>>2016331
its ok.
I have no experience with buffalo pads, and even though I think xbox controllers are the best you can get for modern games, the position of the D-pad just isn't that great for /vr/. Furthermore, there's no option for a 6-button pad like the saturn or genesis on there, apart from that footnote that says to try and find an adapter.
Otherwise no issues with it.

Personally, for /vr/ I'd check out the ps4 to see how stiff the D-pad is. The DS3 (what I'm using now) hurts my thumb after too much use, and the triggers are far too mushy for my liking. If they're the same, then depending upon how much modern gaming you do, then the xbone controller might be the better choice, especially with that native windows support.

The exact same thing can be said and remain truthful about literally every single other first party controller ever made. Who wrote this? This is subpar 9th grade writing.
>"This won a Guiness World Record for largest controller, not even joking."
If the award was even true, who cares? There will always be a largest and smallest for everything. It's not even the largest controller designed to begin with. The Guiness Video Game World Records books are known to contain dozens of erroneous awards every single edition.

I'm also interested in seeing where Saturn model 2s place on this list. They'd get top marks for d-pad but would they be knocked for lacking all 4 shoulder buttons in regards to PS1 emulation? What's the consensus on the Mad Catz FightPad S.D.?

Xbone dpad in a hole really isn't that great.
PS4 is alright, much better than previous PS controllers. I like it pretty well.
Wii Classic Pro is mediocre. Dpad is meh and its on the small side even for my girl hands.
Buffalo is good, though just like the original snes one its awkward for fighting games.

DS3/2/1 have mediocre dpads but otherwise okay and easy to setup these days.

Wii U Pro is rubbish as it prioritizes the sticks which isn't great for retro (good for other stuff or it would be if had analogue triggers, which it doesn't)
360 Transforming still has the same shit internals on the dpad as the regualr 360, putting a cross on it does not change that.
GCN controller, just no, fuck that dpad in its ass and the second stick.
Wii Classic still okayish dpad, but cord on the bottom really the fuck.
Hori is the only thing on the list I've not used, can't be worse then the actual N64 one, but I'ld just use something I have around.
360 is in bad tier is not low enough. It has no place in retro gaming.
310 is actually pretty good wth, the dpad beats every Nintendo controller listed here though it suffers the cramped design of playstation controllers. (other logitech are shit though for the most part)
Xbox too god damn big for my girl hands, but may work for others.


I actually like the F310 is decent if you need one on the cheap. A Saturn controller is better then pretty well all this list unless you need an analogue stick.

Really the only controllers you need are
>PS1/2/3/4 Controller
It's really just a SNES controller with 4 extra buttons, 2 joysticks and a decent Dpad.
>Xbone/360 Controller.
Same as the PS controller except you switch the left stick and the dpad.
The dpad sucks ass which makes this controller really only good for joystick centric games.
>Sega Saturn Controller.
One of the best Dpads ever made.
Great button layout, but emulating other consoles may feel a bit awkward 1st because of it.
Lacks a Select button.
Best pad to play Fighters with.
>Gamecube Controller
Only good for Gamecube and N64(sort of) games.
Garbage for everything else.
>Arcade Stick
The best way to play fighting games.
They're just all around amazing controllers for 4th gen and older games. As long as you like that feel of course.

If it has any analog stick on it at all I probably won't even bother with it. I'd take a cheap 3rd party controller without one over extraneous joysticks I'll use only once in a blue moon.

Some other good older joysticks are worth mentioning. The Microsoft Sidewinder can be found for a dollar in bins at Good Wills and thrift stores. If you happen to have an older PC with a gameport it is a very good controller with a great stiff old-school feel to the buttons and d-pad.

Afterglow is complete shit.
1st I bought a wired 360 pad during an xmas sale at target.
within a week the left analogue stick broke internally, causing the camera/character to slowly move to the left even if I wasn't touching the controller. $25 down the drain

2nd I bought a wireless PS3 controller, one that swaps the d-pad and analogue stick to be in the 360 configuration. it wouldn't charge and wouldn't connect to either my PC or PS3, it just constantly turned on and off and flashed lights at me. $40 dollars down the drain
and by the way, I'm not the only one who's had that happen. My local gamestore bought a box of 100 of them. every single one had the same issue.

So then I bought an afterglow wired PS3 controller in a standard DS3 configuration, stupidly thinking that would fix the problem (no battery to charge means no connection issues right?).
Nope, same thing, and another $30 lost.
by the time I was done with all those shitty 3rd party pads, I could have bought not one, but two official DS3's or 360 controllers.

Its a bit of a boost over the original 360 controller which is decent in the hands, but for retro its still not very good.

Really no controller shoving sticks in the way really works that great for retro. And if you like games that require 6 buttons like fighting games the list gets even smaller because you need a more Sega-ish design.

I also had the wired one, it was shit and the d-pad on that one was too small and stiff and the face buttons seem designed to get wrecked rather easily.

The square sockets aren't a big deal though, they never got in the way and kept my autism entertained during loading screens / cutscenes.

sidewinder is actually one of the, if not the most common PC specific controllers. and yes, the later models do have usb options, either through an included adapter, or having it standard (granted I've never come across a usb one in person, but they've been mentioned on forums before and I've seen photos of them).
The force feedback flight stick is really the best you can get sub $500, and their controllers are in a similar boat.
Though I'd still get a modern 1st party controller over them.

