro support.

Any ideas for a good controller to use with Linux? I have a Switch pro controller and that works, gyro works too, so I have that in the meantime but the lack of analog triggers is a deal breaker for a lot of games.

Please, I implore you, I need a recommendation for a controller with an absolutely god-tier dpad.
It really cannot be that hard...

Does the Xbox Series X controller have a better dpad than the 8bitdo Ultimate 2C? I'm thinking about switching.

>>715614687
Sega perfected it and then dropped out of the industry, sorry.

Bought a Seimitsu SELS-70X silent yesterday
I'll be using that hopefully

Racing games, most importantly, which are pretty much the only PC games you should be playing with a controller anyway. That or HMCC so you can exploit the built in aimbot.

I have a 30ft HDMI cable that lets me swap my desktop from my desk monitor to my tv in the adjacent room (no walls between it either and i route it under the rug) and I've been using a dualsense, but the bluetooth latency is really spotty. Can anyone with a 2.4Ghz controller tell me if that would be better for long-ish range connection? I can technically wire it using a usb extension cord but its about 20ft away so its annoying having a cord stretch across my whole living room.

xbox pad with convex thumbsticks is goated

not my picture but this shit
I paid $330 for it on release like a retard because razer tax but I really wanted the chun plate
stickfags stay mad the future is now

the more I use this, the more things I find to dislike about it. might buy a new controller from a different chink brand, but I don't regret buying this. it's relaxing to press buttons and make clicky sounds.

for me it is the ps3 controller

>>715598950
The most popular option are the dualsense and the ds4 pad. I personally like the dpad of the ds4 more.
The hori fight commander for switch is similar to the old fight commander that a lot of people liked. The new hori octa is something you either love or hate so it's hard to get a consensus on it.
Frame Counting has a lot of in-depth reviews on controllers for fighting games where he tests out the dpad and buttons and such, so trying browsing through his channel.

>>715578996

where do you get the extra buttons and sticks for it to change them around?

>>715606625

Then say what you think is better, you double nigger. The Ultimate 2 is considered one of the higher end 3rd parties and 8bitdo is popular vs a lot of of the no name chinktrollers. What's a better alternative that's somewhat comparable in terms of features?

>>715577815
does anyone know how to set up gyro for this controller? I tried using steam input as a nintendo controller but the sensors were kinda fucked.

>>715578996
This looks so fucking retarded, but I want one

>>715598950
>i dont even need 6 face buttons
not a pad player but the majority of pad players I see don't even bother with the fightpads, there's always some issue with them and are kinda poorly made for the price
like that other guy said I think most just use DS4 or dualsense, dualsense dpad is trash though
so yeah not very exciting for pad people

>>715624703
Use their software.

>>715578996
If the d-pad is the same as the Pro 2 I'll pass. That shit loves diagonals I don't want

TMR or hall effect sticks for no drift?

Pic related is an interesting concept; I like its FOSS and has some decent features. However the
>Oh built from the ground up for gyro bros
>doesn't swap the wheel and the mini right stick location, use full size RStick
>doesn't have a dedicated activate gyro button, suggests OH JUST HOLD DOWN L1 TO ACTIVATE GYRO
seems foolish to me. If anything was learned from Steam Controller is that you have to include all the feature of the standard layout before you add other random bullshit, otherwise its often underwhelming and requires a very large adjustment period. I hope they keep working at it it, but a handful of changes could improve it.

>>715625749

Just TMR is higher resolution but you're actually just supposed to find good quality sticks, you can definitely find TMR sticks that are shit

>>715626081
It's telling you to use touch hex for gyro not L1, what the fuck are talking about.

I just use a dualshock 4

>>715606087
>Is there any real difference in functionality between the Wireless and Bluetooth model?
Wireless models lack Switch functionality but otherwise have better hardware. Gyro is strictly bluetooth dinput, unless they're still doing the thing where xinput dongle maps gyro to right stick.
Bluetooth models have a proper Switch mode, but for whatever reason have significantly lower polling rate and significantly higher and less stable latency across all input modes, picrel. Can be used wired or wireless with gyro.
>Any other companies alternatives
BigBig Won and GameSir allow using any of xinput, playstation, or switch input modes across any of cable, dongle, or bluetooth, and have significantly more software customization.
Flydigi often functions similarly both wired and wireless, with the catch that there's (usually?) no Switch over dongle or Dinput over bluetooth. Also has more software customization, but unfortunately requires leaving it open in the background if you want keyboard or mouse binds on buttons.
Most of the lesser brands like PXN, Machenike, and Mobapad have similar customization to 8Bitdo but allow xinput dinput or Switch options across any connection.
>spoonfeeding suggestions
BigBig Won: Blitz 2 TMR, Aether
Gamesir: Cyclone 2, Super Nova, G7 Pro, Nova 2 Lite, Tarantula, Tegenaria
Flydigi: Apex 5, Direwolf 3, Vader 4 Pro
PXN: P5 8K
Machenike: G5 Pro v2, if you don't need gyro G1 Pro
8Bitdo: Ultimate 2C Wireless, Ultimate 2 Wireless

All a steam controller needs to do is include every input feature the deck has. The same exact thing. 4 back buttons (or maybe 2), 2 trackpads, 2 capacitive thumbsticks, gyro, haptics. They don't need to include the 2 microphones though.

