DualSense = best controller. Really hope to see more support and transparency for some of its more unique features on PC.
I've never liked PlayStation controllers. They look terrible and the joysticks on the same line have never felt good to me. Xbone ones are so much comfier imo.
Valid opinion! I like how it looks and the joystick position is comfortable for me, but that's why it's good to have choices.
Yeah I love the adaptive triggers. Which more games used them better.
My only problem with DualSense is fact the L3 and R3 buttons are too squishy and unreliable.
Interesting-- I find that too, but I've felt that way about every controller. Do you have any in mind that you think do it better?
Yeah the 8BitDo Ultimate is perfect IMO, it's like a cross between a DualSense and an Xbox controller, even has hall effect sticks, so no drift.
Oh, I like that brand! I have a few of their SNES-but-with-sticks controllers for couch co-op and they've been really good for how cheap they were. Will definitely consider giving the Ultimate a try.
Eh not really. I find it's uncomfortable and it's missing what I deem to be crucial features in 2023 such as hall effect sticks, mechanical face buttons, trigger stops and rear buttons.
Not features I've thought much about. I'd definitely prefer to have rear buttons but haven't felt that I've missed them. I'd also definitely try Hall effect sticks and mechanical buttons-- I don't think they'd make much of a difference to me, but maybe if I tried them, I'd never go back :)
Do you have a controller in mind that has the same features as DualSense (gyro, trackpad, adaptive triggers...) and also has the features that you mentioned?
Dualsense edge(the expensive elite controller for PS) has everything except hall effect sticks. The stick modules themselves are replaceable and iirc gulikit said they'll make hall effect ones
Same. I never really cared until I used them and now I can't go back. Unfortunately there's no one true perfect controller for me. I don't think there are any controllers outside of Sony that reallt have a trackpad. My go to controller at the moment is the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro which has the hall effect sticks, rear buttons and mechanical face buttons but the remapping software is next to useless and the gyro isn't as strong as a DualSense.
Oh nice, it looks like a really good controller-- I'll wishlist it and maybe pick one up if my DualSense starts drifting :)
