I actually ordered one of these, not for my PC though (I already have 360, DS3, DS4 and XBO pads) but for my android tv.

360/PS3 controller drivers got fucked up in Marshmallow.

(You)

If you use anything other than a PS3 controller you're a plebeian and a casual by definition.
>inb4 muh drivers

If you use anything other than an Xbone Elite controller you're mentally retarded and should be sterilized.

I've been using a ps2 controller and a ps2 to USB connector I got from RadioShack probably ten years ago. Everything still works so I have no reason to change it yet.

DS3 triggers are pretty awful and it feels kind of cheap.
DS4 is better but it's got shit battery life.
XBO has good battery life but the sticks are wrong and the dpad is still bad.

Enjoy your deadzones faggot

xbone controller will always be the best. stay cucked.

best to hold, best to use, best to easy install.

Why use this when you could just be using a PS3 controller?

Kinda looks like a ps4 pad

>best to hold, best to use, best to easy install.
Hold is subjective, to use it's shit because the stick and dpad are place in the wrong place, easy to install the Op controller is detected as an xbone so it just werks

Op controller is detected as an xbone so it just werks

xbone controller is the one with massive deadzones.

DS4 is better. If you've got one there is zero reason to still use a DS3.

>DS4 is better but it's got shit battery life.
Seriously? I got mine that first November and it still gets a solid 7-8 hours or so, which is plenty in the context of the PC since a USB plug is right fucking there anyway. More wouldn't be bad, I'd be happy if they dumped the lightbar and added a bit more battery, but I've not once found it constraining either.

it's a good all-rounder but the dpad will forever make it useless for emulation.
If you only play modern games it's a perfect choice though, especially since the new revision will have bluetooth.

ps3 controller is literally the worst among the playstation controllers

What deadzones?

My PS3 controller is also working as an xbox controller so what's the problem?

>solid 7-8 hours
That's shit, even a wiimote with motion+ lasts longer. A DS4 should last like 30 hours or so

>ok i'll go check it out
>gamesir.hk
>.hk
nah

>Ps3 controller drivers cause random blue screens

I just cant

That's not a Steam Controller, OP

not OP but I ordered mine from china mainly because it's cheap and has a lot of positive reviews.
So long as it connects to my android tv and works for emulation I'm find with it.

How's the Dpad on this shit?

>That's shit
Only on a spec sheet. In case you didn't bother to read the OP user, we're talking about PC usage here. In fact on the PC wireless itself barely matters either because you can just use it with USB instead.

In a living room where you want to keep it by the couch and you're a long ways off from the console/TV sure it'd be more interesting. But in the context of the PC where most stuff is wired anyway 8 hours wireless at a time is plenty good enough. If you want to say Sony is retarded for making its controller better for PC usage then actual console usage, well, you'd have a point so feel free. But that's not this thread.

>the stick and dpad are place in the wrong place
You mean playstation controllers have them in the wrong place. Xbox controllers are the only ones that get it right.

The left analog and face buttons are your primary inputs, so they go in the "primary" position that's easiest to access. D-pad and right analog are secondary, so they go in the secondary positions.

Nintendo also got it right with the Gamecube but have been fucking up since then because of this "muh symmetry" nonsense.

I tried the steam controller in a buds house.

The haptic feedback on the touchpad things feels godlike. Also pressing buttons causes a bit of rumble, and it feels soooo right.

I still use my xbox 360 controller. I dont want to make my elite ahiney from palm grease

>sir

This is the best controller for PC and one of the best controllers period.

It looks like a rip-off of Logitech's d-pad. It's a Hong Kong product, so it's probably shittier.

>distilled water
basement?

I would agree with you if it wasn't for the face button placement.

That fucking 9999999 hour battery life though.

>Both sticks are up
>ABXY buttons away from shoulder buttons

Its shit. No one but nintendo wouod try that hipster bullshit setup

I wonder if laptops used haptics they would feel better.

which ones, because I used scpserver for my DS3 and it works fine, no issues.
On the other hand, I bought my brother a speedlink or some shit controller that works both on PC and PS3 and yea, the drivers cause a BSOD. Took me a while to realise it's their fault, fucking piece of shit

not him but I bought a DS4 for PC and while it's great otherwise the battery life is garbage, far less than 8 hours.
Almost anytime I go to use it, it's out of charge.
You can only get maybe 1 session of Dark Souls/Dragon's Dogma out of it between charges.

It's a shame too because I've wasted so much fucking money on gamepads for my PC, the XBO lasts longer but it's shit for emulators and the DS3 I bought I barely ever used.

