>Microsoft and Razer are working on an Xbox mouse and keyboard
Normally I'd say this idea would be really fucking dumb, However Microsoft is known for having the best controllers on the market. I'm curious if they'll make an extremely comfy mouse, the keyboard is gonna be a Wooting One with some Neon Green lights though. I'm only looking forward to see if they'll go with the Minecraft Gamer Cred or if they'll make a solid product albert overpriced like fucking crazy. Anyway is there any hope for such a project? or is it doomed to fail.

While I'll give you MAYBE the Duke.
All their contemporary controllers are shit
It took them ages to use REGULAR FUCKING BLUETOOTH for their controllers so you had to buy and adapter that was prone to failing and even then THEIR CONTROLLER HAS A BIOS THAT TRIES TO REJECT HANDSHAKES TO NON WINDOWS 10 DEVICES.

It's acceptable.
What "I'm On About" is the fact the onboard software for the controller is set up to fuck up inputs if you try to use it as a bluetooth controller for a non windows 10 device.

Doesn't beat the DS3 but beats the DS4 by a landslide, if you defend the DS4 compared to the alternative you eat shit and should fuckoff back to ResetEra honestly.

That's actually surprising, I fo want to see pressure sensitive keyboards to become the standart.
I want to see how much they'll price it and how bad the mouse will be.
e150ec No.15046834
>>15046817
I disagree
I will however admit that though it is currently my favorite, the PS4 controller still does not meet what standards I would have for a general gaming input device.
And that I had to use third party software because sony's stock drivers for the DS4 suck

I think its a good idea. i see room for improvement in the mouse & keyboard department, and the style of the current gen mouses has bothered me for some time now; as ive been waiting for a little more variety. But i could just be a little too imaginative.

It's somewhat spottily reported since a lot of people use the wired mode on non win10 devices, the only reason I'm familiar with it being that I tested it when running games on my home server which runs linux because frankly, fuck microsoft server operating systems. They suck anus.

DS3 is pretty shit too. Only advantage that has is that the face and shoulder buttons are analog.
Anyways, the DS4 far surpasses Microsoft's controller. The Xbone gamepad is way too small and the triggers are this uncomfortably shaped, plastic shite. DS3 < Xbone < 360 < DS4 < Mouse and joystick

Why are there no controllers that can use and Charge rechargable AA batteries?

Play and Charge kits were meant for proprietary rechargable batteries.
The battery packs are to hold alkalines, ans only alkalines.

>The battery packs are to hold alkalines, ans only alkalines.
You can use NiMH batteries too.
TBH, using AA is better in the long term, because those will keep being produced. With the DS4, battery production will eventually cease, leaving you battery-less forever (although wireless a shit, so who cares).
Also fuck Xbox bumpers. I never liked them. Even the Gamecube's Z button is better.

5195ae No.15050015

But why though? Even for a mouse that small and without a cable, is still too big for a keyboard of that size. Not to mention the fact that using a computer with putting the mouse on a unstable place (like a keyboard on your lap) is just going to cause more problems than it does solve.
It's like I'm staring at the design process for the Bradley in different form.
