Why would you buy a Steam Controller when the definitive PC controller already exists (pic rel)
>useless dpad>asymmetrical sticks>xinput onlyno thanks
(pic unrel)
>>737939337Definitive for around 10 months, when it starts to drift.>b-b-buy an a-I'm not interested in the Steam Controller either.
>>737939337>definitive PC controllerThats not a Tegenaria lite
no gyro?
>>737939337>xshitput>no gyro>no back buttons>no trackpads
>>737939337No pads, no gyros, for higher price???Absolute scam.
>>737939476No touchpad to use as mouse inputDS4/Dualsense is better
>>737939476>gamesaar
>>737939337Steamies are mentally ill and a cult. Simple as.
>>737939337>Still using AA batteries in 2026>Still innovating on the worst d-pads imaginable >Stick drift king>Worst feeling bumpers of all time that crunch when pressed >No gyroIt's impressive how they consistently make the worst controllers with zero improvements and people still call it "the best". They've been making the same controller since the early 2000s and it still has less features than the 20 year-opd sixaxis. I'm still burned at how terrible their first-party rechargeable batteries were for the 360 controller anyway.
>>737939337Actually wouldn't be bad for 20 bucks, but they are delusional pricing it for 70
>>737939831Do you not have rechargable batteries in your home?
>>737939337*clickclickiclickclick* it's not a bad controller but I'd rather buy a 2nd 8bitdo controller than this>>737939397>asymmetrical sticks are le bad nowholy snoyism.
>>737940003You don't need to buy rechargable batteries if it HAS a battery inside it.Like steam controller..Actually that's an excellent point, so a steam controller has more features, more inputs, gyro, pads, better dpad, more under buttons, grip censor AND an internal battery which you'd have to buy for x elite which is ALREADY more expensive. Lmao
>>737939337Better wireless signal, even less input lag that Xbox wired.
>>737940003>just plugging in the cable or placing the controller on the charger>100% charge when gaming startsvs>taking the fucking batteries out of your controller when they are out of juice>0-?% charge when gaming startsWorst case scenario you have no charge when you start gaming and you either forgot to charge others or used them for something else
>>737940003Yes I do, but I have to charge them in my 15 year-old contraption that takes all day. My batteries also surely have much less capacity now than when I bought them, since a charge lasts about a week now.
>>737940216>asymmetrical sticks are le bad now>nowalways were
>>737939337>no gyro>definitive>no trackpads>definitive>no TMR sticks>definitive>no capacitive sticks>definitive>no grip sense>definitive>not even fucking back buttons>definitiveWeak bait.
>>737939831surely nintendo is the drift king still
>>737939337Yes, my R1 button just stopped working properly. Out of the blue. I can't wait for May 4th.
gyro is for monkeys
>>737939337>Drifts and shits after half a yearI'm good bro, and the elites are no better
>>737941108>Noooo, how dare you aim more fast and intuitive than with a janky ass stickI assure you, if I death matched you in ant shooter, gyro vs no gyro, I'd beat you with gyro. Doesn't even matter if I know the game.
I was considering a steam controller, but looks like there's no point when I already have a ps5 controller.
>>737939476It's cheap, and PS layout with hall effect sticks, but the sticks suck
>>737939337>definitive PC controllerwith that d-pad?
Had this for a few years and all it took was dropping out of my hand once for it to have USB detection issues, stick drift and shitty bluetooth connection.It -did- come with the rare dongle to connect to but I cannot find those anymore for a reasonable price.
>>737939337I don't like asymmetrical sticks and there pretty much no buttons for hot keys
>>737941383Its tmr sticks actually, and how do they suck? I'll be honest besides potentiometers or switch joysticks, I can't remember a shitty joystick in the past decade, but maybe I'm just fortunate??? Xboxes, PlayStations,8bit do, steam controller 1, steam deck... I guess hall / tmr is better, but I can't even have a frame of reference to see this steam controller as worse it it has tmr, unless it was made out of bubble gum or something >>737941450>no buttons for hot keysLol. Reminder you can fit an ENTIRE keyboard of bindings on a steam controller layout.
>>737941630>Lol. Reminder you can fit an ENTIRE keyboard of bindings on a steam controller layout.Yeah, that's why I'm buying Steam Controller. Emulating is comfy on Steam Deck, you don't have to remember weird combinations to get into emulator's settings or select save state, just bind the buttons to trackpads.
>>737939831>>737940220AA rechargeable batteries are the best, you retarded ape.
>>737941838Since you responded me talking about internal batteries included with it...what exactly is your argument why having to buy your own batteries is better for user experience?? I REALLY want to know.
>>737941017I wouldn't know, Nintendo hasn't received a dime from me in over 10 years.
>>737939337When I was controller shopping last year I really wanted something with back buttons because I liked them on the deck. Didn't want to spend more than $100, so I was torn between this and an 8bitdo controller with 2 back buttons for like $15 less. Obviously got the 8bitdo. It feels cheaper than my last Xbox controller but at least it has more features.
