Smooth operation feel with a 4-switch D-pad Familiar game console-style layout Supports XInput and DirectInput
It’s one thing to be a safe bet, but being the strongest depends on the person, doesn’t it?
I went to the electronics store and found one that felt just right when I held it!
>>2
I’ve never seen an electronics store that has samples of controllers, to be honest.
The thread image is cheap and good, but I wish they would do something about the heavy trigger.
It suddenly becomes much better than this.
>>3
I’m interested in the D-pad that Hori recently released with it on top.
Box controller or your favorite one you like.
Isn’t it good to just buy a box controller?
If you’re okay with a China-made product, then Vader4.
The safe choice is the CS one, but if we’re talking about the strongest, the more expensive options might be amazing.
There are people who prefer the configuration with the D-pad on top!
Yet it’s a box controller!
Since I use the D-pad quite a lot, the layout of the stick and D-pad on a box-style controller seems like it would take some getting used to, but I wonder if you can adapt to it after using it.
Should I honestly look for a controller with a PS-type layout?
>>9
It depends on what kind of game we play and whether I can hold the controller properly for Monster Hunter…
If you can’t hold the controller in a way that allows for movement in an important game like Monster Hunter, then the Xbox layout allows you to use the left stick while pressing the D-pad with your right thumb.
If you can do the Monster Hunter grip, then it’s the PS configuration.
If the pro controller would just provide standard support, that would be enough.
>>10
I heard that the 8bitdo Ultimate series is mostly compatible with pro controllers, so I ordered it.
It was surprisingly cheap for 2C.
If it’s the D-pad up, it’s GameSir’s tarantula.
If it’s the D-pad down, then it’s GameSir’s Cyclone2.
I’m using a regular PS4.
I’m fine with a box controller, but recently I’ve been interested in ones with back triggers.
>>14
The ability to carry the negative culture of stick pushing on the back can usually also make that pushing ineffective.
It would be nice if there is at least one pair; the world will change.
I wish the box controller would just work, but for some reason, it often didn’t work well in my environment, so I had no choice but to return it.
No need for vibration…
>>16
Absolutely necessary.
I dislike pushing in the stick because it shortens its lifespan…
The DualShock 4 on the e-commerce site sells out immediately even after being restocked; I wonder if it’s due to the demand from Steam.
I want a small one because it takes up space.
I ordered something that looked small just by the photo, but it was actually huge…
The performance is fine, so I’m using it as is.
I wish all the controllers were just a little bit smaller…
G7SE
In the games I play, analog triggers aren’t necessary.
Where to put the controller is surprisingly difficult, isn’t it?
How is everyone doing?
>>28
I made a place to hang it using a net and hooks bought from a 100 yen shop and arranged it on the side table.
>>29
Since I also do VR, I’m hanging everything on the hook as well.
Convenient because it doesn’t get messy.
>>28
I’m using a wire net from Daiso and a basket that hooks onto it for things I don’t use frequently.
The Switch and PC I’m using are left on the desk.
>>28
I have a controller hook from the 100 yen shop attached to the side of the table.
It’s floating.
I think it would be good to have a box controller with back buttons, but there is also the aspect of being trained to the PS layout.
If it has a charging dock, I’ll either put it on there or put it in a case.
Basically, you just have to buy and try it…
The number of unused controllers is increasing.
>>33
Buying about 2 to 3 pieces to try will help clarify the desired direction.
If you buy about 10, you’ll definitely understand the conditions.
Personally, I prefer the Xbox layout where the D-pad is properly separated into a cross shape, preventing accidental diagonal inputs, with one pair of back buttons and the sticks featuring hall effect sensors.
The ones that matched this were CyclonePro and Cyclone2.
Cyclone2 is amazing… The trigger can be switched between analog and clicky buttons… It can be used on both Mac and smartphones… You can also turn off the vibration if you don’t need it…
Recently, pads are expensive, aren’t they?
I always think I don’t want to buy and try something that costs over ten thousand.
I bought an expensive arcade stick for Steam to try it out.
I’m quite satisfied.
>>38
The hori-con has a tough impression on the D-pad, but how is it?
>>41
It’s hard enough that it won’t respond unless pressed intentionally, but since I don’t use it often, as long as it doesn’t misfire just from a light touch like the 301, I’m okay with that.
So far, there hasn’t been a case where I thought I pushed it but it didn’t respond.
The ones that support DualSense are deliberately using it even with a wired connection.
The vibration function is really excellent, which is a problem.
Models that can change the trigger pull distance are handy.
I’m using Tarantula Pro because it has that mechanism in the PS configuration.
I haven’t used direct before…
I used to think that box consoles were so expensive back in the day.
It is relatively cheaper now.
By the way, Joy-Cons and DualShocks are too expensive.
