Confidently incorrect morons who think [number] is the end-all-be-all because they cannot understand the tech.
Plenty of old tech, on paper, beats the shit out of modern tech by this logic... and yet time and again its shown to be deeper than just a number.

still, 100% of the anger to this controller come from sony purchasers so, you know, brown people are going to be making most of the posts about it. Their little toy did just get mogged after all.

That's the dualsense polling rate over bluetooth
I use the dualsense over a gamepad (by mobapad) that has a polling rate of 1000hz wirelessly (over 2.4ghz). Guess which one feels more responsive

If you're the kind of fag using a 250+ hz monitor, you're not playing on a controller anyways.
If you are, then you're fucking retarded.
>>
>>738246967
my point was more about how controllers are a much less precise input device so they don't even benefit from 240hz monitors

>>738247058
have you ever used one?
>>
>>738247218
I mean people INSIST of analogue triggers as opposed to digital ones, despite the latter being objectively better for response and control.
The former is literally just wasting your time, adding in delay and looseness to pressing the triggers by having them be a spring with travel time
How the FUCK am I supposed to take any "only 250hz!" poster seriously, when they waste more time in seconds pressing R2 than they do having only 250hz instead of 500 or so.

>>738247626
you didnt respond to >>738247564, Your whole argument falls apart when you remember this is a controller, which not only isnt precise to begin with unlike a mouse, but the sticks, triggers and such are all analogue and come with a natural built in delay... but for years you have never complained about your sticks having a 8th of a second delay being an issue.
also, battery from corner to corner
>120h
>40h
>8h
>1h
Id probably have gone for 500hz instead of 250hz, but thats because im rarely going to be wireless and dont need the battery life. The difference in precision is inperceptible though, and if you do care, like you play esports or something, you arent using an analogue controller.
>>
the steam controller polling rate situation is crazy
>>
>>738247831
pretty sure if you ran the numbers, the delay from pressing the triggers to when they actually trigger is 5x the amount of delay from having 250hz instead of 500hz. Steam lets you change the sticks deadzones easily, but most people dont have them on a hairtrigger state, so again im sure its 8x worse than the poling delay potential.

but theyre just attacking that because, I guarantee you, 100% of them are sony ponies.

Bros, the hype with this controller was because us steam controller 1 owners bought the overflow stock of original controllers for like $25, because why not, and then after using them for a while with steam link realized that the controller was actually god tier for allowing you to play anything from the couch (particularly older games without controller support and emulators) because all buttons were flawlessly customizable and best of all, someone else already created the perfect custom control scheme and uploaded it for you and others to download. After realizing we needed to buy more, it was never sold again. We then spent 10 years talking about how fucking badass the controller was to all our friends, planting the hype seed. Now, we have the updated version following the steam deck format, which is double god tier since we have physical joysticks AND track pads in steam deck format(which is why 4 million people are trying to get the controller for docked play). No more holding the 8bitdo power button and spending 15 seconds moving right analog stick to move the mouse cursor on screen to a mouse only menu on playable compatibility games. This seals the perfection of the deck as a portable vacation game system and casual couch steam access point by fully extending its control scheme to the couch.

I'm going to buy the steam controller 2. Ugh, I know, I know, no xinput, its just... IM BUYING IT HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA!!

>>738246754
I used to think the same, but them I found out that newer graphics cards crunch down to 4 bit floats in order to gain that many "terraflops".
Not all flops are equal I'm afraid and nvidea are gaming the numbers.

are you the same type of retarded nigger who thinks 4k is "the new standard" because youre too retarded to check the steam hardware survey and see 52% of the population is still on 1080p?
you can extrapolate from that that the majority is still on 60hz too btw

>>738247058
The standard is the most common configuration, which is still 1080p at 60hz.
>>
>>738247626
during the peak of console the polling rate for controllers was between 65hz to 250hz max.
Funny thing is that 95% of people never noticed or had issues with it.

The PS3 dualshock controller got at best 125hz.
Do you even know if the games you play can process the higher polling?
ps2 era shit, for example, caps out at 60hz no matter what.

>>738247991
they technically poll at much higher rates closer to 700hz for bluetooth, but that is to maintain their connection.
The actual polling rate can be bottlenecked back down to 125-250hz by the process of converting the signal from wireless anyways.

So basically, no matter what bullshit you are wasting money on and crying about with MUH LOW LATENCY
Your wireless controller is gonna be working at 250hz at best on average.
>>
>>738259375
Considering everyone includes 4k textures, I'd say 4k is the standard regardless of how many internet cafes in China are at 1080p.

I refuse to move past ~60hz despite having a more capable monitor because all my favorite games are old nip games locked at that fps via programming, or newer nip games capped at 60fps because nips don't understand technology. I've seen 144hz and it's intoxicating, so I don't want to get used to it when I won't be able to use it on 99% of the games I really like. a nice side effect is i also save a ton of money on gpus
>>
>>738259428
I'm not gonna lie anon, I have a modded PS2 and modded PS3 next to me. I find it really hard to play games on them because the controllers feel like shit compared to modern options. I was thinking of getting one of those Wingman converters. I think 250hz is probably fine, but I don't exactly want to go backwards either. The old analogue sticks are easily the worst part. The original Killzone has to be one of the worst I've tried to aim in.

>>738247058
>400hz+ monitors are becoming the new standard
You can't even get more than native 100fps on modern games, and fake frames will add even more latency and don't contribute to polling windows no matter now much JewVidia tries to gaslight you otherwise.
>>
>>738246374
if you're using a controller for games where high refresh rate matters (aka online multiplayer), you're a retard. that is what your KBM is for. controller is for single-player 3rd/person games

> b-b-but 2D games
anything high refresh 2D won't have any benefits past 144-240 anyway. 250hz+ is a meme for anything but extreme comp professionals, which nobody on /v/ is. and if you are you'd be using keyboard+mouse

Yeah it's pretty rough. I don't think it's helped on the software side of things, but I'm not gonna pretend that analogue sticks on old consoles were amazing with low polling rates. They didn't feel good to use. They felt stiff, clunky, imprecise, and awkward. Things have gotten better for controllers.
>>
>>738259947
There you go. You realized that 4k is the high end and not the standard. Good job, faggot.
>>
>>738246374
I have no idea what this means
>>
>>738259517
You can still use 4k textures at 1080p. Hint: it refers to the size of the textures themselves.
>>
>>738259967
Thanks I hope I do too.
>>
>>738246374
You can easily configure it to poll at 1000hz on linux, like you can with a ps4/ps5 controller. I dunno about windooze.
