Yeah, sorry, I'm a :freeze-gamer: please forgive me, it's my biggest lib flaw. :deeper-sadness:
I don't want to spend more then like $70 so please don't recommend the Xbox Elite controller or anything.
It's mostly for emulation but I do play Dark Souls and Monster Hunter on occasion so it needs to be somewhat responsive.
Wait. You can use the switch pro controller with a PC?!
FUCK I'm stupid :data-laughing:
I've been playing BOTW and TOTK with a PS4 controller and the motion controls work perfectly
The buttons might be switched onscreen from what you're actually pushing, because they tend to register like Xbox controllers, but it's something you can muscle memory past
There are mods to replace the button prompts with your controller-correct ones if that interests you.
Yeah and use Steam Big Picture to set it up how you like. Like I unclicked the checkbox so the A/B/X/Y buttons are in xbox positions. For non-steam games I add the executable file to the steam library and launch from there.
If you come over you can borrow my Mad Catz controller with the cheese dust embedded in all the cracks that constantly drifts left (like me).
I went with the 8BitDo Pro 2 because I wanted to have the D-pad on the outer left side (as opposed to closer to the middle of the controller you know) for fighting games and retro games and such. The 8BitDo ultimate seems really neat as well, if you want the "standard" layout.
This is what I use, and like. It has a decent D-Pad, in a good location. I can also easily use it on my Switch.
I bought a steam controller for $5 when they were getting rid of stock. It’s good because for some games I can use the back buttons to do run or jump while still being able to move my camera. Also mouse joystick is neat when the game cooperates and doesn’t switch the button UI
But it’s not popular so there aren’t too many guides out there unlike the Xbox and DualShock. If you like tinkering to get the perfect setting, it’s neat. Otherwise it’s a pain in the ass.
if it had a real d-pad instead of the left touchpad, it would be perfect
also, while I'm dreaming, the only good a/b/x/y layout was the Gamecube so give it that too
if it had a real d-pad instead of the left touchpad, it would be perfect
:yea: I mostly play fighting games these days so I almost always use my Switch Pro controller even though I like the Steam controller more (I'm not tryhard enough to get a hitbox).

Damn, what are first party controllers going for nowadays, eighty bu---ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FUCKING DOLLARS?! Yeah, I'll stick to my DualShock 4, thanks...
The ds4 has peak hand feel. As much as I want the ds5 haptics, I’m willing to wait. Ridiculous pricing.
How much is one of these PlayStation controllers anyway if they're so much cheaper, only for- TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS???
Bro check out the X Box Elite controller price.
It costs more then my 3DS did
I mean to be fair, the normal controller is only like $60 and is still solid, more than good enough for all but the most "hardcore" gamers, you're looking at the xX360noscopePROgamerXx controller
Switch Pro Controller and one of those Mayflash adapters
If you spend less than $70 total I guarantee what you get will be a total piece of shit. Spend a little more to get something decent.
Logitech Gamepad F310. Its cheap, but pretty durable, and functions well enough for everything I have used it for.
Felt quite big for my tiny hands personally. Awkward for holding triggers.
idk, i have pretty small hands and it felt okay, but I also use claw grip sooo XD
This is my go-to for emulators since it supports both DirectInput and XInput modes via the switch on the back, so it plays nicely with SNES9x, D-pad fuckiness aside.
8bitdo ultimate is my favorite controller and cheaper than the official console controllers
Holy shit. I feel like Australia is what you get when you combine the worst parts of :amerikkka: and :eu-cool:.
I'll also go with the 8bitdo Ultimate. I have the wired Xbox version and it might be the best controller I've ever used, thinking about getting the newer 2.4 GHz version to use with PC and Steam Deck. There's also a wired non-Xbox version if you want to save money and don't care about wireless. The cord on the Xbox version is really long, and I'm assuming the same is true for the PC one.
All the versions are around $35-50, most likely much more expensive in dollarydoos, but affordable for the quality.
PS4 controller? Should be cheaper now that the ps5 is out.
You can use the touchpad as mouse, witch is nice. The DS4 for Windows software should help for the very few, if any, games that have issues. It also has motion sensors in it, if you play any games that use them, and a 3.5mm headphone out.
i use a ps4 controller and a wii-u pro controller
i don't know how much they cost in aussie dollars, but could try looking for a second-hand one? they are pretty durable in my experienceedit: you can pick up a ps4 controller at JB Hi-Fi for $79 apparently
edit2: ebay australia has wii u ones for ~$35, ps4 ones for ~$45
dunno how bad shipping will be, australia sure is big
