what's the best dpad or controller with dpad focus on the market that's usb/universal? My 8shitdo farted out and doesn't work. no xbox style layout pls
>>7433502758BitDo M30.
>>743350275if it aint got corners it's a shit pad
>>743350275The Lenovo Legion Go 1 controller.
>>743350275This. Best bang for buck too.https://gamesir.com/products/gamesir-tegenaria-lite?pr_prod_strat=jac&pr_rec_id=b3be0b312&pr_rec_pid=8534187540714&pr_ref_pid=8659276267754&pr_seq=uniform
>>743350971Is there a way to put a pivot on this thing? The D-Pad is nice but I'd rather it didn't push down in the center
I use the switch SNES controller to play basically everything that needs a dpad
>>743350275I love my PS4 dualshock
>>743350275>My 8shitdo farted out and doesn't workdid you get tricked by the pro 3?
>>743350971>>743351226>8shitdo>gameSAARKindly fuck off. These dpads are dogshit, especially 8SHITdo.
>>743350275All you need>b-but mu 8shitdoCope
I quite like Hori's fighting game dpads, in particular the pokken controller which you can pick up cheap on ebay
>>743351579>all you need>missing a wire
>>743351226I keep thinking about buying one of those just for more dpad heavy games. I tend to prefer Xbox controller layout which is why I use that for most of my controllers but those do look good for dpad gamingOf course since I'm talking dpad gaming there's also the forbidden route of just getting some $30 chinkheld at some point to play old shit on in bed which is not much different than buying a better controller for it
>>743351226this one surprised me, I thought the dpad would be a total piece of shit but it feels good to use even in fighting games
>>743351778But it comes with one...
>>743351579>4 directional 8shitdo dpadEeeeew
>>743351226>>743351883I haven't used one but it looks very similar to the Vita D-Pad, which is one of the most kino D-Pads ever made.
>>743351815>Say this and then look at Chinazon and see a R36S knockoff for $17IT'S SO FUCKING CHEAP AAAAAAAA THEY'RE TRYING TO GET ME
>>743350275Vita and Sega Saturn are my favorites
>>743350275The TT MaxBest d-pad I've felt in a standard controller, and it's symmetrical which makes it easier to use for me. It's essentially the same d-pad as their Elves 2 which is the reason I bought it.I'm surprised more people don't talk about it. Think it has 2-3 ms latency with the dongle, and it's worked for everything I've tried including slotting the dongle into a Brook Wingman to use it on my PS2.
>>743352379Gulikit's quality control is awful. I ordered an elves 2 and the left stick rattled, then I ordered a second and the dpad was super mushy. I frankensteined both controllers together and returned the one with all the faulty parts. I like the elves 2 for simpler indie games, but I sure as fuck am not gonna gamble 70 in hopes Gulikit doesn't fuck me again.
>>743350275Sega Saturn controller.Original.8bitdo are shit.Hori make some good ones.
>>743353219>elves 2>sega saturn style controller>4 face buttonsWhy is it so hard for these companies to make a controller with 6 face buttons and 2 sticks
I used to play Melty Blood React on a Logitech F310. That has a solid d-pad on it. Great for fighting games.
>>743353807So you're looking for the Retrobit Saturn Pro?
>>743353920NTA but this controller was straight up garbage. Switch sized stick caps, small grips, the C and Z buttons mirror the shoulders so you don't have a true 10 button controller, also some other issues I remember from reviews.
>>743350971It's decent, but I wouldn't recommend it. D-pad continuing to register a direction even after releasing it screwed me up a couple times.
>>743354065I heard it was ok for PC but sucked as a proper Saturn controller since it didn't have digital triggers like the actual Saturn 3d controller.
>>743354231I had this issue with my M30 (2.4Ghz USB version) as well as buttons occasionally remaining pressed after releasing, it went away when I updated the firmware for both the controller and receiver.
Does GameCube have the most useless dpad?Love the controller but that shit was stiff
>>743354065>the C and Z buttons mirror the shoulders so you don't have a true 10 button controllerCan't you switch it to direct input? I remember it being possible on the wired one without the sticks.
>>743350275D-pad specifically? Series X controller, no contest.
>>743354313The Gamecube d-pad is straight up unusable for primary movement. It's agonizing playing the Mega Man and Mega Man X Collections on GC.
>>743352379That's a big dpad
>>743354303I have the bluetooth one that I usually use plugged, I might be shit out of luck, but I'll google around.
>>743351778Mine came with a wire, I think you just got scammed.
>>743350275I've been sorting through, repairing and preparing peripherals for my old systems for storage in my attic. picrel is almost half of them. Atari, Amiga, Commodore, NES, SNES; N64, Wii, Wii U, Switch, PS1-5, Sega Mega Drive, Saturn, Xbox & Xbox 360. I've been testing them for issues and after playing with them all more or less in a row, the Sega Mega Drive/ Genesis 3 button controller is still king. 6 button and Saturn pad follows closely, but the 3 button pad is the best, not only for it's dpad, but also the button layout and controller shape. Another great alternative is the iBuffalo SNES USB pad, which is a prefect recreation and has some of the lowest input delay measured. >>743350971this is also a great pad>>743351226I want to try a few gamesirs since they seems to have a good reputation. I got a steam pad so I'm good for now together with my iBuffalo, 8bitdo M30 and mega drive & saturn pads for variety. DaemonBite adapters are easy and cheap to make, just pick up an old controller for best valuehttps://github.com/MickGyver/DaemonBite-Retro-Controllers-USB

Snes is still my favourite, best controller, best console, with the best game (Super Metroid)
>>743350275I play all dpad games on an arcade stick because I like making my life hard.
>>743350275Hori Octa Pro
Controller sage here, you want pic related.Not only the dpad is very practical from all testers, it is also a very good controller and probably the best value wireless symmetrical controller on the market right now.
>>743350971this is my go to, it's pretty comfy and haven't had issues with it, I mostly play shmups with it
>>743353219That doesn't surprise me that their QC would suck. I've heard quite a few complaints about the joystick deadzone on their TT Max.Fortunately both my Elves 2 and TT Max wound up being perfect, so I guess I'll just have to hope they don't shit the bed.
>>743350275Maybe not the best but the psvita has an amazing dpad and I'll never forgive Sony for the stupid fucking overpriced memory cards.
