This is all you need for video games

Wrong

Pretty much covers everything consoles offer.
Anything else is better left to mouse and keyboard , Full-Motion-Tracking controllers or sim equipment like flight sticks.

If it's not enough, then the game is either designed wrong or was never going to work on a traditional controller in the first place.

I'd like this one, but with the d-pad and stick swapped. Then it could be either a movement or camera input.

what about katamari damacy? what would be a better scheme for it than dual sticks
>that just means its designed wrong
nah

The lack of a second analog stick significantly reduces the number of modern games you can play. Digital ZR and ZL make most racing games impossible to enjoy properly, since carefully controlling the accelerator and brakes are basic elements even in arcade games (Art of Rally, Forza Horizon, etc.).

>>715980826 (OP)
I could do with a right analog stick. I don't even need the left one.

I'm really hoping the new 8bitdo 64 controller is a better version of the Retro Fighters controller. It's a decent controller, but it feels cheap.

Just have to wait 5 more years for it to come out

I should buy one of these. Having more face buttons is nice. Plus I really need the N64 button layout for N64's Zelda games, which I just cannot stand to play with a more standard controller. (Right stick for C button actions is ass, and there aren't enough face buttons to avoid assigning everything without resorting to awkward shit like the right bumper. I tried multiple layouts and playing the ocarina was hell.) So I bought a cheap USB N64 controller just for playing Zelda, and it works (after remapping all inputs because Ship of Harkinian assumes Xbox/PlayStation-style controller), but just as when I owned a working N64 almost three decades ago, I'd rather have a controller with two handles -- because I have two fucking hands, damn you Nintendo.
Unfortunately most of these two-handle N64-style controllers (and in fact most modern controllers) are wireless. I'm not going to be playing 50 feet from my computer so I would much rather have a wired USB controller than some battery-powered shit, because the battery is ALWAYS either rechargeable or replaceable but never both. If there's an exception to this, then I'll consider it, but I'd still rather just buy a wired one.
>dude just buy a wireless one and leave it plugged in all the time
No. At that point I'd be paying extra just to put a toxic battery in a landfill later. Wireless devices are the antichrist. Bring back wired controllers, bring back wired headphones, fuck Bluetooth.

You can just keep the cable plugged in 24/7. It gives you lower latency that way too

21 years and THE KING has yet to be beat.
Prove me wrong.

>>715988009
i find the hyperkin one is a serviceable verison

>>715981420
Looks asuka

>>715988009
No it is.
I don't know why because the xbox 360 was a hunk of crap and this was the one thing it did right.

>>715988009
I just wish they had made the bumpers as durable as all the other parts.
>hurr durr mine didn't break
Yeah, they're not guaranteed to break, but they absolutely will be the first thing to wear out if anything does. They are flawed.

Games where you actually control two or more characters or devote both sticks to full analog character control are kind of unique and rare, like Pikmin, Overlord, God Hand or Brothers or whatever.
I suppose dual analog has its place in the pick-up-soul genre.
>>715988009
>Killed every single PC genre that it could "play", because it couldn't actually play any of them very well
>Can't play any console genres because of shit DPad and asymmetrical layout
>Successors still refuse gyro
Complete and utter garbage.

I would generally agree with you, especially in regards to 6 button layouts - but after using steam deck for so long, I need touch pads and preferably some back buttons. Touch pads make anything on PC a trillion times faster since you can navigate some startup menus and options faster without needing to move back to your mouse.

good morning gamesaars

Oh, you need to hold me

And it's like right by your crotch. I uh... okay

Based

>>715980826 (OP)
those controllers are fucking shitty. i've had 3 of them and they have all had problems. luckily their customer service is pretty good and i got my money back, but i just wanted a good controller.

>>715988009
>uses batteries
>sticks get worn out fairly qucikly if you play enough COD
>d-pad is shitty

But besides this yeah it was probably the best controller.

no, THIS is all you need to play video games
