Do you even 90s, bro?

I have a couple of these and I love them. They are mostly known for shipping with the famiclone Dendy Classic which was popular in Russia. There are versions with the NES-style 7-pin plug, the ones I have I picked up as old stock from an eBay seller in Canada. Go looking for some.

>>5183095
There are sticks for both NES and SNES. I prefer the Advantage to the pad for certain games.

>>5183095
Can you use a slider or an arcade stick? I'm pretty sure there are controllers that replace the DPAD with a slider analogue thing, and there are are arcade sticks for every system nowadays.

Haven't seen that in a while

OK, stupid post incoming. I've never even used a steam controller, but I know you can configure it such that you drag your finger across the touchpad dpad but you don't actually press down to click it. Does anybody know?
Good luck OP, I have RSI and although I don't use any special controller I'm adamant about taking frequent breaks

>>5183098
no, I was born in 1998

>>5183095
get your hands of a set of these; it's like using a genesis 3button controller

>>5183098
don't know if you've ever used one of those, but i can say from experience that they're pure shit. tried the genesis one back in the day and it made sonic1 virtually unplayable.

I just bought one of these at my local retro game store. Haven't tried it out yet.

the age of arcade sticks is here

google "atariage Retro-Bit NES Power Stick: An Honest Review & Upgrade Guide (Picture Heavy)"

the D-pad is ass, but it's pretty much your only option for a turbo controller for the NES so what'cha gonna do?

>>5183095
Did any of you try playing with the keyboard on emulators?

Seriously having separate keys for up/down/left/right(WASD or arrows in standard PC gamer position) is a game changer and having separate keys for A and B really makes you realize what terrible horse shit controllers are.

Who did think using 1 thumbs to fondle a D-pad and another thumb to fondle 2 buttons was a good idea?

Personally I like WASD + NUM-4 and NUM-8 for A and B.

>>5183098
Brand new that piece of shit required more pressure than an OEM controller that has broken contacts.

>not using ASD + space for d-pad
Do you even fingers and thumbs bro?

>>5184987
>using ASD + space for d-pad
AWD + Space for D pad
I see you have alien/mutant hands.

>>5184987
The truth is that this is my universal setup.
I need space and SHIFT they are used in SNES style controls to emulate the shoulder buttons.
NUM-4
NUM-8
NUM-6
NUM-ENTER
Are used for ABXY in the same natural WASD hand position.

You even can get your thumb on one arrow key to have a full 10 finger control setup.

those buttons look alright but I bet the stick is just awful. Then again, so was the stick on the offical NES advantage

>>5185003
did you google the text? you can swap in a sanwa jlf & buttons; it's basically an arcade stick shell that looks like an advantage

>>5184993
No, it's ASD + Space
A = Left
S = Down
D = Right
Space = Up

>>5185050
Use W instead of S its far more comfortable in the hand position trust me.

Because if you have a human hand you realize your middle finger is longer then the rest of your fingers.

you don't want to create a claw with your hand.

>>5183372
Sure you can, it's piss easy to do. I find the touch pad too pig to use it as a dpad but it's a matter of taste. Be sure to put the haptic feedback at least at medium.

>>5183590
Seconding arcade sticks as a lower impact option. Fucked up my wrist a few years back and now that's all I play on.

There's an official dogbone controller.

>>5183552
What the hell were they thinking angling the A and B buttons like?

>>5187248
Made specifically for whiny bitches who didn't like the original NES controller.

>>5187285
yeah it is weird that they'd end up using positioning that every other console has used since. i guess they were thinking, "this is the future" and were right.

>>5187248
it's the d-pad itself, not the corners of the NES controller.

>>5183095

You just take out the red slider and put an xbox360 analog stick cover in there. Works better for shmups but it is playable with platformers and such. Takes a bit to get used to but it works surprisingly well. Also you can put the shitty red slider button back in and go back to stock if you want. I never would, but the mod is 100% reversible.

>>5183543
They work alright, but honestly I found these harder to use than a regular controller. I mean, they feel more ergonomic but it makes the dpad and buttons feel like they are in a strange place. You could probably get used to them but I gave up after an hour or so.

Oh nice, a gor- wait, this isn't a gore thread?
