What's your go-to retro-gaming controller?

>>11991182 (OP)
I got a sn30 pro and a ultimate 2c.

Both are great, usually use the 2C for PS1 and beyond and the sn30 for everything before

Ol' Faithful

Steam Controller

>>11991182 (OP)
I wanna say my stick, but I'm often too lazy to hook it up, so probably the dualshock 4

>>11991182 (OP)
The one that works best for what I'm playing

>>11991182 (OP)
Depends on the game, but Sega Saturn controllers fit the games I play most.

>>11991182 (OP)
Xbox 360 controller remains the GOAT for 3D. If it's a 2D game, nothing is better than a keyboard.

>>11991295
>If it's a 2D game, nothing is better than a keyboard
It depends on the system/game
Keyboard is the best for 4th gen and all retro handhelds. It's also great for Genesis and PC Engine games, but for most SNES games I prefer a controller
Keyboards are also really, really good for classic Resident Evil

>>11991321
>for 4th gen
I meant 3rd gen

>>11991292
Those are cute. Where do I get some like them?

>>11991292
Do you keep a stockpile of all this shit or do you resell?

>>11991336
They started making them again and can be found on amazon. The white/orange one came with Puyo Puyo Fever. I did see some at Microcenter as well.

>>11991340
I had a Saturn in its day, and the controller suits my hands perfectly. Given my execution and muscle memory is tuned to the controller, I was bound to wear out the controller, so I at the time I had to get spares thinking they may no longer be around for me.

>>11991198

>>11991182 (OP)
Usually the most recent xbone controller.
I like the clicky round d-pad.
I have adapters for ps1/2 / saturn controllers but I'd rather just play those on real hardware and use the xbone for emulation.

>>11991498
Reasonable.

>>11991498
Reasonable. I've never seen this brand before. What's your take on Retrobit vs 8bitdo controllers? Are these Japanese Retrobits? They're licensed and look like them.

>>11991182 (OP)
The one in bottom left

Plus NES pads for anything that only requires 2-4 buttons

>>11991528
It was a conclusion made after trying alternatives, which were serviceable, but ultimately I just prefer the D-pad feel of the Saturn controller. While closest was the Ascii Pad FT for Third Strike (which I'd actually want specifically for the SF3 games over a stock Saturn pad) as it seems "faster" for the parries in the game, but all else not as comfortable to many other games.

>>11991653
I did save up to get one Retrobit version in clear blue from Microcenter, and I think it is pretty close to the real thing. In a blind test, I'd say I might not be able to tell. As for 8bitdo, I have yet to try one of them. The ones I have that are USB or PS2 are from SLS which I think was a Sega subsidiary that manufactures in China.

Are there any controllers that have the neogeo pocket's clicky control stick thing? There's the pdp versus fightpad which I plan to get and that snk thing from 8bitdo which I heard was shit.

>>11991676
The bottom left. Is it as fragile as people say it is?

best controller, unless you need an analog stick, then Dualsense because its less loud then an xbox one controller and the DS4Windows software is powerful, touchpad is good and microphone is too.

8bit do m30 and pro2 is all i need

>>11991506
submarine guy used a wireless one

>both sticks on my GC controller have bad drift
Is this fixable? If not I might just scrap the controller and use the buttons for my GC Ultimate.

>>11992008
Also I don't have the console anymore so it could just be my adapter fucking shit up.

>>11991754
the M30 actually looks very comfy for gen 4 and earlier

>>11991182 (OP)
The Wii U pro controller is my compromise controller, the one I always have on my desk because it's good enough for both retro and modern games. The layout looks sub-optimal, but actually using it, it feels natural no matter what game.
I plug in one of these if I know I'll be playing 2D games.

i think the snes is my go to...if i had one ._.

>>11992083
Oh shit, they make 8 button versions now? I had one of the 6 button ones, but it annoyed me that I couldn't use it for some gen 5 games that used more buttons than that. 8 buttons solves that problem.

