Why the FUCK don't you own one of these yet?

Why the FUCK don't you own one of these yet?

-only first-party gamepad of the past two generations to have not only a good d-pad, but a GREAT one (although to be fair I haven't tried the xbone or xbone elite)
-perfectly balanced analog sticks that make aiming easier than I thought it could ever be on a controller
-lovely feeling buttons
-comfy as hell to hold
-80 fucking hours of battery life
-the only full gamepad youu should be considering for emulation or platformers, really anything that uses a d-pad

In the name of complete honesty, here are the few flaws I can think of:
-no analogue triggers
-can be easy to slide thumbs around on analogue sticks, can be fixed with gel coverings
-without a $15 dongle, set-up is kind of a bitch on PC
-no wired mode

If you can put up with those, which are by no means dealbreakers, this is the best controller ever made

>no triggers

I already said that buddy, buzz off

I do. It's sitting right next to me. I use it on my PC for emulators and whatnot.

xbone dpad isnt perfect but its 100x better than 360 in thats its actually functional for movement

>Why the FUCK don't you own one of these yet?
>no analogue triggers
That's why.

The xbone D-pad is pretty great. I don't go with other stuff because you have to mess with drivers and whatnot. I do have a wired SNES controller for emulators though

That looks like the perfect pad for me, just wish it had proper wired PC compatibility.

I'm using the xbone controller at the moment, which is okay, but d-pad is too clicky for my taste.

Both DS3 and DS4 are great gamepads, no reason to spend money on another one.

Just buy the dongle that converts it to xinput. I was a wired purist before I got it but I've realized wireless isn't bad at all. There's a 50% chance your input will be detected on the same frame your pressed it, and a like 80% chance it'll be processed on the next. The delay doesn't get much bigger than that unless something's wrong. I'm okay with a thirtieth of a second in delay, it hasn't affected my gameplay at all

The stick layout on that thing is bad.

>h-he doesn't mean it when he hits me! he's still a g-great husband and he loves me
Jesus christ listen to yourself

I'm not even a high volume gamer and both of my DS4's are giving me problems now, mainly the face buttons. Lots of people complain about the sticks but I haven't had any issues there.

I got used to it in no time flat and prefer it to the 360 now, especially for Dark Souls

I agree, pretty underrated controller. I loved the 360 controller but the d-pad was atrocious so I'm glad Nintendo got my back on this one. Only needs analogue triggers and PC compatibility to be perfect.

>no wired
no deal
what's the best wired pad you can get for PC these days anyways?

Its biggest flaw is the glossy front.

I own a Wii U which i give a lot of use
along with many other consoles and this controller is absolutely amazing, especialy for gaming on the Pc, pretty complete controller IMO

>wanting me to buy a cheap toy over the superior 360 and DS3 controller.
Not today shill

>no triggers
>garbage stick layout
>no wired option
it's useless for me

What the fuck does "no triggers" mean

360/Xbone has native compatibility with 95% of games

Comfy controller.

It doesn't have analog triggers it has buttons. WiiU pro controller L2/R2 are just buttons so it's either all on or all off without the possibility of partial input. Think of it like a gas pedal on a car, varying input produces varying output, in this case acceleration. Analog triggers are superior for things like racing games.

What do people actually look for in a dpad?

>Analog triggers are superior for things like racing games.
I won't disagree with you there, the 360 controller is still best for games that need analogue triggers. But for games that don't explicitly need them, the Wii U Pro still wipes the floor

>Why the FUCK don't you own one of these yet?
I don't buy retarded consoles that require you to buy controllers to even try playing the non gimmick based games for the system.

>Buy bluetooth dongle to attach this to my PC since I don't play my PiiU much anymore
>Doesn't work no matter what I do

I've tried every method listed old and new, old drivers and new. It just wont work.

Works on my machine :)

It means the normies who play exclusively racing games and shooters like to pretend they're actually pushing the gas or pulling the gun trigger. It's pretty sad, but controller hardware has been pandering to them for a while now even though a large number of games don't benefit from triggers at all.