No, it's an example of countless other old controllers that might be considered but couldn't be included because there's a huge variety of them, they're very different among brands, and gameports get in the way.

Thrustmaster deserves to be one tier higher for having various unusual features, like PC&previous-gen-console multi connectors. And the pretentious Ferrari branding is just that kind of thing that they have to do to sell decently.

I have that Gravis pad and the sidewinder and there is a world of difference between them. It's insulting to even make the comparison.

However, the Gravis pad is actually not that bad either in the long run. To a certain extent it just werks as a game controller in many cases. It might serve well as a player two controller.

I never had to install any specific drivers for my sidewinder, and it is also worth noting that if you want to play older PC games one could consider the controller to be about the appropriate option if you are going for the historical accuracy thing.

Pro tip: Both the original Xbox controller and the Model S are easily modded to use a standard USB cable and drivers are readily available. All the tools you need are probably laying around the house. Or you can just buy an adapter for 2 bucks.

I see these in bargin bins for two or three dollars all the time, usually in groups of 3-4.

They make perfectly good controllers, especially if you want to play with multiple people.

I've got the famicom version of this controller that the same guy did before he did the NES one. I have to say it's solid as FUCK.

If I were to be really picky about it and have to pick something I don't like, I'd say it's a little on the light side. It's not that big of an issue for me though, and if it was I could just put equally distributed weights inside myself. The NES version I feel like probably weighs just the right amount.

Build quality is top tier, connects with my mac super easily, works really well with openemu. I haven't tried it on my PC though because it's the controller I use for emulation when I'm not at home. When I'm at home I just play on my consoles, or if I'm trying a game out I'll emulate it and use a Dualshock 3. I recommend it.

I have played with a lot of controllers. Dozens, over a hundred probably. I have owned controllers for pretty much ever major system.

I have owned all the common controllers for the Sega Saturn.

And they are just okay.

That's it. Just pretty good. I don't know why people are so obsessed with them. They are by far NOT the best controller for playing fighting games. Merely the best controller on Saturn for that purpose. For every other genre they're pretty much just about as good as 100 other controllers that are decently built.

To be really brutally honest, I think they're a little bit stiff in the d-pad. :^)

The XB1 has poor d-pad placement. The PS4 is too bulky and the lack of a connected cross d-pad is distracting. The Wii Classic has a solid d-pad but is still too bulky.

I swear, several years ago when people were first using Dual Shock 3 controllers with windows there was this long convoluted process to installing them and getting them to work.

Then somebody linked to a zip file someone in japan had made that contained a driver for the Dual Shock 3. I uninstalled the bullshit I had been messing with and literally did this

>unzip file
>double click icon
>"do you want install driver for Sony Dual Shock 3?"
>yes

and literally 2 seconds later my controller's red LED lit up and it worked flawlessly from that point forward. Completely native support in every emulator I used. No need for programs or any other bullshit. Just a straight up driver for the thing.

Haven't been able to find that file again since.

Not really, the placement doesn't matter, your thumbs can't feel the difference, besides I have never seen people complain about the position of the right thumbstick (which is usually below the face buttons) when they play games that require both thumbsticks, it should be same the other way around.

You can customize all the binds too. Lightbar, whatever. Its great.

I have my controller hooked up via bluetooth and haven't had any problems - just make sure to update manually rather than through the auto update, that borks it for me for some reason.

A mechanical keyboard is pretty much equal to a hitbox.
A rubberdome keyboard is equal to a controller that uses rubber domes of equal build quality (ie. ranging from decent to terrible).

Using keyboard allows you to use effectively four fingers on each hand at the same time, which is plenty enough for most games and much more comfortable than trying to do everything with your thumbs.
So far the only games that I prefer to play with pad are Devil May Cry 3 & 4 because of analog movement/camera and LOTS of action buttons, some of which need to be held down a constantly.

I've been rocking laptops for the past few years, and the only one that didn't freak out when you press more than three buttons at the same time just crapped out on me. Some retro games don't work out so well with two input buttons at a time.

Never had durability issues people said that about the dualshock too.

Up to snuff to what?
The cheap rubber on the DS4, the spongy shit of the DS3 or GCN, the crap dpads of the 360, the meh dpad of any nintendo past SNES, the hinge snapping goodness of the DS?

They went up and everyone else went down they've all met in the middle somewhere. Damn I miss old Sega. And I really get the feeling you've not used very many of any variety and are just taking all this second.

>>2032743
>As for controllers, though, why would you ever use a modern controller instead of an adapter and a retro controller of your choice?
Because N64. I get it though I have one without analogue sticks and one with them as I don't think they ever found a good way to have a well positioned dpad, enough buttons, and dual sticks on one controller. Something always gets short changed.

I've consistently shit on it since the N64 was new and my friends thought OoT the pinnacle of open world combat.

Having 6 face buttons I will grant you gives it an edge on some 2D games, of which the actual N64 had nearly none. Though its dpad is meh. It does work fairly well using the outer handles, but at that point may as well use something with a similar shape and no middle dildo, of which there are plenty better.
