Hey /v/, first of all, happy new year, may this be the one where the Day of the Stairs draws near.
Secondly, my bootleg ps3/pc controller got busted and I'd really like to find some model or two that could replace it. I'm not really the kind of guy who wants top of the line performance, since it's mostly used for retro games, but I'd really like a controller where all buttons/dpad/analogs feel smooth to press and fidget with, I can't tell you how many controllers I've tried worked perfectly well but had terribly sturdy buttons. I'm also vehemently against bluetooth controllers because of always forgetting about turning the damn things off once I'm done playing, so if it's cabled or with usb support, all the better.

just get an xbox one controller if you're on Windows.
hold the button to turn it on, hold it to turn it off. easy.
The wait time to shut it off every time after playing is worth the hassle saved of messing with third party dongles, wires, button binding, & drivers.
I used to use DS3, and it was a nightmare to maintain & set up for every game. when you want to play a game, you don't want to deal with bullshit for 30 minutes, you want to play. make it easy on yourself.

Should be in the Qtddtot but fucking xbox 1 controllers, can't stand them. Either get an xbox 360 controller or a ps4 controller. PS4 controllers very nice but no clue how to get them to work so probably a 360 is easiest.

I have a xbox 360 controller and it just works pretty much everywhere, no problems on Linux either. The quality of the controller itself is not the best though, especially the dpad could really use more precision, the battery encasement is so tight that it's a pain to put batteries in and especially take them out, I'm literally worried that I'll make the battery leak with my fingernails. Also it's a wireless controller, don't know if that was a wise choice because of the latency. It works well 98% of the time though, but when it comes to things like the hard stuff in super metroid I sometimes have to do it on the keyboard.

OP, if you're just playing vintage games, go for either a Yok SNES wireless controller (Which requires a Classic Controller adapter for PC if you're not going to use Bluetooth and the Wiimote) or the PS1 P-103E Performance Gamepad (Which requires a PS1/PS2 adapter).

Game Sir is a good brand. They have wired controllers and the only issue I have with them is maybe I just got a defective one, but the deadzones on the analog sticks are kinda large. You have to push the analogs like 25% of their available space before they register anything. They're bad for stealth games because the window of what it's analog considers "slightly tilted/pushed" is only like 10% of the available space. So you have to be absurdly delicate and precise with it to get those kinds of movement right.

are you retarded? even that chink botnet motionjoy used xinput, and that API was released in fucking 2005. directinput has the exact same limitations with a xbox pad since it's the same driver.
the only "bullshit" was getting it to run via bluetooth, but even then you could've just use usb if you're too stupid.

>>16792625
>PS4 controllers very nice but no clue how to get them to work so probably a 360 is easiest.
they have directinput support out of the box, plenty of games target support that directly by now. for xinput you need something like ds4windows that can fake it being a 360 pad, or just use steam which does that too (more annoying to set up tho). ds4windows also lets you remap stuff and use the touchpad as mouse etc.
only "complicated" part is finding a proper usb bluetooth dongle, but unless you don't buy the cheapest chinkshit and it supports bt 2.1 you should be fine (although might be a good idea to grab a 4.1 while you're at it for other stuff you might wanna use in the future). if you use cable it doesn't matter anyway.

Don't ever buy any third party clone shit no matter how much people claim they are good. Go buy an 8bitdo Bluetooth PCB for an original SNES controller if you want wireless or go buy a Retro USB SNES to USB adapter if you really want a wired controller, it's that simple. There is also an equivalent for both of those if you prefer a Genesis controller.

I believe it does. I've owned a 360 wired for 7 years until it recently gave up the ghost. The One controller seems slightly more ergonomic and sturdier. It also has some sort of matted textured surface that gives one a more assured grip. Note that all One controllers can be made wired or wireless on the fly, if you care about that. Just be aware you'll need the necessary accessories to do so.

From my experience, don't use a DS4 with Steam controller shit. For me, it'd always swap the controller profile whenever I played a different game and so switching between Dark Souls III and Rocket League (the two games I played religiously at the time) became the worlds biggest chore because swapping the controller profile to the right one takes forever.

