Thread 12025126

it's my favorite so take care of it okay?

unironically bought this at a babbages for cheap
never used that fucker

that's a pretty good controller.

Secondaries don't know about cheating at fighting games.

Also available in six-button with 3 additional switches, and there's a prison clear option for that one.

Dick port

I'm down for some MK4 on the N64.

>>12025152
Best ports

>>12025126 (OP)
I still have this thing. I think I used it once and it's been in a drawer for the past 27 years or so.

>>12025181
>No No, take this one...

>>12025181
It's look good for JRPG and strategy games.

>>12025237
>dual-analog
But why?

>>12025246
because playstation lel

>>12025126 (OP)
This controller is very good. Analog stick doesn’t wear out (as quicn), extremely close range to official stick, same with deadzone.

>>12025126 (OP)
That was a such dogshit controller, is it true that it was supposed to be a left handed controller? That's what my cousin said when gave me this instead of the official controller.

This thing is fucking horrible to hold.

I actually purchased this way back when. I think I tried it for a day or two before having return it due to it being shit -- as far as I can remember.
Eventually I got the Steam Controller, and pretty much does what this wanted to, but without sucking as hard.

They had an interesting idea but that is a complete flub coming off the negcon.

>>12025326
>these tiny ass buttons
Looks like a torture device.

>>12025346
they stick high up too.
looks like a blistering waiting to happen

The X is a bitch to press as well because its cutout meets the curve of the controller housing so it often doesn't register inputs unless your thumb is really on the right hand side of the button. Triangle does this too but not as badly. The top edges of the controller (where L1 and R1 would normally be) are a hard 90 degrees so they dig into your hands. L2 and R2 are chibi buttons on the back that are annoying to reach. The controller is awful from every ergonomic perspective.

>>12025185
I had this controller as a kid. I found a screwdriver and took it apart but couldn't figure out how to put it back together so I threw it out. Kind of sucked anyway.

>>12025246
So you can ply the three games that use d-pad and joystick.

trade ya'

>>12025461
I knew someone who had this for the Genesis back in the day. Despite being touch sensitive you'd still instinctively push it so that you'd feel tactile feedback, which would never happen. So after like 20 minutes of gaming your thumb would be sore and tired from just naturally pushing the dpad as hard as possible constantly.

>>12025126 (OP)
I actually preferred this to the official controller

as long it's clean i can play on any controller. and when i lose, of course, i'm gonna blame the piece of junk.

I wish I had enough money to waste on weird forgotten controllers

>>12025657
Those are all cheap; only good and/or well-remembered controllers are expensive.

here you go

>>12025130
only really usable 6 button I've ever seen.

>>12025792
the grip on the handle is pretty good but you're expected to like keyboard the buttons with your other hand while playing streetfighter 2.

I never had anyone to fight in SF2 so never had a reason to learn how to play with it

>>12025181
Wiimote if it was a usable controller.

>>12025821
>you're expected to like keyboard the buttons with your other hand while playing streetfighter 2.
Yes. Literally how the developers intended SF2 to be played. See the arcade machine.
>I never had anyone to fight in SF2 so never had a reason to learn how to play with it
Have you been locked in a basement your entire life?

Here, use this

>>12025996
I was going to tell you a story but frick it
The glowies dont need to know everything about my life and psyche!

>>12025710
Just wait till I master it and I will ascend to something beyond understanding. You ever been hit by the six-shift combo?

>>12026341
They didn't even try with this one.

>>12025149
I found one of these at a thrift store when I was a teenager. It was my only usb controller for a long time.
I played through OoT multiple times with this fucking thing. (That's a d-pad, not an analog stick.)

>>12025149
this would unironically be pretty good if the handles were taken off.

I laugh but the complete lack of standardization back then meant stuff like this could exist. Now every third party controller is just eiher the PS or Xbox configuration.

>>12025413
you could still do that with the original controller, that's why it has 3 handles.

>>12025327

I don't think I've ever met someone who actually used one. Did it work at all?

>>12026584
FUCK ergonomics.

>>12026341
what is the purpose of this one?
looks like something you would use to control a camera or robot.

>>12026653
I think it's more that we kinda just figured out over the decades what more or less "works" as a controller setup. The only other real option is an arcade stick.

>>12026761
It is still bullshit how more than 4 face buttons - or at least back buttons never caught on in controllers with a sensible shape once we moved to 3d.

>>12025126 (OP)
thought that was a gamecube controller teebeeaich

>>12025149
>ps3prototype.exe

>>12025126 (OP)
it was fine

My friend had this, and I was always intrigued by it. Never played any racing games at his place though, so I have no idea if it's good or not.

>>12025710
I got a stickeykeys notification just by looking at this.

>>12026718
It's seven face buttons. SEVEN! Even better than six!

>>12025130
I kick myself in the balls for NEVER buying this baby when I could.

>>12026774
People were still making fightpads in the 7th gen with the 6 face button layout but it was mainly for people that played fighting games but were too cheap to buy a stick.

>>12025130
How does it feel playing non faitans with this thing? Like DKC or Super Metroid.

They should make a new controller like this but add shoulders that act independent.

>>12026936
Probably terrible

>>12026936
Maybe if you rest it in your lap while you tap the buttons it might be comfortable for non fighting games

>>12026920
pick one up on ebay

>>12026928
Yeah but the main point of them is moving the existing number of buttons around as opposed to having extra buttons available for binding. Think the white/black on the huegbox.

>>12026928
8th generation had some fightpads too.

>>12026989
If you have that many actions you need to bind, maybe you should design your game for keyboard.

>>12026584
Part of the blame falls on Microsoft. Their USB gamepad API for Windows does not allow you to have any more inputs than what is on Xbox360 and later controllers. Two analog sticks, one d-pad, two digital shoulder buttons, two analog shoulder buttons, a start and select. That's it.

Want to add a third analog input option?
TOO BAD!

Want six face buttons?
TOO BAD! unless you just move two of the should buttons as face buttons

Want six shoulder buttons?
TOO BAD!

Want a touchpad, or any other additional feature?
TOO BAD!

Microsoft basically set the layout of their controller in stone as the max inputs you can have on a gamepad in PC without resorting to 3rd party drivers that can break all sorts of compatibility. That's why any controllers that do have extra buttons are either just auto/turbo buttons, for recording macros, or for just cloning an existing button to a new location.

>>12026879
kek

>>12025126 (OP)
Does this controller see use in a woodwork shop or something?

>>12025149
Did you try to throw it away, but it kept coming back somehow?

>>12027364
That is a reductive argument and you know it.

>>12027801
Bring back DInput!
>why yes I do want to rebind my controller for every game and pray my axis are detected correctly

>>12026718
Maybe Guitar Hero, though the button colors don't quite match up.

>>12026621
I guess...? I can't really say I remember too well. The thing I remember was that there was no good analog/fine movement when going the WASD directions. Don't know if those were clicking switches or if it was analog. All I remember was that I felt that I didn't have any precision.

If you can stand the ADHD overdose, there's an LTT clip in the link I pasted before.

Ever tried the Steam Controller? Does the same thing, but a lot better.