For me, it's the M30 with the 8bitdo D-Pad swapped with a genuine one from an OEM 6-button Genesis pad. For 3D stuff, Gamecube controller if it has enough buttons for the game being played, and DualShock 3 if not.

>>11991187
Is the d-pad on the 2c as bad as people say?

>>11992245
nta but i have one and i like the d-pad. before purchasing it i did some research and most people seemed to like the d-pad, including some yt fags who played fighting games with it

>>11991754
they really gotta update that to 1000hz polling

>>11991703
Wish they still made controllers like this. I know 8bitdo has a Neo Geo one but it needed two more face buttons really, even if it wouldn't be accurate

I got an 8BitDo SN30 Pro (wired), and it suits me well.

>>11992612
My only problem is how plain and homely it looks. It used to look like pic related until Nintendo made them change it.

I have a genuine Saturn model 2 but I actually like the Dpad in the M30 more. It feels slightly less mushy, so double forward/back inputs feel more precise.

>>11991703
>The bottom left. Is it as fragile as people say it is?
yes and no.
if you force it too much, you will break it.
but on the bright side, if you have a 3d printer it is very easy to repair. i've disassembled it a couple times to adjust one of the buttons that came with a factory defect, nothing serious though.
mine is still good with its original parts.

>>11991198
I love that stubby little bastard. Submarine guy probably accidentally pushed the xinput/directinput switch on the back and fucked the stick directions

>>11992720
Yeah but the pivot... there's so much less of a pivot on the 8bitdo

>>11991198
I wish Logitech would make a revision that fixes all the drawbacks. Fragile bumpers with unreliable contacts, awfully stiff triggers with uncomfortable placement/shape, and newer ones past 2015 have a built-in massive deadzone in the analog sticks that you can't turn off. Hopefully they've stopped doing that last one but even if they did it's luck of the draw which revision you'd get. Yeah people complain about the dpad having no pivot, I personally don't mind.

got one of these for anything that doesn't require sticks, and a ds4 otherwise

>>11991182 (OP)
Anything similar to a dual shock. I have a saturn style for 6 face button games and an nes style for 2 button games, even has shoulder buttons for gba. They're all just ok. I bought an 8bitdo ultimate and I'm pretty disappointed with it, only had it like a month and the face buttons are starting to stick, especially the a button. It's not dirt or grime, it feels like I've worn grooves either in the buttons or the holes. Feels cheap, has little spaces etched in the back for grip I'm assuming. Sticks are smooth at least and it was only $50 for a wireless with a dock(who uses a fucking dock though, there's a charging port on the controller). It has 2 programmbale buttons on the back but youbhave to download and run a seperate program to be able to use them. It does work well enough most of the time. Bought it for dreamcast , xbox and modern games but I don't think it'll last, I have a $25 360 knock off I like better honestly that I've had for a couple years. Works good enough for thps2 and mvc2

ps3

>>11991754
Must be good to play fight games

>>11992901
You have to use so much force to actually push the Dpad in on the M30 that I don't notice the lack of a hard pivot in real usage. The 'soft pivot' is good enough.

>>11991703
>The bottom left. Is it as fragile as people say it is?
No. It's more fragile. Few people get to experience how fragile they are because most of them are already broken.

>>11991182 (OP)

I would never recommend a modern first party controller because it will inevitably develop drift

Hey, you bitch ass faggot: 8BitDo M30, smash or pass? Is it good or should I dodge? I'm thinking about getting the Xgoy edition.

>>11994214
Pass. Get the Retro-Bit Genesis 8-Button Wireless instead. NOT the Saturn one. For some reason their Genesis controllers are way the fuck better than their Saturn ones. Nearly perfect. And it has shoulder buttons so no disadvantage at all.
Avoid 8bitdo, mainly because the dpad barely has a pivot.

>>11994463
keyboard envy?

