did anyone ever figure out what the "mode" button on the genesis 6 button controller do

Doesn't that just beat all
Gamecube dpad is a travesty. But the buttons are cool cuz theyre all different shapes so you always know what youre touching.

Im a dualshock guy though. No funny business there. Good dpad, two sticks. Four buttons.

The hori gbplayer one is sweet though(because of the good dpad), but yes it is overpriced in proportion to its rarity

it's even funnier how they released the smaller version for the japanese market cause the japanese tend to have smaller dicks hands, then made it the standard controller for all regions cause it wasn't offensively huge

Look guys I enjoy the gamecube controller as much as the next guy, but the Xbox 360 controller is objectively the best controller ever built, and there's just no point arguing it. The GC obviously helped influence it's design, but Microsoft really outdid themselves. It's comfortable in my giant hands, it's comfortable for my tiny-handed friends. It's pretty durable, and you can get it in pretty much any color combination you can imagine at this point. What more do you want from a controller?

Man, everybody brings that poo poo up, and I feel like this point is never made adequately in response. gently caress you and your loving d-pad bullshit. If you're using the d-pad in a situation where you need speed and precision, you're a loving moron. What, are you playing fighting games? You shouldn't be using a controller. You should be using an x-arcade, or one of those crazy expensive fighting pads. Man up and learn 2 game, son. Get your loving priorities straight in how you input. Then we can talk.

Edit: And for the other games? Learn a little goddamn stick control instead of just mashing that poo poo everywhere you loving plebs, jesus christ.


E2: I'm loving pumped! Come at me with your other "faults" with the controller. OH WAIT THERE ARE NONE. BAM!

^^^ I'm telling you man, stick control. I play a lot of the old platformers with my 360 controller nowadays and I find it to be a way more enjoyable experience. There's a reason they used to make those terrible joystick accessories for d-pads.


zen death robot posted:

The DS4 improved on the 360 controller in every way and even added a touchpad which is pretty nice when using Steam Big Screen Mode and you need a mouse input. You can also turn off the LED bar if you want in the software, so please do not bring that up.

Realtalk, I cannot hold any dualshock controller in a comfortable manner. I am pretty sure I am a freak, because I have been assured it is insanely comfortable, but it cramps my hand like no other. Also, I really really really really *really* hate the bumper setup. No good reason, I just can't stand it. Xbox 360 feels like I'm just curving my hands naturally.
