How did valve become the apple of gaming?
Just say your poor bro
retard being wrong while posting twitter screenshots
>do I buy something that might break early and be unable to fix or something that might last foreverSounds like a good investment.
>>737864661symmetrical sticks are the only non-retarded choicet. owns 2 8bitdo's that I bought solely for guests and exclusively use dualshock 4's myselfI'm still mad that 8bitdo hasn't made a proper dualshock clone with TMR sticks tho
>Is that... is that controller.. 292 GRAMS IN WEIGHT!?! REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!Society can't collapse soon enough.
symmetrical sticks are for aliens
I just can't see any point to the trackpads. I had an original Steam Controller and the trackpads sucked ass there too. Sticks are just inherently better. Controllers have been solved long ago.
>>737864768bro, your pro3?
>>737864661>twitter thread>Euromutt price>Comparing brand new not even released item to used goods
>>737864768Anon they did, the 8bitdo Pro 3 released some time ago
>>737864661i can pair a dualsense to apple products tho
if you need a copy pasted controller there are even cheaper options than 8bitdo
>>737864768This.
>>737864812>>737864836that's an SNES gamepad with sticks stuck on itgive me separate dpad buttons or give me death
>>737864836thats a super nintendo controller with sticks on it retard
>>737864870>that's an SNES gamepad with sticks stuck on itThat is the design ethos of the Dualshock yes
>>737864870>>737864884Dualshock and Dualsense controllers don't actually have separate buttons, that's one solid d-pad piece with a bigass pivot.
>>737864795Trackpads shouldn't have replaced the second stick but it's very useful for UI based games
I’ll wait until the stress tests are conducted. If the Steam controller is durable like the Deck, I’ll but this item too.I already went through 4 PS5 controllers, the stick drift is just the bane of consoles.
>buying a used controller
I don't like it because there's no Windows driver.
going to buy 3 gabetrollers to dunk on poor people
>>737864768The outwards sections of the controller are the natural resting points for your thumbs. It's fucking retard to put the left stick in inwards section.
>>737864920I know, but they feel different>>737864884my brother
>>737864957If it's detected as a generic Dinput controller I'm not sure you'd *need* a driver
>>737864979my hands have been permanently twisted into meaty crab claws by a childhood full of Armored Core games
>>737864943Imagine if she puked blue in your mouth.
>>737864795The worst part of the original Steam Controller was the stick and it was brought down massively by just not having more face buttons instead, even a d-pad would have been better at that point.Controllers were solved in the 2000s and the solution was to stop using cheap handheld ewaste unless you were going for full motion control VR controllers, because keyboard and mouse are just better. Sure actually well-built controllers like throttles, flightsticks and wheels are good, but handheld controllers have always been the cheapest shit originally designed to cheap enough for pack-ins, but now sold at a massively inflated price.>>737864884That is a dualshock.
>>737864661GET A FUCKING JOB POORSCUM GAMING IS A RICH MAN'S HOBBY
>yuropean is poorWater is wet.
>>737865028You hold the controller backwards?
Does anyone have this controller and is it any good?
>>737865069fucking newfagsreeeeeeeee
>>737865069It's an Armored Core meme, jps use to say you needed more fingers to use all the functions and thevbackwards controller meme was born.
>>737865069>>737865119actually I've just now realized why I've always hated xbox layout, you can't use dualshock claw grip and press dpad buttons with your pointer finger on xbox
>>737864850I never understood why they always brought up specifically 8bitdo when they always say they basically want 360 controller tier functionality
>want to use controller on Windows 11>it only recognizes XBOX and Switch, PS4 and 8bitdo are just generic controllers to it and I have to use ds4 or some other program for it to be playable What the fuck, so I have to use an Xbox controller??
>>737865205funnily enough it's the same apple mentality that OP is mocking
>>737865196pic related>>7378652058bitdo is cheap enough and build quality is extremely good, plus hall effect/TMR sticksthe included charging dock is also extremely comfy/convenient
>>737865035mmm phazon
>>737865091Going by Mobapad M12 HD joycons the build quality is gonna be superb but it REALLY depends on how much you like clicky buttons
>>737865224what games? there are numerous games with native support for ds4 and dual sense (actually native not steaminput)
>>737864661>bragging about 8bitdoodoo>open box evenRevolting. We need to start killing poors until they behave.