Got a Hyperkin X91 secondhand and it works amazingly well for my steam library (most of which are ports of older games). Haven't tried with emulation, but I think it would work fine

>>11992612
>>11992620
>Report any 8bitdoodoo post

>>11992612
A mountain of great MAME games just aren't as nice to play without one or both sticks. Not a knock on everyone else's weapon of choice, but the sticks should be standard fare in my humble opinion.

>>11991754
I'm considering that one because I want something with a dpad instead of an analog on that place, but my last experience with a 8 bit do controller are giving me a bad feeling.

>>11994135

>Retro-Bit Genesis 8-Button Wireless instead
Word. Thank you for the heads up.

>>11991703
The main body of the PDP controller is made of the kind of plastic that turns into glue. I have it separated from everything else just because it feels so gross. Imagine plastic covered in syrup. No amount of alcohol cleaning removes the feeling from the PDP controller.

>>11995316
I got them around the 10th anniversary of the Sega Saturn. I think they have since licensed 8bitdo and retrobit to make new ones since they aren't in the hardware business anymore.

>>11991182 (OP)
Is it just me or it's better to forget handhelds and just buy a decent tablet and controller, and whenever you get an itch to play, you just whip them out no problem. Also, what are your gentlemen's thoughts on the SNK controller by 8do?

>>11995604
>buy a decent tablet
That's incredibly homosexual, I stopped reading there.

Never seen this one mentioned on /vr/ but it's actually really good

>>11991182 (OP)
pic related is very good despite the meme paintjob.

>>11995935
imma be needin da make n model, sir.


>>11991703
These are great to play with. Would never have beaten Spelunky without it. That said, the switches used (same for D-pad & buttons) are not of the best quality and will eventually break, it seems. So get at least two copies when you buy it.
I might eventually be making a replacement PCB, as I think the PDP Versus is one of the very best controllers I've ever used.

Don't miss that there's also the 8bitdo wireless NGCD pad, which seems quite good. Check the response time here: https://rpubs.com/misteraddons/inputlatency

There's also the option of getting the version of the NGCD pad which they made for PS2.It's clicky and has 6 buttons. But all copies of that which could find are quite expensive (120+ USD).

That dpad looks like dick fungus

>>11995956
Really solid controller
I'm glad Madcatz was expecting WWE All Stars to be huge or whatever, because they made a ton of these things, and they are still fairly cheap brand new.

>>11996556
It's great, but also comes with a replacement cross one for fags like you

Any of you use the Deck with these controllers? How is it?

>>11996010
>Check the response time here
>wireless is more responsive than usb
wtf?!

>>11991182 (OP)
I mostly play on my tablet nowadays, so my IPEGA PG9083s, it's a comfortable setup.

>>11992245
I have no had any issues with it playing platformers and other action games.

I don't play fighting games with a pad though, I use an arcade stick, no idea if it's any good for that.

>>11996625
>replacement cross for people who don't like shit famiclones

>>11991703
8shitdo snk is the closest and it has shit deadzones.

>>11997926
Would you happen to know if any of those telescopic controllers are good for fighting games. My ipega and okay for platformers but suck for action platformer and fighting games.

>>11997935
hey man why don't you kill yourself, you filtered retarded loser pleb

i like using the controller that belongs to the system i'm playing. i don't however have a pc engine controller, so i use the nes pad for that (emulating on my wii). sometimes i'll also use the genesis 6 button pad for snes stuff if i already have it plugged into my wii, rather than unhook it and grab the snes pad out of the drawer.

>>11998214
>I-I played a shit ton of famiclones and plug n plays with this shit dpad! That means your [Beats his dik to mei laeh] filtered!
Plug n play bros are not sending their best. Why the two chinks try to appease your iek will forever be a mystery.

