I have an XBOX One controller and I can't tell the difference between it and my old XBOX 360 controller.

get a steam controller so you can know the joys of spending 45 minutes fine tuning the controls to get it just perfect.

I have an Xbox One controller for PC gaming and the dpad is way better but very clicky and loud. Other than that it's good, but if you don't care about the extra wrangling you'll have to do to get it to work with games I'd say get a Dualshock 4 instead.

The triggers are better but the shoulder buttons are rear end.

Get a WiiU or DS4 controller op.

you dont need a controller to play paradox strategy games so I'd say theres really no reason to get one

I love my DS4 but I wish I didn't have to have a dedicated program running in the background just to use it.

I wish they made a DS4 knockoff that was as big and fat as an Xbox controller, because I have large hands and the PS controller is too dainty. So like an Xbox controller with the left stick and dpad swapped.

That looks like it's real low quality probably but yeah I think so. I really like my wireless Xbox controller though. Wonder if they make bootleg ones that work with my receiver or something.

I have an Xbone controller for my PC and the D pad is way better than the 360 one but they hosed up the bumpers bad. they're super high up on the controller and hard for my girlish skeletal fingers to access

Nintendo also has the best current D-Pads, so, there's also that.

Also if your used to the button layout on Wii U the Mayflash adapter for PC (it also works on PS3 I think) actually maps the buttons to the corresponding ones on the Wii U controller.

The Nintendo D-pad has been the best part of Nintendo controllers, console and portable, since the GameCube

I got that with my xbox. It's definitely the best feeling controller I've got, as far as materials and texture are concerned, but I took out the paddles and still haven't found a reason to put them back.

you can have the adapter change to xbox button mapping by holding start + b on the controller

you just have to remember that a = b and x = y from now on
