Mostly looking for a decent quality anyway in regards to button quality and comfort but the main thing is a good analogue stick with no dead zone and it means it. I mostly want it to play f zero x where tilt is crucial. Aside from that just generally decent is fine, but I need a good fidelity stick
That or something I can do to get a ps3 controller working on my computer thst isn't also a bunch of malware
One of these ones, probably. https://shop.8bitdo.com/collections/hall-effect-edition-new
Hall effect is the word I was looking for. One of them is probably it
Just chiming in to say that my 8bitdo Ultimate which is less than a year old and has seen only mild use has stick problems. In particular, the max movement it can detect diagonally up and to the right is ~60% on the left stick. This can be corrected in *software, and resets if I disconnect and reconnect the controller. It's also had other issues, such as freezing inputs occasionally, or weirder things that are probably down to compatibility like occasionally just reading false A-inputs on its own but only in the upgrade select screen in Holocure, or interpreting "A" as "A, down, A, up" in one of the merchant screens for Halls of Torment.
Good to know.
I'm using an XBX1 controller and already had to replace one of the stick's little sensors (no soldering). I believe the mechanical sticks should have better dead zones but I'm imagining only slightly at this point and drift sucks so much that it's worth to get hall effect sticks.