Reposting a PSA I made on /v/:

I bought a bunch of Sega-style controllers recently. I think it's important, if you're also an autistic person who will buy a controller specifically for 2D games like shmups and fighters, for you to know that both the 8bitdo M30 and the Retro-Bit Sega Saturn controllers fucking suck. They suck fucking dick. People say good things about them but they're wrong. They fucking suck. The 8bitdo has almost no pivot and the Retro-Bit Saturn is mushy as shit.
The ONLY good one is the Retro-Bit Sega Genesis controller. It's genuinely excellent. The GENESIS one, NOT the Saturn. Both the wireless and wired versions are fine (but make sure it's the 8-button version if you want shoulder buttons). No one talks about it, but it's basically perfect in every way. The dpad has a nice tactile feeling while also rolling easily. No chance of misinputs. It also has shoulder buttons so there's literally no reason to not get it over their terrible Saturn controller. GET THE GENESIS CONTROLLER, THIS IS YOUR WARNING.

>>11998261
What the fuck are you even talking about you fucking schizo. I don't know or recognize a single thing you've mentioned

>>11992969
It's amazing how Sony actually managed to make the dualshock worse

the one made for the console i'm playing

>>11991182 (OP)
Yes

>>11998581
Ive used ds4 and dualsense and the shape of the latter is wayyyy better

>>11991703
Where does one buy such a pad? Referring to your picrel.
>>11991676
Nice collection, any of these still sold new? Also, would you say 8bitdo is a bad brand? I'm looking for a pad with no sticks, just buttons and a dpad (though I'd prefer a joystick instead of a dpad)

>>11998317
The buttons on my retro-bit are less mushy than my original Saturn controllers. The analog sticks on the analog one could be way better though. And I can confirm that they STILL don't work for Virtual-On, though they did fix the firmware for all the 3D Pad/Steering Wheel games.

Looking for minimalist, general purpose (not just for fighting games) controller, has to be compatible with windows. Please help.

>>11998638
Retro-Bit Sega Genesis 8-Button Arcade Pad if you just wanna play 2D games.
For 3D games, either Gulikit Elves 2 or ES/ES Pro depending on whether you'll play 2D or 3D more. Or wait for the TT Pro/Max. I've also heard good things about the 8bitdo Pro 3 but I'm skeptical of them as a company.

>>11997649
Did you mean the other way around...?
Sure, some shitty code in the MCU that drives the controller and its responses can be slower than really good code driving the controller with its wireless responses.
It's a rare match-up, but it happens.


>>11998627
ebay is basically the only way at this time...

>>11998646
>Retro-Bit Sega Genesis 8-Button Arcade Pad
nice, is the wireless reliable? one amazon review mention loss of connection with the sensor, not sure what that means.

I'm getting this in a few days, I hope it lives up to the hype.

>>11998317
thanks anon. I got the 'M30 wired xbox' controller, and i really like it. But i took your advice and just bought a Retro-Bit Genesis controller, ill give it a try.

>>11998317
I can only find this 'Mega Drive' version where I live. Is it the same as the Genesis one you think?

>>11999159
Yes, anon. Mega Drive is the console's real name, Genesis is just a rebrand they came up with in the US to avoid copyright issues with some other company that had a product called a mega drive

>>11999131
does it work with windows or is it specifically for xbox? Sorry if question is retarded

>>11999125
Can't be any smaller than the actual Saturn pad.
I wish these companies used the 3D Saturn controller as a base instead of the standard one.

>>11998317
What are your thoughts on the SNK 8bitdo clicky stick my based autist?

>>11999186
Every Xbox controller works natively with Windows unless you're running XP or Vista or something.

>>11999074
Ah, the same thing happens with Switch Pro controller iirc. They write and test the code for wireless and the wired communication is more like an afterthought.

Seeing how a frame in 60Hz is 16.7ms, the response times for these are really good. As I'm currently playing with a Wii U Pro Controller (check it) these numbers are magical.

>>11992969
>Sterling silver
Based and same

>>11999186
works with windows, there is even software to configure the controller in various ways and remap the keys, but i found that software to be usesless as there are arbitrary restrictions on what keys you can map to which button.

