Yes.

>pad

I can never take anyone seriously if they call a controller a "game pad"

It's better search term, but anyways why are you so hypercritical? I think you need a hug.

No, that's a joystick, retard. As in Atari 2600 joystick and whatnot.

>is this generic trashy chink clone any good

Not at all. When you buy trash, you get locked into this cycle of having to prematurely replace said trash with more trash, and then before you know it you've spent more than you would have if you had bought non-trash from the start. Like playing the lottery, it's something that attracts low IQ individuals.

>that's a joystick

Yes, and OP pic is a gamepad.

had that plug n' play as a kid, was actually pretty decent

I mean the F310 works, it just sucks with some stubborn buttons. I tend to find controllers of around 20 dollars or I found high quality 100$ but that that just seems like overkill. There also tends to be a lack of reviews.

Like I am not sure if the Dotca controllers are good since there are only a few strange 5star reviews.

Idk it seems like there is a favoritism towards wireless so I might broaden into that.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. For the price of two trash controllers, you could have picked up a single quality controller. Instead of buying that dogshit F310 and then replacing it with another dogshit ZD-V, you could have picked up a DS4 on sale from the start and never had to go down that path. You're spending your money like a nigger.

Ok, now I know you're just baiting at this point. No one says things like "pass the gamepad" or "plug in the gamepad" without sounding retarded. Controller is the correct terminology and I'm just trying to save you from looking stupid in public.

>>16553388

I'm pretty sure you're trolling, but in case you're not– controller is a generic term, whereas game pad is more specific.

>>16553267

It's okay, I'd pay the extra and get a Nacon Wired compact controller if I were you, unless the lack of PS3 compatibility is a deal breaker.
