What's /v/'s favourite controller in 2025?

my bitch wife who controls my life

>>718350978 (OP)
mouse and keyboard

>>718350978 (OP)
I like the ps4 one the most
shame the port on mine is fucked though

Way better than I expected for $24. If this is representative of Gulikit's quality going forward, Libra Max will be my endgame.

Dual Sense Edge

Still the DualShock 4 after I put 3rd-party stick covers on it just to give them a little more height.

They're asking 200+ euros for it, insane.

I really liked the PS5 controller then my toggle got stuck like a year deep and I decided I was biased and it was just decent

xbox one s controller it just werks
is the series x controller worth upgrading to for the dpad?

Gamesir G7

If it works, keep using it, but I like my Series X controller. I had one get stick drift after over 2 years of heavy play and am on a newer one, but I'm going to order 4 pots and replace them in both eventually.

I've already replaced the sticks 3 different times. That's $75+tax on 3 different times if I buy a normal dual sense controller. It sucks but it's honestly the best alternative rather than buying a brand new dualsense every 6-9 months but that's where we're at now it seems. They could just make'em with hall sticks but then they wouldn't get to be jews about selling more controllers/stick modules.

You can get a pair of good sticks for $10. Stepbro, what are you doing?

please do the needful and redeem the card to buy controller saars

I mostly use my 30th Anniversary DualSense Edge these days.

Damn, you chew through controllers like unemployed brother that games 20hrs a day... I've never had a stick on any of my systems go bad yet and he's on like Xbox controller #10.

switch 2 pro
good size
back paddles
amazing vibration

Drop the 0, sticks are dirt cheap if you aren't paying the Gulikit tax. Gulikit v1 sticks are also garbage and you have no assurance you're getting their good revision. Incidentally, Gulikit v3 is identical to Hallpi anyway.
But also Ginfull sticks are perfectly good and a fraction of the price, so there's no need to pay more unless you have a specific reason to do so.

just bought the 8bitdo ultimate 2c
what am I in for controllerbrehs

>>718359174
I've had the G7 SE for about a year now, and it's been pretty good. I've been tempted to get the G7 Pro.

>>718350978 (OP)
How difficult is it to get a DS3 working on Windows 10?

My 8bitdo Pro 3 arrived today and it's the best controller they've made.
TMR sticks
Swapable face buttons
Triggers that can switch between analog and digital
4 extra reprogrammable buttons
Makes 1st party controllers obsolete.

>>718359756
Just install DsHidMini and you're good to go. The pressure sensitive face buttons will even work in PCSX2. https://github.com/nefarius/DsHidMini

>>718359938
great, thanks

clicky and loud buttons (but I'm sensitive to noises, so they might sound normal to you), feels nice if you've got small hands.
the textured grip feels very weird and sticky if your hands get sweaty during playing, not a fan, but it's doable. in general I feel that my hands sweat a lot more while using a controller, compared to using mouse and keyboard
ive got times where it enters standby mode during playing, so it disconnects and I need to turn it on again, very annoying. increases a lot when battery is low

>>718359756
agree with the other anon with dshidmini
you can add non-steam games to steam and the controller usually works perfectly
some games are weird (specifically one of the trials games for me, can't recall which) and won't detect a ps3 controller normally, but if you change the playstation and xbox support settings in steam, it should solve any problems

>$200 for back buttons

I fucking love clicky buttons

>>718359296
It really all depends on what you play. When I first got my PS5, my controller was perfectly fine. Then MW3 came out and I played modern warfare zombies for like 2 months and immediately got stick drift. It really does depend on the games you play, which is why I'm kinda glad I stopped playing CoD, it would always give me awful stick drift, even going back to the PS3 days.

My Dualsense has suddenly developed some odd problems
>X became both X and the PS button. PS button does nothing. Cleaning the buttons didn't help.
>Instantly turns off when attempting to connect to PC over bluetooth. Works fine wired. Various things like unpairing and pairing again, disabling in device manager, and factory reset changed nothing.
Unsure if firmware things or if I need to take it apart.

I'd like the DS4 or Dualsense if the DPad was more clicky. Feels awful for playing retro platformers.

And before someone tells me about this controller mod, I've heard that it doesn't make the dpan feel "clicky" like the XBox SeX controller's Dpad