>>11999165
i knew that, i was just asking because the mega driver version of the retro-bit has a red start button, so idk what else might be different about it, >>11998317 was super specific as to which one to get

>>11998962
The wireless seems good from my experience

could never have figured it out, i have one of those right beside me as i'm playing some wii u games on an actual wii u.
the adapter i have to use it on pc is way better than the ones listed, though.
i have a brook ps2 converter, it supports wii u pro and can be used on pc as an xinput controller. dunno how to test it to add it to the list.

>>11999554

>>11998317
This makes it sound like you haven't actually used any of these controllers in practice and just shoved your thumb into the Dpad as hard as you can because some retard made you paranoid about "muh pivot". The M30 Dpad is good, anyone who's actually put its through its paces in combo trials can attest to this, meanwhile your Retroshit Dpad is going to fall off in 6 months.

>>12000384
I used the Saturn controller to play Touhou 6, Genesis controller to clear Touhou 7, 8bitdo to play a little Crash Bandicoot and about 30 exits of Super Mario World. In SMW btw I often got accidental crouch inputs which didn't happen with the Genesis controller.

>>11991182 (OP)
I forgot the original SNES pads had those shitty concave X/Y buttons. 8bitdo fixed this inconsistency for the SN30 but not for the M30, and so we are denied the ultimate 2D controller.

>>11998317
>>12000384
Retrobit Saturn is better than M30, not sure what you're on. M30's d-pad misinputs all the time.

>>12000550
he probably had the first release retro bit. they've improved it with later revisions

>>11991198
your controller is shit!

>>11998317
I have all three of these and the Genesis one felt the worst out of the box, 8bitdo felt the best, and Saturn felt mushy like you said. It has something to do with the way the D-Pads are manufactured. Both the RetroBit and 8bitdo are compatible with OEM Genesis D-Pads, so I threw them in from my controllers from back in the day and they feel fucking fantastic. The D-Pad swap elevates the M30 beyond the RetroBit one, because the shoulder buttons on the RetroBit fucking suck (despite having a nice tactile click, if your finger slips off their sweet spot, it won't register the input).

On your image it says is good (4ms)

8bitdo m30 xbox version, the triggers are goofy but it has native xinput with all the buttons including start/back. unlike the original m30, good for modern stuff.
Anything retro nothing beats the oem controller

>>12003667
Original M30 has Xinput, Dinput, a Switch mode and a Mac mode

>>12004049
yes but has a goofy layout cuz missing shoulder buttons

>>12003640
oh right.
the logitech dual action has numbers instead of letters.

All I got but it gets the job done

>>11992962
I love the dpad but the buttons feel so heavy to press. It's more annoying in games where you have to quickly switch between buttons often somehow, which makes it quite bad for its main intended target of fighting games

I just picked up an 8 button genesis retro-bit controller.
I now have an 8bitdo-xbox-m30, a retro-bit saturn and a retro-bit genesis.
I dont know how different the original 8bitdo-m30 is from the xboxm30 version, as i never had the original one.

8BD-Xbox-m30:
- The tactile feeling of some diagonals feel different from others, the top diagonals have sort of a click/snap to them, but the bottom diagonals barely do, so it feels sort of inconsistent. but because its a bit harder to push bottom diagonals compared to top diagonals.
- i have trouble hitting the top right diagonal because it requires a more deliberate press
- start button is in an uncomfortable position, and its also very small and doesnt stick out enough
- has two additional shoulder buttons, a select button, an extra xbox guide button, detachable/replaceable usb cable

RB-Genesis:
-the shoulder buttons are not in a comfortable position to keep your fingers on them all the time, unlike the xbox-m30
- shoulder buttons are loud as fuck, and in a position thats not comfortable to keep your fingers on when not pressing the buttons
- controller overall has a less comfortable shape

I cant tell which dpad i prefer, theyre different but i think im biased towards the m30 to acknowledge the genesis is mildly better, but im not sure.

the retrobit-saturn has horrible shoulder buttons, the shape is just so bad and theyre mushy as hell
and the dpad feels loose and bad, i will never use it again, I might aswell throw it in the trash.

btw everything i wrote in that long post was based on me staring at an input viewer while using them.
I just used both of them while playing Darius Twin, and playing that game neither dpad better then the other

The shoulder buttons are good. So is the d-pad. I swear some of you people have no idea what you're talking about.

