/vr/ - Retro Games

I love my Saturn and my DC, but not only do I think both of them are somewhat iffy controls I also actively dislike the Saturn 3d controller.

the DC controller feels super light and kinda chintzy, the d pad is squishy, and the angles on the back where you grip it all feel somewhat harsh. also the feel of the action on the triggers feels a bit grindy but perhaps brand new they didn't feel that way? I only got into DC in the mid 2000s. it's functional though, and it doesn't feel like my hands are resisting actively fleeing from it.

the Saturn controller on the other hand doesn't seem like it was made for human hands to grasp, it feels like grabbing a cereal bowl. also I've never really felt like the analog stick was comfy--maybe it's just me, but even with my large hands it always feels like pushing all the way up on it is overextending my thumb, or at least forcing my hand into a strange position, and the sheer travel distance on the thing just ends up feeling like a lot of wasted effort. I don't get where the acclaim comes from, I really only bring it out for Nights or when I'm playing multiplayer and I give it to player 2.