>what does that even mean btw?
Buttons and sticks feeling loose or stiff/sticky.
Buttons being too sensitive or not.
Parts feeling weak/brittle or bulky
Large dead zone on analogue sticks.
Rubber or similar coating on the body where there shouldn't be any.
Buttons should move smoothly and evenly. If it doesn't, it'll get stuck or drag. Pic related
I have a USB SNES controller with a poor shoulder button that makes it not register presses or pop out properly.
A good amount of it is poor or no tactile response.
You want to know that the button was actually "pressed." For example, think of the gamecube's analogue shoulder buttons, it registers partial pressure but noticeably clicks when fully pressed, both tactilely and audibly.
If you use different computers often you'll notice tactile differences in keyboards, mice and touchpads quickly.
Flat digital "touch" buttons where it's trying to emulate real ones feel like absolute shit. I can't explain this one properly if you don't already know what I'm talking about. Think of a controller layout displayed on a phone screen and having to use that.
Bit of a tangent: When it comes to touchscreens/touchpads there's a good degree of preference but you generally shouldn't need to put a lot of pressure. I disable haptic feedback on my phone since the visual response is enough but it depends on context. Styluses are nice to use.
Shitty design in general can hint how little thought was put into something.

that's only an issue if you use steam input. if you use ds4windows steam doesn't interfere. added bonus you don't need steam to run in the background then.
if you have to use steam input because the game requires it (never played ds3 or rl, so no idea if they do) steam should use the game's profile. if you didn't change anything loading the default one takes 5 seconds.
but yeah, steam input can be annoying. dunno if it's the game or steam input, but after every major game patch I have to remap my keys because the profile is incompatible.

I don't know why people keep pushing the Og XBOX controllers as anything good, the layout is retarded (except for fighting games where 6 facebuttons makes sense) and they're both way too bulky, they're sturdy and the breakaway cable is a very good thing sure but outside of that they're the worst 1st party controllers of the th gen.
Thank god tfor the ogx360 so that i can just use a non retarded controller on those without having to rely on the horrible chinkshit adapter with tons of input delay.

I have one of these and it's replaced both the DS4 and the XB1 controller. It's so much more comfortable than either of them, at least for me.
It works seamlessly both corded (detachable USBC) and via Bluetooth. I had to charge it mid-game the other day when it died, I just plugged it in and it kept working. No dicking around.
The dpad and buttons feel like an SNES controller. The analogue sticks feel like a dual shocks.The analogue triggers feel great. It's got a "home" button key for macros if you like screenshots/recordings while you play.
The only thing it didn't have is decent grips on the analogue sticks. I don't like the smooth caps, I find my thumbs tend to slip on them a bit, so I got a bag of analogue stick thumb caps off Amazon and have been putting them on all my controllers. But that's not a knock against the controller, because every controller has the smooth tops.
>>16793244
>I've heard Valve might do a new steam controller, that might be worth waiting for.
Left stick where the left touch pad was, d-pad where the analogue stick was, and keep it much the same. Or have the swappable components they hinted at previously and let people make their own controller layout.
The first controller was a great idea, but they just didn't go far enough with it.
>>16793282
I think it's because they use the nostalgia layouts and that draws people in and makes them a familiar brand. You know what a Q score is? Using 8 and 16bit colour schemes and shit is basically free points.

The Steam controller overlay allows for "Nintendo compatibility" which will swap the A and B buttons around so they're where they should be.

I got me a hori like that, no analogs but it's lightweight which I guess is good for comfort. I found the d-pad a slight bit painful for extended fight game sessions, but I rarely get in the mood for that, I find it to be quite reliable at least. The only thing a bit odd about it is the DP/LS/RS toggle with some emulators not liking it in a particular mode, that may just be a general problem though.

I should mention, I mostly want it to play 3D games from the PSX/N64 era, but I don't mind the idea of also having a more vintage controller for 2D platformers. Even if it's a monstrosity with tons of extra buttons to map with joy2key I'm quite fine, as long as the buttons are comfortable to press and the analog stick isn't stiff I'm good to go.

Best choice is wired because wireless anything causes cancer, as we now know. If it's plastic, wear gloves or you're going to turn into a tranny from BPA. If you're a nigger then don't worry about it, because you don't need to pass your genes on.
I'm 100% serious, 10 years ago I'd think this would sound ridiculous. Norwegian study confirmed the oxidative stress effects of RF and EMF, which can lead to dna damage, hence cancer risk. As for BPA and other bisphenols, they are known as xenoestrogens and can be absorbed VERY easily through skin. educate yourselves fam. All this applies to keyboards, mice, cell phones and more. Look at how chris chan turned out from a lifetime of playing with plastic shit. Why do you think so many trannies have been "avid gamers".

it's more like eating from plastic rather than the manual handling of plastics which is why the whole BPA-free meme been thrown around, there's also multiple types of plastics to consider from ABS, POM, PBT, you have to be more specific about your plastics. Plastic is a mistake in the sense that it's the go to use case for everything solid when the job requires something more durable like a car's door handles.