You can tell this guy chokes on so much cock, HIV has a restraining order
>cheating out on a peripheral you'll use for thousands of hours I just don't get it, total poorfag mindset
I'm trying to think of a mouse/cursor based game I play to really feel out the trackpads when
>>737865205Because 8bitdo make good quality controllers.
>>737865315I meant to say only Xbox is supported and everyone else switch, ps and 8bit are genericOh fuck I forgot about steaminput, it’s like hey you can use ps controllers through it, okay but how does that help me with my epic games collection?
>you lived long enough to see valve shills resort to the exact same copes as applefags
>>737865563ds4windows if that is still around. There will definitely be something similar for this controller
>>737864990Alot of games don't work with dinputX>D
>>737865547Recommend Balatro
>>737864661I fell for the 8bitdo meme after my friends raved about how fucking great they are, that piece of dogshit started breaking down within a month. Maybe I got a bad one but I'm not giving them money againI've been looking forward to the steam controller 2 since it was announced though, the steam deck control scheme won me over
>>737865547>>737865686Same as the steam deck, when the honeymoon phase is over you realize that it's nothing more than a shitty gimmick and you're better using an actual mouse whenever you need anything the analogs aren't good enough for
>>737865739Sorry bro I can rocket-jump decently with a controller in TF2 thanks to Steam Dick's controls, and will be able to with a dedicated controller soon
a-symmetrical pads are cringe
>>737865563>steaminputIts ass for older games Xinput just works
>>737865667Yeah and it’s shitI’m old and I vividly remember it being shit back in Windows 8 days, I tried it again last month and it’s still the same, it disconnects whenever I use it wiredMaybe I should try Bluetooth Gonna just bite the bullet and buy a Xbox controller.
>>737865734>that piece of dogshit started breaking down within a monthYou know those come with a 1 year warranty?
>>737864792this except asymmetrical
8bitdo design and patent theft bugs or an actual company that creates their own products
>>737864661steam controller for triple the price every time
>>737864661Yeah I can't believe Valve isn't pricing it to beat used products.
>>737865769>tranny fortress 2jump off a bridge freak
>>737865841>nyooooo that doesn't count ur a tranny *shits myself*Whatever, nerd.
>>737865894>skibidi toiletopinion discarded
>>737865739No I won't because I still use it on my steam deck when the need arises. Convenient>>737865686I'm afraid of gambling rougelites now. Cloverpit was dangerous to me kek>>737865789I had no issues using ds4windows and whatever similar program I used for my ps3 controller back when. I used it wired. Did try bluetooth a few times for adding more controllers. Still never ran into issues. This is also across multiple versions of windows. Sucks you had a bad experience though. Never fun with how weird pc shit can just be sometimes
>>737865793I didn't want to risk getting another defective controller so I just got a refund
>>737866107Smells like you're just making shit up desu.
>>737865734how'd it even break?
>>737865802It's incredibly easy to fall into patent issues when making hardware. Want to do anything interesting with haptics? I hope you have a lawyer and a war tank ready against Immersion Technologies.Literally any meaningful gaming hardware company has been sued by them. Valve, Sony. I think Nintendo is the only one that avoided that battle and just chose to license their stuff directly.
>>737866105>I still use it on my steam deck when the need arisesfunny way to admit you don't use it regularly and need to have an excuse to pick up that forgotten trash
>>737866140You 8bitdo's strongest soldier?>>737866159Bluetooth started acting up, random disconnects here and there, then just stopped connecting entirely, so I switched to usb, then that crapped out too
>>737866251>They offer free maintenance for a year>You didn't know this>Made up some bullshit about "didn't want to risk it, just got a refund (after more than a month)"Lies.