The only problem with this controller is no analog triggers.
It's mostly just bad for trying to play mario sunshine but it's still a bummer

It takes 5 minutes to adjust to. Also, what do the face buttons being far from the shoulder buttons have to do with anything? You press them with your thumb.

maybe wait a few months

Chinks make good shit now bud, get with the times.

Xbox One controller is the best for PC. Anything else is memery.

>the dpad will forever make it useless for emulation.
How? It's very clicky and responsive. Miles better than the Xbox 360 dpad. What issues do you have with it?

My latest "moment" with my SC was Subnautica

It doesn't support controllers. So I clicked a few buttons to turn my touchpad from a stick to WASD keys, and bound the buttons and triggers based on the inputs in the menu.

Then once I was in-game I realized "RT > LMB" was a bad mapping in Subnautica because it uses left and right handedness in a "backward" way (your item is in your right hand, which usually is "fired" with LMB but in Subnautica it uses RMB and your left hand to dig). So I pressed the overlay button, swapped LMB to LT and RMB to RT. Went back in, realized my bumper = scroll wheel bindings were backward (LB was scrolling the tool menu rightward) so I repeated the process.

Fucked with it a little more when I realized my item rotation keys were mapped weirdly.

And I did this all, and it remembers it for that game.... And I think about how much of a 2-hour clusterfucking headache it would have been to get this set up and then auto-loaded to Subnautica with XPadder.

Goddamn, the controller notwithstanding just the ability to use a Steam-centric keybinding system for games with no controller support already makes it better than any other controller for PC.

It's overwhelming at first and might be discouraging for a lot of people but all the settings are just insane.
I mean look at this shit youtube.com/watch?v=eYKfnWtQSaQ

I created myself a profile earlier today to play some roguelike. 8 directional movement keys + run modifiers on the left pad. Right pad is mouse but click modifier spawns a wheel I can choose spells from 1-9 and I bought Ctrl and Shift modifiers on the bumpers so I can effectively cast around 30 spells.
Bound the basic Enter/Escape buttons, inventory on Y and Character sheet on X and managing is fucking easy.

this
xiaomi, for example, is now master race when it comes to phones and earphones

A friend lent me his pro controller a week. Tried to use it for smash but it was uncomfortable as fuck everytime.

If the game only requires you to only use either the face button or the stick then its alright

>what do the face buttons being far from the shoulder buttons have to do with anything?
You can't claw grip it

it's not very good at all, it's more clacky than clicky.
The XBO dpad is very similar to the 3DS dpad, it's very unsatisfying and feels imprecise in terms of its travel distance and how it bottoms out.
If you're using the dpad for actually controlling games you want something like the DS phat dpad or an SNES dpad or a Dualshock dpad.
It also doesn't help that the dpad isn't in the neutral position, aligned with the face buttons.

XBOX may never have a truly good dpad, simply because it was conceived in a generation where the dpad wasn't used for movement, thereby making the dpad only an item select.

>he uses the cheat-stick

How to run and look around in Souls games?

>game sir

>Try claw gripping with the pro controller
>Have to control the stick with my index finger rather than naturally with the thumb like with any other well thought out controller

It's shit

Its for cleaning my monitor

Bind the run button to ZL, maybe? I've never had an issue with just running and then looking, or using the lock on feature. But I'm not very good at souls games.

I think if a game requires claw grip it's more of a sign of the controls being shitty than anything.

By rebinding your controls so that the sprint command isn't on a fucking face button.

God what a fucking retarded binding.

All it needs is something like the steam controller or elite controller on the back where you can costum map buttons and shit. Then it'd be perfect, I really haven't used one but I keep hearing about no click on stick or no analog triggers or something else.

I'm holding one right now. The sticks are clickable and there never seems to be an issue with the click registering. The triggers are not analog so you can't light-shield in melee unless you bind it to a specific button, makes them pretty bad for racing games too.

>I think if a game requires claw grip it's more of a sign of the controls being shitty than anything.
This.

Any button which you would reasonably need to press or hold while also moving the camera should be shoulder-bound.

It's as simple as that.

stop being a manlet

>xbox face buttons
>playstation layout
>standard dpad
>bluetooth and xbox 2.4Ghz wireless
>compatible with PC, ios, android, xbox and playstation 3
>can be either dinput or xinput on PC without remapping or wrappers
>good battery life
what's the catch?

Nah claw grip is giving you access to more buttons at the same time. You have your index finger covering all the face buttons, your thumb on the stick and your middle finger on the shoulder buttons.

I liked it for shooter and games where I could take advantage of using face buttons while moving the camera, like in dark souls, which you cant do well with a pro controller

Needs the right stick on the proper place. Then it'd be pretty solid

>>playstation layout
there

I agree with this user, DS3 battery lasts ages compared to DS4. I'm guessing its all the gimmicky shit draining the battery (Light on the top/back, touch pad)

DS4 is an upgrade in every other way though, DS3 feels cheap after using DS4.

sorry bud, no one but you plays FPS with a gamepad.