Buy a new controller and throw that piece of shit away

>>715626417
I see that on the older version that doesn't have a real 2nd stick (they used to have an 8-way switch of sorts instead of a second stick) and while that option is there with the touchpad behind the button cluster, that seems to be focused on the mouse emulation feature. I'll see if I can find it again but there was a bit about using it since they upgraded with the 2nd stick and added 2 gyro sensors instead of just 1.

>>715630497
I think its an economies of scale thing and not sure about VAT inclusion or not If you can 3D print all the other stuff yourself (or just get someone to do it for you at thingverse/etsy) you can save money, the biggest costs are the 42-72 EUR PCB depending on how much you want soldered on, what features you want etc

>>715626562
Thanks that's helpful. I saw the config video for the Wireless version that has to do with using the Ultimate V2 utility to configure gyro while using the dongle, but I had to wonder if you were using Bluetooth mode if it would work with the Switch (or at least have the same BT features, gyro etc.. . Its odd that if the other manufacturers have universal application regardless of wired/BT/2.4gDongle then why it seems that 8bitdo restricts apparently? I get having aesthetic differences like Switch button layout or simply having a version without 2.4g if you don't want to pay for it then okay, but otherwise it should be universally feature capable on wwhatever modes are available. Its odd to have latency differences - must be a different chipset, but if both versions actually have all three Wired/BT/2.4 then not sure why. Maybe they're learning - the 8bitdo Pro3 seems to have a single model that includes all the features.

Some super generic off-brand controller I got for 25€.
Never owned a console or a controller in 30 years, bought it specifically for Blasphemous, it's absolutely fucking unplayable on a keyboard.
I now use it mainly for emulated games, does its job well, never held another controller so can't compare it to anything.

>>715634434
I'd theorize 8Bitdo started restricting it to minimize user error. Prior to the Ultimate lineup, their controllers used to work the same way. Less chance of someone tech illiterate returning a "defective" controller because they accidentally put it in PS3 mode and didn't understand why it wasn't working on PC or Switch if they don't have the choice in the first place.

To be honest I use my Xbox more than any other system in the house. It's a fantastic console and the modern day equivalent to both the Sega Dreamcast and PlayStation 3 in terms of a premiere all access media box that lets you do everything.

>>715640542
Are you going to buy the newest Xbox-pc when they make it?

I bought this piece of shit for like 5 dollars from facebook when i was playing with my phone so i guess it suffices for now.

Yes i am an absolute poorfag

>>715640676
Oh hell yeah. I'm actually really excited to see what they have cooking for it and if it is truly Windows I'm hoping they make Vulkan available for it so we can see more emulators available. My Xbox already has dev mode but a next gen console that just freely lets you download emulators off a browser rather than a storefront would be fantastic.

I'm hoping they get rid of the wireless licensing though, I'd love to swap the standard controller out for a third party hall effect controller but I'm not willing to trade wireless because I mainly game in the living room with a lot of kids running around tripping on my shit. Also I'm hoping the BC program comes back and lets you play more OG Xbox games through a universal disc based solution, the current lineup for that particular console is way too small.

I hear it's mostly roach infestations but here roaches are pretty big like pic rel so there's no way for them to enter electronics.

what controller has the best d-pad for Fightan games in your opinion?
>For me it's the ps4, i know it's an unpopular choice, but for some reason the way they edges dig into your fingers during motions feels good and more deliberate, nice subtle clicky-ness and they have a nice amount of resistance so i never misinput Dp's instead of Fb's

>>715642082
Not one of these clones has a pivot from what I understand
Early retrobit ones broke too easily too

>>715646748
Most mechanical d-pads feel about the same to me. They don't give unwanted inputs, and they don't have mushiness that gets in the way of clean half circle or dp inputs.

Why is it always troon shit?

>>715637906
That's unfortunate. I'd rather have them field comments from a single model and have a good online manual/video, than start limited features or creating confusion. Maybe Pro 3 will show them that this is the way to go, especially if all the other ones are more or less redundant anyway.
