we've always had controller wars, it's just that it has died down ever since the xbox controller "won" because gaming was flooded with low IQ people who don't know how to hold a controller and so gravitate to that controller because of its larger size (more forgiving of holding it the incorrect way).

The fake D-pad imprint on the left trackpad is stupid, the back paddles kind of suck, the bumpers suck, the left analog stick sucks massively. The Steam Input rebinding will also never not suck.
>Besides not having a d-pad and a right analog stick
Those are the two best things it did, I wish that they'd just come out with an updated version of the first Steam controller (without a left analog stick, but with more face buttons) with the back buttons, bumpers and sensors from the second one.
>>739355367

8bitdo ultimate 2, works well. Had dualsense before, but its dpad stopped working
>>
>>739354929
I think it will since everything valve makes influences the industry, for better or worse. Mixed input makes setting up gyro a LOT easier. (Gyro to Mouse is simple, Gyro to Joystick Camera is impossible if a game doesn't allow you to change dead zones and accelerations in-game)

>Hori Switch Pro Controller (detachable dpad)
It’s the most precise D-pad I have here. It’s the only one that lets me play Tetris at top speed, within my own limits, without making mistakes due to misdirected inputs (something that’s extremely common with modern controllers, and makes them practically impossible to use, like the trash from 8Shitdo).
The analog sticks are terrible, so it's not recommended for modern games.

>Dualsense
I use it for modern PC games. The D-pad isn't very precise, but the rest of the controller is good enough for any new game.

>Arcade stick (Sanwa)
It makes arcade-style games much more fun. Sanwa is way overrated, though, and it’s not the same as what the Japanese use in their arcades (arcades usually have those metal clamps to smooth out the movement, which Sanwa doesn’t include to keep the price down, but Seimitsu does)

>Logitech F310
It's one of the worst controllers I own, in some ways, it's even worse than junk like the 8Shitdo SN30Pro.

>8Shitdo SN30Pro
I fell for the "influencer" viral marketing and bought this piece of shit to play retro games, but it's literally e-junk.
After about 100 hours of use, the controller literally feels like it’s falling apart in my hands, it has the worst D-pad I’ve ever used in my life, and the only upside is that it has a bunch of features like gyro and other stuff. Recommended only for normalfags who play for 1 hour a month.

>Hori Pokken Pro
The best controller I have for playing retro games. It still works great even after 1,000 hours of use.
The D-pad isn't perfect, but it's more precise than practically all the alternatives. Some complain that the D-pad is "mushy", but this makes no difference whatsoever when playing, unless you’re the kind of wine-tasting snob who gets hung up on totally superfluous things instead of focusing on the results inside the game.

Tarantula pro. Things I like;
>clicky like a mouse dpad
>trigger stops
>loads of extra buttons
>software lets you bind any input from a keyboard or controller to any physical button
>can also bind multi key presses and macros
>all binds are stored on the controller so the software doesn't even need to be installed to work
>playstation style layout
>good battery life
>the dock is pretty nice

Things that are not so great;
>the two back buttons are flush with the controller housing making them awkward to press
>the tons of buttons in the middle of the controller are tiny so accidental pressing can be an issue for sausage fingers
>the face buttons (XYBA) are slightly domed, I prefer them flat
>I feel the rotating face button gimmick is just that and adds nothing

Overall I would say it is the best controller i've ever used for my use case on PC as it meets all my needs in a layout I like.

>>739366123
Nah, I can back him up. I've only ever used the meme sticks when I got my G7 Pro Wireless a few days back and I notice a difference. Using my DualSense for Genshin and then using my G7 Pro Wireless on my Xbox for AC Shadows I can feel the difference in terms of the smoothness of camera movement and it being easier to aim with just the sticks regardless of the gyro being on. It also feels much more natural in terms of how it registers the movement and you don't need to touch a direction much at all for it to register compared to the deadzones of my DualSense or Series controllers.

I don't know if the S2 Pro Controller has something similar to TMR or Hall Effect too but it has sticks that feel somewhat similar to these though they're for sure stiffer than the TMR ones on my G7. I know Nintendo said they did something to the sticks with the S2 variant of the Pro Controller but it feels roughly a smooth as it too. Could just be because the S2's sticks never touch the sides by design.

How do I into gyro on PC? Assuming the feature is enabled on the controller.
>>
>>739367020
If you have a DualSense or Dualshock 4 and are using DirectInput it will either be enabled by default in games that support these controllers and the feature or you have to enable it in-game via one of their options. Emulators also support DirectInput by default and gyro by default.

If you are using a Switch Pro controller via SteamInput it should be set up automatically for you, same deal with in emulators.