Best controller would be:
Switch Pro controller as a base
Keep the gyro for fine-tune aiming (worked great in BOTW)
Analogue triggers
Paddles underneath that are customisable per user (as either a macro key or a toggle to make face buttons do secondary functions)
BUT
Make everything customisable and swap-able.
The analogue sticks, d-pad, and face buttons are all in their own separate piece, and can be pulled out and put in any other "circle", so you can have a dual shock layout or a Wii U Pro controller layout with the sticks up top, or a southpaw Xbone controller layout with the left stick on the bottom and the right stick on top.
And the best part is there would be after market touchpads, like on the Steam controller, so you could have fine touchpad style mouse controls like on the Valve controller. Two of them if you wanted, but you shouldn't, because you don't need two. You just need one for the right stick and a d-pad and analogue stick on the left.
And a share button like the Switch controller too. Short press for screenshot, long press for that last however many seconds of video.
That would be great as long as it's not made by microsoft, because Microsoft hardware is fucking terrible. The Xbone controllers have all been shit, especially the Elite model for two hundred fucking dollarydoos.
Such a controller made by Nintendo would be the best controller ever, second only to pic related.

Huh, didn't even know that existed. But yeah, something like that.
I think Nintendo or Valve patented something similar a while back where each component could be moved around.
While looking for said patent, I found this video for a PS4 controller from Thrustmaster which is pretty much exactly what I'm talking about, but without the touchpad component, and the buttons on the back aren't paddles which I think would work better (like on the back of the Xbone Elite).

The USB replica that came with the playstation classic, you can get the mini console for $20 or so and it comes with two of them. The PS classic itself ain't half bad, it's pretty much a pi 3 in a cool case.
>Any good vids about it?
See the embed, the controller pretty much redeemed the entire thing, it's great for SNES games and it also works on PS3 albeit only for PS1 classics, you can use it on PS3 games but it's worthless unless the game lets you remap.

Also, while it's kinda late now, I nabbed a steam controller during the sale where it was sellin for 5 bucks, and it's actually kinda good. The handles are imo the only bad part of it – i think i might try fucking sanding them down to a better shape. They're still tolerable though, and otherwise it's actually REALLY configurable to do a ton of stuff, and the gyro's neat too.

I would have to agree with the other anon when it comes to the xbone controller in the fact that it feels cheap compared to the ds4. Also stay the fuck away from Power A controllers, that chink piece of shit breaks in a month of steady use. The molding of the face buttons are cheap as shit and wears out real fucking fast.

>>16815052
>I've heard this brand getting shilled non stop on /v/, is it actually good and what are its drawbacks for anyone that owns one?
They're above average controllers overall but unlike pretty much everything else on the market some models have breddy gud d-pads and above average buttons so for emulation and 2D games they're about as good as you can get without buying original hardware and an adapter. I have the SN30 pro+ and my only two quibbles with it would be that you can occasionally hit the menu button if you have fat fingers and I don't really like the stick layout but the latter is probably because I grew up with an xbawks instead of a playstation.
>Seems pretty standard either way, can it be wired and can it work without the battery?
It can't work without the battery as far as I know but the wired connection is USB-C and rock solid. So far the wired connection has just werked for everything I've thrown at it while the bluetooth has been just as good for PC games but doesn't play nice with some emulators.

8bitdo makes a BT dongle that has plug-and-play compatibility with the PS3. If you get a SN30 pro+ (closest to a DS3 in layout) that will probably be your best bet but that setup will cost you seventy dollary-doos plus tax.

I dont really like the "we're nintendo but not really" marketing they use, but i bought the Pro+ simply because it was less expensive than a pro and im not disappointed.
My main gripe with it is that it advertises "CAN WORK ON SWITCH. ALSO HAS XBOX AND MAC MODE" despite only a pro, an Xinput/Dinput mode, and another xinput that mimics a PS4. It works on switch, android and PC but i had assumed the Xinput mode work work on xbox as well which it didnt.
Overall the only reason why its talked about a lot is because it made the pro controller obsolete unless you must have asymmetrical sticks and amiibo support.
You dont need one if you have a PS4 or similar, but ive used mine since launch and the only thing thats happened was the A button got a little mushy, but disassembling it and pushing it back into place fixed it.