I’m using the PS2 controller converted with that converter.
I don’t even remember how many years I’ve been using it, thinking I would replace it if it broke.
>>47
It’s exactly the same environment.
I thought the base of the 3D stick was worn down too much to be usable, so I bought replacement parts.
https://hori.jp/products/hpc/hpc-061/hpc-062/
How about this?
>>49
I don’t think having it is a bad thing.
But I’m not using it because the distance between ABXY and the stick is slightly farther than on the box controller.
>>49
I don’t quite feel comfortable with the stick, but I think it’s fine as long as I don’t use it.
>>49
I’m using the straight type, and it’s pretty good.
I just feel like the stick is overly sensitive.
>>49
No issues using it for Monster Hunter.
Originally, I am not a fan of using gyros or vibrations, so this is just right.
Having back buttons is convenient when playing recently complicated games.
If you are comfortable with the controls, having a gyro can also be useful.
The controller I’m most comfortable with so far is the Pro Controller, so I’m having a hard time finding a PC pad.
You can use a box controller, but…
>>51
Why not just buy a pro controller?
>>52
I’m looking for games that I have but can’t use.
>>51
You can use it normally with Steam, and you can also make it usable outside of Steam, so why not use a Pro Controller?
>>54
I tried using a certain social game to launch from Steam and make it compatible with a pro controller.
I ended up quitting because it was too much trouble.
>>61
It would be fine to convert it to Xinput without needing to use Steam, so there are various other options.
Buying rewasd is very convenient.
>>51
I also like Pro Controllers, but the highest performance ones that are closest and easy to switch to are Cyclone 2nd and 8bitdo Ultimate.
I really like the Dualsense, but is there a good PS layout out there?
>>57
It might be the tarantula pro.
The need for back buttons won’t disappear until the crazy bad habit of pressing to dash goes away…
If it’s wired, it was the GameSir Kaleido model.
Wireless is hard to describe.
I bought the budget version of Vader’s Direwolf, but I’m still unsure about how to install the driver app.
From the perspective of cost-performance, I think the image in the thread is the best.
It’s generally available at most electronics retailers and easy to obtain.
There are games that have not implemented in-game key configuration no matter how long it takes, and their button layouts are strange, so back buttons are convenient.
It’s an Elcon.
I’m interested in Tarantula Pro, but from what I’ve seen in reviews, it feels like if you get a defective one, it’s just tough luck.
>>67
If it’s a dongle problem, you’ll be fine if you apply the old firmware.
I want a controller based on the Steam Deck.
They used to release controllers back in the day, you know.
The 8bitdo micro or zero2 was very useful for Jiko, so please continue to improve and release it as is…
The button on the box controller died, so I had to replace it.
>>74
In that case, it might be worth buying iFixit’s essential tools to check the situation.
>>79
It’s a good opportunity, so I switched to the Gamesir Cyclon Pro, which seems to be more durable.
I am very satisfied so far.
I switched from the thread image to a box controller before, but I got used to the different layout of the directional keys fairly quickly.
The HORI OCTA PRO hasn’t had any information released since last year’s game show.
I wonder how things are going now.
>>76
2/12
For now, the era of box controllers is over.
>>77
This is what you really call an “end of an era.”
I feel like the decision for the Nezicon was made last year.
I have a few 360 controllers.
I wonder if someone could make a one-handed controller.
If you can’t do the Monster Hunter grip, the stress is overwhelming, so I can only use the PS layout.
Why can’t Wiles control the camera with the D-pad?
8bitdo has a lot of designs that make you want to make an impulse buy…
Because the price is reasonable
>>84
I impulsively bought a Famicom-style one.
I feel like the box controller is somewhat malfunctioning, so I’m thinking of buying a new one, but since it’s still usable, I’m just letting it be.
Maybe when it breaks, I’ll think, “Why didn’t I buy it? I can’t play games today.”
I’m grateful that First has a good selection of repair parts.
Before I knew it, I started changing the color of the case and buttons based on my mood.
It’s better to avoid this because the submarine will sink.
I’m wondering whether to buy a Tarantula for PC or to use the DualSense.
I broke my PS4 controller and experienced using a box controller for the first time.
The clicking sound is so loud, I can’t get used to it.
During the pandemic, it was hard to get a gamepad and they were expensive.
It’s better than then, but it’s still expensive.
Even though the box controller is still big, it’s disappointing that using two fingers for L2 and R2 makes it feel like it might slip off.
It seems like it would change quite a bit just by making the bulge of the gripping part smaller.
>>93
From the old box controllers, they gradually became smaller and evolved into the current box controllers.
The DS became closer to the box controller by making the grip thicker when it transitioned from DS4 to DualSense.
I think it’s probably a judgment that this is how things are seen in the world.
