My DS3 is dying and i need a new controller to play on the PC.
Want something that will work hassle free, plug and play, so i'm thinking to buy either the 360 one or the ONE one.
Which would you people recommend out of those two? Or any other really.

Xbone controller is the GOAT
360 is a close second
call me a manlet, but for games like dark souls using the shoulder buttons much, a ds4 is the best choice, pair it up with scp toolkit, and it's a pretty solid plug 'n play
Xbone is miles better. Much stiffer buttons, an actual dpad, sticks are less likely to be worn down and more comfortable triggers. It's basically a 360+.
I can't stand the xbone bumpers.
Xbone unless you're a poorfag.
At this point DS4 is plug and play with Inputmapper.
Out of those two? Get the newer version of the Xbone controller since you can actually use it wirelessly with normal bluetooth and wired works too if you prefer that.
DS4 is great too.
>Want something that will work hassle free, plug and play
DS4
Steam natively supports it.
xbox one controller if you have huge hands
if not get a DS4/DS3
Or you could get a MS controller which is supported natively by damn-near everything and doesn't have those shit sticks and Dpad
That's a pretty convincing argument.
What if i have huge hands? Not fat, just straight up big hands.
I've used SCP to get the DS3 to work, and it's pretty great, but i couldn't get it to work over bluetooth more than once and had to uninstall and reinstall the drivers every other day for some reason...
That pretty much sold it for me then.
The thing about the DS4 is that i didn't like the sticks and bumpers when i held it. Too small for me.
That i do.
Both of these
This one doesn't have vibration: powera.com

The One™ one works very good on my Windows 10 PC.
Just get an Xbone controller, DS4 is shit
>The One
Major Nelson pls.
>an actual dpad
The Xbone controller's d-pad is fucking garbage. Not as bad as the 360's, but that doesn't mean it's good. Even pulling off a basic fireball motion with it is unreliable.
>What if i have huge hands? Not fat, just straight up big hands.
The DS4 is unequivocally physically bigger than the xbone controller, so I don't know how it can feel smaller than the xbone controller.
The only people who say that are retards who have never tried it.
Also, the DS4 has a trackpad which is endlessly useful as a controller for the PC.
>Or you could get a MS controller which is supported natively by damn-near everything
More than half of PC releases don't support controllers at all.
Even a substantial amount of console ports like Mass Effect don't have proper controller support.
That is where the Steam Controller comes in to remedy that and the best supplement for it is the DS4 with its touchpad.

