>made a controller thread earlier
>had a look at the reccomendations
I think I will try 8bitgo USB Stick first since it's cheap but if I am still not happy with the Dualsense I will feel I will like the Gamesaar G7 the best.

wow, xbox branded gamesaar

>>723817523 (OP)
G7 is great, but so it should be its almost the same cost as a Microsuck one

Is there any need for anything else?

dualsense is still the best controller.
if you get drift you can fix it with this https://dualshock-tools.github.io

>>723817752
Maybe I will do the SUper Nova in the end. I don't know if it's worth it if I will only be on PC.

>>723817901
Yeah, the better looking one that cost the same

>>723817942
I fixed the drift, but I can't deal anymore with DS4win and profiles for different games and then the wireless is broken while wired works mostly and then Steam Input things.
I want plug and play. I wish there were more Dualshock shaped aftermarket controllers for PC.
>used to have the Logitech Titanic Submarine controller but it felt cheap and not fun.

>>723817942
dualsense sucks. i can't bind the playstation button to open windows game bar like i can on literally all my other xbox knock off controllers. playstation and pc is a myth.

>>723817901
I don't get why they used mechanical shoulder buttons.

>>723817901
>>723818097
I am hesitating because of the square shape. How does it feel in the hands.

>>723818198
i use a ds4 on linux, works like a charm

>>723818198
>>723818167
you guys sound like nvidia driver issue retards running broken windows

>>723817901
That d-pad is dogshit, shills made me think it was the same as the Vita's.
>>723818220
It feels like shit because it has vertical grips like most of their controllers.

>>723818220
It literally similar to the Switch pro controller

>>723818516
Yes, I don't play homosexual consoles like Switch or Deck.

>>723818198
>windows game bar
Who even uses that?

>>723818632
literally everyone i know who uses a pc with a tv and controller. it's the easiest way to change volume and capture clips on controller. it also has a spotify widget which is convenient.

>>723818417
>linux
>works

>>723818775
>literally everyone i know who uses a pc with a tv
So no one.
>spotify
lmao

>>723818853
you sound stupid enough to buy a console

>>723818621
How's the Deck relevant here. It's not a console by the way.

I have this and the more expensive pro2 and I feel the top extra buttons are superior.
Which this thing I can finally play artificer in ror2

Dpad isn't as good as my ps1 but I can still scrub people out with preecha and her dogshit jabs in cotw and fraud people out with hol horse in jjban

>>723818775
Steam big picture is better. It also works on Linux so you don't have to deal with wangblows.

>>723817942

fuck you sony

>>723817523 (OP)
What do you guys think of controllers that replace the membrane buttons with clicky mice switches? I don't think I've seen any posted in these threads. I know BattleBeaver makes customs for those, but can be pricey.

why do consolefags like to pretend that pic related doesnt exists

>>723819127
you have to import games into steam for it to work and it doesn't have the same functionality as game bar anyway

>>723818775
>gay bar
removed that shit permanently
Your tulpas are not real.

>>723819250
>What do you guys think of controllers that replace the membrane buttons with clicky mice switches?
They're low quality garbage, but redditards love the way they sound so now almost all third party controllers use them.

>>723819250
It's not my preference, but on most buttons it doesn't really matter to me either.
Clicky d-pads can be a love-hate thing. They're typically accurate, but with how hard you need to press for diagonals you'll probably dislike them if you aren't willing to adjust.

>have PS2 controllers from 25 years ago
>they've been through dust, dirt, getting tossed around, and sitting in a box not being used for decades

>>723819715
Usually, yes, but I was looking for something more specific.

>>723820147
Planned obsolescence. Same with cars. And phones. And appliances. And PC parts. And...

>>723819736
can't relate
I'd rather have a saturn d-pad, but I'll take "bad" mech d-pads over most membrane

>>723820148
*I feel I will like it the best
I said.

>>723820305
Oh my mistake. Buy a fucking ad

>>723820217
That makes sense. I know about that with phones and everything else, but I didn't apply it to controllers, for some reason.

>>723820417
It applies to almost anything you could name now, unfortunately

anyone tried pic related?
how does it feel in your hands?

>>723817523 (OP)
>I will feel I will like the Gamesaar G7 the best
It is.

>>723819614
Presumably cutting corners on sensor durability. No idea what sticks were rated for back then, but ALPS sticks used in the last two generations are rated to last maybe 200-600 hours of use, so I don't think it's purely QC.

