Favourite controllers (lemmy.world)

The best controller I arguably thing is the 360 controller. It just feels right to use in fighting games and fps. I like xboxs layout with the analog sticks.

Dualshock comes a close 2nd but was never a fan of the analog layout.

I find the n64 most jarring and I get that it was meant to be used differently for different games, but I still preferred the 3rd party options that took it closer to a standard gamepad.

The Switch Pro controller has been my favorite, however it has two issues. The trigger buttons are just a switch, so if you're into arcade racing games, that'll be rough. The other is that the rubber pads on the thumbsticks are questionable quality, and can also become quite slippery from the oils in your skin

I was using Switch Pro on my computer until I got some Dualsense controllers. Loved it. Horrible D-pad compared to the dualsense though!

I'm considering changing to it, but i'd like to try it out somewhere first. Quite a pricetag for something that might be less comfortable

I feel it’s more comfy, but YMMV. I DEFINITELY love the triggers and haptics. I wouldn’t play Returnal or Pacific Drive without one, and I’m so happy the computer versions support both!
