bold of Sony to break with the Dualshock tradition and go for a new revolutionary design

@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

Follow

@pupy oh and the extra rumble motors in the triggers on the Xbone pad are so cool

@noiob @pupy they're SO good for racing games like forza, and i wish every controller had them

@MochiWaifu @pupy wish they worked on non-Windows-Store apps on PC lol

@noiob @pupy they do on like... 1 game i know of
F1 2019 or something?
i think codemasters kinda cheated and included JUST the uwp xinput dll in the folder lol

but yeah, they're technically not supported by non uwp and it sucks T_T

@MochiWaifu @pupy I don't actually have one (I use my wired 360 pad for everything on PC if I can't use the Steam Controller) or nowadays the Switch Controller via the 8bitdo
