>>385961468
Not him but I'll give it a shot
1. Dualshock 4 sticks are too close together and not as ergonomic but I guess that stems from the shape of the controller as much as anything else. They're rubbery and slippery especially when you're doing a lot of complex movements. You always have to "reset" your thumbs while the Xbone controller sticks are much more loose, solid plastic instead of rubber, and ergonomic.
2. 360 sticks went bad so fucking easily. Every single one of my controllers got stiff after 2-3 years. But at least it was Dualshock 3 sticks. All the reasons mentioned above also apply against the 360 controller.
3. Antiquated. They were... unique at the time but not even best. Probably the worst sticks of all time only saved by the unique controller design and layout. The Xbox S controller fixed them though. The positioning is FAR superior on the one controller. The Duke was unweildy. all the buttons are easier to press. The stick tuning is far better. The triggers are simply an upgrade.
4. lol this is the only generation Sony has had "good" thumbsticks. There is no comparison here.

The DS4 is by no means a bad controller. But the Xbox One sticks far outclass it. While the DS4 R1/L1 shit on the Xbone controller. The D-Pad is objectively better too. And I like the face buttons on the DS4 for platformers and fighters better.
I wish someone would just mash the best parts of the two controllers together to make the god pad.
Asymmetrical sticks.
Flat face buttons.
Good D Pad.
No stupid fucking touchpad.
Xbone triggers.
Playstation style R1/L1.

Am I looking for the Switch pro controller?

It's a solid controller, I use it for steam, only annoyance is that A/B and X/Y are flipped but that's an easy fix.I bought it because I own a Switch anyways and needed a controller for my PC, plus wanted to play Splatoon 2 properly.

>>385962142
It's a bluetooth controller and if your PC doesn't have bluetooth, there's a workaround for that but I didn't really look into it as I have bluetooth in my rig.

Controller design aside, it really makes no sense how they went from having the world's best D-pad to the turd they put on the Dreamcast controller. Also, it was obvious that twin thumbsticks were the future, but they still only had one.

I too like the dual shock D-Pad, all of them are nice. But I think the best D-pad I've ever felt was the original nintendo DS pad, the fat silver one. Were the other iterations of DS just as good with the pad as the first? All the buttons felt awesome on that handheld actually

The d-pad is kind of bad and there are no analog shoulder buttons, so you can't use it for any game. It's a solid controller overall though.

Were you not aware of this?
>>
>>385967554
Oh, I know about it and I prefer the older one. I like the SNES style shape, but would like it to have some sort of semi handle like you'd find on a Saturn or Genesis controller. The reason why is because the button layout isn't a perfect diamond, but slightly squished, making the X and B buttons closer to each other than the A and Y.
When you hold an SNES or CC your thumb is at a different angle than if you hold it with handles, so it feels more comfortable on the face buttons without handles.
I also sort of prefer the clicky ZR and ZL buttons being where they are, because it means you never have to move your index finger up and down. The less you have to move your fingers around, the better.

>>385970074
I'm sure there is some objective way to explain this better, but to me, the 360 d-pad has a bad habit of snapping to different directions than I want to hold. Like, you can press the entire thing down, so it's not on a ball like some d-pads seem to be, but when you want to go from left to right quickly, it rolls over up or down more often than not.
Also, it's glossy. D-pads should never ever be glossy.
>>
>>385970074
Children who think they need to hate shit to fit in on an anonymous board hate it. Personally I like it, and the dualshocks, and my steam controller, and my duke, and the other five or six controllers I have laying around. I just like having fucking controllers, who gives a shit.

The + shaped fulcrum causes it to wobble towards the diagonals, and it comes up too high off the pcb to even fully tilt in it's given space causing it not to register. 360 d-pad is the product of terrible engineering.

Something about the DS4's d-pad bothers me but it's been so long since I used the DS3's that I don't remember what.

I think DS4's feels more "stiff" and interconnected, ie. sometimes I accidentally press down when I intend to press right.

How is it not?

How is the controller lacking a 3.5mm port not related to the controller? Voice chat aside, even if you want to simply play the game far away from the console with headphones you can't, not without an extention cord across the living room at least.

Read above.
Also, note how the Splitter is something completely optional on other consoles, I did the same with a MixAmp last gen to hear podcasts while I played. On Switch it's not an option, it's mandatory. On the superior consoles (literally every other) you don't NEED it, but you can use it too.
Your argument is as stupid as defending Nintendo's phone app. You can say it has so many uses, but the problem is that you MUST use it if you want the functionality it provides. Every other console has 100% of its functionality in the system proper, no need to use a phone app, BUT (being superior and all) they DO have a phone app too (pic related) - difference being that it's optional and not mandatory.

There's simply no getting out of how shit the situation is, sorry.

Honestly this is my favorite controller. Feels good to hold, battery lasts forever and I can use it on my computer. I can't believe Nintendo won't let you use it for the Switch.

If the d-pad was less clicky, the shoulder buttons weren't as loose and the face wasn't glossy, this would be the best.

That's one shit controller, stop it.

Desyncs. bad d-pad, breaks easily.

Shit D-Pad, registers accidental diagonals constantly if you do not super-precisely press in the 4 main directions.
No analog triggers (which makes it more comfortable in games you don't need them, but still)
No audio jack
$70 because of unneeded NFC and motion controls

Good everything else, but the fact they fucked up the D-Pad bugs me something fierce
>>
Shame the touchpad drains the fucking shit out of the battery.

Remove that piece of shit and the controller would go to 3 hour battery to like 20

>>385970074
i find it a pain to reliably hit diagonals on it, it alsoso feels very stiff to me
