I don't know but DualShock 4 was such an abortion of a controller. I know you have to innovate on the original DualShock shape but those nub grips were not it. Glad they righted the ship with DualSense.

>>10717102
Some might disagree, but this controller is excellent. I've been using it to play the classics like War Gods and Razor Freestyle Scooter on the 64

This thing is great but it isn't universal since it only has one thumbstick.

Hori makes a few

will this work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6sLjq_zjTo

You're eating too many carbs at night, anon.

>>10717102
I'm convicend it will be faster learning how to do one myself than waiting for some company to do it for me

>>10717109
I like both, though when I finally got to use my friend's DualSense for a proper playing session, the thing felt much better than I though, it just feels like a XBOX controller, which I like the feel of, but with the PlayStation button layout, that I think is perfect for retro overall, need to get one.

>>10717249
That's alls you need, a single stick and six buttons.

>>10717102
there isn't a universal retro controller and there never will be
closest you'll get in feel and general usage for basically everything is a 8bitdo pro 2
for anything you feel isn't suitable you may as well go out of your way to buy a controller for that specific system you want to emulate

>>10718187
Do it anon. I bought an extra with my PS5, my wife wanted one for some emulator stuff she plays, every time I pick one up I'm tempted to get another color. I'm holding out in case they do a transparent or a classic grey with classic multicolor face buttons. Sony is a hardware company afterall, they really hit it out of the park here, probably the best part of this generation for them is the controller.

Got one of these thinking it'd be great for fightan games, but it is a lightweight, cheaply made hunk of shit. Binging different controls in retroarch is a fucking headache, too.

InterAct Hammerhead, the DIGITAL version still works on Windows 10.

>>10717249
It would be perfect for anything worth playing prior to the PS3 era. And you dont need 6 buttons for anything after that

Isn't there some fighting game controllers that have six face buttons for street fighter or whatever? Use that.

>>10718635
Triggers not analog.

>>10717102
>retro games are niche
No

>>10718580
I'm still mad about this. I was hyping for a dual analog Saturn controller ever since I saw picrel but when it eventually came out they ruined it by having shifty flat sticks. I know their excuse was bigger sticks might get in the way of buttons, but that's a skill issue I'd be willing to take the time to adapt to, plus they could have placed the sticks lower too.

>>10719480
Those giant sticks are abominable tumors on the Hellenistic perfection of the Saturn controller. Cry more.

>>10717904
It was a stock pic from google but thanks

>>10718580
this should ve been good ..
l and r being hardwired to c and z is so bad
being wireless only is so bad

>>10719549
>Has a usb c port
>firmware could easily be upgraded to be able to use it
>mfw retrobit give no fucks and the controller will be stuck on 1.0 forever

>>10717102
This looks decent but it doesn't have 6 buttons on the face if that's what you meant. You have 6 button when you include the bumpers.

>>10717102
Probably the best

>>10717102
No name brand. Top buttons looks a little to easy to accidently hit.

Whatever you go for, make sure it's 2.4ghz. Bluetooth sucks.

>>10719781
Love this thing great quality stuff highly recommended

>>10719781
I think the assignment was a controller with 6 frontal buttons for N64 and Saturn, that one doesn't look like it has an analog stick for N64 games. Looks nice for fighting game stuff though.
I think that's the issue, controllers either have good analog positions and no 6 frontal buttons or 6 buttons or lacking analog. There isn't a really good universal answer.
I used my Sidewinder pad for ages until I started playing games that needed analog so I had to switch to a controller with dual analogs but no 6 button layout.

>>10717102
Why don't you use the one in your pic?

>>10720334
Oddly enough it is the n64 co troller design which has the best implementation of analog stick, d-pad and 6 front buttons.

Any other design needs to compromise on the location of the d-pad or analog stick.. weirdly the n64 controller has pretty optimal locations for both d-pad and the analog stick.

>>10720334
Here is another that looks quite nice. But you can see the compromise of the location of analog stick and d-pad. It's as though they are wanting to occupy the same spot on the controller. This looks decently done and is probably comfortable in either use case.. but the n64 co troller is so weird because nintendo was trying to do something that no one else had.

>>10720797
Maybe it's because I've never hold one that's in a good shape, but is there really anything special regarding N64 stick area being larger than other controllers or does people make a big fuss about it for nothing?

>>10720813
The n64 stick had a pretty long throw.. it was still nice and precise for racing games, FPS or w/e. If anything the longer stick travel gave it greater resolution. I know they wear put on the OG controllers and become crappy but you can get replacement analog stick parts for those OG n64 controllers.

>>10717109
sadly the DualSense d-pad is bad news bears, I uninstalled the PS5 version of Street Fighter 6 just to keep using the PS4 pad on it. Inputs register all crazy and fucked up on SF6. I do play fighting games with d-pad though which might put me in a minority

>>10717102
The Flydigi Vader3 has 6 face buttons, with C and Z being reassignable, but
>flydigi

One of the only good things to come out of a poorly received non-retro fighting games. There's four shoulder buttons that are assigned L1, L2, L3, and R3 to achieve four shoulder buttons + six face buttons.

The singular downside is only one thumb stick.

>>10719265
Fightpads generally don't have analog sticks. Also I think in a lot of them, including the one I'm posting and the one here >>10717249, the buttons on the far right are just duplicates of the shoulder bumpers which means they wouldn't actually accommodate N64 and Saturm properly.

I think OP is looking for an all-encompassing controller that has six unique face buttons, two analog sticks, D-pad, two shoulder bumpers, two analog shoulder triggers and start+select. This would accomodate every modern game and the vast majority of retro systems aside from weird shit with phone keypads the Atari Jaguar.

Would this work? Somehow forgot that the Xbox had a six button layout.

>>10721335
pls look one post above you

>>10717102
Retro Bit made a pretty cool one for the Saturn. It comes with a receiver for both USB and Saturn ports.

>>10718407
What does the DS3 or DS4 lack?

>>10719781
Why is this so good? All their other controllers suck, but this one is great.

>>10718580
>>10719480
Came here to post this controller

>>10721663
>Tax return benefits
Sorry you could only get $20 back I guess

>>10719549
Aw that’s a shame, I was wondering if it supported a wired connection.
I enjoy reducing clutter a bit by having one usb c cable that I can swap controllers into

>>10720340
this

>>10721663
Is it any good? Been thinking about getting one, mostly for genesis but there's a handful of saturn games I like.

>>10722901
A decent Dpad which is the most important thing for retro games, and also a six button layout, which is less important but 6 buttons is really useful for megadrive, PC engine, 3do, jaguar, and N64.
