Just get a 360 controller

Its a piece of shit just like you, op

>>4666431
xbox one controller or DS4 are way better. The 360 Dpad sucks

>>4666438
I feel some hostility there, neighbor

>>4666209
yeah why not. it's cheap and just works

I’d recommend this bad boy.
It’s sharp, looks cool and just feels right.

>>4666209
I’d go wired unless you want to add another 30ms of input latency

>>4667126
Any problems with this? I have the famicom replica (fc30) and it works great and connects without problems. The reason I don't like using it is because the gold decal got scratched and worn out after a couple days.

This one doesn't have any stickers so it shouldn't be a problem.

>>4667126

Does this have triggers or just shoulders?

>>4667587

Yes, the input lag is absolutely horrible. If you want a good allround gamepad get the Logitech F310. It's very affordable and doesn't have any major faults.

>>4667594
It has both.

>>4667597
I'm only looking for Bluetooth controllers.

>>4667637
newest revision of xbox one controller is BT

>>4666209
this is a non emulation board
you have to go back

>>4667587
there's a sync guide sticker on the back, in a little indent, but as long as you're not whipping the thing around like a flail you should be fine.

don't listen to that other guy he's just memeing about the lag.

>>4667126
>>4667594
That's a horrible controller with a shit d-pad, input lad and bad ergonomics. Don't buy it.
Use a DS4 or a Xbone one.

>>4668076
Is Input Lad the sidekick to CRT-Man?

>>4666209
this one

I don't know why people keep recommending Xbox controllers. The d-pads are fucking awful.

Dualshock 3. A 4 is fine if you want it to work with everything on Steam too, but ideally, you want a Dualshock 3.

>>4668885
That's exactly my keyboard

>>4668908
Why is DS3 better than DS4?

I use these on my PS4/PS3 and 360, both work on PC too. They're pretty good for anything retro. If what you're playing requires analog, I'd use either PS3,PS4,360 or One controllers.

>>4669006
Hows the D-pad for shooting games?

>>4668956
It isn't, DS4 is bigger and has a better dpad and you can map macros to the touchpad.

>>4666438
insecure af

>>4669143
>Better dpad
Both are shit.

Get X1 and get an actual dpad with proper tactile feedback and input registration.

>>4666209

looks like shit -because - look at how far the right analog stick is jutting into the buttons. hitting square doesnt look like its comfortable.

>>4668087
Where the hell is Input Lad? He seems to be lagging a bit behind today...

>>4669143
I remember reading some pro shmup player uses the DS4 for world records so I imagine it has to be a bit better.

>>4669027
It's a good dpad. Not as good as Saturn but I like it better than the standard dpad on Xbox 360/One and PS3/PS4. It's not too mushy or clicky, just right.

>>4668908

The D-Pad on the Xbox One controller is fantastic. The one on the 360 pad is atrocious though.

Get the Xbone or the Pokken controllers. Pokken especially.

How does the Gamecube controller fare with a USB adapter?

Any good?

>>4667126
This controller is fucking terrible with android. If you're using an android device use a shield controller.

>>4666459
Xbox One Elite other than that you're settling.

>>4675403
i don't know what you've got but it works fine on my s7

>>4669006
I have the FC3 and the d-pad feels weird to me. I'm probably too used to the DS3's segmented d-pad.

>>4675401
yes and no
the analog stick is just mapped to the dpad, but that being said the only N64 games worth playing (OOT and MM) don't use the dpad at all and aren't hindered by non analog movement.
It's worth it to get a more natural button positioning when playing.

Just get a Logitech F310

>>4675421
that's what i use but it's not really worth the price difference. The quality is just as cheap as the regular controller. The bumpers and sticks are damaged easily. I like the weird dpad though, it's great for diagonal inputs.

>>4666209
>here's your controller, bro tier d-pad
That controller isn't worth wiping your ass with.

>>4676356
>the analog stick is just mapped to the dpad
So it's not even "analog"? Is that right? Would be getting this to speedrun Mario 64 and try out its romhacks

>>4666209
If controllers that look good can die easily if you are not careful or be uncomfortable, why would anyone think that something that looks just plain weird/bad like this would work fine?

>>4668908
Because the Xbone controller works great that's why.

>>4677280
>Would be getting this to speedrun Mario 64 and try out its romhacks
neck yourself

>>4677376
what's so bad about that?

>>4676356
What's the best controller option for n64 emulation, then?

>>4677561
A 360/Xbone/DS3/DS4, depending on your general preference towards stick placements and shit

>>4677561
saitek p990. 7 face buttons, 4 triggers, two sticks, 1 d-pad. can play every system comfortably.

>>4666209
alright lads I have around 60$ & was thinking of buying another PC controller for when I have a buddy over so we can play some old 64 games like Smash & Soul Blade what would go good with pic related for a companion?

>>4679608

Just get an xbox 360 or xbox one controller. those logitech controllers are usually shit

I have a wii classic controller that i want to use
are the USB adapters sold by raphnet any good? their site looks promising.

>>4675403
For Android I got a HandJoy NPro 2. Just wanted something with all the buttons on which I can fit my phone in both landscape and portrait modes. It's a mixed bag, I've had no issue getting it to work but there's a fair bit of input lag variance which is just 10 times worse than a steady lag, and the left analog occasionally gets stuck pointing up. Overall I'm satisfied but I'm in the market for something next-level, all the functions but more reliable and maybe with a USB connection to fix the lag.

>>4675403

Hmm. I got an SF30 Pro for use with a Chromebook (Chromebooks make great emulation machines IF you can get a fucking control pad to work). The SF30 build quality is excellent, but the way it works is absolute bullshit. There are lots of weird quirks to the way it works which aren't documented in the manual. Using it for android emulators is EXTREMELY hit and miss. Half the time the fucker isn't even recognised as a control pad by the machine. If you accidentally press the wrong key combination it swaps all the key mappings round. The bluetooth performs fine with SNES9EX and FPSE, but appalling lag with MD.Emu.

You can use it as a USB controller and it works fine, IF you can set it up correctly. Mine has been stuck in bluetooth only mode for days, can't figure out how to get it to be recognised again over USB.

The issue is how BT works now. Android/Ios have pretty messy inconsistency as of 2014 and later devices (power saving bullshit). My Nexus 6 works fine for BT gamepads (including Switch pro) but my Pixel C has a few second delay for some and noticeable delay for others. I use use wired if I am playing Android. This is the same with my old shield and nexus 9.

As for Ios I ended up abandoning it for anything meaningful and played Monster Hunter with a Nimbus by steelseries since it was the least ass of the Mfi controllers.

>>4682980
it works fine with Retroarch, which is probably what you should be using for emulation in the first place

>>4666209
bytterr

>>4683773
I can assure you that it does not.

>>4683889
Well it works fine ~for me~ which is all that matters i guess

>>4679608
I have one I can say they feel like shit.

The thumbsticks are loose and they have huge deadzones in the middle.

The d-pad barely even feels like its attached at all. It's just floating above the rest of the controller somehow.

The triggers are incredibly unsatisfying to pull. They have very little resistance to them and barely have any room to move.

The face buttons are alright but kinda mushy.

The rest of the buttons (like under the thumbsticks and on the shoulders) are the tactile clicky type buttons that have a fair amount of resistance to them so those are good but the thumbsticks like to move around when you push on them so it's a little annoying there.