>>737939413Been using mine for around 4 years at this point, never had any drift at all
>>737939337Sort of off topic, but I have been through like 4 of these in the past 3 years. I either get stick drift, or the buttons stick. And no, I am not a fat ass, and I wash my hands religiously. Are these controllers just not meant to last?
>>737939337I have never used anything but an xbox360 controller on pc. What am I missing out on?
>>737943735not much, maybe better dpads for fighting games
>>737943735a good dpadnot much else
>>737942006You have an easily replaceable standard sized battery that you can replace in less than a minute vs a spicy pillow that will bloat out and need an eventual replacement, that you might not even be able to source depending on if your controller has a specifically sized battery or not, and that will require disassembling and reassembling the controller itself
>>737944142Its also a battery you won't need to replace for years.. with a battery life longer than you can stay awakeReplacements will be on ifixit, and likely sourced after.And assembly disassembly is easy because those "massive screw holes".Lol.So you are so paranoid the battery will go bad you'd rather spend additional money on shitty double A which can also go bad.... and don't own a screw driver.Lol
>>737943735Depends. If you're content playing mouse games on mouse and controller games on controller, probably not much.But if you've ever wanted to play a game that requires aiming while on the couch or otherwise felt frustrated or limited by the amount of buttons for example, you're missing a lot.
I only care about dpad. How's the dpad on it?
>>737945739I'll also say gyro aim is another realm of experience, especially for shooting.
>>737939831I only buy wired controllers or ones with replaceable batteries. I don't want my controllers blowing up if I leave them in my closet for too long
>>737939337People who say this is the best controller have clearly never used a PS controller, and most likely only owns one console. DualShock 4 is so far the best one except the triggers break too easily.I bought a DualSense last week, and the triggers feels much better. However, it has a similar problem that the Xbox 360 controller have, which is that the controller is too big / bloated compared to the DualShock 4.I haven't tried a Switch Pro Controller yet, but I've heard some good things about those as well. But Xbox 360 controllers are just terrible. The face buttons feels horrible to press, and the dpad is so fucking stiff and makes stupid loud "clicky" noises.I might go back to DualShock 4 if the DualSense bloated size keeps hurting my hands. The only problem is that those controllers are on their way out and won't be produced much longer. Not sure how I'll handle future gaming without the DualShock 4.
>>737946041Just drain the battery if you store it long term???? Also I'm pretty sure those spicy pillow incidents were mainly with early ion batteries, or damage
>>737939337to thank supplier for years of service by buying a crap product, even if it ruins the industry. many such cases
>>737945787Not great, definitively the weak spot in the controller, still better than previous xbox controllers
>>737943735d-pad
>>737940718>gyroWorthless waggle meme.>trackpadsOne of the worst input devices ever devised.>TMRCool buzzword, bro.>capacitiveAnother meme.>grip senseAnother meme.>back buttonsGee, I sure do love hitting superfluous buttons when I'm just trying to hold the damn thing. If I'm playing a game that needs more buttons than what's on a standard controller, then I'm not using a controller for it.
>>737939397best dpadGot more 1ccs on this than any other controller or stick
>>737943735Back buttons are nice because clicking in sticks fucking sucks. otherwise nothing. This is why these prices for modern controllers are ridiculous, they offer nothing over these 30 dollar wired pads from almost 20 years ago.
>>737940216>*clickclickiclickclick*>it's not a bad controller but I'd rather buy a 2nd 8bitdo controller than this Ihave both an xbone 1 controller and a 8bitdo pro 2, and I have to say I vastly prefer the xbone if I am using the dpad with any regularity. You actually know when the buttons actuate with the click, while with the do's mushy thing you just cant tell physically, especially if you are doing a horizontal.
>>737945287>Its also a battery you won't need to replace for years..NiMH AA batteries also last for years so you dont need to replace them often
>>737947093>gyro = waggleYou don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about.>One of the worst input devices ever devised.Wrong.>Cool buzzword, bro.Not a buzzword. A stick technology that's drfit-proof.>Another meme. Wrong again.>Another meme. Still wrong.>I sure do love hitting superfluous buttons when I'm just trying to hold the damn thingThis has not happened ONCE in all of recorded human history.>If I'm playing a game that needs more buttons than what's on a standard controller, then I'm not using a controller for it.What if you want to play that game on the couch? Or simply want to jump while moving the camera in a normal game?
>>737939337Gabe needs another yacht bigot
>>737943735
>>737947093back buttons are good for not removing your thumb off the analog stick. hence, 50 kills in rivals. unless you like being worse
>>737939476i like my tarantula
>>737943818>>737943862>>737947052I will now attempt to improve it
>>737948373I wanted to like it really bad but the d-pad destroyed any possibility of that
>>737948947>3d printed>improvelmao
>>737949894Why yes, I will test a spacer underneath the original pad and then a full replacement with individual buttons. If both feel like ass I will go back to the original. Care to elaborate what makes a 3d printed dpad worse than the original?
>drifting in two yearsNo thank
