I’ve always found the original PS1 controller more charming than the one with DualShock analog sticks everyone knows.It makes you feel like you’re playing a more powerful SNES with full 3D polygonal graphics.
>>12786997It does look cool, but the dual shock looks just as cool or better. And has more features. (Rumble, and dual analog of course) (also a red LED )
>>12786997Why don’t your marry it then? Why don’t you slide your cock around the area between the handles?
>>12786997It helps that 99% of the PS1’s library was made entirely with d-pad controls in mind with the 1% exception being Ape Escape.Otherwise, analog controls were more of an optional bonus/afterthought until the PS2.
>>12786997Yeah the playstation sticks always gave me uncanny valley, not sure why, it doesn't look good.Also I prefer the original japanese pad, the longer prongs on the western one also looks not as good as picrel.
>>12786997The OG PS1 controller is still my favorite pad to this day. Love using it for almost anything gen 1-5.
>>12787452Me too, I use it for most things and this despite the select and start buttons being broken and not repairable. Also using a PS2 pad with the same USB adaptor gives me input lag compared to PSX pads.
>>12786997Because dual analog sticks are modern and not retro therefore not charming.
The dualshock doesn't just add sticks to the controller, there are a number of dimension changes as well to the shell.>>12787010Analog was such a game changer for racing games, though the negcon or a real wheel reign supreme.
I never liked what they did to the L2 and R2. I've never seen an original controller with a broken shoulder button but I remember multiple occasions when I had the pleasure use a broken dualshock controller at friend's house. Modern trigger buttons are somehow even worse. Sure they might be fun for driving games but for everything else they're just fucking miserable to use.

>>12787749>>12787823I believe tap tap tap buttons on the old controller for racing is more precise than analog sticks and triggers.
>>12786997> you feel like you’re playing a more powerful SNES That’s literature what you’re doing
>>12787823>but for everything else they're just fucking miserable to use.This is why I only use controllers with trigger locks these days.
>>12786997I remember having a much easier time with fighting game diagonal inputs using the original controller's D-pad vs the Dual Shock and later versions. Maybe I'm just overhypying it in my memory since I don't actually have one anymore, but I still think of it as having one of the best D-pads ever.
>>12786997I have a special spot in my heart for the OG controller. It was very comfortable and I have many fond memories of playing rented PS1 jank until sunrise using it.
God I remember having this thing in my hands.Felt so weird without the sticks.
>>12786997ive never tried one without the analog sticks, what makes it more charming exactly you can still use the dpad on dualshock? dualshock 1/2/3 are my favorite controllers to this day though. i use my ds3 on pretty much
