/vr/ - Retro Games

On the subject of the m30. I got it yesterday and, used to the SNES pad for everything retro it is a suitable replacement with a few things to keep in mind.
-Input lag wise, no problems there. I have quite a few controllers here and even though I use them mostly wired, this one on wireless performs the about the same. Maybe I'm blessed by not being able to tell lag there but the important thing is that when jumping around the character never feels heavy and I don't have to plan my movements. SMB3 is a fucking breeze on this.
-Pretty damn comfortable to hold, but I have small hands
-The d-pad is really, really responsive and accurate, but doesn't need a lot of mashing. It creaks if you push it too hard, but it doesn't require that amount of strength. I recall someone say that's easily fixed with a drop of sewing machine oil but I'm not sure I want to do this on a new controller.
-Shoulder buttons are better than SNES, but that's because I like them to give me some feedback. I feel the snes ones have barely any. These click a bit.
-The opposite though with the face buttons. They are great compared to most controllers, but I like the SNES ones better. These are soft but still a bit on the clicky side. You can push 2 buttons at once quite easily. This might be good or bad. Start button is kinda hard.
-Xinput and dinput work both pretty decent without a difference other than the home button being just a button on dinput mode.
-Pretty easy to switch between d-pad as d-pad, left or right stick
-Weird initial setup. It took a while for retroarch to recognize the controller in both dinput and xinput modes and when it did, it didn't let me bind shit. After reconnecting other controllers all problems were gone. After using the xbone controller, I had to pair it again. Then I turned them both on and off and the problem is gone. Confusing.

Overall I love it, but I guess people who loved the saturn one would tell me to fuck off, never tried that pad.