don't know about your bloetooth problem, ds4windows is pretty good now, doesn't require you to restart steam anymore. also, i have (i think) large hands, it fits alot better than a ds3
>The thing about the DS4 is that i didn't like the sticks and bumpers when i held it. Too small for me.
The DS4 is larger than the XBOX HUEG Duke controller.
fuck, i failed the simplest of greentexts
I have an xbox one controller. I love it. D-pad is a massive improvement over the 360 controller.
>Want something that will work hassle free, plug and play
If your on windows 7 you just need to download the drivers from microsoft but if that is considered too much of a hassle you shouldn't be on PC anyway. Its straight plug and play with windows 10 I believe.
Any game I have used on it has worked perfectly never had to do any further configuration after installing the drivers.
the Xbox™ One™ contr is slick
>More than half of PC releases don't support controllers at all.
I have not come across a game released in the last few years did not have controller support.
Older games obviously you have to do some tinkering to get them to work.
damn that´s a sexy shade of pink
what's the cheapest I'd have to spend to get a Xbone controller?
Well, i have tried it and as i said in another post, the problem for me wasn't the size of the controller itself, but the R2/L2 and sticks
Yeah, what i just said
It depends if you like a clicky d-pad.
The Xbox One controller is the best thing out of this generation. No gimmicks just better technology than the rest.
If a game does support controllers it'll support the XBox controllers. The newer S version works with bluetooth so I don;t think you need the Microsoft dongle. Think you still need Win10 though.
do not buy the xbone controller, the shoulder buttons are complete shit. They can only be clicked at the outer ends. It's like a bikes brake, it's easy to press down at the end and much harder the further up
You really should try the xbone pad, then just to see how you like those triggers.
Because they're even worse. You have to press the fucking things at an angle or they're supremely uncomfortable.
$35 from well-credited sellers, about $30 or a bit more if you get it from independent sellers with shakier credibility.
Are you crippled or retarded? The dpad is a basic Nintendo dpad with tactile switches. Much like what is on the 3ds.
>If a game does support controllers it'll support the XBox controllers.
this sounds like a good thing until you realize microsoft did that by strongarming directinput out of the market
>I have not come across a game released in the last few years did not have controller support.
XCOM 2 - released 2016 - no controller support
DOOM - released 2016 - only partial controller support
And that's just the console ports.
PC players are to poor to afford wireless controllers and Bluray drives, so gamedevs don't bother with anything beyond mouse and keyboard and digital-only releases.
Your point being that's not shit?
Because if yes, you're the crippled person here.
Sonygger here, the Xbone controller is the most comfy
Xcom 2 was a PC exclusive for a while. And it does have controller support.
The heck you on about.
And "partial" controller support usually just means controller support.
The xbox one s controller has bluetooth now. Get that one
>And that's just the console ports.
Why would you play either game with a controller, and neither of those games are console ports.
>PC players are to poor to afford wireless controllers and Bluray drives
Are you retarded?
PC history has shown that companies need to adapt a standard and Sony/Nintendo wont for PC.
You're an idiot. It's a direct copy of a Nintendo dpad with tactile switches. How the fuck does neo/v/ find that bad? I'm series. How?
>this sounds like a good thing until you realize microsoft did that by strongarming directinput out of the market
DirectInput is just Microsoft's API used for Standard USB HID game controllers everyone except Microsoft uses. There are no "DirectInput" controllers.
The fact is that "Xinput" PC games only support Microsoft's proprietary (non-standard USB) controllers, where manufacturers have to pay Microsoft license fees to make their controller Xbox-compatible.
It's just typical MS: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
I detest the L1-R1 buttons on the Xbone pad.
DS4>360>Xbone
>Why would you play either game with a controller
Because playing video games with a typewriter sucks.
>and neither of those games are console ports.
Of course they are. Every contemporary buy2play game is, because consoles are where the money is.
It's slightly more expensive than the normal black one but i'm actually pondering going with it.
But at the same time i can't really convince myself to spend an extra 10€ for a slight colour change that i might get sick of in a few days.
>Of course they are. Every contemporary buy2play game is, because consoles are where the money is.
Xcom 2 was PC exclusive and just came out on consoles. ID always develops games for PC first.
Again your retarded.
>PC history has shown that companies need to adapt a standard
Microsoft's Xbox controllers are proprietary.
All other controllers conform to the USB standard.
The Xbone controller is complete trash and you'd also need a wireless USB adaptor to use one on PC. Burns through batteries like a motherfucker and breaks easily. DS4 and 360 controller are both much, much better. They can just be plugged in directly and aren't wasteful battery hogs.
>I detest the L1-R1 buttons on the Xbone pad.
They are called LB and RB.
Not their layout and few games support that. Not like you plug in a Nintendo Pro controller and Windows detects it as a Nintendo Pro controller.
The new version works with Bluetooth, so no dongle required.
>Xcom 2 was PC exclusive and just came out on consoles.
You meant it was on Early Access on PC just like DiRT Rally before going through console certification.
>ID always develops games for PC first.
They don't do that anymore since RAGE. John Carmack himself confirmed that.
Get the one with the rechargeable battery?
also
>wireless
Just get wired and never have to pay for batteries.
Another DS3.
It takes literally 5 min and a bluetooth dongle to get it working as an Xbox pad on Windows.
Who cares? The Xbone ones are fucking awful.
You just need a USB cable to make it wired.
And that's how i'll probably use it most of the time.
Are you retarded? Xbox controllers are proprietary, need proprietary drivers and any compatible third party controller needs to pay license fees to Microsoft for their proprietary implementation.
All that completely unneeded, because we a already had a perfectly working USB game controller standard, which still everyone except Microsoft uses (even Sony uses it now with the DS4).
>Xcom 2
>Early access
>Console certification takes 6 months
Ok.jpg
I'm done replying your just shitposting retarded crap at this point.
The xbox controller is narrower than the 360 towards the top and the sticks seem a little flimsy. Other than that it's pretty good.
That was fixed pretty quickly after the first batch. The second generation of the controllers were pretty good. Third generation with bluetooth seems to have a little qc issue, I've found a controller with pisspoor shoulder buttons, not broken, but the switch feels a bit naff, might be a one off.
Two years playing pc game with this...
This is true, the lb and rb buttons are terrible compared to the ds4. The ds4 also has a better dpad and mouse control on the touchpad.
Everything else however is better on the xbone controller
>need proprietary drivers
It's literately (not the meme) in the Win10 updates... All Win10 computers have the drivers.
Oh man you mean?... don't say... You mean Nintendo and Sony have to go through the same process as every company does in the world to get a driver verified on Windows? The audacity of Microsoft! We need to start a petition to change this.
My xbone controller works fine on windows 7 out the box.
>neo/v/
Stopped reading there, if you solemnly believe that anything you don't like is part of some kind of neo resistance that infested this site you should just kill yourself right now.
Hard to explain hating a Nintendo dpad any other way.
Get a wired Xbone controller
So there's nothing like the Xbox HUGE controller? I have 18.5 cm hands and I find the Xbone and DS4 controller to be small.
haha
It's funny because he had already put out his argument before he mentions "neo/v/" at the very end of his post.
