Too bad there's no kiosk so I can at least hold it and try it out. Only reason I got a DS4 over an X1 controller was because of the Dpad.

Dreamcast was my first console that wasn't shared with the family and I still love it to death and the VMU was cool idea but god damn does it hurt my fucking hands
hard plastic joystick + the shape of the grips are made for killing your fingers

>>377960157
I don't like the D-Pad either.
Some times I'll press right and it recieves input for up, too.
I think the d-pad and face buttons could be a tad smaller.
inb4 small hands.

>>377960252
Yes it can. It has 2 more buttons then the gamecube controller which can be used to emulate a half press or full press of a analog trigger

My highschool days were filled with PS1, then PS2 and PS3 in the future and it feels strange to play with anything other than a PS controller.

Can't teach an old dog new tricks I guess

>>377960484
However, the quality of the shell, grips and sticks are superb and much more durable than the DS4, imo.

>>377959943
the Switch Pro would be absolutely perfect if it weren't for the broken d-pad and it'd be nice if it had analog triggers
other than that, it's probably the only controller that I've used in a long ass while that doesn't make my hand hurt whatsoever and it's just a joy to use
I can't understand how Nintendo can make such a great controller but at the same time make it suck so blatanly in something that they've always got right (d-pad)

I love the directional buttons over a traditional Dpad.

Really I don't see the hate for them at all. They are super comfortable to play with and honestly I find myself using them for traditional gameplay way more than I have ever used a dpad on another consolw

>>377960376
Well it has
>USB A to C Cable
>HD rumble
>Amiibo functionality
>Gyro
>80 hours battery life

So it's a very good controller but I'm upset about the price even though I know it like that because of everything it has

>>377960614
What about the Z button you fucking tard.

>>377960373
why would he sacrifice controller ergonomics for something he can literally just install a driver and receive

>>377960614
The Gamecube's analog triggers have 100 different pressure levels.

The Xbox One and PS4 have over 500. Nintendo are fucking retarded.

>>377960789
>Play Mario Kart today expecting them to be small and annoying
>They're actually pretty comfy and work well

One of the biggest worries I had for the Switch

>>377960789
I thought I was going to hate it. Then I got it last week and I love it. Got a pro controller too and feel the joycons+grip are more comfy than that.

>>377960115
How are the drivers? Is it a quick install?

The D-pad is pretty bad, which isn't something I'd expect from Nintendo.

The d-pad is shit.

After trying literally every controller, I'll stay with my DS3. I'd use Xone S pad but it's made of such cheap garbage it breaks in four months.

>>377960875
No game uses that. Every single GameCube game either uses full press or half press

>>377960808
I think it's 40 hours. The 80 figure is for the Wii U Pro.

>>377960157
Honestly, gotta agree here. The Switch Pro Controller is the best controller I've ever used, but the D-Pad fucking sucks. If it weren't for that (and analog triggers), it might just be the perfect controller.

>>377960813
Select. Of course it could always be rebinded. I don't think it's that complicated.

>>377960967
There are no drivers. Connect via bluetooth and it's ready to go

>implying the dreamcast controller wasn't the most comfy controller to exist

It needs another joystick and maybe shoulder buttons but it was top fucking comf during its time.

Haven't tried the xbone controller but otherwise the 360 is by far the most comfortable "modern" controller. DS3/DS4's joystick placement is awful and feels awkward as hell, and while I liked the GCN controller the c-stick was not a proper replacement for the right joystick to control camera movement.

Really want to like the steam controller but I tried playing games with it for two days and it more or less absolutely crippled me for a while because it just forces really bad hand placement.

>>377960813
+ Button, at least that's what I have it mapped to on Dolphin.

>>377961059
>I'd use Xone S pad but it's made of such cheap garbage it breaks in four months.

You're out of your fucking mind. The Xbox One gamepad is literally the only thing Microsoft has done right this generation.

It feels so good in the hand and integrates so well with all Steam games.

>>377960162
I have big hands and these things are still fucking uncomfortable to me.

Also convex buttons are stupid, dunno why they've been continued. Hope you like hard rounded plastic digging into your thumb every time you press a button. The 360 controller is really good, those issues aside.

I've used an X1 controller and it's awful, feels too heavy and clunky, buttons aren't very responsive in terms of tactile feedback (360 was far better in this regard), and the entire thing just feels like a cheap madcatz knockoff of itself.

>>377961271
I agree it's perfect, but it breaks fast. I love the d-pad specially and the triggers, but as I told you, it's too cheaply made. I thought they'd fix it with the S controller.

>>377961168
Directinput or Xinput?

Nigga that's an inverted SNES controller that's slightly slid down a bit with two extra buttons.

It actually looks pretty comfy as fuck, though. I use an SNES style controller for a lot of JRPG's and metroidvania's, and while that's pretty top tier it still isn't as comfortable as it could be.

What are people saying about the D-pad?

I've been playing Zelda for about 100 hours using the Pro Controller only, and have never had the D-pad register the wrong input.

>>377965272
Not at all. People who haven't used the grip don't get it, but once you use the system in handheld mode, you get where and how the grip is trying to line up your hands and fingers, and it becomes a perfectly serviceable controller. Now, it's got nothing on the pro controller, but it absolutely works on its own.

steam literally has this functionality built into big picture now

>>377965036

Nostalgia and playing off of the established rather than trying anything new.

I mean, the SNES layout is great/fine for what it is, but there really isn't much you can do with it outside of ergonomics. So third parties just tried to model around something similar, and they're still popular because they're small/compact and work perfectly for specific genres of games, while also being absurdly cheap.
And trying to change the ergonomics would be more expensive to initially design and potentially more expensive to produce, purely because of different mold shapes.

Even modern controllers don't stray far from the established formula, though. Four face buttons, start/select and a d-pad. It's just expanded to two sticks and an external, OS-centric function button and having triggers in addition to shoulder buttons.
SNES controller is just the most iconic controller that kicked things off.

>>377962572
>>377962272
This, the splatoon one looks kinda silly and is a bit lazy imo. I wish they'd do more themed controllers like microsoft does though.

>>377960789

The reason why I hate it is because you can press both left and right at the same time, and which ever you hit last will be the direction you go. Pogoing is annoying with it in Shovel Knight.

>>377965620
The up arrow is too sensitive. You wouldn't notice in Zelda but some games it's really a problem

Is the difference between Xinput and Directinput worth worrying about? Is one inherently better than the other? I'm pretty well versed in PCs but I've never tried using a controller other than the 360 years ago.