Game Sir

>Needs the right stick on the proper place. Then it'd be pretty solid
Sticks need to be on the same level, so Pro controller and playstation like controllers are great, xbox is retarded

>use gyro to aim
>enable haptics on gyro
>it rumbles more the further you go from the 'center' position
It does feel great.

>I'm guessing its all the gimmicky shit draining the battery (Light on the top/back, touch pad)
you'd be wrong.
you can disable the light and touchpad and it will still have bad battery life.
And it uses the same battery capacity as the DS3.
It's just somehow very inefficient.

This post makes 0 sense. The playstation layout is only good for FPS, which is why the other guy says that's one of the faults with the controller.

Atleast it isnt the wii u pro controller analog stick placement

I wish my hands werent hueg. I cant wrap my hand around the xbone or ps4 controllers while the ps3 and xbox 360 controllers are a perfect fit

>getting a wireless controller for PC

literally WHO uses anything but xbox controller for pc


>muh steam controller that sucks
>muh playstation controller that feels like flimsy shit
>muh 10 dollar offbrand chinkpad

>Nah claw grip is giving you access to more buttons at the same time
At the expense of your ability to press them rapidly or accurately, and also your comfort.

I don't understand why you wouldn't just bind the DS melee buttons to the face like EVERY OTHER ACTION GAME ON THE PLANET, freeing up the shoulders for dodge rolls/sprint/etc.

No reason not to bind dodge to R1, lock-on to R2, light and heavy to square and triangle, use to O, two-hand to R3.

Boom, problem fucking solved, no claw grip.

I prefer ps4 pad personally

>wrong stick placement

Agreed but I think the xbox 360 controller is better just because they are cheaper and 3rd party dongles I believe are more readily available.

I'll admit though I have never tried the newer xbone controllers. maybe when all of mine die. (Which might soon, the analog stick is getting out of place.)

>playstation layout
>both thumbs on the top for older games (dpad+facebuttons)
>both thumbs on the bottom for new games (left thumbstick and right for camera control)

>xbox layout
>thumbs at different positions for classic games
>thumbs at different positions for modern stuff like Souks games
>only ever aligned if you're somehow playing a 3D game without constant camera control
there is no possible justification for the xbox layout.

>asymmetric sticks
>concave sticks
>analog sticks in general

>muh special stick placement for special kids

>I use the face buttons more then I use the camera

I guess it makes sense, since the only game on xbox is Halo and the game just aims for you.

Wireless controllers having input lag is a meme from 10 years ago,modern technology means that it can't possibly be more than a frame or two of lag, if that. And if that much bothers you, I don't know what to say.

>literally useless for emulating anything pre-PS1

Not really, all controllers had their right stick below. The left stick placement barely matters because you dont use the dpad as often. Now, the facebuttons are oretty important. They have always been near the shoulder buttons, people have wrapped around their hands with this principle in mind.

Suddenly nintendo tries to be quirky and unique and puts then both up. It's understandable for the wii u tablet, but not much for the pro controller.

Its as if a popular keyboard brand stopped using qwerty and used something else

>but the sticks are wrong

fuck off, Xbox stick placement feels way better

>trying to switch weapons/items while moving on a DS4
>reaching right thumb ALL THE WAY ACROSS

Actually, that was one of the things I liked the least about using a DS4.

Loved using the touchpad as a mouse driver on PC tho

I don't like wireless for PC because batteries, or charging a controller is an additional step to take that I'm too lazy about. Nothing to do with input lag.

Oh, carry on then.

>emulating anything pre-PS1
sounds like cuckoldry to me. get with the times, gramps.

You can either have input delay or not have input delay. I choose no input delay

Literally why do people prefer wireless? There's no point, you get shitty battery life. Just go wires and batteries are never a concern

>wired

So is this good?

Does anyone actually own one?

Looks comfortable, I might get this the next time my f310 explode.

Do anyone have other recommendation? Bonus point if wireless and doesn`t swap analog and Dpad (like xbone)

Should I get this?

Seems like a good price and has decent reviews.

>>both thumbs on the bottom for new games (left thumbstick and right for camera control)
You have to be in insane denial if you think that's even remotely true. The only games where you use the right stick more than the face buttons are first person shooters, which should never be played with a controller.

>>XBO has good battery life but the sticks are wrong
sonyggers go and stay go

>There's no point, you get shitty battery life
Not all wireless controllers have shit battery life. Wii U pro and steampad both get like 80 hours.
