Does /jp/ use gamepads for their shmups? If so, what kind? Using ps3 controller here, but feels kind of clumsy when it comes to precise movements. In before keyboardfags

I use a keyboard, but now that I bought a wired XBox 360 controller I'm tempted to plug it in, configure the button mapping and see how it handles.

Yeah, I use a controller. It's not that bad, man.

my dexterity is terrible, and I can't use a keyboard worth a shit

keyboard is better for touhou, but I've been using a gamepad lately sometimes. I can't find a good focus button. Settled on L1.

I've used my lovely gamepad in the past, but I never went back once I grew used to using my keyboard. Feels precise, man. Even though I still suck.

I use a PS2 controller and square for focus, with x as bomb and a shoulder button as fire works pretty well.

It has been 15 years and I will never get used to firing with a shoulder button. Run 'n Gun is the best.

OP here
Joystick sounds kind of attractive since it's hard to 'tap' a gamepad stick with just your thumb.. I have a hard time doing the pixel by pixel adjustments for certain spellcards. Keyboard is kind of a wash because I'm trying to avoid another bad flare of carpal tunnel 400 days played mmorpg time feels great on your hands

also forgot to ask: are you linking a specific joystick you are recommending or just making a general statement?

Keyboardfag here, why are stage 4's of hard mode so frustrating?

[Anonymous No.]

I use a PS2-clone pad from Logitech. Square is fire, X is focus, R1 is bomb. The D-pad is precise enough for fighters, so it works well for shmups. Although for spell cards that require a lot of circular movement, I usually jump down to the analog stick, which never disappoints.

Stage 4s are always "loli kill u now" stages. They have the most bullshit screen filling waves of bullets.

Time investment.

First response to the multiple input issue on the keyboard was to use a speedpad, and I've stayed with that ever since. Considering picking up a stick because of the hassle in quickly changing directions moving up/down, among other things.

No issues with circular movements but that only pertains to grazewhoring Deadly Dance. I haven't even attempted the circling shit coa pulls off on the Marisa-C Extra run.

I like PS2 controllers the best (I'm assuming that's the same as PS3). The analog toggle gives you the most control. If you want to get really serious get yourself a sanwa stick. I have one myself, but I've never found a responsive enough usb toggle to make it worth it.