>>723819284
I recently bought one of these and the mousepad has to be the worst thing I ever experienced

I ordered this the other day without knowing much about controllers, how badly did I fuck up?

>>723824059
Sorry dude it's over
Better make peace with god while you still can

>>723820253
>saturn d-pad
I added one to my xbox 360 pad, from one of the worst to one of the best. Although I still wonder how so many people know about them, its not like the saturn sold that well.

>>723824059
It uses potentiometers, so it's garbage.

>>723817901
How hard is it to swap in good sticks?

>>723818969
Yes. Linux has no skilled developers actually trying to make it work as anything other than an OS pride parade for faggots to say WE'RE HERE, MY OS IS QUEER, GET USED TO IT

It's ok though bro, I know you'd be playing a game if your shitty OS wasn't the OS equivalent of a schizophrenia patient with multiple personalities, all of them homosexual.

>>723820872
I have the previous model. Similar size and I believe slightly heavier weight than the Series controller. Thick plastic. Feels pretty good, but the back button shape and placement is awkward and can get in the way of your grip.

>>723824059
Basically modern Madcatz. They come with a 2 year warranty at least.

>>723824973
fucking madcatz

>>723825406
>let me guess, you need more

>>723818487
Only fightan poorfags care about that shit since they can't afford a fightan stick, overall it's pretty good thobeit.

What's this 8bitgo USB stick and why is it better than regular Windows controller support?

Hall effect/tmr is a meme btw. It's less precise and supposed longevity is exaggerated especially when you can buy replacement sticks for cheap

>>723824059
lmao you bought garbage

>>723817523 (OP)
get the cyclone 2 instead

>>723830492

Why don't you just get an xbox controller like a normal person?

>dualsense died today

Less than a fucking year, I've seriously had it with how crap quality things are built now when I don't even throw my stuff.

>>723831203
>Why don't you just get an xbox controller like a normal person?
this is such a stupid take, there are so much better options for your money.

>>723824059
Haha, it's a good controller, sir.

>>723831203
>Why don't you just get a controller that can't aim like a normal person?

>>723832684
It aims perfectly though.

>>723817523 (OP)
Pacman Controller

>>723832724
It doesn't. You may be confusing the develepor sanctioned aimbot that's in all console shooters called aim assist for your own aiming. I understand. It's an easy mistake to make for someone who's dumb enough to be fooled to use consoles. It's not your own aiming though, because sticks are inherently bad for aiming.

what does the fact that all controllers suck shit at aiming have anything to do w/ xbox controllers specifically sucking shit at aiming.

>>723818775
Holy niggercattle. Expected of a gamepad user desu, the white man uses M+KB exclusively.

>>723833516
because all controllers do not suck at aiming, and you attempting to maintain that fact just reinforces that you have no idea what you are talking about.

>>723834864
>I have a lot of trouble being precise with them
Hall effect sticks are garbage. TMR sticks are way better.

>>723834987
>Hall effect
>TMR
I have seen "hall effect" thrown around here a lot but I have no idea what the hell either of these mean
pls explain

>>723833516
>all controllers suck shit at aiming
False. Only those without gyro do. And since everything from cheap chinkshit to nintendo and sonys first party controllers have gyro, and have for like a decade, it does kind of single out xbox.

>>723834864
>I have a lot of trouble being precise with them
Aside from Ultimate 2, 8Bitdo consistently picks some of the shittiest sticks possible.

>>723835129
Two different scientific principles, both utilizing magnets for frictionless sensors.

unironically does.
managed to use my Gamecube controller adapter natively with no installations or tweaking. works straight out of the box.
you have to install some specific program and drivers for windows

mentioned this morning but preordered this 6 button dual joystick controller.
looks like its just 2 shoulder buttons however sadly.

one day we'll get a perfect controller for emulation.

>Dualsense
Wish it had a better d-pad and battery, great otherwise.
>Switch Pro
D-pad and latency ruin it for me.
>Xbox
Better d-pad than the other two, but no gyro or touchpad blows for some games, and it only has basic rumble.
>Atari
Never used or so much as heard anyone talk about this. I'd probably put some tape in a plus shape on that d-pad so there's some more texture than just four bumps on the edges.

>>723836971
Gyro and touchpads are the most gay and useless features.

>>723834651
my friend just bought this...

>>723817523 (OP)
The original G7 was mediocre, but the G7 Pro has been fantastic. Would highly recommend.

>>723837408
So true, xister! I also like my games to play themselves. I mean, who would want to actually aim in a shooter game?