-firm, not mushy
-easy to press, easy to slide your thumb from one side to another
-not prone to detecting diagonal input when you're just holding a single direction

Well thankfully for your meme I only spent $5.

Do you retarded Nintendo fanboys ever try OTHER controllers?
The shoulder buttons fucking suck, it has a gloss finish so its slippery and gets dirty super easily, the sticks feel like shit as well as their press down.

The only good thing is the battery life.

Analog triggers are genuinely gimmick tier for everything but driving.

Play Bayonetta on the 360 and then the WiiU. You'll realize how much a pain in the ass analog triggers usually are.

WiinSoft is buggy as hell

>the Switch has patched in Pokken controller support
>Nintendo will never patch in Wii U Pro support
Goddamn it. This controller is borderline perfect.

>DS3

>bad stick placement
>stick deadzones the size of a small pizza
>can't be used without buying a proprietary adapter
>on a dead console

The Wii U didn't use bluetooth.

I'd say the switch pro is better but the dpad pales in comparison to Wii u pro.

The Switch Pro controller is just a slightly worse Xbox One controller with better triggers

>bad stick placement
Only to those not used to it
>stick deadzones the size of a small pizza
wrong, in fact the dead zones are incredibly small, the speed scaling is just perfectly balanced and allows for super precise aiming
>can't be used without buying a proprietary adapter
or downloading a single program, but the controller can be bought for cheap anyways
>on a dead console
doesn't matter at all

>MY toys are better than YOUR toys!!!

DS3 is fucking trash

>Only to those not used to it
I used it a bunch for all of my Wii U games not named Splatoon or Pikmin.
>wrong
Nah, I'm right. The Wii U in general had garbage sticks, There is a noticeable quality increase when using the Switch.
>or downloading a single program
It doesn't use Bluetooth, so you need a Mayflash adapter.
Also, one more negative:
>glossy finish

>$59.99
Fuck that noise.

You could always go wired

Thats literally the cost of all controllers now.

No you couldn't.

>i've never shopped on the internet before

I have one of these and it just werks. Plug it in, press the sync button on the dongle, press the sync button on the controller, and then play.

I did but some smelly smash player stole it at a local a few weeks ago

Yes but is it dinput or xinput? This isimportant. If its dinput its basicly worthless

dinput but this fixes that for you

The little switch on the side of this thing lets you switch between dinput and xinput mode.

I like the steam controller and none of you faggots can convince me otherwise

so gamepad, dongle and dongle 2 + x360ce for every game just to have better dpad? Dont you dare to shill me your nintenyearsold products ever again

What? No. You need nothing but the dongle. No drivers or programs. Just plug it in, press the sync button, and the PC reads it as xinput

I don't care if you buy it or not. I pretty much collect controllers to use with emulators at this point so I was just pointing out the best option I've found to use the Wii U Pro controller with the PC.

Well okay. I have strongly considered thisproduct for over a year now and since my new x360 is dying already this may be a good replacement. How is the analog stick placement, was it easy to adapt to the strange position?

Y-you t-too!

>Pokken controller works caused wired
>Pro wouldn't despite the same method to connect
lol ok

The Wii U Pro doesn't transfer data through the cable.

I'm actually not a fan of the right analog placement because usually the right analog stick is secondary to the action buttons in games. It's very much like using a Dualshock, just with the analog sticks at the top instead of bottom, if that gives you any idea. I'm considering picking up a Switch Pro Controller but I've done zero research on them so far and I don't know how well they work with PCs.

A couple of corrections:
>no analogue triggers
That's actualy a bonus, not a flaw.

>great d-pad
Great indeed, but still slightly less amazing than the very first Classic Controller for the Wii, even though they look the same.
That is THE best d-pad in gaming history.

The fucking battery life is insane

The best d-pad is the Neo Geo stick thing.

I have one but the left trigger took a shit on me after a year. Anyone else have this issue?

How would you claw grip that?

Mine died from playing TW101 too much. I fucking brutalized the right analog stick playing that game.

