[Anonymous No.7783298]

This company can’t make a decent feeling controller for shit. It performs passably but I can’t enjoy it because it just feels incredibly cheap and terrible. The cheap plastic and poor trigger fit are the worst offenders. The analog stick also has a weird bit of grittiness/bumpiness in the bottom of it on the unit I received. It feels objectively awful. Third party controllers will never change.
It’s really nice that your controller comes in a nice box with keychains and stickers and shit but the controller itself, this zoomerpad that I foolishly paid for, is terrible.

[Anonymous No.7783302]

This goofy fucking thing. For those of you who aren't aware of it, a good portion of the controller's body is made of NERF foam, so the handles are completely soft.
That D-pad doesn't do the controller any favors either.

Overpriced and overrated as fuck.
It feels bulky compared to any regular 6-button controller, and the force feedback is pointless since you're going to be using the controller for fightan games. It's also awkward to have the VMU stick out the way it does.
If you absolutely must have a controller for fightan games on the DC, just get a Total Control 3 + Saturn controller, or just use an arcade stick.

My used Dreamcast came with crummy "Dream Master" controllers. They feel very cheap and one of them had one of the triggers stop working.
Later I bought a Mad Catz Dream Pad because it looked good online and so far it's the best Dreamcast controller I've used for most games.
Later I saw Adam Koralik made a video asserting the Dream Pad is a piece of shit and the Dream Master is better because he is an alien with no sense of touch and is unskilled at imitating human thought patterns.

[Anonymous No.7787367]

The issue isn't even the size of the controller (far from it actually), the real reasons why the Duke and any Microsoft controller up until the XBONE suck is because:
>laughably bad d-pad
>thumb-piercing face buttons that are unsatisfying to press
>awfully-shaped analogs
Once they got to the non-retro Xbox One they finally got their shit together and finally made an ergonomic controller that feels good on the hands, further improved in the successive revisions after that.

I don't mean to say the original is an ideal controller, I just think it's the best one we have for Dreamcast. You're right that the inward curve is bad ergonomics but I think the controller's good qualities outweigh that. The build and plastic quality are perfectly solid, the analog stick, while not incredibly comfortable or without its weird flaws, is one of the most reliable sticks ever produced, and the triggers in particular are very good.

They're more durable but I wouldn't say they're technically better. They don't hit the same ranges and they have a differently shaped gate compared to the original controllers.

So it turns out that Valve did not actually invent the concept of a touchpad controller after all.

I think it belongs here. The touchpad controller did not work with me very well. It felt a bit cheap, and it did not seem to work with many games that did not use the Steam client. Maybe somebody has created a workaround program but I don't want to risk bricking my Steam controller as I sometimes pop it out every now and then. Maybe one day I'll give such programs a go, but that may never happen.

I was also hesitant of using the buttons that involved pressing the back buttons that were situated very close to where the batteries would be stored. Its all one plastic panel, and I worry that it would eventually break.
