Discuss controllers for emulation

Xbox One's controller is basically the Xbox 360 controller with a D-pad that isn't garbage.

It also has native support on Windows 7 and onward. Plug and play.

I just buy (insert system controller) to usb

I see, but is pretty expensive

I'm not gonna buy one controller per system that I'm going to emulate, I just want a dpad that isn't garbage

Why do you need a turbo FC controller? Isn't the SFC style enough for you?

That's a lot of money for a Buffalo controller. I got one last year for $11.

If you're willing to pay $20, just get the 8BitDo SFC30. Greatest third party controller ever.

I'm not buying a controller I'm buying a $6 cord. Right now I have cords that plug my actual SNES/NES/Genesis controllers into a matching port with the other end being usb.

Six face buttons plus L and R shoulder buttons. Also turbo.

It's got the features but how's the feel?

>>3730551
Feels pretty good. Nothing I can find wrong with it.

>>3730425
Ehhhh, I see a rolling D pad. Try playing Tetris Attack or anything else that requires precision with that thing and tell me how it goes.

not quite, the 360 controller feels like cheap crap overally, xbone controller has much better buttons (especially triggers) and the feel of the plastic and quality is improved

>>3730414

also true, they don't compare to nintendo hardware

overally, buffalo is quite ok for its low price, but it does feel cheap, it depends on a budget OP - if you can fork over more, I'd recommend dualshock 2 + adapter, then xbone

You can take most of these clone controller PCBs and swap them with a genuine controller shell and in most cases genuine button rubbers.

I got a NES usb controller and the pcb is so small and has a hole for a screw to hold it to the controller, that in pictures the original NES pad doesnt have.
Also the dpace is slightly different, is there any way to tell if a nes usb controller has the same shape stuff inside?

Hell is there an actual good nes usb controller for $10 or less.

The 8bitdo stuff is all $30 and up now anon

None of the third party solutions have ever been as good as the originals, not even 8bitdo or buffalo

Your best bet is a modern controller (ps4, xbone and wii u pro are all excellent controllers) or a USB adapter for one of your old controllers

You can find plenty of cheap adapters, but if you want the best value for your money you want to get retroUSB