>>12004649
why did you buy so many controllers at once lol

Series X controller

>>12004651
was trying to find a controller with the ultimate dpad, and have lots of money and love buying shit

>>12004650
we all have different preferences i guess. Totally possible that a majority of people will disagree with everything i said about those controllers, and think im an idiot. so i hope people who read my review realize that lol

>>12004659
> and have lots of money and love buying shit
based, have you found a controller that you'd rec over the OEM saturn controllers?

>>12004661
ive never used an OEM saturn controller (i probably dont belong on this board and shouldnt be considered knowledgeable and my opinions are usually dogshit)
but personally i prefer the xboxedition-m30 because its most comfortable for my tiny hands and like the additional buttons and that it can detach the usb cable so i can use a less stiff and less long cable.
I think the 8 button genesis controller is probably objectively better but i just dont like it.

>>12004667
also because the usb-c cable is detachable on the m30 i can easily switch it out with my dualsense, my controller of choice for whenever i need analog sticks or triggers.

Based. Don't let the controller marketers give you any shit mate.

I use wired controllers because im scared of wireless signals

The other Anon who owns all three here. Seconding this. I never used an OEM Saturn controller, but I did grow up with the Sega Genesis arcade pad the Retrobit and M30 are based on. Neither feels like an OEM controller out of the box. The Retrobit Genesis D-Pad feels too hard and mine had no pivot, but I bought it years ago and I hear they've fixed it since then. The shape and feel in the hands is the same, but the D-Pad and button feel isn't great. The M30 felt great out of the box, but the D-Pad was a little more stiff than OEM and depressed a bit more if you push into the middle (my OEM controllers do that too, but it takes more force than you're likely to use during gameplay). I swapped OEM D-Pads into both of them and now the only issues I have is the shoulder buttons on the RetroBit not registering unless you hit their sweet spot, which sucks for games where you might need to hold a shoulder button because it will just randomly stop registering sometimes. The M30 has better build quality and features, is pretty good out of the box, and is top tier with the D-Pad swap. If you don't have OEM controllers for donor D-Pads, I'd imagine getting "for parts" ones on eBay would be pretty cheap.

A DS4 but I also have some chink NES and SNES usb pads

>For "playstation"

>>12004483
I got a few knockoff PS2 to USB pads, a few PS3 controllers, a bunch of PS2 and PS1 controllers. They are great and I only like the Duke more than dualshock design.

>>12004758
Sure. I would probably make my own PCB with a GP2040 in it. Or buy an adapter.

It's the only 6 button clicky pad controller next to the PDP versus. But that one has a bunch of other problems, as detailed above.

>>11997926
Worst controller I have ever used in my life. Fuck iPega

Any good controller with PS layout? I already have ds4 and dualshock, I prefer ds4, thinking of getting DS3. I need it for mobile gaming.

>>12005342
>Dualshock
Dualsense*

>>12005342
>>12005352
sounds like you already have multiple good controllers with the ps layout

>the shoulder buttons on the RetroBit not registering unless you hit their sweet spot
must be some manufacturing differences, my retrobit genesis will register the shoulder buttons now matter how you click it, cant get it not to register unless im literally not pressing it

Gamesir Tarantula

>>12005523
I will never buy anything named gamesir no matter how good it is.

>>11992612
BEWARE OF THE WIRELESS VERSION OF THIS ONE. IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT.

>>12005719