>>737865196Yes, but that's also a bad thing to do, just use a HOTAS/HOSAS/KBM instead if the control scheme is too complicated for a handheld controller that is still held ergonomically and comfortably. >>737866187Patents are almost as bad as trademarks in terms of how poorly they translated from the 19th century to the 21st century. It seems like their predominant use is just harrying legitimate competitors with frivolous lawsuits that are now highly likely to be drafted directly by AI slop, since there is no reason to expect most of them to ever be fully resolved in court.
>>737866320Where the hell did you get after more than a month? I was still within amazon's return window
I'm only here for the Steam Frame.
>Our launcher supports every possible controller made, will you support our back buttons and trackpads?>NoGet fucked
>>737866361>Started breaking down after a month says you>So if you got a refund it must therefore be after thatCan't even keep your story straight.
>>737864661I like how nobody talked about this gamepad and gamepads in general until nowWhenever Valve does anything, there's an army of people coming out of the woods to make retarded posts like their life depends on it
>>737864845and you can use any arbitrary gamepad with steam input, what's your point
>>737866404you must be fucking with me>>737865734>WITHIN a monthREAD, nigga, READ
>>737866406It's been a thing since 2015, Anon.Casual consolebabbys don't care about trackpads because they don't play KB+M games
>>737864661>open boxha ha ha. nigga, there's a reason that chinesium no-QA is being sold open box.Meanwhile valve replaced my years old OG steam controller, well outside of warranty, because they didn't simply sell replacement parts for a faulty button.QA and features differentiate these products.And I say this as a Pro3 owner.Get different pad for different reasons.
>>737864661Steam controller has better stick placement and touchpads. However forcing to run non-steam games through steam is making me think thrice.
>>737866218Don't see how using the trackpad for mouse input is an excuse for anything. Do you not use tools for their appropriate purpose or something?
>>737866381quest 3 is better and cheaper though
I will buy one exclusively to send cum tributes to Gaben.
>>737866710Dongle and fov-streaming makes it worth it if you don't have a Quest 3 thoughbeit.
>>737866715What do they call such functionality?

>>737864661you forgot to mention the one on the left will last for 6 months before it breaks
>>737867037It's called having the R3 and L3 buttons, sweatie.
>>737864661Why are eurotrannies so poor?
>>737867037Only Dpad I've ever been able to stand playing fightgames with
Why would i need or any dumbass expensive controller that has a retarded layout like that when i have any xbox 360 style amazon controller that somehow still has back buttons?
i fucking hate xinputi fucking hate microsoft
>>737864661I prefer the sc1 to the sc2 but if you're trying to say a stick controller is better than a trackpad controller, you're just never gonna fuckin' get it
>>737864784>over half a pound of weight for a controllerBut why? What are they shoving inside that thing, lead weights? That's heavier than ten silver morgan dollars.
>>7378646618bitdo is trash
>>737864795>Sticks are just inherently better.No the fuck they're not. Sticks are better for movement, but they're absolute shit for camera control. Gyro exists, but without trackpads or flick stick, you still have the issue of turning 180° while you're being shot in the ass being too slow. And flick stick has its issues too since you can only look up or down with gyro.
>>737864661>positing 8bitdo as the sensible budget choice over gamesir again and again im amazed how little capacity for reason browns have
>>737867490Sticks + gyro works perfectly fine for Splatoon. I don't see the problem.
>>737865670>X>DIs that supposed to be a laughing jew? I don't see how that's relevant.
>>737864661something something market forces something something shareholders something something super yacht something something
>>737867603Valve has no shareholders.
>>737865563>how does that help me with my epic games collectionSimple. You don't buy shit on epic games.
>>737867447Actually replaceable parts so if something dies you can just unscrew the shell and replace the bad bit. Having everything permanently affixed and the shell sealed would be much lighter but then you end up like apple where your macbook becomes a brick when the SSD dies because they couldn't spare the 5 cents and 3 grams for a CMOS battery.
The same people complaining of the price have literally 0 idea it's capabilities, like anyone who owns a steam deck.