I have a feeling mine emits a very, very slight imput value to the right even if I'm not touching it.
Supposedly that is not uncommon for analog sticks and most games correct that by having a small threshold until it acknowleges the imput, but if I'm using Joy2Key for games I'm having trouble to have the controller recognized it might make the character constantly try to move in one direction.

It might just be me not knowing how to configure it right, though.

Never used it. Seems a bit weird to me.
Is that a stick? Does that even count as a d-pad at this point?

It's like a stick, but it has definite clicks in 8 directions.

I traded in both of mine towards the switch controller like a dumbass, the Switch's is alright but it doesn't hold up.

That does happen with a lot of analog sticks. The option to fix it is usually called "deadzone". But Joy2Key has one and it calls it "Threshold for Input". Just keep bumping up the deadzone percentage until it stops being a problem.

>no analogue triggers
I hate it for it.
It would be perfect pc gamepad for me.
Love analog setup,I think it got the best d-pad, and plastic have nice feel. But yup... triggers.

But isn't that more like an arcade stick tho?
I'd be curious to try it, but again, I'm not sure if it could be considered a d-pad.

To me, the perfect d-pad has to be very soft, and yet have a tactile click to it.
Also, it's important to have a fixed pivot or axle or whatever you'd call it at the center. There's nothing worse than a d-pad where you press one direction and feel that the perpendicular ones are half-pressed.

Ok thanks for the input. Word is, the deadzones are kinda awekward and two to three other complains. Searching yesterdays threadmight be helpful. I thought about buyig the switch one too since the price is reasonable and the good stigma around the wiiu one but teh review kindaput me off. Good luck hunting anyway

That's very helpful. Specialy because I'm one of those weirdos that prefers to use the analog stick for most 2d games, unless they're really fast paced.
I'll try using this next time.

bad goy

I got input lag because it's blue tooth only

Actually, I own six. Bought two when I got my Wii U, then another four when they shitcanned production and put them at Walmart for $15 new. They're still in the box. If history repeats itself as it does often with Nintendo, controllers will become hard to find.

Most controllers are bluetooth these days. The PS3/PS4 controllers are bluetooth. The Wiimote bluetooth. The Wii U Pro controller is bluetooth. The Xbox One controller is bluetooth.

Sticks and D-pad / buttons are in the wrong place.

You can't plug it in to use it though.

Switch pro controller PC adapter is in the mail, hoping it has little input lag and the x-input mode actually works.

isnt it the same face buttons dpad and sticks of the gamepad? does it have gyro in it? cause that makes aiming a joy

>360 controller is still best for games that need analogue triggers.
Fuck no. The 360's triggers are way too thin while at the same time requiring too much force to press down, so they dig into your fingers and become straight up painful over long gameplay sessions. The Dualshock 2 or 3 is a much better choice since they both have all of the buttons be pressure sensitive which means you can switch between L1/R1 and L2/R2 as you wish.

how does this controller compare to pic related?

How does it connect to PC?
Do I need some kind of third party software or hardware to get connectivity working?

You can't plug the Wii U Pro controller or Wiimote in via USB to use it either.

Switch controller is superior in nearly every way but the d-pad.

Vita d-pad is supreme. I'm still mad they didn't use it for DS4.

my ps4 controller is busted )R2 presses on its own) so now I use my old Wii U pro with cronus max (i bought it to use my old 360 arcade sticks with ps4) and I still think its the best controller of that generation besides the fancy xbone ones.

I imagine this is great because the circle pad on the 3DS already feels pretty nice for 2D games but then you use it for 10 minutes and it becomes slippery bullshit,

the stick layout is objectively shit
if you're used to it you're just used to dealing with shit

>awful triggers
>awful stick placement
>AWFUL button placement

into the trash it goes, Xbox 360 controller reigns king of the land.

>cronus max
any lag?

>the stick layout is objectively shit
The only stick placement on any controller with two analogs that's objectively awful is the Dualshock and that's all of them because they're in such close proximity.

I hate the d-pad on the wired one. Don't know why the wireless one can't just have the same d-pad as the wired.