>>93
That’s exactly because the thread image is designed from an era that didn’t consider using L2 and R2 as the main controls.
If you try to mainly use it in a 3D game, it’s really hard to hold…
I’m not used to the box-shaped ones, so I want a PS type. Is there anything good?
It’s calm now, but there was a time when I couldn’t buy Victrex due to the demand for fighting games…
Since the controller can’t swap out basic parts.
When I think about how the moment you buy something is the peak and then it gradually deteriorates afterwards…
I feel that it’s good to have multiple ones, for rough use and for careful use.
>>96
(The person who took care of it dies first.)
There is a sort of syndrome where you hesitate to buy something expensive because you don’t want to dislike it after spending a considerable amount.
Once you actually start using it, you generally get used to it.
I tried buying the Victrix Pro BFG in search of the strongest, but the shoulder buttons are not mappable, and the trigger buttons feel a bit awkward to use, so I’m feeling unsure about it…
When I switched from a pro controller to a box controller, I didn’t understand the difference in how to hold it and my fingers were stiff.
When you compare it to things like the DS or third-party controllers, you realize that the original really is well-made.
It seems that the announcement for the successor to the octa will finally be on the 12th, and I’m looking forward to it.
I want someone to make a proper DS4 clone.
It’s not uncommon for there to be a mix of hits and misses, and for them not to last long.
In that case, I hesitate because it’s expensive.
Even though I was able to transition normally with the DualSense, for those who say it can’t be done unless it’s the DS4, what specifically didn’t fit about the DualSense for you?
>>106
The grip feels too big, and as a result, it feels uncomfortable; specifically, it’s the part that touches my index finger.
The play of the L1R1 triggers is too loose and feels uncomfortable.
Just a personal opinion.
>>113
Sorry, it’s the middle finger part, not the index finger.
I’m thinking of going with the GameSir Tarantula Pro next.
Is there going to be a minor change in spring? It seems like there might be.
Well, controllers are consumables, so if they’re expensive, it makes me hesitate to play.
So I really wish the trend of rising prices for recent home gaming console controllers would stop.
The big button in the middle of the PS4 is super easy to press…
I seriously can’t find a substitute for this.
The stick is increasing in HE, but when the buttons will stop working is somewhat a matter of luck.
It seems that you can’t use a controller with a converter on the PS5 even if the controller itself has a gyro, but isn’t the Edge the only one that has both the back buttons and gyro with PS5 certification?
Use the 3COINS Switch Pro Controller compatible device on PC.
Gamesir has a lot of varieties, and I can’t tell which is which.
For now, something like Cyclone2 seems good.
On the contrary, what would be something that has extremely high performance without caring about the price?
>>119
Erikon
>>119
Maybe something like the nacon revolution5?
Do you hold it with both your index and middle fingers on LR?
It’s probably tough to maintain and not expected.
I bought a wireless box controller, but it’s a hassle to put in batteries and connect via Bluetooth, so I was thinking of buying a battery and dongle, but the official ones are completely sold out…
Is there anyone using unofficial ones on the nun?
>>121
To be honest, dongles are more of a hassle and we don’t need them.
>>123
I see… I’ll just try buying a rechargeable battery, thank you.
>>128
It will become easier, but it also gets quite heavy, so be careful.
Personally, I recommend rechargeable batteries.
I still can’t forgive the stupidity of MHF recommending the Xbox controller while the game only supports DirectInput in the first place.
>>125
You don’t need to say that much about a game that’s already dead…
It’s a shame that Tarantula Pro has a membrane switch.
I have a full set of original controllers, but the only one I’m using wirelessly is the Pro controller.
If I break the Erikon, I’ll probably be upset.
But I wonder if those who buy that kind of thing don’t care.
Besides the genuine upper models
Razer’s Wolverine V3 and Flydigi Apex 4.
It’s tough that I really want the stick to be on the bottom, but it’s always the box controller layout.
>>134
To be honest, you can just buy a PS controller if you want… That’s where it stands.
I can’t do anything unless I have a box controller layout.
If both sticks are down, the body is not balanced.
Are there any racing games that can be enjoyed a bit better without a racing wheel?
>>137
Gyro or something?
I thought about it with the arcade controller, but why is Nacon so aggressive with their pricing… The specifications are just the same as what Matte Cats and other brands already have, and there aren’t any standout features…
I’m curious about the Turtle Beach’s adjustable top surface that can be rotated, but it’s expensive and I’m concerned about its durability, so I can’t bring myself to buy it.
The ones that are called “Monhan hold” or “Crow hold” too.
Since it can be done regardless of the box placement, it’s just a matter of the person’s familiarity.
My strongest is DS2, but I’ll settle for DS4.
The box controller was difficult to use with the stick, and the buttons were too stiff, so it didn’t suit me.