>>723818775
Game Bar is terrible. It's extremely cluttered, its screenshot feature is so much worse than Shadowplay and doesn't separate games to individual folders but instead slaps it into a general "Capture" folder (Unless they changed this recently), it's not exactly fast to open compared to other overlays, and it just feels worse to use in general. I have no idea why you would unironically use it compared to Shadowplay or OBS if you don't use an Nvidia card. I had to deal with it for Cuphead and then tried it again for Taiko no Tatsujin and vowed to never use it again it was so bad.

>>723838916
it's not cluttered at all. it barely takes up any space. i have the recording and sound widgets enabled at the moment and nothing else.

I'm finally noticing a tiny bit of stick drift on my old wired 360 pad I use on my PC, I'm probably going to buy some sub-$20 wired 360-like pad to replace it and just hope for the best.

More specifically?

I don't really like the disc shaped or sega-style d-pads. Why are there not more normal d-pad controllers that are high quality and where the dpad is in the primary position? I can only find 8BitDo

>>723838916
I fucking hate Gamebar. At some point I removed some spybloat from W10 and could not get this shit back to full functionality. Which is fine by me since I easily found other ways you can activate HDR with a hotkey.

>>723844472
Those triggers were inexcusablely shit.
There's a reason why most most shooters used L1/R1 for aiming and firing while Xbox was using the triggers.

Xbox controller but a little worse. Everything feels good on it but the hole thing feels a little hollow. It'll do.

>PS5 0/10
Worst controller I've used besides madcatz. It may as well be a premium madcatz controller.
Buttons are ok. Dpad feels worse then every other ps controller. Triggers feels oddly mushy. Analogs feel worse then the above two. Whole controller just feels uncomfortable. Massive downgrade from even the PS4.

This is a real thing? Might get one out of sheer curiosity.

>>723846325
It's because of X-input. Can't have more buttons because of Microsoft. We'll never get the proper 6 button controller until Microsoft realizes how based it would be.

>>723817523 (OP)
This would unironically be that GOAT.
If it had a proper DPAD and not some circle shit.

>>723858170
It has two other swappable d-pads, one of them being a more normal cross shaped d-pad.

I bought the GuliKit ES Pro.
Pretty damn good so far. Not noticing any input lag on wireless 2.4GHz mode. Works a treat and has TMR sticks and Hall effect triggers. Has Gyro but lacks back buttons which is a shame but it's been pretty damn good. Lasts about 14 hours for me on a single charge.

Do Gamesaar controllers have better dpads than 8bitdo? I'm tired of getting accidental diagonals.

My steam controller still works.
Until it won't one day.
I put textures stickers on the pads too. They feel nicer.

I can't seem to find a knockoff Steam controller. Anybody know of some?

>>723859664
I think I can see why this controller failed hard lmao

>>723859476
funny you mention this because I have this controller but what I don't like is the dpad, it feels a bit mushy and I find difficult to make a diagonal

>>723859476
Wouldn't necessarily recommend Gamesir specifically for d-pad use, but accidental diagonals won't be a problem at least.

>>723859726
It is understandable to be honest.
I do appreciate that Valve tried to get creative and try something different.

Vader 4 pro is still the way to go.

>>723834987
TMR is better, but Hall is still perfectly fine. Both are massively better than potentiometer-based obsolete junk.

>>723836839
I'll try to get that later along with pic related.

>>723850946
A high quality, "normal" D-pad is a unicorn, you may as well be looking for premium Skub.
A D-pad is a cheap way to get a membrane to contact a PCB for directional inputs, which made it quite useful when making cheap one-and-done controllers for Game-and-Watch ewaste, portable devices and cheap pack-ins for consoles.
The fact that this exists to enable grid-based movement is completely fucking lost in modern 3D games where you never want to actually use grid based movement, because it is such a tremendously awful and limiting way to do things, so that winnows away every single D-pad on a 3D controller, because there is no reason to fine tune the cheap input method.
If you're looking at a dedicated 2D controller, then that's still not even the best way to do things, because if you're already looking for a premium solution you will almost immediately land on arcade controllers (with or without levers) or something that is actually ergonomic and doesn't need your thumb to do all of the work, since you aren't wasting 3 fingers on holding a controller.

The most you can ever hope for is a D-pad that is barely good enough, because that's what they were designed for.

