It's beautiful but the problem is it's not the standard which means game devs don't design functionality for them. God damn it so many fucking games would LOVE having those 2 buttons, they would be perfect for things that only need occasional use

>quick select items
>open your map
>menu navigation
>flashlight
>using any type of special moves you don't perform that often
>sprint toggle
>weapons/ammo type toggle
>can easily press A and one of the bottom buttons at the same time with just your thumb, meaning you can jump and perform some other action simultaneously (X and the shoulders already do this but moves that you want to be able to perform while jumping are in very high demand)

Because Nintendo basically made everything about controllers standard and Microsoft/Sony are tech companies who only entered the console wars to act as parasites so they just copied Nintendo, I honestly don't think they've ever come up with any original ideas for anything. I think the only smart thing Sony ever did was their face buttons, they look better in my opinion

I don't think you understand.
He's asking if the extra buttons show up as assignable inputs in Steam Input.
Most PC-compatible game controllers just use XInput, which was specifically designed for the Xbox 360 controller, and only supports exactly as many inputs as the Xbox 360 controller. That means two sticks (with stick buttons), two triggers, two shoulder buttons, one d-pad, two menu buttons and four face buttons. And that's it. Even if a controller has more buttons than that, games can't see them. Those extra buttons can be assigned, either using the controller's own UI, or through third-party software, to mimic any of the XInput signals mentioned above, but they can't do anything more than that.

Some third-party controllers, however, support DirectInput, an older, more flexible and more complex standard, allowing those extra buttons to be detected and used by games and software, such as Steam Input. Some 8bitdo controllers, for example, let you assign the extra shoulder and paddle buttons in Steam Input, allowing for per-game customization. Some games even have fully native Steam Input support, allowing for those extra buttons to be assigned to functions in-game.
This is also what the Playstation DualSense controller does. It shows up as a DirectInput controller, and you can assign the touchpad inputs and such in games that natively support it, or abstract them through Steam Input. This also lets games tap into the onboard motion control sensors. Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers also show up in Steam Input, and allow their extra buttons and gyros to be used in-game.

Anyway, >>722909582 is asking if that particular controller supports any of this, or if those extra C and Z buttons are just macro buttons that cannot be assigned to anything in Steam Input.

The Xbox logo is the home button. The middle buttons are Select and Start, and the "Share" button takes screenshots by default, although it's not too tricky to reassign to to do other stuff.

I don't even fucking know, they changed the names when they made the xbone s controller and its been like that ever since. The series controller just amped up the retardation with the share button, all I know its neither start nor select and every single fucking time a game says press a symbol to open the map or whatever I press the wrong button. At least with the dualshock 4 it has the actual name of the buttons written on the controller instead of a symbol, why everyone decided to kill start/select I don't know but I fucking hate it.

But there was some racing game (probably gran turismo) where pressing it so hard it hurt actually helped. The spedometer did actually go higher when I pressed super hard. I don't remember many other games that used the analog feature, but I just avoided racing games on PS2 just in case

I think you might be retarded.
It's the View buttons on the left instead of Select, and the Menu button on the right instead of Start.
Aside from the share button being added for screenshots, it's the same as before.

I agree that replacing Start and Select was a bad idea, but Start and Back was also a bad idea.
If you could get used to Back instead of Select, it's really not that hard to remember View and Menu.

On the PS4/PS5, the Share/Create button is used to take screenshots and videos, and isn't picked up by games themselves. Multiplatform games on Playstation tend to just use the entire touchpad as the Select button

The plastic on those chinkpads that get paid shill threads daily looks like absolute shit. That contoller general they've got on a here and /vr/ has the same posts repeated so it's probably bots.
Who benefits from shilling on a website that at this point is like 90% shills and bots? Is the advertising company running a scam and counting posts in a thread as "social media mentions" or something.

It clearly delineated which was which though by having a start button in the correct position and by having simple arrow icons that were instantly understandable. You see the word start or an arrow pointing right you know its the button on the right, you see a word that doesn't say start that isn't any other button on the controller or an arrow pointing left you know its the not select back button. Literally nothing was gained by completely changing the names to random words that don't make any sense and esoteric symbols nobody would ever instinctively understand what they were and where they are on the controller by looking at them without forcing themselves to learn them. "press the two overlapping boxes button" showing up on a screen to force me to take my eyes off the game to look at which button I'm supposed to press is fucking retarded.