If you are using any other controller you have to bind a button to activate the gyro (Usually on LT) in either SteamInput or via some sort of controller hub (Like Gamesir Nexus) and then make the activator either function as your right stick's X and Y axis or mouse movement. I think emulators might recognize this? Though most of these controllers are running on Xinput so I don't know 100% how it works.
>>

I honestly can't tell you how many albums but I've probably listened to everything they've ever released, ever.
My favorite is an unreleased In The End (Untitled), it has different lyrics than what you're used to and not enough people have heard it. That and Given Up/In My Remains. Every single song on Hybrid Theory is a 10/10, but their later albums aren't bad by any means. It's hard to compare to perfection is all.

Because they look like decals or paint, the symbols are slightly raised and have a faint black border which is probably the carrier film. The Steam Deck does the same stuff and the buttons are virtually the same between the two.

How good is this compared to 8bitdo pro 2? I have had it for a year, but the analog housing is starting to get chipped and no amount of tape is making the stick smooth anymore. I've always hated the dpad on it too, very imprecise, is the gamesaar better?

In any situation where it isn't natively supported, I recommend Steam Input. I've always had an issue of some sort with either gyro drift or other inaccuracies when I've tried other software.

Note that native support can be unusably bad on some third party controllers too (webm rel, only tilting up and down on Rainbow 3's DSE mode). Steam Input has inbuilt fixes for some of these, but sadly it lacks a passthrough setting so that can't be applied to something like an emulator.

>>739367249
Xinput gyro works by sending the mouse/stick input directly instead of the gyroscope readings, you'd need to switch to a Sony/Switch/dinput mode to use it properly in an emulator. Or at least for most implementations, I don't know if Vader 5 Pro's 3rd party software mode gets around that or not.

For about a year until it got stick drift. And I knew about it too so I had a case for it and everything, didn't care I still got stick drift on it. I didn't even allow a spec of dust on the thing and it still happened.

And in about a year LB broke.

sick of this shit. I used a DualShock 3 for like 10 years on PS3 and PC and it only died due to usb port and battery dying. My Dualshock 2, saturn pad, 2 dreamcast controllers still works.
Planned obsolescence should be illegal.
Anyway I'll try GameSAAARS next because they have something interesting coming up (if you're into Gyro) but I bet it'll also break in a year.

PS5 the sticks should ALWAYS be at the bottom. That way you can reach the d-pad with your fingers without letting go of the sticks. If you aren't a handlet that is.
>>
>>739353352
good morning saar! but seriously though, it's a pretty good controller for PC, also doubles as a pro controller when I play on the switch 2, swapping between the different modes is very simple and you can even swap the B and A buttons when you are going from PC to Nintendo, it has a convenient dock you can leave it at charging and you can just take it out to use it, has TMR sticks, 1000hz polling rate, latency with its dongle seems pretty low from testing websites

also has gyro if you give a shit about that, the physical trigger stopper thingies, and two extra buttons on the back, although I don't really use these personally

pretty happy with it overall, price was good, paid like 50 CAD for it on amazon last year, the only thing I'd say is the D-Pad isn't the best one, I still prefer the dualsense one over this

Wonder how different it'll be from Tarantula Ultra. And how different the gyro would be in general, even older midrange controllers like the Cyclone 2 are already accurate on that front.

I got the stick drift on my DualSense like six months in, same as you, treat them as best as I can. What fixed it was pushing in the stick itself, doing 10 seconds of clockwise circles, then 10 seconds of counter-clockwise circles. Haven't had it come back for like a year and a half now, maybe two years.

It literally is. Its JUST a driver issue, that's it.

I can Play xinput based games fine with steam input

Cucked. There is literally physical solutions to the problem without locking the whole controller to a valve driver.
>>
>>739385424
Or use linux? Or port drivers to windows yourself? They aren't restricted. Plus steam doesn't need to be online, OR be a game purchased on steam to use it. These complaints are fucking as retarded as saying you want to go Amish entirely because you refuse to pay a power company .
>>
>>739353352
PS5 even though I fucking despise them because they're defective pieces of shit with chinkslop batteries and constant stick drift. I have xbox controllers but for whatever reason my hands hurt when I use them for too long.

If I could find a good 3rd party controller with hall effect and sony style stick placement I would buy it.
>>
>>739384558
Enlighten me then. Does it get xinput or remapping without steam? No? thought so.
And the part that bothers me isn't that it need steam running but that it need per games setup on steam itself in order to get Steam Input. That fucking sucks.
In what ways is this not correct you little nig?
>>
>>739386129
Your moving the goal post fag.

First you were saying it COULD NOT work in any capacity outside steam, THEN you focus on the xinput meme argument. Linux already has native support for sc, and xinput emulation is functionally identical.

