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.
Logitech Gamepad F310. Its cheap, but pretty durable, and functions well enough for everything I have used it for.
Yeah, it is solid.
Is the d-pad good for platformers?
Platformers, yes. Fighting games, ehhhhh...
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.
