/vr/ — Shit controllers vs. underrated controllers

>>12632081

Forgot post lol. PC Engine, beautiful awesome console, shit controller. NES but somehow an even worse d-pad. Some of it's that consoles were, at this time, designed mainly for children. So the d-pad & buttons are sized for the thumbs of a tiny Japanese boy.

Jaguar controller gets a bad rap because it looks unccomfortable, and is assumed to be, by people who never held one. It's actually very comfortable & ergonomic, except for the mushy d-pad on the OG 3-button. The pro mostly fixes this, also adding shoulder buttons. The number pad gets clowned on but was genuinely useful in complex games.

The Japanese Sega Saturn controller is absolute perfection, unsurpassed before or since. Only Sega perfected d-pads. Clicky shoulder buttons, ergonomic shape, improvement on this ideal is impossible.

>Weird mushroom cap analogue stick (at least it was hall effect).
>Very raised, sharp dpad that can be painful to use for extended sessions.
>Start button too far down.
>Cord comes out the bottom and the slot to attach it to the top isn't reliable.
And the worst sin of all:
>Has less than half the buttons of the PS1 Dualshock.
I could forgive Sega for the lack of a second stick, but only having two shoulder buttons and one start button in 1999 was a disastrous choice for the future of the DC's library. For such a forward thinking console this was a controller straight out of 1996.

ss for 2d
wired 360 for 3d
all i need

>>12632093
I don't think it's that bad
>>12632103
Not sure why they changed it for the US market
>>12632187
To be fair the GameCube came after the Dreamcast and it only has one shoulder and no select. At least I can give them some points for originality

>>12632187
The worst part is that they removed two buttons from the 3D Saturn pad. Just incomprehensible the thought process behind that.

It gets a lot of hate for the battery life, and that's fair, but now whenever I emulate PS1 or PS2 this is my favorite pad.

These were my exact thoughts on this thing, though I recall hearing 8bitdo's release (which is the one I had an opportunity to use) might be to blame.

For fighting games its good but for stuff like Magician Lord it can be like that, still its not so bad its ruins the game. For me I found diagnosis a bit hard to do, it almost needs gamecube or n64 style ridges. I didn't get cramps form this but got them from the DC controller.

underrated
3DO controller, it has an unjustified bad reputation. In reality the d-pad is like a mix between snes and genesis in a good way. L and R like snes but face buttons like Sega, contoured back makes it more comfortable than snes. Its like a half step to ps1.

It gets a lot of hate because the Dualsense (and the DS4) has an entire middle part of it (the touchpad) that is completely useless for 99% of games, and basically bloats the price of the controller.
If there was a version of the Dualsense and DS4 that didn't have a touchpad and didn't have other unnecessary shit like gyro or haptic feedback, it wouldn't have to be anywhere higher than 35-40 bucks in price.

I like how I can use the mouse on my laptop with the lid closed just by flicking and clicking the touchpad though, it's useful to me.

>>12632103
I dont care for the feel of the shoulder buttons.

Love how the buttons feel and sound on this bad boy. The L and R buttons have this mechanical keyboard feel that's just so fucking good. The D-pad is incredible too. I'm not a fan of symmetrical sticks, so for more modern games I'll use the Switch Pro Controller, even though it has a lot (A FUCKING LOT, this thing paired with a Wiimote has virtually no lag on a Wii, like 1ms or less) more input lag. But everything else about this controller is just incredible. My favorite Nintendo controller of all time, better than the SNES controller, in my opinion.

>8BitDo out of nowhere
Are you ok, retard?

>>12636175

>I was so careful with it and the fucking cable stopped working anyway
mine's got bite marks and still works. ya probably broke a solder point inside the controller.