Xbox controller, you hit x, x button bind plays

Sc you hit x, c button bind plays, unless you want to bind it to something else. There's functionally no difference, at best its faggots who can't figure out drivers

Xinput is limited to shit, you can't have gyro for example so any sort of support is done with spoofed mouse movement or via drivers/software.

Same goes for extra buttons.

You're fucking retarded. If not all of the controls you buy this thing for don't work right away without Steam, then effectively it requires Steam, you smoothbrain.
>Without Steam, the device is generally recognized only as a generic Human Interface Device (HID) with limited functionality, such as basic mouse emulation or standard button inputs, but it lacks access to advanced features like trackpads, gyro aiming, and back buttons.
Half of the controller doesn't work and isn't recognized as a controller even if it's mapped to random keyboard keys.
You need Steam for the thing to actually work behind an unuseable bare minimum. so anon was correct.
>>
>>739386129
>Does it get xinput or remapping without steam?
yes it does.
use any other software made for that purpose :)

it uses an SDL driver.

It does, on linux.

You are literally disregarding it because you just don't like it.

But that makes you OBJECTIVELY wrong because it DOESN'T need steam, and linux is proof, but your saying it doesn't count because you are too dumb for linux.

Its like arguing its impossible to cross into Europe from America, saying boats and planes don't count because you think boats and planes are gay
>>
>>739387116
he is wrong regardless because it will work without steam without linux.
the "right away" thing is an old long debunked bit of retardation because these retards don't understand how "plug n play" requires controllers to go online and download custom drivers or use other custom shit.
so they load up their sony controller, boot up their sony software, just like a valve controller with steam, and cry that its totally different.
>>

these "people" have unironically bragged about buying two $75 sony dual sense controllers so they can keep one charging and play with the other one, to try and dismiss the battery life of the steam controller.

they bragged about paying twice as much for twice the failure points to deal with the garbage battery life of sony's shit.

they tried bitching about the plastic
>"durrrr what kind of cheapo garbo plastic dis?"
its abs same as everything else, with a CAD file released so anyone can make their own

they tried bitching about the polling rate
>"durrrr u NEEED 1000hz polling (that gets bottlenecked down to 250hz or so anyways)"
in reality you dont and it nukes battery life, which is why the dualsense has no battery life

they tried bitching about the trackpads
they tried bitching about the joystick placement
they tried bitching about the puck having exposed contacts
they tried bitching about xinput (as discussed)
they tried bitching about the price (with all other premium controllers costing 1.5x to 2x more)
they tried bitching about scalpers (less than a few dozen controllers ever went up for sale)

everything this samefaggot has

Xinput bs is such a fringe af issue, are you trying to play on your phone or something?

Just add as non steam game, or sisr, or linux

Plastic is literally the same material as others, you just don't like the texture, and can't be arsed to get a different body

As for overpriced, its less expensive than several controllers with more features, so... what??

It's baffling to me xbox controllers do not have gyro.
It's equally baffling to me console players refuse to use gyro for aiming. They insist sticks are better while requiring litera cheats to do most of the aiming for them.
I hate nintendo but one thing they do right is constantly implementing and experimenting with motion controlls.

Having gyro be the only option would also fix most of annoyence of crossplay in fps games.
When a gyro player kills you he isn't cheating with aim assist, reducing frustration.
When you kill him you know he had a proper chance to defend himself with his skills, not because the magnet in his crosshair was too far away from you, giving more satisfaction for killing him.

I have the SC2 reserved but I don't like how it's tied to just steam. Considering dropping it.

>>
>>739392920
Compared to a Steam Controller, you can use it on a phone or Switch, or as a generic xinput device on PC if you don't care about anything past the basics. If you want full functionality with gyro and full remapping instead of just mimicking other buttons, it'll also be tied to Steam Input.
>>
>>739353352
Xbox is pretty good, but the adaptive triggers and advanced vibration on PS5 + the buttons are for sure durable. The analog sticks are easier to be accurate with, I think. But yeah on COD it feels more like a gun, like an old arcade machine gun, which helps my finger muscles remember I just threw a shot. And Gran Turismo 7 like an advanced throttle/booster shit, with resistance depending on how long you've been holding the gas and where the car is on a turn, and also some resistance when first throttling or speeding up at all. Nintendo's controller vibes old-styled, if you like that.
>>
>>739354715
Get Xbox
>>
>>739354715
At $25 you can only go wrong if you'd rather spend more for touchpads or more back buttons. I still use mine over more expensive controllers because I like their "adaptive" trigger setting (hair trigger that actuates like a HE keyboard switch instead of at a fixed distance) and haven't found anything like it in other software.

It feels like a dualshock, the buttons are snappy and have a satisfying pop. The dpad is leagues better, its like a dualshock dpad but with the pivot exposed. The only real con is the wire is attached to the controller and the normal gameSAAR QC issues. Personally I use that plus a Hyperkin Xenon