>>737864661>different dpad and stick placements>one has trackpads and the other doesn'tcompletly different use cases, casual fags wouldn't know better i guessdpad and buttons also suck on the chink ones, i have one. it's good for its price but doesn't compare to a more premium controller
>>737864661Fellow /v/irgins, how do you feel about a man who's using controller only for platformer games like hollow kniggrt and completely unable to use it in a game like nioh.
>>737867521Splatoon is designed from the ground up for it. You can always switch into squid mode if you're being shot from behind to get away and turn around. Regular stick controls simply can't turn as fast as flick stick (which, while great, has its own issues) or trackpads unless you set the sensitivity so high that you can't hit anything less than 180° from your face.
Fatso need another boat. The Gabedrones will react accordingly, like the gay cuck they are.
>>737868015Make a controller if you are so great so I can give you the boat instead of him.
>>737864661I can buy 5 more of these for the price of 1 Gabentroller and this cheap chinkoid controller does everything I needFor what purpose does the Steam controller exist?
>>737868153The dual sense already exist plus there are a gorillion other options on the market, no one need my controller nor the fatso one, you dumb gabedrone.
>>737868464You could also buy like 50 of these
>>737868506I'm just pulling your leg. I only have DS4/Dualsense and a 360 controller wished a better key remapper existed other than DS4Windows and DSX/ReWASD.
>>737864661So I would like to buy a controller for a couple of games I play but I have literally NEVER held a controller in my hands for more than 10 minutes.What is usually more natural, symmetrical or asymmetrical sticks?
Is this how it ends for Valve? Not with a bang, but with a controller
I have the 8bitdoodoo. It’s good but very small. Noticeably smaller than an xbox series controller which already is small to begin with. I hate that the steam controller doesn’t have additional shoulder buttons though. I use them all the time
>>737868848Why complain about additional shoulder buttons when it has pads, under buttons, capacitive grips, and everything bindable with anything, including double tap or long press binds???
>>737864795>I just can't see any point to the trackpadsThey allow you to comfortably play any PC game, which is important for handhelds but obviously not important for a controller. They're also much better for aiming and clicking than sticks and last much longer without issues. And having buttons that activate with a simple touch is very comfy.
>>737864795You probably tried to play games already made for controllers using pads to replace sticks and whines it sucks. Pads are good at doing everything, But it can't emulate doing a stick better than an actual stick.Steam controller won't help if you lack 3 IQ points to browse layouts or make your own, OR only play native controller stuff anyway.That said if you want far more binds, mouselike precision, ect, steam controller is it
steamie jeet thread.
>>737864795Mouse control.
>>737864661>8bit or retro in the name
>>737864661>8BitDoWhy not a GameSaar then?I have an '8BitDo Ultimate Wired Controller for Xbox' (for PC) and while it gets the job done, it's also very mid. Meanwhile GameSir has the reputation of having some of the best third party controllers on the market right now, while also not breaking the bank.Also... 8BitDo's software is absolute trash, they have 3+ different firmware updaters (none work on Linux) and will probably create even more, instead of maintaining the ones they already put out.
>>737867568Xinput>Dinput
>>737864661do the needful and get the GameSir
Good morning gamesir time for big time controlling
>>737867847why would you buy this controller when you only plan on using the dpad? you can get better controllers for less. valve should have charged $200 just to milk you crackers
>>737864661If anybody can't see the intrinsic value in trackpads, then yeah. They should get a generic controller instead. If you can't make use of the trackpads they'll just be wasted.For anybody with a brain though, the Steam Controller is an absolute steal.
>>737868464Why do you need 5 controllers? You can only use one at a time anyway so might as well spend your $100 on one good $100 controller instead of 5 shitty $20 controllers.
>>737864661and triple the features?what is this retarded argument
>>737868779It depends on your hands. If they're symmetrical, go with symmetrical. If they're not, asymmetrical.
>>737869515>shitty
>>737864661Just wait for a year and get the upgraded chink version of valve controller for $50
>xitterimagine being mad some fat fuck is selling a controller that completely MOGS the controller you like>b-but MINE IS BETTERok, lol have have>b-but you don't understand!!! it's CHEAPER, it's BETTER, it's OBJECTIVELY THE SUPERIOR CHOCIElmao why you mad?
