@noiob hot take: i honestly kind of find the boomerang controller endearing

you can see a lot of things in it where its like "hm, okay, i see what they were going for it" but they failed to take in a lot of things

like ergonomics,

@noiob i feel like. there is something there though? like i really like just how things are positioned there and the general shape of it

with some tweaking it'd probably be a pretty neat little thing

@pupy though to be fair the Dualshock 3 is pretty great, Sony's been great at doing incremental updates to their controller

@noiob i would agree if it werent for the fact that the ds4 is infinitely better in almost every way,

@pupy I really don't like the way the DS4 feels in my hand, the DS3 isn't super good either but I guess I have more mileage on that design so I got used to it

@noiob fair

controllers are a mess tbh. xb1 is alright but i still find the dpad a bit iffy

@pupy from the little time I've used the Xbone controller I really liked how clicky the D-Pad was, but anything's better than what they tried to pass as one before :D

the best controllers for my hands are the Switch Pro and the Steam Controller

@noiob god the 360 controller is such a mess i hate how it became the universal standard one for pcs

switch pro is good but the dpad is terrible x-x

@pupy you can make the D-Pad better by putting tape on the contacts, there's a few youtube tutorials, it went from unusable to pretty okay for me

though nowadays I use the official SNES switch controller for D-Pad-heavy games, it's so goood

@noiob thats kinda my issue,

i, me, an inept clumsy fuckhead, do no trust me, to open up a $60 fancy controller to fix something that shouldnt need fixing x-x

@noiob see also the fact that my main use of it would be for on pc bc i have a switch lite and if im buying a new pc controller i may as well just go for a ds4 cos i know i like those.

theyre also cheaper and kinda work a bit better '3';;

@pupy 🤷

the Switch Pro works beautifully over regular Bluetooth, for the record

@noiob ah, really? i wasnt actually aware. i was under the assumption that you had to do steam big picture fuckery to make it work but thats nice to know

@pupy well you need ds4windows for the DS4

@pupy I don't have a bluetooth stick here but I think it should just work over directinput? but who supports that lol

also the Steam gamepad thing has gotten quite good, you don't need to launch Big Picture anymore
