what does it have over an xbox one or ps4 controller. is it a weird touchpad mouse thing? why not just use a mouse?

To me it feels like a good mix of gamepad and mouse and was extremely easy to use without have to gently caress with button mappings too much... And no 3rd party input wrapper/driver like I had to use with a ds3

i was mainly curious, i guess it'd be nice in something like mgsv where you only have two speeds (running and walking) because they hosed up the pc controls for that at least

is the dpad really good enough for platformers and fighting games? that was a big thing that always turned me off

I'm really glad that fighting sticks have gotten to the point where I just plug it into the computer and it works with 0 hassle on like 10 different game and programs. Which is very handy

yeah i wouldnt play a fg with it but if the dpad works for those it would seem like it could function with anything mainly

There's a cool vid of some guy who mapped the D-pad to the gyroscope and was pulling off shoryukens in USFIV with calculated controller whips.

hell yeah.
