All of my old controllers are squeaky pieces of crap, I want to buy a new one for Derp Souls 3. Whats better the Dual shock 4 or the new Xbox One controller with the good bumpers? Which is cheaper? Which one do you like more. If you could only use one what would it be?

You need a DS controller to play DS3


[edit]
I really don't like the xbox controller, so I don't know if it's good or not.

I like both but the x1 controller has a better build for PC games imo

I'm too used to dual shock controllers for souls games to go with anything else

Whats the deal with DS4 + PC. How does it connect.. it uses micro USB right ? Do I need an adapter?

It's a regular micro USB cable, you can also pair over Bluetooth, there's a third-party program called DS4Windows that lets you use all the features and emulate a 360 controllers

Thats absurd. So I need to buy two cables then, one to make the end of it fit in the USB hole on my computer?

No, it's one cable with different size ends, one plugs into the controller and the other into a USB port on your PC

So the small end goes into the controller hole and the normal size USB plugger goes into the computer's front USB hole?

first, OP, you need to ask yourself if you are a gamer pleb Retard that doesn't have all button prompts programmed into your hand. will you dumbly press the Playstation X button when you see an Xbox X prompt in-game? if so then buy an xbox one controller for Retards

Ok so DS4 has the same plugging thing as the DS3 right? Im looking at my DS3 and theres a small bit that sticks into the controller but the end of it is a normal USB plugging end which works with pretty much every hole on my computer.

No. DS3 uses Mini USB which is different from Micro USB. Yes it's incredibly retarded

I know how he feels.
did they make a newer xb1 controller? I don't really like the bumpers on my current one.

in training mentioned a driver that lets you use the touchpad on the DS4 for PC games in another thread.

Ok but thats the end that pushes into my controller's top part, so it doesnt even matter, right? The other end is the one Im concerned about.

If you buy a DualShock 4 it should come with the appropriate cable because that's also how the controller charges. You put the little end in the controller and the big one in your PC.