>>723817942
>dies after 5 hours
it's shit, requires constant charging

I like the dualsense but mine came with a mushy cross button right out of the box. Kind of feels like shit to press compared to the other face buttons as it feels like it's already pressed halfway in. I just put up with it though. I wonder if it's a common problem but I'm not willing to try and buy another one yet to see.

>>723859664
It seems Valve is about to release an SC2 soonish. There was a leaked model for it in SteamVR and they're about to release a new VR headset (Steam Frame) so it'll probably release alongside that, like the SC1 released alongside the Steam Machines.

I'll get this one in December.

>>723818824
Linux is unironically better for controllers
Just werks

>>723817523 (OP)
Dualsense is the best controller if you want to get into gyro aim/flick stick.
If you want something like xbox controller but better built and with more features get Gamesir Cyclone 2.

They are literally giving this away at this price, only downside is wired, but thats why it has the lowest latency of any controller

>>723866865
I'm looking forward to its release in 2040.
I am reminded of the TF2 comics that released on a bi-monthly schedule from 2013-2024... all 7 of them.

>>723867568
It's genuinely coming pretty soon. Valve is pretty slow when it comes to games, but they're pretty fast with making hardware.

>>723819284
Those things are terrible. I wish a smaller version of this existed.

>>723819614

Microsoft gets all their controllers made in China, and 100% of them are defective as a result.
Stick drift will happen on every single official Xbox controller, regardless of model. The bumpers usually break too, and if you have an elite controller then the rubber on those will peel off. If you use the controller wired, then the port will also break.

It's been like this since at least the early Xbone days, and I am surprised people haven't started a class action against Microsoft because at this point everyone fucking knows they make controllers with dogshit quality that always break in the exact same ways.

>>723867523

Are you one of those retarded people that thinks 360 controllers were well made even though like half of them were defective when they were new

>>723870254

My xbox 360 controller still works, though the rubber on the sticks has peeled off.
I have never owned a single Xbone or Series X controller that lasted more than a year.

>>723870320
If you think some slow turning piece of crap that can also only fully depress the d-pad in two directions works then drifting controllers are all totally functional too.

I want to get the 8bitdo ultimate 2 but the buttons are still using silicone and i have big issues with it. Does it still get worn down fast?

>pretty much all the controllers now come with anemic 960 mAh shitty batteries lasting barely 12h, and less if vibrations.
>when we had a very simple solution since forever with glorious AA Eneloops
FUCKING WHY

>>723871069
Consumers are retarded and just mindlessly buy anything. The only third party controllers that uses AA batteries is the 8BitDo Pro 2, but the Pro 3 replaced it and now it uses an internal battery.

>>723868080
With the leaks for Deckard going on for years and everyone getting hyped for potential reveal dates that never happen, I'm not exactly super confident in them actually releasing anything anytime soon, even on the hardware front.

gonna get the 8bit one because dpad on my logitech sucks for platformers and the right trigger gets stuck from time to time WHAT WERE THEY THINKING

>>723859003
My problem with the ES Pro is there's noticeable deadzones on the triggers (both when actuating and bottoming out). Wish there were a way to get rid of that.

>>723817523 (OP)
Warning: I bought GameSir G7 Pro and the buttons sound like mouse clicks.
Loud mouse clicks.

>>723871069

>>723873031
Ah yes of course, I'll use a fucking cable between my PC that's already a few meters away from my TV, up to my comfy couch, like it's 1990. No, I'd rather use 5000 mAh of energy that fits just right in a nice swappable package, alien technology.

>>723866883
>$130 compared to Wuchang's $100.
It's so damn annoying because the Wuchang one looks terrible and I need something for my Series system that isn't wired and my choices are either Wuchang or the ZZZ one. I wish they'd make actual normal color ones so you can also use their faceplates because Wuchang's teal back doesn't work with any faceplate at all.

>>723873529
It's pricey for sure, but surely we'll get one of those -10 or -15% coupons for Xmas/new year sales, or Aliexpress' monthly coupons or some shit, on top of the resellers being a bit cheaper.

>>723873264
You are using a one-piece, plastic, handheld controller with 4 face buttons and a d-pad like it's 1990.
Either control your game elbow-deep in a wireless rectal exam dummy or get out.

There is? I haven't noticed it

>>723857551

>>723871786
The did just trademark the Steam Frame like a month back. That implies it's almost finished. I'd give it a good chance of being announced this year and if not, I don't see it taking longer than earlyish next year.

Pretty cool. Dualsense is definitely the best PC controller right now.
