@Felthry I like Sony's D-pads better than Nintendo's. The sticks get pretty loose as they wear out but new ones are nice
re: serious response to joke comment re: video game controller opinions, jokingly adversarial
@noiob oh is that true? maybe we've never had a non-worn-out dualshock then, we've only ever had used sony systems
re: serious response to joke comment re: video game controller opinions, jokingly adversarial
@noiob also we mostly play ps2 and it's not exactly possible to get a new dualshock 2 anymore, at least not for an amount anyone would describe as anything approaching reasonable
re: serious response to joke comment re: video game controller opinions, jokingly adversarial
@noiob as for the dpad thing, no accounting for taste, right? We prefer Nintendo's NES/SNES/N64 dpad design, but can see why you'd prefer the sony one.
I will say the PS Vita has a fantastic dpad though
those little tact switches are perfect for handhelds, and the dpad itself just feels nice and solid
re: serious response to joke comment re: video game controller opinions, jokingly adversarial
@Felthry yeah, I know. I heard there's ways to make Dualshock 3s work over generic Bluetooth adapters but those are in short supply too, the only one I have might be fake 😄
re: serious response to joke comment re: video game controller opinions, jokingly adversarial
@noiob apparently there's an official sony bluetooth adapter to let you use a dualshock 4 with a computer
re: serious response to joke comment re: video game controller opinions, jokingly adversarial
@noiob oh but that adapter goes for $80 never mind
re: serious response to joke comment re: video game controller opinions, jokingly adversarial
@Felthry the Dualshock 4 works with any cheap Bluetooth adapter
I'm a big fan of the PSP Go's D-Pad too, it doesn't have much travel but it still feels nice
re: serious response to joke comment re: video game controller opinions, jokingly adversarial
@noiob yeah, the vita dpad has very little travel too, which i think is ideal for a portable device.

@noiob Honestly the dualshock has never felt great to us
the analog sticks feel too loose, and the d-pad is just not as good as that of the 8bitdo and the SNES controller it's based on
still miles better than the 360 or gamecube dpads though.