>>737864661SC looks like derpy chubby face
>>737864661I didn't know apple made easy to repair hardware
>>737869515chinese controllers usually have better parts and cost way less than any first party controller, look at gamesirs controllers they are incredible value with tmr joysticks and all the extra buttons and adjustable triggers
>>737864661I will order one the moment it drops.
>>737864661Controllers last for literal decades, there's no price difference if you think about itAlso,>asymmetrical trashno thx, put both sticks in the upper part if you wanna improve the classic
>>737864661>paying 37€ for used chinesium gamepad that probably has 2 more months to live
>>737864661One complaint I saw about the steam controller is that the thumbsticks are way too close together, and now that I'm paying attention, yeah they really kind of are?
>>737869645
>>737864661always gay boys like him complaining about steam costing more than typical chinkshit when it comes to custom level features from a pro-controller that would cost $145-$200 if you were to order one yourself.
>>737869407Yeah I got that. It's not true though.

As if being made by an indian company wasn't enough.>>737869656>they are incredible valuePretty good for their price? Sure.Better than console first party controllers? Obviously.However, the Steam Controller still has better value since it's 10 times better and only 5 times more expensive.
>>737869821I would charge 100 bucks to jump off the bridge instead of 200>>737869847So is sony selling a 200 bucks controller or not anon?Its a yes or no questionIs it expensive?
>>737868464It has gyro and trackpads?
Just don't buy it? Get a logitech or something instead
Gamesaar has definitely been paying employees to post about their controller here and this controller is definitely making them worry a little. It's only 20 more than their premium offering and is just straight up a better deal. Better battery, better latency, better customization (supported by steam input), more input options...
>>737869792
>>737869874>So is sony selling a 200 bucks controller or not anon?>Its a yes or no questionpffffffffffffffft HAHAHAHAHAHAYOU GOT THE ANSWER IN THE FUCKING POSTYOU ILLITERATE RETARDTHIS IS THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF VALVE COCKSUCKERS

>>737869979Only thing I use from shitbitdo is the clanker fight stick, you can't fuck up a fight stick (since you can upgrade/modify it) but you can fuck up a controller and I consider rest of the controllers to be of substandard quality that I'd rather buy a LogitechF310 over them 24/7 regardless of features due to price difference just being that much lower.
>>737870071The shill doth protest too much.
>>737869880I have had PS4 and PS5 controllers with the trackpad and gyro for 10+ years and never used them onceYou don't actually play video games, you like to fiddle with nonsense like a Linux faggot

>>737870103I've had a ps4 controller since they existed. I tried using the trackpad like how I use the steam decks trackpad. Never could get it to feel natural to me. It took me less than a minute to get the steam deck's working the way I use it still. I did spend time with the ps4's fiddling (on windows), but not really any fiddling with the deck's. Got any other stretches you can pull out of your ass?

>>737870289>why did value put the left thumb stick in wrong place? What do you mean? They didn't. Are your eyes working?
>>737864661If you own a console and by extension any Xbox pad or DS4 or DualSense, there's very little reason to buy the pad on the left for PC, unless they break.I have 360 pad, DS4, DualSense, on top of DS2, and all of them still work just fine with no drift.Steam Controller offers me just way more and I plan on getting Steam Frame.
>>737870315the stick in the top left. it is the superior position if you are playing shooters with a controller. walking forward requires no effort. you place the center of the end of your thumb on the stick and simply straighten your thumb to walk forward. with the stick forward it keeps your thumb straight and stable. the stable position makes slight left and right adjustments easy. Good for racing games and aiming with both sticks in a shooter.
Never ever using gamepad without trackpads ever again, seethe.
Got this a few weeks ago for $20 and it's been real good. Only complaint is the back buttons can only be assigned to duplicate the face buttons. We'll see how the build quality holds up over time, but so far so good.
meh, I'll day1 buy it just because I have no other use for my steamwallet hat money
>>737870816Does it come with software or do you do the button swap via the controller itself?
