RangerJosie, rok temu do games w What's your favorite controller?

PS2. Before all the unnecessary extra expense got added in.

I’m not sure what you are referring to here. The Dual Shock 2 was the standard PS2 controller throughout its lifetime.

Do you mean the OG PlayStation, which had the standard controller, then the dual analogue stick, and finally the Dual Shock with the two analogue sticks plus rumble?

I liked the analogue sticks, loved Katamari. Rumble didn’t add enough.

I like the sticks and rumble. By extra stuff I meant like haptic triggers and stuff like that in the newest controllers.

The old standard Playstation controller. With sticks and rumble.

I own a Series S. And I’ve been looking for a PS pattern Xbox controller forever. But I’ve never found one.

Oh gotcha. You mean before it went Dual Shock 3? Sorry I thought you were referring to the multiple iterations the PS1 had.

Advantage over Dual Shock 2 was that it was wireless, and I do appreciate that, but I completely agree that PlayStation layout is great.

I do like the Dual Shock 4 when on the computer, as the little touchpad on the front helps with SteamOS when dealing with shitty interfaces for 3rd Party Launchers that demand a mouse and keyboard.

If I didn’t encounter them occasionally then Dual Shock 3 all the way as I dont normally need any of the other “features”.

Does the Series S support USB controllers? Could you not use one of those knock off USB PS controllers?

I’ve played rescue ranger a couple of times, legit one incident I intervened in was some poor bastard running for their life across the entirety of Liurnia Lake while the invader was leading an angry mob of enemies chasing them

Night and Flame got a workout that day, lemme tell y’all.

There is no perfect controller…

…But I do have a list of features I would want my perfect controller to have based off all the controllers that have ever been made :

• TMR joystick modules (successor to Hall effect sticks)
• adjustable tension springs and locking mechanism for varied stick cap types (Xbox Elite series 2 does most of this but uses magnetic caps which would interfere with the TMR sticks so ball bearing connections or other option would be preferable)
• 6 DOF / gyro sensors + infrared camera (Wii Motion Plus)
• Adaptive haptic triggers (PS5) which can be toggled to hair trigger mode via switches (Xbox Elite series 2)
• multi-touchpad on face (PS5)
• analog face buttons (DualShock 2 controller had this but only a few games utilized this… the best example was the PS2 era Metal Gear Solid games)
• customizable “per-button” color assignment / micro OLED or e-ink screens so button graphics can be swapped (PBTails new controller does the per button RGB color assignment)
• USB-C / 4 wired connectivity + charging
• baseplate contact-charging (PS5 controller has these so you can set them on charging docks)
• hot swappable battery pack + AA battery holder pack or ability to not have a battery on at all when connected via USB-C (Xbox 360 controller had this)
• swappable non-magnetic Zinc-alloy faceplates (PBTails new controller has these)
• removable back triggers with dedicated button assignments (like the Steam Deck’s L4/5 and R4/5 buttons; not just cloned face buttons like Sony and XBox do)
• integrated microphone with hardware toggle (PS5)
• proper “separate keys” d-pad… not the mushy type
• touch-sensitive surfaces for every button and stick (Meta / Oculus Quest controllers do this)
• per-finger-joint touch sensitive grips for each finger segment (Valve’s VR controllers did this)
• the ability to separate the halves of the controller so that each hand could hold one half independently and have them track similar to most standard VR controllers (think combining the switch controllers and Quest controllers)
• NFC communication (Amiibo-stuff for example)

If any single controller did even half of this, they’d easily be the GOAT.

That’d be the best controller, but probably like 500 dollars lol

JDPoZ, rok temu

If it had all those features and was made with some real quality parts, I would gladly pay 500 bucks for it.

potentiallynotfelix, rok temu

The last thing it would need would be cross-console compatibility. That might make it worth it.

I don’t really engage with the online mechanics in Elden Ring… Maybe I should? I’ve put hundreds of hours into the game otherwise. I rate and leave messages but I’ve never summoned help for co-op or invaded people except for Varre’s quest where I always just get obliterated by people who are way better prepared than me.
