Which is your favourite controller?

[Ruru]

I play all some of PC games with Xbox One S gamepad, though I like the Dualshock4 when I play on PS4.

But yeah, that Xbox pad is my favourite.

A mechanical keyboard and a wireless mouse. Controllers are fine for a few select titles, like Mortal Kombat or Tekken, but I can't stand them otherwise.

Damn... you know what I mean

I hella do love most my keyboard and mouse what it comes to PC FPS gaming, but... yeah.

 

[gffermari]

Xbox controller elite v.1 but only when keyboard and mouse do not work for the game.
Ex. God of war and Hogwarts Legacy. I found it to be easier using the controller.
I have to note though that I’ve never tried a PS controller (since PS2 era).

 

[INSTG8R]

I have an Elite V2 I use when I need one. This is coming from someone who only ever owned PS’s. I’ve had both Elites.

 

[oxrufiioxo]

Both a Playstation Dualsense and Elite V2 depending on what I am playing.

Favorite controller ever hard to say I've liked a lot probably the coolest was the og dualshock.... I did like the N64 pad with rumble pack in Goldeneye though as well.

OG Xbox "Duke"... optimal size ... (i'm kinda bear pawed)

well ... atm Xbox Elite Series 2, i quite like it, the extended battery over the previous Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra, almost make up for loosing Hall effect sticks and microswitches
a bit small but not by much

imho, asymmetric is ergonomic (Xbox layout), symmetrical is a pure pain (PS layout) i just can't

also Fightbox leverless for some game

Would be nice to try the OG Xbox pad now as an adult, OFC I said that it's too big when I was 12yo.

I know what you mean, but it is what it is with me, unfortunately. Controllers and I don't go well together. Looking around with an analogue stick is pure pain compared to a mouse. I do have an Xbox-style MSi controller for games where you don't have to look around, and a Logitech G27 racing wheel and shifter, but I very rarely use them.

Do u play any console ports or any games which are best with a controller?

Hah, wheels are a total different division, I have a Driving Force GT... hell, it works even in W11!

I just recently finished Nier Automata. The friend I got it from said it's best played with a controller, so I did that. I briefly tried playing it with keyboard and mouse too, which was also fine.

In my opinion, the games that are "best played with a controller" feel mostly good with keyboard and mouse too, but games that are built for the keyboard and mouse (e.g. FPS, TPS and strategy) are rubbish with a controller.

I had a logitech pad for driving/flying/action games that would be clunky with a mouse and keyboard. My Ideal Pad is on the Sega Dreamcast as it's the 1 that fits my hands properly besides the 1st XB controller or the Model S, however the dpad on the xb controllers were extremely lacking in 8 direction use unlike the DC controller.

I miss the MS Sidewinder Line, very good units they were

 

[Macro Device]

Mech keyboard + mouse for most everything.
Gamepads of classic layout for football simulators. Wondering if anyone makes big size gamepads because it's devastatingly inconvenient to use these tiny things.

 

[NSX05]

Answering the question literally: DualSense.

When it doesn't have stick drift...

 

[maxfly]

Let's put it this way, I suck bad with any controller. I just bought my grandkids an Xbox X with an extra controller along with a bunch of games. I called myself playing a team game (cod maybe) with my grandson for about 5 minutes... until I had to call it. I was absolutely useless. After more than 20 years of not touching one, big surprise. He was better off playing on his own. But anyhow, I thought the stock controller was pretty sweet

And yes, my 10yo grandson has turned into an overnight gaming junkie. If it were up to him, he would play 24/7/365.

What have I done?

 

[RaceT3ch]

I use keyboard and mouse for every game except for racing
Racing games I use a series X controller for that

 

[c2DDragon]

Whew !

Can I judge you all ?

PLAYING ON PC WITH A CONTROLLER ? WHAT DA FACK ?

I use a PowerA Xbox Series X|S controller it seems, added some cheap silicon caps for the joysticks and I think nobody should buy Sony/Microsoft dumb useless fragile stuff when some cheap stronger things exist

Everything else than first person games are played with a gamepad

I'm happy you quoted for real xD I didn't even know it was a Series X|S as it's seems like the previous stuff (I got one from Microsoft, the One, the dumb bugged one for sure). I edited about my controller so it seems strange

I was kidding for sure it's cool to play a lot of games with a gamepad add a hdmi and plug your computer on the huge TV, play on the sofa or the bed

Heey, I didn't take your post that serious!

Actually to be exact, my controller is the white one which is bundled with an OneS, are the newer ones better?

 

[Apocalypsee]

Gamepad for me is PS3 sixaxis controller, I'm so used to play PS1 and PS2 games so this controller comes in naturally for me, mainly I use to play emulator on PC. I rarely use gamepad to play PC games, except Ace Combat 7.

Gotta give props to Dualshock3, they have a hella long battery charge

I can't tell you, I had an S long time ago, the joysticks were having visual degradation, I returned it even if it was working, the old One is having a bit more of deadzone from both of the joysticks every years so I bought the third party controller and I really like it.

 

[Laurijan]

I like the Dualsense alot but on PC is use Xbox controller mainly since I got the USB dongle and there is no Sony controller dongle available (what an oversight)

My Dualshock4 had problems, I replaced its stick sensors from a donor XboxS pad and works like new.

My friend hates that I call it Dualshock5.