>my arms are le tired from holding a controllergrim.
>>737870884There is software but I haven't messed with it. You can reassign buttons from the controller itself.
I got one of these just to play smash on the switch for like 25€.Then I suddenly needed a gamepad for my PC and used this one and it was suprisingly good. Still holds up to this day after years of abuse. I bought a second one just in case and now they're at 35€.
>>737871019Is having both remapping options normal? Guess there is no reason not to have both. I really only had 3rd parties way back when that just acted as xbox controllers. Well one was ps3, but never used it on pc
>>737864836But can you use it with the ps5? No then what's the point, I can get plenty of controllers with Hall Effect or TMR sticks on PC but it's the ps5 Im worried about since it has no TMR option
>>737864661
>>737870771>asymmetrical layout has the left stick higher up>meaning you have to extend your fingor more if you are going to be holding it in the "up" postition>this somehow requires less effort than on symmetrical where the stick is lowerim not even saying symmetrical is better or that it even matters but this is retarded>playing shooters with a controllerlmao
>>737870612NTA, but with a handheld or controller the weight of the object isn't a problem, its how the weight falls when held by max 2 fingers per hand, while being kept in an unnatural position, possibly for hours.like how i can carry a 20kg tool bag for a half hour hike to a radio tower, but carting a 2L milk bottle for more than 5 minutes through a shop suck ass, because the handle is made for pouring, not carrying.
>>737871075>But can you use it with the ps5It's a game controller. Not a TV remote.
>>737871187>im not even saying symmetrical is better or that it even mattersI am saying asymmetrical is better.driving with asymmetrical is better because of that relaxed position i outlined. the right thumbstick's lower position allows you to turn left and right with the exact same motion. the left thumbstick in the higher position lets you walk forward and back with the same motion.optimizing the most common uses for those sticks to a simple push and pull motion. can you play shooters well with a controller?
>>737871765once again this is just pure schizophrenia
>>737871058No no no, you need to spend $100 plus on a controller with gyro trackpads and back buttons.
>>737864661open box? why would you do that unless you're poor? there's probably something wrong with it
>>737871821you dont know what schizophrenia is. either way, its a shame Value has made a snoy controller.
>>737864661Twitties are retarded and don'r see the value of the trackpads yet would happily drop $100 on the switch 2 joycons
>>737872081The person is clearly retarded since they're acting like price is the only possible consideration between the two.
>>737867171They have a real currency instead of toilet paper propped up by oil. When Americans lose reserve currency and actually have to pay according to the real value of the dollar they are going to whine harder than the poorest europoors
Retards really can’t wrap their heads around the simple concept of "quality = pricier" it’s crazy, guess that’s your brain on corn syrup
>>737864661Are the trackpads patented? Always wondered why there are so few sony styled controllers, well i guess the buttons are a nono but the trackpad has existed since the ds4 and no third party has given them a tryWould be funny to see them give em a try now that they can copy valve for a third of the price
>>737872445Because that's not how american capitalism works. You get quality when you are underpaying and the company is expanding, then they crank the price and fuck the quality once they reach critical mass. It's inverted
>>737864661The 8bitdo is cheap garbage though.
>>737872773valve is pre-enshittification for now. they're just waiting for the fat guy to die
>>737864661The only 8bitdo contoller I ever bought turned out to be a cheap piece of shit that would never charge properly without waggling the cable around and then the socket just broke and disappeared inside when I tried to plug it in one day. I replaced it with a logitech f310 that was £10 cheaper and has already lasted twice as long. The next time I'm in the market for something more exotic and wireless there's no fucking way I'd consider 8bitdo or spend less than 50.
>>737872937You faggots have been crying wolf for 20 years now
>>737864661I'm still using my 360 controller since this thing is immortal or somethingIs that 8bitdo thing better than a modern xbox controller?
>>737873263I don't understand what you're trying to claim here, you think Gabe will literally never die?
