Posted: 18:43 - 10 Jan 2022 Post subject: Game controller recommendations |
|
|
Playing Witcher 3 with my trusty Xbox 360 controller and it's getting a little tired. Tempted to replace it with an Xbox One version.
The "best" one would be the Elite but that's north of £150 Probably the best bang-for-buck might be the standard XBox One wired controller but nobody seems to have that or even the wireless version in stock, everyone keeps touting "PowerA"
Any recommendations for an Xbox controller? ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I also used Xbox 360 controller, for years. Then when it died I got the standard One S controller with a 3m USB cable, worked great actually. Even the then new trigger rumble function worked in Microsoft published PC games. My issue is/was the built quality of the One S controller and even the latest Series (X) controller though. It's just poor. The thumbsticks and triggers are good, just as they ever were, but the buttons and d-pad are just cheap, so is the controller body. Comparing it purely to the original Xbox 360 controller.
That being said, the Xbox controllers on PC/Windows has been the ultimate plug 'n' play solution ever since Xbox 360 release. PC/Windows games are made for those controllers, unlike when you use a Playstation or any other brand controller that tend to have issues with mapping and game interface. The situation might have improved since I last played PC games.
Interestingly enough though, some of the PC/Windows games do utilise Playstation controllers as well. For instance, when you use a PS4/PS5 controller in Witcher 3 the game changes the UI and mapping, even the controller light works as it would on a Playstation.
TL; DR: Get the standard Xbox One/Series controller. You already know the 360 controller worked great in 99% of the games. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Xbox Series X/S, that's the keywords I should have been searching for
Still not much stock about though so I'll go with Nobby's idea. One of those times Amazon prime turned out to be cheaper and quicker as I've ordered a Logitech F310. £25 (free P&P) and should turn up tomorrow ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

An update on the Logitech F310 I bought...
I'd have to say it feels surprisingly well made. It's a dark blue metallic coloured plastic that looks much better than in the photos.
Main differences are obviously the stick positions. Depends on the game but I quite like the symmetry. The sticks also feel a touch bigger than my old XBox 360 controller and the return's better, doesn't feel like there's the same sloppy dead zone (time will tell on that though.)
It's designed for smaller hands which suits me. It also doesn't have a rumble motor so quite light. Very easy to hold with index and middle fingers hovering over the L/R buttons and triggers (big win in God of War.)
Overall I'd say fantastic value, versus a Chinese clone controller which is similar money. I'll update if it falls apart in 6 months ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Probably the Xbox Elite Controller. After that i would say Xbox One for all kind of games and PS4 for platformer/fighting games. The Ps5 Controller is ok, the d-pad is jank though. Same with Nintendo Pro Controller. Super janky D-Pad.

For using on PC, this is better than xbox one controller, or xbox 360 controller.
yes I know it looks like a play station controller but you can still use it like an xbox one on PC.
The quality is much better than xbox ones including afterglow as I've got those too.
